Abstract:
Cervantes’ novel is alongside the Bible as one
of the most frequently published books in the world. His
interpretations are countless and make the text rather
diffi cult for understanding. Let us try to read the novel
putting aside his ideologies and axiologies. Let’s say we
are not interested in Cervantes as a Catholic, Cervantes
as a monarchist, a patriot or a representative of the
Pochvennichestvo. It is Cervantes the ‘free lancer’ we are
interested in. Perhaps such an approach will cast light on
important aspects of the novel’s meaning which heretofore
have been hidden from the researches of Spanish literature
and culture.
Keywords:

Fascism and the Contingency of Cinematic Time
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 5.
P. 16-23.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58639
Abstract:
The article questions about the extent to which
the National Socialism and Italian fascism were created
by cinematograph and the emphasis of cinematograph on
those, which role the cinematograph played in propaganda
of politically signifi cant symbols and emotions and what
responses were created to the paradoxes of the cinematic
time. The author proceeds from the assumption that both
Nazi and Fascism ideologies appealed to the logic of the
epoch of cinematograph in the hope of connecting the present
with a major ideological need. In order to reinforce his
position, the author analyzes Fillipo Tommaso Marinetti’s
Futurist Manifesto written in 1909, A. Hitler’s speech at
the opening of the Great Exhibition of German Art in 1937,
Italian sculptor Umberto Boccioni’s artwork and etc.

Gnoseological Relation and Interaction of Scientifi

P. 24-33.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58640
Abstract:
Being the follower of the literature-centered
outlook on the basic, fundamental cultural phenomena,
the author disseminates his approach and views on
interdisciplinary interaction between culture (in particular,
literature) and humanitarian disciplines. The author
proposes a hypothesis about literature-determinated genesis
of sociology and, going even further — the entire class
of humanitarian sciences. Having performed an insight
into the development of the thesis, the author tries to
prove the close gnoseological relation between literature
(documentary literature in the fi rst place) and social science.

Abstract:
During the last Soviet decades music sociology
has being formed in the conceptual space of Russian music
studies as a primarily ideological product. This article
studies the music sociological texts of late 1960th – early
1980th as a tool of cultural policy. It is concluded that the
mission of this science should be, in the fi rst place, the
creation of acceptable offi cial ‘image’ of the Soviet audience,
its preferences and responses to music.

Abstract:
Linguistic communication created by human
activity can turn into a factor guiding this activity. Variety
and complexity of linguistic communication aggravate
the social and cultural issues. The author describes the
basic infl uences of linguistic communication on social
and cultural realities: stimulation and organization, destruction,
compensation, prognosis, context and contents,
esthetics, social enter tain ment. The language is used at its
most capacity by the society of high cultural development.

// Culture and Art.

P. 48-53.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58643
Abstract:
The article is devoted to I. V. Stalin’s replies
to letters of the readers of his «Regarding Marxism in
Linguistics» («On some problems of linguistics: reply to
E. Krasheninnikova’ and ‘Reply to Comrades»). The article
shows that the Soviet leader evidently wanted to use his
own example as a demonstration of ‘struggle of opinions,
freedom of criticism’. Stalin’s social and governmental
policy did not give a chance to such a struggle, but he
found the way to reconcile the contraries, different ways
represented by different letters, as the matter of fact.
Keywords:
cultural studies, linguistics, textological analysis, relation between the formal and semantic interpretations, formalism in linguistics, the role of dialects information of national languages, Mongolian dialects, sound language and sign language, language of the future, the beginning of the ‘Stalin’s period’ in the Soviet linguistics.

// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 5.
P. 54-60.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58644
Abstract:
The author of the article applies M. Foucault’s
methodology to researching and teaching the Russian
culture. The conception of the archeology of knowledge
combined with other methodological concepts (by Thomas
Kuhn, Erwin Panofsky, Naum Pevsner) allows to establish the
research frame for analyzing the mechanisms of interaction
and mutual infl uence of the historical epoch and concrete
spheres of culture. In order to describe his original views on
development of culture, the author makes his own categories
of terms allowing to avoid a discriminated description of
the culture-historical process (the spirit of the time, culturehistorical
paradigm, leading cultural practice).
Keywords:
cultural studies, culture-historical process, Russian Empire, Baroque, Modern Age culture, archeology (genealogy) of knowledge, the spirit of times (German Zeitgeist), culture-historical paradigm, leading cultural practice.

Interaction between the Museum and Society as a
Socio-Cultural Issue
// Culture and Art.

P. 61-64.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58645
Abstract:
The article empathizes that historically we
have various forms of museum in Russia (private, institutional
and state museums). The latter has been the
most universal form but this form is not mobile enough.
In practice, it is important to combine museum’s extra
system functions allowing to work with different social
classes with system functions which have been historically
related to organization of the museum’s interior life. Such
an approach has already brought us to the fact that today
the leading Russian museums do not seem to be some kind
of reservation or cultural necropolis. Quite on the contrary,
they are part of local historical and cultural environment.

Abstract:
In the 20th century many classical artworks
truly changed due to development of new technologies.
A completely new form of art, screen music theatre,
appeared, and today it offers many unique works such
as fi lmed version of M. P. Mussogorsky’s ‘Pictures at an
Exhibition’. The composer’s suite acquires a new form in
fi lmed ballets by I. Heber, M. Pendleton and Ch. Dutoit as
well as in cartoon ballets by I. Kovalevsky, O. Tezuka and A. Alekseeva. Film versions of ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ are all
original interpretations, in most cases quite typical for the
post-Modernism ‘play with the text’.

Mass Culture as a Context for an Opera Performance:
P. I. Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades’

// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 5.
P. 94-98.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58649
Abstract:
The article studies the stage version of P.
I. Tchaikovsky’s opera ‘The Queen of Spades’ directed
by A. Galibin from the point of view of mass culture
being the context for an opera performance. The study
results in the two conclusions. Firstly, it is concluded
that the features of mass culture in a performance
include: dominance of the reproductive beginning or
over the creative one, actualization of specific behavior
of a ‘mass human’ in acting, external visual appeal and
formal illustrations of scenography and stage direction,
absence of integrality and consistency of solutions in
acting. Secondly, it is concluded that such a performance
realizes the principles of mass culture: simplicity,
accessibility, regularity and easy perception.

Abstract:
It is the fi rst Russian publication of James
Joyce’s essay ‘James Clarence Mangan’ (1920), one of the
fundamental works which expresses early Joyce’s esthetic
attitudes. The main hero of his essay, James K. Mangan
(1803-1849), a ‘Celtic Nerval’, was a poet, translator, essay
writer and one of the brightest fi gures of Irish and European
late Romanticism. This essay became an important part
of early Joyce’s creative works; many of the thoughts,
formulas and stylistic expressions were then repeated and
transformed in other Joyce’s works.

Escape FROM: Mysterious Emergence and Disappearance
of Gleb Tsvel
// Culture and Art.
2011. ¹ 5.
P. 104-107.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58651
Abstract:
The article devoted to creative work by Oleg
Udaev (Gleb Tsvel) shows that practically in every work by
Oleg Udaev we can fi nd examples of his thorough attention
to the gaps between material matters, phenomena and
circumstances which were often reconciled by the author at
their contrasting points according to Lomonosov’s principle
of ‘reconciliation of contraries’ and actualized by Russian nerds, and then — imagists, OBERIU, and various Dadaists
and surrealists in the 20th century. Perhaps, our young hero
read some of them, although it is more possible that he felt the
need in crossing borders, in reconciliations, in getting a hold
of words and dreams even in the air around him. The reality
was defi nitely too small for him. It just narrowed the space
which was much wider than dictations and copy-books.
Keywords:
Russian avant-garde in literature, poet, Oleg Udaev — Gleb Tsvel, author and reader, writings (poems or texts), accentuation of texts, overcoming a negative experience by destructing this experience, ‘atonal’ lyrics, tragedy-drama-comic spaces.
