Abstract:
Innovative civic and political outlook which
understands culture as a justified and evident political
target are of practical importance for the new nationstates,
especially Russia after 1991. On the one hand nationbuilding
policies encourage the Fortress syndrome, on
the other diversified cultural landscapes have become the
intrinsic characteristics of Russian society, while the routine
cultural interaction expands in everyday practices and in
particular locations re-establishing constructive principle
of “thinking globally and acting locally”.

Russian Art at the Turn of the 20th Century
and Its Role in the Cultural Synthesis of the West
and the East
// Culture and Art.
2012. ¹ 1.
P. 18-27.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59039
Abstract:
This article focuses on a transitional period in the
history of Russian art, namely on the turn of the 20th century.
An intensive interaction between different cultures – Russian,
Western and Eastern - was taking place during this very period.
The phenomenon of the cultural synthesis is a subject of our
particular analysis. Special attention is given to assimilation
of Eastern cultural values as part of the synthesis which
characterizes not just the Russian but the Western culture as
well. At the same time in some cases such assimilation in Russian
culture shows its seamy side - the anti-Western sentiment.
An increasing interest in Eastern values at the turn of the
20th century in Russia we demonstrate through the analysis
of the works of L. Tolstoy, V. Solovyov, A. Bely, A. Blok,
N. Roerich, V. Khlebnikov, A. Dobroliubov, K. Balmont, B.
Livshits, and others. A special page of this history covers
the reflection of the “Eurasians” (historians, philosophers,
publicists) – G.Vernadsky, L.Karsavin, N. Karsavin, among
others. Their writings had formulated the idea which had been
reverberating in art in a subconscious form. Later, closer to
modern times, its development will be continued by L.Gumilev.

Cultural Types of the Stage Artistic Impression
in West-European Conducting
// Culture and Art.
2012. ¹ 1.
P. 61-67.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59045
Abstract:
The article provides definition and analysis
of cultural types of scenic artistic impression based on the
example of key representatives of West-European conducting
(Hans von Bulow, Felix Weingartner, Wilhelm Furtwangler,
Arturo Toscanini, Herbert von Karajan, Seiji Ozawa, Daniel
Barenboim, Simon Rattle). The author of the article describes
types of conductors: the three basic types (dictator, action
boy, intellectual and poet) and mixed types (politician,
businessmen and showman and a ‘traveling’ conductor).
The author of the article also analyzes particular influence of
conductors of different types on the orchestra. The author also
tries to answer the following question: why some conductors who have a wonderful ear and memory for music, cannot
become a great conductor, while others who are less talented
play an important role in the history of music? For the first
time the author suggests a classification which is not based on
music or art studies but philosophy and culture (using such
categories as ‘success’ and ‘artistic impression’).

cultural studies, conductor, dictator, action boy, activity, music, artistic impression, success, personality, orchestra, choir.

Method of Structural Analysis of Literary
Characters: Approbation and First Results
// Culture and Art.
2012. ¹ 1.
P. 97-106.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=59050
Abstract:
The article describes one of the most promising
direction in psychological literary studies – literary characterology.
The author of the article approbates the method of
hypothetic reconstruction of literary heroes by means of a text
structural analysis. The object of the research is the roman
‘Venus in Fur’ (1869) written by an Austrian writer Leopold
von Sacher-Mazoch. The main heroes there are identified as
accentuated personalities standing very close to pathology.
It is well shown that the structural analysis allows to take
a new look at the plot and conflict of the novel and better
understand a very complex phenomenon of masochism. The
author introduces such terms as ‘aglo charaters’ and ‘micro
schisis’ and defines a number of certain patterns which were
not noticed by researchers before.
Keywords:
accentuated personality, Venus in Furs, Leopold von Sacher-Mazoch, cultural studies, psychological literary studies, structural analysis, psychosemiotics, characterology.
