Abstract:
The subject of the research is the development, creation and holding of a group immersive exhibition "Millennials", the authors and creators of which are a creative team consisting of a teacher and 15 students. The subject of the exhibition is the culture of childhood in Russia in the first decade of the 21st century. It was during these years that the childhood of the students took place, 13 of whom were born in 2002, and two in 1998 and 1999. The article presents the innovative experience of organizing and holding an immersive exhibition dedicated to the culture of childhood in Russia at the beginning of the XXI century, created by students of the final year of the bachelor's degree of A.I. Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University (direction "Cultural education", module: "Museum and theater pedagogy") in October 2023 - January 2024 under the guidance of the author of the article – M.L.Magidovich. The following approaches and methods of sociological surveys were used by the authors: case study, included observation, focused survey, anonymous questionnaire. In many ways, the study was based on the theory of cultural capital and social space of Pierre Bourdieu. The novelty of the study is determined by the artistic components of the exposition (concept, title, texts, sculptural objects, audio-visual content), the format of the exhibition (performative basis, theatricalization, interactivity), as well as the author's methodology and methodology for collecting and processing empirical data obtained during the development and holding of the exhibition. Among the main conclusions, one can note the revealed nostalgia for the own childhood of modern 20-year-olds, the dependence of generational cultural codes and the structure of everyday life in childhood on television content viewed in preschool and primary school age, problems of intergenerational communications associated with various spectator experiences in childhood. The format of the collective exhibition of students contributes not only to the growth of professional competence of future professionals, but can also become the basis for convergent research and the development of significant museum projects. The obtained research results can be used both in the artistic practice of contemporary art and in social and humanitarian studies of youth.

The professional hero in the field of music pedagogy
// Culture and Art.
2024. ¹ 8.
P. 16-29.
DOI: 10.7256/2454-0625.2024.8.71485 EDN: MXWAYB URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=71485
Abstract:
The object of the study is heroization in the professional sphere, which assumes that a professional hero becomes a person who has achieved outstanding results in his professional activity and has received public recognition. The purpose of the article is to present outstanding musicians and teachers as professional heroes involved in the formation of ideological, artistic and aesthetic attitudes of society. The study analyzes the experience of pedagogical activity of outstanding teachers of the South Ural State Tchaikovsky Institute of Arts (hereinafter referred to as the Tchaikovsky Law School): G.K. Gavrilova, M.A. Sadovskaya, E.V. Mikhalchenko, V.G. Khudyakova, G.K. Kendysh, who are presented as professional heroes. As a result of the research, a cognitive model of the glorification of a professional figure was developed and criteria for the glorification of a professional in the field of music pedagogy were proposed: the presence of their own methodological teaching system, the presence of a large number of outstanding student musicians occupying a high segment of professional musical art and education, recognition of outstanding achievements by students and the pedagogical community. The methodology consists in using an integrated approach and synthesis of research methods for music pedagogy, art history, linguistics, namely, the concretization of certain provisions of heroic linguistics; observation and diagnosis; generalization and analysis of the experience of creative and pedagogical activities of outstanding professionals based on heterogeneous material (scientific and methodological literature, publications in the press, conversations with colleagues and students). The novelty of the research consists in considering the results of the professional activities of teachers and musicians of the Tchaikovsky Law School in the heroic paradigm, as a socially creative product having not only local professional and pedagogical value, but also universal socio-cultural significance, which determines their influence on the formation of axiological guidelines and artistic and aesthetic attitudes of society. The authors conclude that the proposed criteria for evaluating the activity of a musician-teacher are justified for the glorification of a professional figure in the field of music pedagogy, and each of the musicians considered in the article meets the designated criteria for the glorification of the personality of a professional figure. The reference character of the creative and pedagogical activities of professional heroes determines the possibility of their participation in the formation of ideological and artistic and aesthetic attitudes of society.

“He Descends on the Clouds; He Has a Golden Scepter in His Right Hand; a Two-Headed Eagle Hovers Above Him”: the Figure of the Genius of Russia in Russian Art of the Late 18th – First Quarter of the 19th Century

Abstract:
Alongside with personification of Russia, there are other state personifications in Russian art, including Genius of Russia. Despite some interest to this figure (V.M. Faibisovich), its iconography has not yet been comprehensively analyzed. Appearance of “Genius of the Russian Empire” in the ballet “The New Argonauts” (1770) by Gasparo Angiolini allows us to assume that this personification became widespread in Russian art in the second half of the 18th century. In the article, this personification is examined on materials of artworks and performances of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Western European context. Geniuses are good guardian spirits of individuals, or territories, or countries. Geniuses were represented as puttos, young men or women, typically winged, sometimes with flames on their hair. Genius of Russia could have miscellaneous attributes: a golden scepter, a coat of arms (or sometimes he could have been accompanied by an eagle – a heraldic animal), a cornucopia, a palm branch, Hercules’ club, a sword. Genius of Russia acquired great significance in the early 19th century in connection with the Patriotic War of 1812. There are two fundamental variations of his iconography: a winged (or sometimes wingless, but hovering) personification in antique dress and a half-naked, armed warrior with an ancient Russian helmet (“as Slavic vityaz”). The latter variety at the beginning of the 19th century was associated with the theme of glorification of the Russian Empire and presented in projects of medals by A.N. Olenin (1817) commemorating the Patriotic War, and existed in theatrical performances. The image of Genius of the Russian Empire “as Slavic vityaz” was most in demand at the beginning of the 19th century; subsequently, an image of Vityaz (Bogatyr) became widespread in Russian art.
