Openness as a key characteristic of Internet culture
type: item
description: The culture of the modern information society acquires new features and characteristics, determined by the phenomenon of systemic digitisation and the spread of network forms of communication.

The deelitisation of art in the era of the «new sincerity»
type: item
description: Contemporary art and, accordingly, art criticism are faced with an unprecedented problem, since their traditional concepts and criteria, which have lost their epistemological significance and the predominance in the artistic process of the ideas of synergetics, pluralism, participation and immersion, today are by no means adequate to the ideological and artistic transformations that gave rise to collapse of modernism. In addition, the traditional criterion (high, elite art and the public) is losing its importance for creativity and its evaluation. At the same time, according to the author, more «tolerant» criteria are being actualised, based on the increasing importance of satisfying creative, artistic needs and, consequently, the need for respect, veneration, authority, i. e. artistic prestige (art prestige).

Female subjectivity: body language
type: item
description: The subject of the study is female subjectivity, viewed through the prism of its socio-cultural stigma, as well as body language as a «conductor» of norms and regulations from patriarchal culture. The article pays attention to subjectivity as a category that reflects the uniqueness of a person who has not been identified with a woman for a long time. Stereotypical attitudes towards the feminine were and are a consequence of natural gender discrimination, leading to economic and political exploitation. Women’s subjectivity is defined in the context of a value-based attitude towards oneself as an individual with a system of choice, not necessarily marked by marriage or motherhood.

Game factors of childhood subculture
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to study the game factors of childhood subculture and their influence on it. The article provides a brief description of such concepts as childhood, game, subculture and childhood subculture. The influence of game factors on a person at various stages of his growing up is considered. Both positive and negative aspects of the game’s influence are revealed. After the analysis, it was established that game is one of the cultural values, thanks to which a person learns to interact with cultural society, to develop as a full-fledged personality, while still a child, undergoing a kind of preparation for adulthood. This follows from the fact that gaming practice is on a par with various types of human activity (labour, social, communicative), since children absorb information and learn primarily through gaming activities. Therefore, it can be argued that game, to a certain extent, is a component of human activity in children’s subculture.

Features of using reminiscence in designing a fashion suit
type: item
description: The article analyses the meaning of the concept «artistic image» in the designing a fashion suit, as well as the peculiarities of the perception of the costume in the modern cultural space. Thanks to artistic image unique artistic and figurative products were created and are being created now, filled with inspiring examples and ideas of the past and the fantasy future. The artistic image in the costume is revealed through the reminiscence of ideas borrowed from the visual, theatrical or any other kind of art. To create an artistic image in a costume, as a work of cultural and artistic significance, the designer uses a historically established set of artistic means and techniques, which implies the choice of artistic foundations and proportions that form the artistic style of a fashion costume, the organisation of compositional and constructive lines and external silhouette forms, the choice of corative elements characteristic of the selected source of inspiration, based on which the product is created. At the stage of designing a fashion suit, the designer searches for means to satisfy human tastes, followed by their implementation into a finished unique product. The process of implementing the designer’s ideas implies not only a technical component, but also an artistic one. For the process of artistic design, reminiscence is used as one of the methods of shaping a fashion suit. Reminiscence in the process of creating a costume, as a rule, is secondary and retrospective, but always gives the product the quality of novelty and uniqueness. In completely new readings and in other semantic and compositional combinations, previously known themes, plots, motifs, forms and elements are interpreted in the costume.

Justification of the scientific discipline «Design studies»
type: item
description: Appeal to the study of design and determination of scientific discipline of design research, dictated by the need to comprehend the problems associated with changes in modern culture, which has entered the post-industrial era. The subordination of design to the general trend of transformation is revealed by the obvious multidirectional and multiscale processes both within the practice of design and in the process of its comprehension and theorising. The transformational processes taking place in design are the result of the general trend of civilisation development and are revealed by the polyphony of practice, expansion and blurring of the phenomenon boundaries, as well as institutionalisation of the scientific discipline. Design as an active participant in the processes occurring in society and culture is subject to structural and qualitative transformations. Developing design practice and a growing interest in the phenomenon of design by researchers from various fields of knowledge form new approaches to its study and justification and actualise a new discipline «Design studies». The growing interest to design on the part of humanitarian studies reflects the results of its influence on social life and proves its total character. The processes of such penetration we can observe everywhere in the public, professional and individual-personal spheres, as from a type of activity on design of communication design turns into a language of communication, performing the task of socio-cultural integrator of social interaction. The relevance of the study is due to the need to introduce the term design research as a new area including all aspects of design practice and design theory in the Russian-speaking space. The application of the comparative method allowed determining the research of design as a discipline in different contexts and noting the relevance of the inclusion of Russian-speaking scholars in the global processes of studying such a complex and transforming phen…

Postmodern archival turn and «archive fever» of the Belarusian folklore community
type: item
description: The article deals with the concept of an archive, which is seen in postmodernism as an ordered, power-determined representation of the past within a certain community. This kind of archive is full of ambiguities, lacunas and distortions, which makes the past unavailable in some objective, pure form. According to J. Derrida contemporary culture is gripped by «archive fever», the desire to find out what of the events, objects, ideas of the past was intentionally or accidentally cashed and hidden. Conceptually, this «archive fever» is an expression of such trend of contemporary culture as its orientation towards the past. This tendency is manifested in Belarus as well, in particular, through increasing attention to Belarusian traditional, or folk cultural forms. In today’s Belarus there is a folklore movement, which responds to global and foreign tendencies. Its representatives in the «archive fever» turn to the lost, displaced cultural forms (such as traditions of amateur photography, village non-professional music, naive drawings on glass), investigate what place they occupied in the past and how they can be actualised in the present.

New forms of dialog of authorities with Islamic culture in France
type: item
description: The article deals with the process of building the relationship between the state authorities in France and representatives of the Muslim population of the country. The attempts to institutionalise Islam initiated by the state are noted, and the reasons for their failure are revealed. The author analyses a new stage in the search for forms of dialogue acceptable to the parties, expressed in the creation of a new structure – the Forum of Islam in France. The author sees a special role for the development of communication on Islam in the establishment of the French Institute of Islamology, whose activities should inspire the development of French Islam, not confronting the values of the French Republic. It shows how the cultural policy of the state has changed from an externally regulative form of influence on the Muslim population to a process of defining common values and initiating a critical reflection (through science and education) of norms and customs within Islamic traditions.

Injection microchipping technology in biohaсking culture
type: item
description: The theme of biohacking as one of the directions of transhumanism philosophy and cultural phenomenon, including convergent technologies to improve human biological quality is revealed. The culturological problem of using personal data of a person in microchipping technologies is raised. The spectrum of implementation of these technologies in the culture of biochipping is considered, as well as forecasts and consequences of the processes that condition the unification (homogeneity) of world development, which can lead to the unity of civilisational progress, i. e. integral civilisation, and the loss of each person’s sense of his own uniqueness and rights to personal life.

Non-classical teaching methods in inclusive education: author’s experience at the university of arts
type: item
description: The article presents non-classical teaching methods in inclusive education through the author’s experience at the university of arts at the faculty of art. In inclusive education in Kazakhstan, there has been a stable trend towards reorientation of the higher education system towards important values, where a key place is given to the humanisation of the pedagogical process for inclusive education. The author’s cases considered in the work help students with special educational needs to think, analyse, search, compare, argue and find. In the study group where students with special needs study, the lecturer needs to revise the cases without affecting the theme of the lecture, but partially change the case itself, taking into account new conditions and circumstances. A contemporary lecturer working in the line of inclusive education must develop a syndrome of dedicated attention for himself, so that he does not escape the fact that it is important for a lecturer to keep special students in focus in the auditorium, to hook them, to interest them so that learning is a joy and pleasure for them. In such conditions the orienting function of the humanistic approach in inclusive education comes to the fore, where philosophical and methodological prerequisites are valuable, such as the formation of a personality, creativity, spiritual, humane and culturally creative truths.

The problem of blended forms of learning in the research work of the university department
type: item
description: The author considers organisational forms of learning as an educational matter of topical interest at the department of English for humanities, faculty of social and cultural communications for the indicated period (2018–2023), which is characterised by numerous social conflicts, geopolitical transformations, as well as unfavourable pandemic conditions. The latter actualised the problem of educational design in the emergency situations. The results of the completed research are analysed, and the necessity to continue research its topic in terms of creating information and educational environment and didactic support is substantiated. A pilot version of the model of synchronous hybrid learning is proposed as the most perspective in the conditions of social instability and non-standard pedagogical situations.

The anthropomorphic structures of London in contemporary British fiction
type: item
description: The article deals with the image of London as a central character in the British prose of the turn of the 20th–21st centuries. Despite the accumulated experience of describing the British capital in the Victorian and realistic novel, the writers of the late 20th – early 21st century manage to bring a new perspective on this topos by means of personification. The tendency to use personification of a topos as a key literary strategy of a work is viewed, on the one hand, from the perspective of the rapid development of the worldview paradigm of anthropocentrism, which has found application in all spheres of humanitarian knowledge. On the other hand, it is explained by art laws, since the very fact of transferring a non-anthropomorphic character from secondary to the title character gives it a certain degree of anthropomorphism. The article analysis the topic image of London in «London» (1997) by E. Rutherford, «London. The biography» (2000) by P. Ackroyd and «Capital» (2012) by J. Lanchester, as well as «Conventional» (2006) by H. Simpson. The research reveals the ways of constructing anthropomorphic figurative structures in the analysed works: physiological personification in Ackroyd’s biography, a cultural-historical excursion in Rutherford’s novel, a contemporary social snapshot in Lanchester’s one and a phenomenological reduction in H. Simpson’s story. It is noted that all the authors, to varying degrees, resort to historical and literary allusions, depersonalisation of Londoners, enumeration rows, polyphony, and eco-motifs.

Intercultural dialogue in art: theoretical aspect
type: item
description: An important methodological device in the study of Belarusian art is the intercultural, or cross-cultural, dialogue. This approach allows us to see the dialogical border between the cultures of different countries and explain the options for adapting foreign stylistics in the art of Belarus and the art of Eastern and Western Europe. The formulation of this problem allows us to understand the degree and levels of perception of art associated with different regional peculiarities and the cultural level of those who perceive art artifacts.
