The Man without a Country: British Imperial Nostalgia in Ferry to Hong Kong (1959)
Authors: Ng Kenny K.K.
Published: September 2022

On New Year’s Eve 1959, Ferry to Hong Kong was screened at the Lee Theatre and the Astor in Hong Kong. Produced by Rank as its first CinemaScope feature, the big-budget movie tells the real-life tale of Steven Ragan (he was also known as Michael Patrick O’Brien), a stateless drifter who was stuck for ten months on the ferry sailing between Hong Kong and Macau from September 18, 1952, to July 30, 1953. The British film was Rank’s major Anglo-American joint venture of the year. Positioned within Cold War contexts, Ferry to Hong Kong could be seen as a British cultural-diplomatic response through cinematic soft power to reestablish national assurance on Asian Cold War fronts, following the 1956 Suez Canal debacle that witnessed the death of Britain’s imperial might at the hands of the Eisenhower administration. Unlike such vaunted Hollywood pictures as Soldier of Fortune (1955), Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955), and The World of Suzie Wong (1960), which imagined the incursions of American white knights into Hong Kong (as a stand-in for China), Ferry to Hong Kong conveyed imperial nostalgia and loss. The film turns the antihero into a paragon of British gallantry who saves the passengers and refugees from the hands of Chinese (Communist) pirates. The sinking ferryboat is the traumatic device used to recall British naval war stories and retell romantic and narcissistic tales of British valor and international influence. More than an adventure of a vagabond, Ferry to Hong Kong was an espionage thriller in uneasy disguise. The film preceded Gilbert’s three James Bond films, all of which affirmed the power of the individual in cracking transboundary networks of espionage and political intrigue.
Back to social classes?
Authors: Chiesi Antonio M.
Published: September 2022

Alongside a literature that considers the reference to social classes to be misleading, there has been a recent debate on the persisting importance of social classes in sociological explanation. This debate has brought interesting empirical results, but has also put into question the traditional schemes of classes that have been used since the 1980s.The diminishing ability of the variable ‘class’ to explain a large part of social phenomena is not due to the disappearance of classes, but to the inability of the traditional schemes to reflect the emerging aspects of the structure, which continue to perform their central role in explaining social inequalities. The article identifies and discuss the most important of these emerging aspects and their implication for the proposal of new empirical schemes.

Les médecins du football
Authors: Viaud Baptiste
Published: September 2022

Cet article interroge les conditions sociales et structurelles d’ouverture des positions médicales dans le monde du football professionnel. Les logiques économiques et vocationnelles sont déterminantes, mais ne doivent pas être surestimées car elles n’agissent pas seules. Vouloir vivre du football, pour le football, ne suffit pas. Encore faut-il se faire embaucher. Les voies de l’engagement sont marquées d’une profonde diversité, qui s’explique par la multiplicité des agents recruteurs et l’absence de mandataire clairement identifié pour autoriser l’accès des médecins au sein des clubs. La saisonnalité des résultats en compétition construit en outre un calendrier des recrutements fluctuant et peu prévisible. Or ces fenêtres d’opportunité s’ouvrent à des moments spécifiques des carrières médicales, et un projet de travail dans le football qui pouvait être envisageable un temps peut s’avérer inopportun plus tard. On comprend alors, à rebours des entretiens conduits avec les médecins et au cours desquels les enquêtés sont prompts à saluer le « hasard » d’une « belle rencontre », combien sont nombreuses les conditions qui rendent possible et envisageable l’occupation de telles positions.

The Development of a Coaxial Acoustics Test System for Rotor Noise
Authors:   Pennsylvania State University, Akif Raja , Greenwood Eric , Palacios Jose , Weitsman Daniel
Published: September 2022

This paper describes the development of a new dual rotor test stand for the Open Jet Flow-Through Anechoic Chamber at the Penn State University. The Coaxial Acoustic Test System (CATS) can accommodate the testing of isolated, tandem, and coaxial rotor configurations operating in hover, climb, cruise, and descent flight conditions. The stand is equipped with a traversable microphone array that enables acoustic measurements to be acquired at a variety of azimuthal directivity angles. This paper highlights the design process as well as some of the encountered issues and their solutions. Sample results for two representative coaxial co-rotating rotor configurations are also presented. The first configuration consists of two vertically separated “stacked” rotors mounted on a single shaft. The rotors are mounted on separate shafts in the second configuration, so that the azimuthal position of the blades varies throughout the measurement. Close agreement was achieved in the average thrust and torque measurements for the two rotor configurations. The separated configuration had higher tonal noise levels than the stacked configuration, although broadband noise levels were similar.
Aeroacoustic Characterization of Optimum Hovering Rotors using Artificial Neural Networks
Authors:   NASA Langley Research Center, Thurman Christopher , Zawodny Nikolas
Published: September 2022

This work illustrates the use of artificial neural network modeling in the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characterization of optimum hovering rotors over a broad range of design and operating conditions. Design of Experiments was used to create input feature spaces over eight input factors: the number of rotor blades, rotor radius, rotor rotation rate, design thrust condition, collective pitch, airfoil camber, the location of maximum camber, and the airfoil thickness. A low-fidelity tool chain was then used at the discrete data points defined by the designed input feature spaces to analytically design optimum hovering rotors and simulate aerodynamic and aeroacoustic quantities. This allowed for the generation of data sets over which to train and test the artificial neural network prediction models. Prediction models were trained over the data sets for the actual thrust generated by the rotor, power loading, tonal thickness and loading noise at the fundamental blade passage frequency, and broadband self-noise at seventeen one-third octave bands between 1 kHz and 40 kHz. These prediction models were validated by testing over data previously unseen by the models to quantify their capability for generalization to new data within the design feature space. The models were then used to study the effect each input feature had on the aeroacoustics and aerodynamics of optimum hovering rotors, and physical insights were gained to further explain the effect of each input. This characterization study showed that tonal noise and power loading were most sensitive to the number of rotor blades and the rotor rotation rate and that broadband noise was most sensitive to collective pitch and the design thrust condition.
eVTOL Rotor Noise in Ground Effect

Published: September 2022

This study examines a hovering three-bladed two-rotor system in close operation to the ground. The rotor pair is oppositely phased and is examined for two heights, H/D = 1 and H/D = 0.5. Loads for these rotors are generated using the CFD solver AcuSolve, as well as the Rensselaer Multicopter Analysis Code (RMAC). The loads generated using CFD include aerodynamic interactions from inter-rotor effects and ground-rotor effects. These loads are coupled to the acoustic propagation PSU-WOPWOP code for acoustic predictions at an observer grid located at “ear height” from the ground. Rotors are also added below the ground to simulate perfect acoustic ground reflections. From the simulation results, the noise signals from the rotors were found to have a distinct directivity pattern of six locations of high noise and six locations of low noise caused by the rotor phasing. The introduction of aerodynamic interactions increases loading noise and has a significant effect on the high frequency noise content. These effects are amplified for the H/D = 0.5 case as the interactions are stronger. Ground reflections increased noise across the observer grid, and further enhanced the high frequency noise generated by the interactional aerodynamic loads.
Acoustic Predictions for the Side-by-Side Air Taxi Rotor in Hover
Authors:   University of California Davis, Sagaga Jared , Lee Seongkyu
Published: September 2022

In this paper, acoustic predictions are performed for the rotors of NASA’s side-by-side Urban Air Mobility (UAM) aircraft in hover. Investigations of the acoustics are performed on four overlap configurations, 0%, 5%, 15%, and 25%, in hover via high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. CFD simulations are carried out using the HPCMP CREATETM-AV Helios and acoustics calculations are conducted using PSUWOPWOP. Blade airloads and performance of the rotors are computed for this study. Predictions on the rotor airloads and wake geometry are compared for all overlap configurations at a collective pitch angle of 8°. It is shown that the 25% overlap configuration yields a higher overall sound pressure level (OASPL) than for the other overlap configurations, mainly due to stronger blade-vortex-interactions at the entrance and exit locations of the overlap region. It is found that the OASPL difference in hover is above 62 dB at an altitude of 500 ft (152.4 m), which is the UAM aircraft noise guideline suggested by Uber. Additionally, noise for all overlap cases are compared against various background noise levels. Results show that noise from the side-by-side rotor could not be fully concealed by the various background noise at an altitude of 500 ft (152.4 m).

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is a technology demonstrator. The hope is that Ingenuity will one day lead to future generations of ever-more capable rotorcraft and other aerial vehicles for Mars exploration and other planetary science missions. This paper builds upon nearly twenty-four years of Mars rotorcraft and planetary aerial vehicle work at NASA Ames Research Center. It is posited that a spectrum of different Mars aerial vehicle mission concepts and capabilities could be developed over the next couple of decades – all of which are now potentially enabled by Ingenuity. A series of technology challenges or problems are also detailed in this paper. These problems are presented as an aid in helping establish a nascent planetary rotorcraft or planetary aerial vehicle research community as well as, maybe, helping realize some of the vehicle/mission concepts discussed in the paper.
Redistributed Allocation for Flight Control Failure on a Coaxial Helicopter
Authors:   Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, McKay Michael ,   US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center, Berger Tom , Gandhi Farhan , Vayalali Praneet , Lopez Mark
Published: September 2022

An elastic blade flight dynamics model for a coaxial helicopter based on the Sikorsky X2 Technology™ Demonstrator is presented and validated with steady trim and frequency response flight test data. A full authority explicit model following control architecture along with weighted pseudoinverse control allocation is implemented for the model in hover and cruise at 180 knots using CONDUIT® in order to stabilize the vehicle and meet a set of stability, handling qualities, and performance requirements. Different fault scenarios are considered including failure of rotor swashplate actuators and tail surface actuators in hover and forward flight, which are compensated for by recalculating the pseudoinverse control mixing accordingly. The approach is shown to maintain aircraft stability through the fault transient and into a new steady trim state for the vehicle. Though the implemented controller is successful in maintaining the aircraft state, different fault cases lead to violations in rotor tip clearance limits, which will require additional effort to account for in flight.
Filologija ne gradi samo na logiki (pogovor s Kajetanom Gantarjem)

Na poti do sem sem razmišljal, kako začeti to srečanje – in bolj sem razmišljal, bolj se mi je zdelo absurdno, da bi uvodoma predstavljal nekoga, ki ga vsi poznate. Pač pa lahko povem anekdoto, za katero mogoče ne veste vsi. V Društvu za antične in humanistične študije smo predlani prišli na idejo, da bi profesorja Gantarja predlagali za neko drugo nagrado, ki je imela med obrazci tudi obrazec za soglasje predlaganega. Naredil sem osnovnošolsko napako ter pisal profesorju, če ga lahko izpolni in podpiše. On pa mi je odpisal, da je nagrad v življenju dobil preveč in da prosi, naj ga ne predlagamo. Eksplicitno izraženi zahtevi se je težko upreti. Smo pa v društvu tudi poznavalci Otona Župančiča, ki je, kot veste, napisal, da gre osel enkrat na led, »baš to je oslovstvo«, in da modrec ve, kako je »danes pal«, jutri bo pa plesal po njem. Ko smo tako profesorja predlagali naslednjič, tokrat za Prešernovo nagrado, ga nismo nič spraševali. Na tem mestu bi se zato rad zahvalil Miljani Cunta s Slovenske matice, ki je vse to koordinirala, in SAZU, ki je predlog takoj podprla; resnično sem vesel, da ob tej priložnosti lahko sediva tukaj.

Published: September 2022

Ayurveda has unique parameters for the assessment of healthy anddiseased. Nidra plays a very crucial role in maintaining the body in healthy condition. Health of a person depends upon the optimum level of doshas and dhatus in the body while the harmonious working of all doshas and dhatus is dependent on the nature of sleep of an individual.Sleeping at proper time (kalashayana) helps to maintain the health by promoting equilibrium of dosha, dhatu while sleeping at improper time (akalashayana) leads to produce unhealthy condition in the body by creating disequilibrium of dosha, dhatu etc. So, a thorough physiological knowledge of kalashayana and akalashayana is very essential to keep the mind and body in healthy conditions and to avoid further diseases. Keywords: Nidra, kalashayana, akalashayana, dosha, dhatu etc.

Authors: Murphy Karrie , Carico Ron , Malhotra Ashim , Khan M.O. Faruk
Published: September 2022

Objectives: To address the impact of instructing medicinal chemistry in an integrated versus stand-alone fashion on three-year average of first-time NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) pass rates of all United States of America Pharmacy programmes.
Methods: A review of each programme’s publicly available curriculum on their official webpage revealed medicinal chemistry as integrated (horizontal or vertical), or standalone course forms. Fisher’s exact and the ANOVA tests were performed to assess the primary outcome and covariates.
Results: Out of a total of 136 eligible programmes, 80 programmes (61.5%) stated that medicinal chemistry content was integrated with other foundational sciences content (‘horizontal integration’), while 38 (29.2%) stated that medicinal chemistry was a standalone course. Medicinal chemistry is integrated with pharmacotherapy courses ('vertically integrated’) in remaining 12 programmes (9.2%).  
Conclusion: A conclusion could not be made regarding the impact of medicinal chemistry instruction on NAPLEX outcome due to other underlying factors; however, this study provided a framework for future research.

Authors: Cheung Nicole C. , Bohan KarenBeth H.
Published: September 2022

Determining the most appropriate journal for manuscript submission for pharmacy and pharmaceutical science researchers can be difficult for young and experienced faculty alike and may be the most crucial step to promote successful publication. Although journals are ranked using traditional citation metrics such as the journal impact factor (JIF) and more novel altmetrics, researchers need to consider and prioritise various factors, such as the journal’s aims and scope, intended audience members, and ease of access to promote readership and further studies. Authors also need to be mindful of predatory journals, realistic expectations for acceptance and rejection, as well as promotion and tenure guidelines. The purpose of this article is to give direction and provide resources for academic pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists around the world on how to select an appropriate journal for their work to promote a successful publication experience.

Los laicos y sus asociaciones en la Sevilla Contemporánea. Modelos de asociacionismo y de ac-ción de los católicos (1868-1936)
Authors: Ruiz Sánchez José-Leonardo
Published: September 2022

El avance de la secularización, que es una de las características propias de la Edad Contemporánea, conllevó la movilización de los católicos, especialmente de los laicos que eran los llamados a tener un mayor protagonismo en esta nueva realidad, siendo más tempranas sus organizaciones en aquellos países en los que también madrugaron las acciones contra la Iglesia. Fue así en Francia desde la propia Revolución de 1789. En España, dado que la radicalidad fue más tardía, la movilización comenzó tras la Revolución “Gloriosa” (1868) momento en el que se constituyeron la Asociación de Católicos y la Juventud Católica. León XIII impulsó para remediar este mal el conocido como movimiento católico, consistente en la puesta en marcha de distintas obras (fomento de la prensa, de los círculos católicos, de los partidos confesionales) en tanto que, años más tarde, Pío XI promovió con el mismo fin a partir de 1922 la Acción Católica. Ambos modelos tuvieron amplia respuesta en la Archidiócesis de Sevilla. El reconocimiento del papel de los laicos en tareas directivas y organizativas hasta entonces sólo reservadas al clero llegaría con claridad ya en el Concilio Vaticano II.

El clero participó en los debates y elaboración de la Constitución de 1837, interviniendo en diferentes cuestiones pero especialmente en los asuntos relacionados con la Iglesia y el “arreglo del clero”. La mayoría de los eclesiásticos presentes en las Cortes constituyentes eran liberales progresistas, algunos de los cuales ya tenían experiencia política previa e, incluso, habían sido perseguidos por Fernando VII. El artículo 23 de la Constitución de 1837 los excluyó del Congreso de los Diputados pero no del Senado, no sin que antes estos eclesiásticos manifestaran con fervor su opinión contraria en los debates parlamentarios.

Taguchi Approach and Multiple Regression Analysis for IDI Engine with RBME Optimization
Authors: Krishna M. Jaya , Naidu A. Lakshumu
Published: September 2022

Diesel engines are suited to human usage. With the trend of Petro diesel running out, experts have been concentrating more on alternative fuels. One such alternative fuel whose fuel characteristics are more similar to diesel is bio-diesel. The majority of researchers came to the conclusion that by using 100% bio-diesel, emissions might be lowered while still retaining efficiency, with a minor increase in NOX emissions relative to diesel fuel. In this study, we looked at adding isopropanol to reduce these NOX emissions. An IDI (Indirect Diesel Injection) single-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine is selected for testing. It is feasible to ascertain the engine characteristics and emissions of fuels like diesel and rice bran methyl ester (RBME) mixed with iso-propanol additive by conducting tests on IDI engines. The goal of the task is to determine the best settings for each answer, analyse the impact of each input component on the response, compare projected values using Taguchi's Additive Law and multiple regression techniques, and determine Confidence Intervals (CI). The regression formulas are derived from multiple regression analysis with a coefficient of regression up to 83% for the responses Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), Brake Thermal Efficiency (BThe), Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Oxygen (O2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), and Smoke. RBME+2% Isopropanol is shown to be the optimum fuel overall based on engine performance and emission characteristics, particularly for EGT, BThe, BSFC, O2, NOX, and Smoke.

Actuaciones de performance de los adolescentes coincidentes con el discurso audiovisual de trap
Authors: Pérez Anzola Yetzabeth
Published: September 2022

Desde un enfoque de investigación cualitativo de diseño hermenéutico, en este artículo se revisa un corpus de diez videoclips de trap (con sus respectivas canciones), género musical que hace alegoría de valores contraculturales vinculados al machismo, la drogadicción y el delito, para analizar su código performativo y determinar que este código coinciden con las actuaciones de performances (comportamientos éticos, estéticos, ideológicos y de desempeño corporal) que un grupo de adolescentes de la ciudad de Barquisimeto (Estado Lara, Venezuela) afirma tener o testimonia haber visto en otros pares durante el desarrollo de una fiesta donde se escuche este estilo musical. Los resultados confirman que el código performativo de los videos coincide con las actuaciones performáticas que ellos exhiben, a través de las cuales se configura una imagen social que se corresponde con la imagen estética y cognitiva que transmite el cantante de trap y la de las mujeres que lo rodean.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la utilización que los grupos diaguitas y españoles hicieron de los caminos que atravesaban la Sierra de Zapata en la provincia de Catamarca (Argentina), mediante la articulación de la evidencia arqueológica con la información obtenida de las fuentes documentales acerca del ‘Gran Alzamiento Diaguita’ (1630-1643). Para ello se elaboró una estrategia metodológica mediante la cual se conjugaron las investigaciones arqueológicas, de gabinete y de campo con el análisis y revisión de los documentos históricos y antecedentes bibliográficos existentes para el área de estudio. Este tipo de integración, para un rango temporal tan coyuntural como fueron las guerras diaguita-calchaquíes, condujo a explorar el uso y resignificación que los grupos aborígenes y europeos hicieron de uno de los principales circuitos internodales de interacción social del centro oeste catamarqueño. Se plantea una continuidad de prácticas que habrían permitido una fluida movilidad a través de este espacio desde momentos prehispánicos tempranos hasta la actualidad.
Entradas y Malocas en el valle de Londres (1591-1611):
Authors: Quiroga Laura
Published: September 2022

El valle de Londres, concebido en el siglo XVI como un territorio de carácter minero, posteriormente se orienta hacia la producción de hilados y tejidos destinados a abastecer el naciente mercado colonial. Con esto se pierden los topónimos propios del espacio minero prehispánico -Quiri quiri y Pacinas- para hacer visibles nuevas denominaciones que enuncian el paisaje de la exacción colonial, basadas en el trabajo de los indios de encomienda. Tomamos como caso de análisis las disputas, conflictos y episodios de resistencia diaguita generados por la instalación del sistema de encomiendas en sus territorios ubicados en el área del valle de Londres y Andalgalá, Gobernación de Tucumán, entre 1591 y 1611. Durante este lapso temporal la resistencia diaguita se narra en términos de episodios frecuentes de resistencia que hacía de las ciudades y los actores visibles del sistema colonial (encomenderos, misioneros y pobleros) el foco de sus luchas.

La valoración de opciones y en gran medida el mercado de derivados financieros requiere de una óptima estimación de la volatilidad, ya que justamente ésta es la variable que se negocia. Se presenta entonces una metodología estadística para la estimación del parámetro de volatilidad para un activo, usando métodos propios del enfoque Bayesiano. Para modelar el comportamiento natural del parámetro que representa la volatilidad en el modelo de Black-Scholes, se utilizan distribuciones de probabilidad de la familia Gama y la distribución Lévy Estándar. Los resultados obtenidos usando la metodología propuesta se contrastan con los obtenidos al estimar el parámetro desde el enfoque clásico donde se implementa el método de la Máxima Verosimilitud y la técnica Boostrap. Se logra evidenciar que el procedimiento de estimación desde el paradigma bayesiano, permitió obtener estimaciones del parámetro de volatilidad más ajustadas y precisas, cuando en la distribución de los retornos se consideran valores extremos. Estas características del estimador permiten que, al evaluar el precio de la opción, al utilizar el modelo de Black-Scholes, sea más próximo a lo que se espera que ocurra en el mercado financiero.
La incidencia intertemporal de los impuestos sobre la distribución del ingreso en Argentina
Authors: Rossignolo Dario
Published: September 2022

El trabajo se propone como objetivo el cálculo del impacto de los tributos sobre la desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso permanente en Argentina. A diferencia de otros estudios anteriores sobre el tema, en donde se efectuaron tanto análisis de incidencia anuales como aproximaciones al ingreso permanente a través del consumo corriente, se adoptará el enfoque intertemporal procurando medir el ingreso por el lado de las fuentes que le dan origen. En comparación con el análisis corriente, el sistema resulta ser menos regresivo, debido a que la menor progresividad de los impuestos directos es más que compensada por la menor regresividad de los tributos indirectos.

El artículo tiene como objetivo equilibrar los desbalances o desequilibrios sectoriales en la producción de bienes y servicios, identificados en la estructura productiva de Cuba, siguiendo una metodología que incluye la modelización matemática. Se diseñan y aplican modelos econométricos y de programación por metas (GP) para evaluar la importancia relativa, estimar y resolver los desequilibrios entre los sectores económicos de destinos intermedio y final de la economía cubana. Lo que posibilita el diseño de políticas públicas enfocadas a la mejora de la complementariedad e integración económica; aspecto relevante en el proceso de actualización del modelo económico y social cubano, refrendado en los documentos gubernamentales que rigen la reforma económica emprendida en 2011. Se aplica la metodología en la provincia de Santiago de Cuba, donde se estimaron desequilibrios sectoriales e identificaron reservas de capacidades productivas de bienes y servicios por 42.500 millones de pesos para equilibrar los desbalances, lo que puede contribuir a la toma de decisiones de inversión en el marco de la estrategia de desarrollo económico y social del país hasta 2030.
In reference to the “second wave” of the Russian avant-garde
Authors: Лазарев С.М.
Published: September 2022

В статье рассмотрены процессы развития советского искусства XX века, развивавшиеся параллельно различным социально-экономическим и историческим событиям. Авангардные традиции, зародившиеся в конце XIX – начале ХХ в., возродились и во второй половине XX столетия, создав так называемую вторую волну русского авангарда, прокатившуюся не только по столичным школам, но и заполонившую собой регионы. Однако именно региональный аспект темы на сегодняшний день остается менее всего изученным. Задача состоит в том, чтобы с наибольшей полнотой изучить проявления художественного авангарда на материале российских регионов, дать им обобщающую оценку, включить творчество региональных авторов в научный и музейный оборот. В этом контексте в статье рассмотрены позиции спикеров, выступавших на Международной научно-практической конференции «Вторая волна русского авангарда: региональные версии», прошедшей в ноябре 2021 года в Екатеринбурге. На основании представленных материалов сделаны выводы о том, что изучение художественного авангарда, особенно в его региональном измерении, необходимо как в плане систематизации знаний о развитии авангардных традиций, так и для формирования целостной картины отечественной художественной культуры ХХ столетия.

The article examines the processes of development of the Soviet art of the twentieth century, which developed in parallel with various socio-economic and historical events. Avant-garde traditions, which originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, were revived in the second half of the 20th century, creating the so-called “second wave of the Russian avant-garde”, which swept not only through the capital's schools, but also flooded the regions. However, it is the “regional aspect” of the topic that remains the least studied today. The task today is to study the manifestations of the artistic avant-garde with the greatest completeness on the material of the Russian regions, to give them a generalizing assessment, to include the work of regional authors in scientific and museum circulation. In this context, the article examines the positions of speakers who spoke at the International Scientific and Practical Conference “The Second wave of the Russian Avant-garde: regional versions” (November 2021, Ekaterinburg). Based on the presented materials, conclusions are drawn that the study of the artistic avant-garde, especially in its regional dimension, is necessary both in terms of systematization of knowledge about the development of avant-garde traditions, and for the formation of a holistic picture of the national artistic culture of the twentieth century.
The fate of the “second avant-garde” in the province: the practice and legacy of Sverdlovsk informal artists of the 1960s – 1980s in the assessments of the professional expert community

В статье рассматривается неофициальное искусство Свердловска 1960–1980-х годов. Уделяется внимание терминологии, в которой описывается это явление, в частности определению «второй авангард». Приводятся оценки творчества художников-неформалов с позиций специалистов-искусствоведов, представителей официального Союза художников и советских властных структур. Характеризуется процесс «освоения» искусства неформалов профессиональной «экспертной» средой: от начальной фиксации этого явления — к признанию его лучших достижений. В исследовании использованы элементы историко-генетического метода и комплекс искусствоведческих методов. Рассмотрение данной проблематики послужит углублению представлений о «втором авангарде» в художественной практике провинции и в исследовательской среде.

The author used elements of the historical-genetic method making possible to trace the historical and cultural transformations that influenced the formation of estimates of the phenomenon under consideration. Also, a complex of art studies methods formed the basis for determining the specifics of the “second avant-garde”.
Persons of the “second wave of Russian avant-garde” in the fine arts of Primorye: Fyodor Morozov
Authors: Левданская Н.А.
Published: September 2022

Для автора статьи тема экспериментальных поисков художников Приморья конца XX – начала XXI в., которые вписываются в рамки второй волны русского авангарда, — главная. В разные годы опубликован ряд статей, защищена кандидатская диссертация, осуществлен ряд выставочных проектов. В данной статье сосредоточено внимание на одном из ярких и своеобразных представителей этого направления — Фёдоре Михайловиче Морозове. В отличие от большинства его сподвижников Морозов на протяжении более полувека твердо придерживается линии авангардных поисков. Он глубоко, как никто другой, изучал мировое изобразительное искусство, увлекаясь творчеством не только самых известных и популярных мастеров живописи, но и тех, кого знают отдельные специалисты и кто, по мнению Морозова, сказал свое оригинальное слово в искусстве, чей опыт должен быть донесен до профессионального сообщества. Этот опыт художник «пропускает» через себя, добавляя в свой творческий багаж новые «краски». Просветительский опыт Фёдора Морозова также достоин рассмотрения.

The topic of experimental searches of Primorye artists of the late 20th — early 21st century, who fit into the framework of the Second Wave of the Russian avant-garde, is the main one for the author of the article. Over the years, the researcher has published a number of articles, defended his Ph.D. thesis, and carried out a number of exhibition projects. This article is dedicated to one of the brightest and original representatives of this trend — Fyodor Morozov. Unlike most of his associates, Morozov for more than half a century firmly adhered to the line of avant-garde searches, deeply, like no one else, studying the world of fine art. He was carried away by the work of not only the most famous and popular masters of painting, but also those who are known by individual experts, those who, according to Morozov, said his original word in art, whose experience should be conveyed to the professional community. Fyodor Morozov deeply reworks this experience, adding new “colours” to his creative baggage. The educational experience of Fyodor Morozov is also worthy of consideration.
