Sedimentary characteristics of baer knolls deposits in the volga river delta
Authors: Lobacheva D. M. , Badyukova E. N. , Makshaev R. R.
Published: April 2024

Baer knolls (BK) are elongated ridges often close to the sub-latitudinal orientation sometimes spatially isometric that are widespread in the entire Northern Caspian Region up to 0 m a.s.l. (the upper limit of the Late Khvalynian sea transgression). The goal of this study was to establish the genesis of BK based on interpretation of textural and lithologic characteristics of sediments and dating the material composing these landforms. Research has led to the following conclusions that BK have been formed during the transition of Late Khvalynian and Early Holocene time. Sediments of BK consists of three lithofacies (LF1, LF2, LF3). Chocolate clay (CC) and Volga alluvium were significant sources of material for knolls formation. Nonetheless, for lithofacies 1, it was also sandy material lying below the CC. The BK material cannot be attributed to the aeolian genesis because of its lithological, faunal and geochemical characteristics. The knolls formed in brackish subaquatic conditions of the lagoon floor, where a low-energy currents occurred due to the descent of Late Khvalynian basin waters through the Manych Strait. Thus, BK are analogues of river bedforms appearing as the result of turbulent flow, like ripples and river dunes, where, in concordance with the accumulation of sandy material and detritus of redeposited shells, clay particles were deposited under the mixing of the brackish water of the lagoon and the fresh water of the rivers flowing into it.

Authors: Lyashchevskaya M. S. , Bazarova V. B. , Makarova T. R.
Published: April 2024

A continuous record of paleogeographic events in south-eastern Primorye has been reconstructed based on the deposits of Gniloe Lake. The lake is located on the northern coast of Nakhodka Bay. Starting from 3240 cal. BP. 5 warming periods were identified: 3240–2500, 1865–1653, 1330–838, 733–624 cal. BP and from the second half of the 17th century to the present; 4 periods of cooling: 2500–1865, 1653–1330, 838–733 and 624–322 cal. BP; 6 wet periods: 3240–2500, 1865–1653, 1479–1330, 1056–838, 733–624 cal. BP and last 280 years; 5 dry periods: 2500–1865, 1653–1479, 1330–1056, 838–733 and 624–210 cal. BP. According to palynological analysis, the expansion of Pinus koraiensis and dark coniferous species occurred during the second phase of the Mid-Subatlantic cooling of 1479–1330 cal. BP. In the last 150 years, the most significant changes have been associated with the anthropogenic transformation of landscapes as a result of urbanization. The area of forests and their species composition have decreased. At present, shrubs have occupied areas of the deforested oak forests. Based on the results of diatom analysis, 7 stages of the development of Gniloe Lake were identified. There was a shallow semi-open lagoon at a sea level 1–1.5 m higher than the present day about 3240 cal. BP. Cooling and decrease in humidity about 2500 cal. BP led to the formation of a slightly saline semi-enclosed lagoon. Shallowing of the lagoon about 2000 cal. BP was due to a decrease in sea level. Finally, the lagoon separated from the sea about 1450 cal. BP. The transformation of the lagoon into a fresh lake occurred around 1080 cal. BP. During the period of cooling 840–733 cal. BP the shallowing of the lake began, which continued in the Little Ice Age. The increase of the lake level associated with moderate warming and an increase in humidity began at 210 cal. BP. Traces of three catastrophic events were recorded in the sediments of Gniloe Lake – a high-intensity storm about 3000 cal. BP and 2 tsunamis around 2000 and 1560 cal. BP.

Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of studying four sediment sections in the Lower Volga region that containing numerous traces of cryogenesis in Late Pleistocene subaerial deposits, represented by thin vertical wedges in loess and soils, involutions and wedges in alluvial deposits. In order to establish the stages of development and the boundaries of permafrost in the southeast of the East European Plain, morphology of cryogenic structures, morphoscopy and micromorphology of quartz grains were established, the coefficient of cryogenic contrast were calculated, and also absolute dating of deposits was performed. Five stages of cryogenesis development in the Late Pleistocene, which differed in type, scale of distribution, and conditions for the formation of cryogenic structures were established on the studied territory. The processes of cryogenic transformation of sediments occurred due to both seasonal freezing and the long-term development of a perennial permafrost zone. This determined the composition, structure and properties of loess-paleosol sequences and alluvial layers. The results obtained significantly refine the current understanding of the conditions for the formation of the Atelian deposits in the Lower Volga Region and the distribution of permafrost zone in the south of the East European Plain in the Late Pleistocene.

Published: April 2024

A large amount of data on geological structure, quaternary deposits and bottom sediments of Lake Ladoga was obtained during the last 70 years. Meanwhile, bottom geomorphology of the lake is poorly studied. In most of cases geomorphological description includes only short morphometric characteristics and large-scale bottom elements description. In the present study new materials on Lake Ladoga bottom geomorphology is presented. Ultrahigh-resolution seismic data of 2014 and 2015 expeditions on research vessel “Ekolog” (Organizers: Saint-Petersburg State University, Marine Research Center of MSU, and Karelian Scientific Center of RAS), as well as digital bathymetric model of the basin, developed in the Institute of Limnology of SPB FRC RAS were used as original data. As a result of geomorphological interpretation 6 geomorphological genetic types were characterized: denudative constructive, erosional subequal, lacustrine, glacial, fluvioglacial marginal, and glacial lacustrine. Meso- and macroscale forms such as plains, ridges, hollows, valleys were distinguished. Signs of neotectonic movements north of Vallaam archipelago were approved. Terminal glacial landforms produced during the Neva stage of the Ostashkov glaciation were traced in the central part of the lake. Conditions and forms of the postglacial landscape development were characterized. These data were used to construct 1:1 000 000 scale geomorphological scheme applying the morphogenetic approach of analytical geomorphological mapping.

Published: April 2024

The article discusses the first results of studying the structure of the bottom topography and bottom sediments of Chukhlomskoe Lake (Kostroma Region, Chukhlomsky District). We analyzed the lake bottom topography based on the results of our bathymetric survey and discovered two hollows with maximum depths diverging from the lake’s center towards the city of Chukhloma. The maximum depth inside the hollows (and for the entire lake) reaches 5.4 m, and the average lake depth is 2.2 m. There are two steps seen in the bottom topography; 2.0–2.4 m and 1.5–1.8 m. The bottom sediment structure of Chukhlomskoe Lake was revealed by drilling from the ice with two boreholes (with lengths of 9.45 and 7.45 m, located in the area of background depths and inside the hollow, respectively). Five radiocarbon AMS dates were obtained for the core from the hollow’s bottom. The sedimentary sequences of the pre-Holocene part of both cores show high similarity in structure and depths of the marker horizons identified by a set of lithological analyses. The structure and thickness of Holocene sediments differ significantly. In the area of background depths, the Holocene organo-mineralogenic silt is 3.8 m, and inside the hollow, the thickness of this layer is only 1.45 m. Moreover, hiatuses in sedimentation were documented in the structure of the Holocene sediment inside the hollow. The age of hiatuses, based on the sedimentary model, was estimated as 10.6–5.3 and 4.9–0.06 thousand years ago. A probable mechanism for the origin of hollows is localized erosion caused by wind currents in a highly shallow lake. An additional erosion factor can be the degassing of bottom sediments, which leads to the loosening of the bottom layer of sediments, which makes them susceptible to erosion. The cutoff of sediment erosion inside the hollow coincided in time with the construction of a dam on the Veksa River and a rise in the lake level by 1.0–1.5 m in the 1960s.
Sediment Record of the Earliest Stage of the Evolution of Lake Kanozero (Sw Kola Peninsula): New Data for Regional Deglaciation Reconstructions and Relative Sea-Level Studies

Published: April 2024

The multi-proxy study of the lowermost part of the sediment sequence of Lake Kanozero (south-western part of the Kola Peninsula, ca. 53 m a.s.l.) revealed the evidences for marine waters penetration into the basin during the earliest stage of its evolution. The diatom analysis inferred the conditions of a large brackish-water basin. Sediments composition and very low organic content also supported large-basin and low-productivity environments. Based on the pollen study, this stage covers a cooling period preceding the Allerød (tentatively assigned to the Older Dryas) and the onset of the Allerød. Periglacial vegetation typical of the cold and dry climate prevailed in the area for the most of the period. The subsequent transition to the freshwater conditions inferred from the diatom study took place in the Allerød, according to the pollen data. Except for a minor decrease in the fine sand fraction, no other corresponding changes were observed in the sediment record suggesting no major shifts in sedimentary environments. In the late Allerød and throughout the Younger Dryas, Lake Kanozero remained a large, low-productive freshwater basin. Our results indicate that ice-free conditions with aquatic sedimentation in the Kanozero depression had already existed in the Older Dryas. This assumes earlier deglaciation of the study area than it was previously thought. The study also suggests that brackish conditions in the White Sea basin established earlier than reported before. While the previous studies found no signals of marine transgression above ca. 41 m a.s.l., our results indicate that the local marine limit in the study area exceeds ca. 53 m a.s.l.

Since 2014, the joint research team from the Institute of Earth Sciences, Northern Water Problems Institute KRC RAS, the Science Park of Moscow State University, as well as FSBI “VNIIOkeangeologia”, and Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia has begun a study of Quaternary deposits of Onega and Ladoga Lakes, the largest Russian lakes located on the eastern periphery of the Baltic crystalline shield. Using large volume of data collected in previous studies, and new data obtained by multichannel seismoacoustic profiling and heavy gravity corers, as well as new methods for core analysis the main attention was paid to the geological development of these lakes in the Late Pleistocene-Holocene. The study of the lake Quaternary deposits makes it possible to accurately understand the dynamics of the Scandinavian Ice Shield retreat from the North-Western territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the major influence of the glaciers on the lakes formation during its degradation makes it possible to draw regional paleogeographic correlations, starting from the Baltic and ending with the White Sea. The history of the lake basins formation is also of considerable interest, given that there are practically no Phanerozoic deposits. The geological section of the lakes is represented by both Archean-Proterozoic and Quaternary formations.The article discusses the analysis of new data obtained using multichannel seismoacoustic profiling and long sediment cores (Lake Onega), results of mathematical modeling of cycles of lake basins development (glacial, glacial-lake, lacustrine), and their correlation with the paleogeographic development of the White Sea.

Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of a multiproxy study of a sedimentary sequence located on the lacustrine-alluvial plain west of Lake Nero (Yaroslavl region). The investigated 2 m-long core made it possible to reconstruct environmental changes since the Allerød to the Late Holocene. Previously poorly studied Preboreal deposits in this area have a significant thickness in the core (0.4 m). The obtained materials help fill the gap in understanding of the vegetation history in the Rostov lowland at the turn of the Late Glacial and Holocene and during the Early Holocene. The study is based on several paleogeographic methods: spore-pollen analysis, botanical composition analysis of peat, diatom analysis, loss-on-ignition, and radiocarbon dating. It was found that after 14.3 cal. ka BP sparse spruce-birch forests were widespread, open spaces were occupied by herbaceous communities. Since 13.7 cal. ka BP, as a result of a significant cooling, the open areas expanded, sparse birch forests dominated in combination with steppe and tundra associations. About 12.1 cal. ka BP a lowland reed wetland began to form at the site. It transformed into a reed-sedge wetland after 10.9 cal. ka BP. During the interval of 12.1–11.5 cal. ka BP, the landscapes of the periglacial forest-steppe were gradually replaced by pine-birch forests. The climate was colder than today, but with the tendency to warming compared to the Late Glacial stage. Short-term cooling 11.5–11.2 cal. ka BP led to a new expansion of open herbaceous communities, but the spread of forests continued after 11.2 cal. ka BP. Starting from 9.8 cal. ka BP, the role of broadleaf species increased in the woods; mixed pine-birch forests with oak, elm, and linden dominated in the surrounding area. In the interval 7.9–5.2 cal. ka BP, climate conditions were warmer than modern ones. This led to the spread of spruce-pine forests with birch and thermophilous deciduous trees. After 5.2 cal. ka BP the vegetation cover was dominated by spruce forests with pine, birch, and broadleaf species.
LATE GLACIAL PALAEOENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROGLACIAL LAKES ON THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE SAMBIAN (KALININGRAD) PENINSULA1

Comprehensive investigations of the northern coast of the Sambian (Kaliningrad) Peninsula, that included geomorphological survey, lithostratigraphic description of the section logs, diatom, botanical and LOI analyses, radiocarbon dating, and GNSS survey relating lithological boundaries and sampling levels to the sea level and determining terrace elevations, were performed. New data on the regional palaeogeographic settings of the Late Glacial period and the stages of development of the large proglacial basin, the Baltic Ice Lake (BIL) were obtained. It has been established that after the degradation of the last glaciation, erosional (subaquatic) processes prevailed in the coastal area, while in the interval of 14–13 cal kyr BP subaerial conditions established at the study site, and tree-moss phytocenoses formed during the Allerød warming. At the end of the warming period there was a shallow, isolated lake, with decreasing depth. During the Younger Dryas oscillation, ca. 12 000 cal kyr BP, the area was flooded by waters of a vast freshwater, ultra-oligotrophic basin with high content of suspended fine mineral particles. The conditions of a shallow bay of the BIL sheltered from the main basin by a moraine ridge at least 4–5 m high, are suggested for this period. The lake drainage took place around 11 660 cal kyr BP. Since then, no accumulation or alternating accumulation and erosion conditions prevailed in the study site until the late Holocene. The obtained results allow us to speak about two stages of flooding of the northern coast of the Sambia Peninsula during the Late Glacial, possibly caused by the BIL transgressions. The occurrence of BIL deposits in the northern part of the Sambia Peninsula above sea level suggests that the Late Glacial basin level in the study area may have exceeded the present sea level.

TRANSLATION IN THE FACE OF CENSORSHIP AND SELFCENSORSHIP – THREE CASE STUDIES IN ALBANIAN TRANSLATIONS OF KEY TEXTS
Authors: Osja Vjollca , Krasniqi Gazmend
Published: April 2024

: In this paper, we highlight some problems of literary translation in
Albanian culture by examining the relationship between the source text and the
translation context, as well as the influence of the cultural and ideo-political
context on the phenomena of censorship and self-censorship during the
translation process. As paradigms of these problems, we considered the Albanian
translations of "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes (Part One); "Les
Miserables" by Victor Hugo and "Love in the Time of Cholera" (translation and
retranslation) by Gabriel García Márquez, which we view as typical examples of
these flagrant shifts. Through the comparative approach of the works translated
into Albanian with the source texts, as well as the translation and retranslation
of the same work, but in different ideological and cultural periods (one in the
period of communism and the other, the retranslation, in the period of
democracy), we have identified concrete examples of deviations and
deformations that the source text suffered during translation. We have analyzed
the nature and reasons that led to these deviations or deformations of these
translations, by giving our opinion for each case, as well. From the analysis, it
turns out that the processes of censorship and self-censorship were enforced by
two factors: the socio-cultural context, the horizon of the reader’s expectations
of the time (the case of “Don Quixote”) and the ideo-political constraints (the
cases of “Les Miserables” and “Love in the Times of Cholera”.)
RESPONDING TO INDIRECT SPEECH ACTS IN PATRICK WHITE’S NOVEL THE AUNT’S STORY
Authors: Shuliak Iryna , Yarema Oksana
Published: April 2024

This article adopts a cognitive-linguistic perspective on
communication through indirect speech acts in Patrick White’s novel, “The
Aunt’s Story.” We employ the notion of indirect speech acts as a tool for
analyzing listener responses in indirect communication events. The responses to
indirect speech act coordinate communication, providing a conceptually unified
understanding or misunderstanding of the indirect utterance. The methods
applied here include targeted sampling, contextual interpretation, quantitative
analysis, and descriptive methods. The objectives are as follows: 1) to investigate
how listener responses to indirect speech acts differ in terms of types and
functions they perform in conversation; 2) to highlight that listener responses to
indirect speech acts construct and coordinate different types of communication
in the speaker’s dialogues; 3) to specify the predominant type of indirect speech
act communication by analyzing listener responses in Patrick White’s novel,
“The Aunt’s Story.” This paper examines how listeners' responses to indirect
speech acts contribute to cooperative and uncooperative communication. The
study demonstrates that proper listener responses to indirect speech acts mostly
lead to successful types of indirect communication in Patrick White’s novel,
“The Aunt’s Story.”

DŽONOTAN ODEL: AMERIČKI REVOLUCIONARNI RAT IZ PERSPEKTIVNE LOJALISTE
Authors: Janjatović Violeta
Published: April 2024

Kako je to istorija više puta dokazala, oni književnici koji su u ratu
bivali na strani gubitnika retko kada su mogli da se nadaju mestu u zvaničnom
književnom kanonu. To je potvrđeno i na primeru više autora koji su se u periodu
Američkog revolucionarnog rata borili na strani lojalista i bili i ostali verni
kraljevi podanici. Jedan od književnika koji se po završetku rata našao na
marginama društva bio je Džonatan Odel. Prvi sekretar provincije Novi
Brunsvik, sveštenik i borac za prava lojalista u Američkom revolucionarnom
ratu, bio je čovek koji se svojim mislima i postupcima nikako nije mogao
sagledati van vremena i mesta u kojem je živeo. Ovaj rad istražuje Odelov život
i delo, kao i blisku saradnju sa predstavnicima lojalista u Filadelfiji i Njujorku
kroz kulturno-istorijski kontekst koji i daje energiju njegovoj pisanoj reči. Neke
od najznačajnijih satira koje su predmet istraživanja ovog rada otkrivaju
Američki revolucionarni rat iz perspektive lojalista koji su se našli usred
konflikta koji nikada nisu tražili. Ove satire su poslužile kao moćno oružje za
napad na pobunjenike, ali i na Kontinentalni kongres, koji Odel smatra
najodgovornijim za početak pobune. Odel u njima s jedne strane bez milosti
ismeva neke od vođa i pisaca patriotskog pokreta, dok s druge ima puno
poverenje u ishod rata i pobedu lojalista.
RECONSTRUCTING GOETE’S PERCEPTION OF SUFFERING PAIN, OLD AGE, AND LIFE CRISIS IN MARTIN WALSER’S A MAN IN LOVE
Authors: Osmanović Sabina
Published: April 2024

This article analyzes Martin Walser's A Man in Love (2008), focusing
on its exploration of pain, old age, relationship antagonisms, and end-life crisis.
Through a close reading of the novel, this article critically evaluates whether the
text can be categorized as a work centered on an end-of-life crisis. Walser depicts
the suffering of the ageing Goethe and his last significant experience of love. He
is not interested in a meticulous description of the historical figure of Goethe.
Instead, he describes suffering and despair in all its facets. The question that
arises is: How does one deal with physical decline, pain, and rejection in this
phase of life? The ageing Goethe tries to shape his life again, even in his perhaps
most difficult moment. Pessimistic and doubtful, he turns to his pen. Ultimately,
he discovers a sense of purpose and a positive trajectory for his destiny,
channelling his reflections into artistic creativity. This analysis aims to shed light
on Walser's thematic exploration and contribute to the broader understanding of
literature's portrayal of the human condition.

The research focuses on examining the impact of technological defects, specifically "dry-spot" and "wrinkles," on the mechanical behavior and buckling resistance of structural composites. The investigation of the buckling phenomenon was carried out through a compression test on a thin plate fabricated from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate. This test was performed using a specialized fixture designed in accordance with ASTM 3410 standard. For the analysis, the study employed a three-dimensional digital optical system, Vic-3D, in conjunction with the AMSY-6 acoustic emission system. The research showcases findings from acoustic emission signals that verify the shear-based mechanism of buckling in plates constructed from CFRP featuring "dry-spot" type defects. In the case of "wrinkles" defects, it was observed that transverse shear transpires at the stress concentration points created by the "excess" layers.

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is the type of pain that healthcare professionals frequently encounter. Health care students’ attitudes towards pain management are not sufficient and this negatively affects their chronic pain management. When students cannot manage the chronic pain they will experience professional burnout, depersonalization, and a decrease in compassion and empathy in patient care. Therefore, the first step in improving health care students’ attitudes towards patients with chronic pain is to determine their attitudes. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Scale for Healthcare Professionals’ Attitudes towards Patients with Chronic Pain (HCPAPCP Scale) in healthcare students. METHOD: This quantitative study was conducted with 205 health care students in January-February 2022. Data were collected online with Personal Information Form and the HCPAPCP Scale. To determine the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and test-retest, and for construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. RESULTS: The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the two-factor scale consisting of 18 items, the factor structure, and the distribution of factors in items were the same as the findings of the original scale. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was 0.88 for the first factor and 0.74 for the second factor. Test-retest reliability was 0.60. In confirmatory factor analysis, the model had a good and acceptable fit. CONCLUSION: We found that the HCPAPCP Scale was valid and reliable in healthcare students.
Decolonization of society: the Ukrainian turn
Authors: Gerchanivska Polina
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to understand the process of decolonisation in independent Ukraine as a socio-cultural phenomenon in the context of strategic problems of modern state policy. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of historical and cultural analysis. The methodological core of the study is a comparative analysis of the process of decolonisation at different stages of its development. The scientific novelty consists in the conceptualisation of the process of decolonisation in Ukraine. The immanent essence of the phenomenon of decolonisation and the algorithm of its development are revealed, and the periodisation of this process is introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The phenomenon of decolonisation in the chronotype is analysed. Firstly, it was found that the absence of an effective strategy for decolonisation policy at the first stage of the process significantly hindered the consolidation of Ukrainian society and the formation of Ukrainian identity. Secondly, as a result of the unclear tactics of decolonisation, certain difficulties (organisational and economic) arose in the practical implementation of decommunisation laws. Thirdly, because of the hostilities in Ukraine, public attention is focused on the strategy and tactics for the protection of national monuments, World Heritage sites, and their territories in the event of a threat of destruction or damage.
Research and education strategies as a factor of cultural innovation: experience of the United Kingdom
Authors: Ovcharuk Olga
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of research and educational strategies as factors of cultural innovation by analysing the practical experience of research and educational institutions of the United Kingdom. The methodology of the study is to use a systematic approach to determine the systemic vision of cultural innovation by different institutions of the United Kingdom. The main research methods are: comparative method – for a comparative analysis of institutional development approaches, concepts of research projects and educational programmes; structural and typological method – to identify the features of the institutional system and identify its typological features; method of semiotic analysis – to interpret the content of cultural projects and art educational programmes as sign systems in the cultural space; method of theoretical generalisation – to summarise the research results. The scientific novelty lies in the generalisation of the experience of government institutions (Ministry of Culture, Media and Sport, Arts Council England), research institutions (Research and Innovation, Arts and Humanities Research Council) and educational institutions (King's College London, Kingston University School of Art, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Lincoln) of the United Kingdom aimed at developing research programmes, projects, determining their priorities and funding conditions as substantive components of promising research. Conclusions. The strategic priorities that ensure the development of cultural innovations are research and development of the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence, immersive technologies in art, virtual, augmented and mixed reality, digital culture, and integration of their results in the cultural industries. Educational strategies are characterised by interdisciplinarity, focus on digital humanities, visual arts, media, and creative industries. This makes it possible to overcome traditional disciplinary boundaries, create new specialisations, and use the potential of art to solve complex real-world problems and achieve real socially significant change.
Philosophical henotology: problems and prospects
Authors: Kolesnyk Olena , Stoliar Maryna
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to identify the main obstacles that for a long time have prevented the formation of the philosophy of laughter as a separate direction, as well as the main paradigms of the theoretical understanding of laughter. The methodology of the research is based on the interdisciplinary integration of leading methods of modern cultural studies and philosophy. Based on postmodern practices of intertextuality and deconstruction, in particular the deconstruction of the classical essential philosophy of laughter, the article demonstrates the complementarity and practically equal value of various approaches to the explanation of the phenomenon of laughter. General scientific research methods as analysis and synthesis are also used. The scientific novelty of the work consists in clarifying the methodological foundations of the construction of modern theoretical helotology. Conclusions. The contemporary theory of laughter should be a synthesis of various methodological discourses, based on the concept of heterogeneity of laughter, and the recognition of various “laughs”. In this context, a metamodern cumulative model is adequate: nothing in the history of the study of laughter is “outdated” or “false” – except for the reductionist methodology, which tries to find once and for all a single, forever defined “essence of laughter”. Since, as was shown in the work, laughter is a multifaceted phenomenon, understanding its various forms is a permanent process, and therefore, the topic has unlimited prospects for further research.
Essence and varieties of projects in the sphere of culture
Authors: Komarnitska Olesia
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence and propose varieties of projects in the field of culture, as well as to identify the principal criterion for their division. The research methodology is based on the application of a systemic approach, as well as analytical, synthetic, and cultural methods, which made it possible to comprehensively consider the essence and types of projects in the field of culture and, on this basis, to formulate reasonable conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results consists in clarifying the principal criterion for dividing projects in the field of culture (competition basis and grant funding by state/non-state and other institutions), defining projects in the field of culture as a set of their varieties: socio-cultural (socio-cultural), cultural, artistic projects. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, based on the analysis of numerous interpretations of the concept of "project" and consideration of their most representative examples in the field of culture, the difference between various types of projects in the field of culture was clarified, and the principal criterion for their division was also indicated. It is emphasised that project activity in the field of culture, as a way of organising, identifying and increasing the resource potential of the latter, a means of interaction with authorities, the public and partners, is a specific form of regulation of sociocultural processes. Project activity is increasingly becoming an auxiliary and, at the same time, innovative tool for managing cultural institutions, giving the subjects of cultural activity the opportunity to implement various creative ideas. The implementation of projects in the field of culture on a competitive basis and with the financial support of various grantmakers contributes to the creation of a civilized market of cultural goods and services for citizens of the country and foreign tourists, as well as strengthening the cultural presence of Ukraine abroad.

Authors: Denysiyuk Zhanna
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the specifics of the image of representatives of the Roma community in the fine art of Europe. The contribution of innovative Roma artists, such as Alfred Ullrich, Dan Turner, Delaine Le Bas, Oden Gyudy and others, who paved the way for self-presentation of the Roma people and formed a new image of their community. The role of modern Roma artists in the establishment of Roma identity and the use of new forms of art to convey complex realities of today’s Roma communities has been studied. The article analyses the creative work of leading contemporary Roma artists. In particular, Damian Le Bas, Emilia Rigova, Den Turner, Selma Selman and others, who using the artistic tools, by combining the traditional Roma art with modern techniques, reflect the Roma mentality. The purpose of the article is actualisation of Roma images in the works of art of the late 20th – early 21st centuries. Research methodology. To understand and realise the purpose, the cultural and historical approaches were used, and to study the evolution of Roma artistic images the research methods were used, such as chronological method, art analysis, among others. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that transformation of the presentation of Roma people in the European art of the late 20th – early 21st centuries century was comprehensively investigated for the first time. The contribution of modern Roma artists to the formation of a new image of their community was analysed. The obtained conclusions assume that, based on a number of specific examples, it was established that Roma people at different times, as well as in the modern period, were and are the objects of the increased interest of artists due to peculiarities of their origin and migration within the territory of Europe, as well as the specifics of ethnogenesis, original material and spiritual culture, ethnic unity and stability.
Symbolism in the 19th Century, its Projections on the Age of Psychology of Unconscious and Musical Aspects of That Trend
Authors: Shevchenko Liliya , Kolesnyk Olena
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the research is to identify proto-symbolist features in the legacy of T. Shevchenko, post-symbolist indicators in the 20th century and their musical expression. The methodological basis of the research is the intonation approach in the vision of the genetic unity of music and speech principles in the development of the concepts of B. Asafiev and B. Yavorskyi in the works of D. Androsova, O. Markova, I. Podobas, L. Stepanova, L. Shevchenko, with an emphasis on the hermeneutical perspective of this approach. The methods used are analytical and structural, focusing on the musicological specifics of thematic and constructive features of the compositions' presentation, and interspecies stylistic comparative to understand the interactions of artistic, scientific and religious tendencies in the thinking of representatives of proto-symbolism, symbolism as such and post-symbolism. The scientific novelty is the emphasis of the religious and cultural scope of symbolism, in which the artistic components are subject to the general cultural requirements of creativity, given the mystical charge of expressiveness derived from icon painting and old church music, which nourished the beginnings of this trend not from the capital formations, but from those that met the needs of the religious community of the state and the nation. In this regard, the centring of symbolism in Ukraine around Odesa, which in the 19th century was the imperial centre of publishing spiritual literature, primarily Orthodox, is organic. Conclusions. Symbolism appears in art in the phenomena of proto-symbolism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is expressed in its methodological independence in the second half of the 19th and early 20th century, demonstrating post-symbolist manifestations in both modern avant-garde and traditionalism, as demonstrated in Ukraine by the compositions of B. Liatoshynskyi and V. Kosenko, for whom, like for many prominent artists, the appeal to the symbolist origins was not only a conscious act, but also a subconscious appeal in search of metaphorical saturation of artistic expression, which provokes the creation of symbolist "supercomplex" metaphorical images.
