The Antifascist Politics of Absolutely Inoperative Gestures: From Adorno To Agamben To the Marx Brothers
Authors: Lewis Tyson E.
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This essay turns to Giorgio Agamben and Theodor Adorno to understand the antifascist politics of gestural loss. Adorno offers a historical materialist framework for grounding this loss in the rise and fall of the bourgeoisie while Agamben offers a political response to this crisis of the gesture. This essay focuses on one gesture in particular—tact— in order to illustrate a series of dialectical turns that lead from tactful tact to tactless tact to tactful tactlessness. While these versions all lead to dead ends—culminating in either the reification of the culture industry or the domination of the fascist agitator—Agamben offers a paradoxical alternative: tactless tactlessness as the absolute inoperativity of tact. This final gesture is exemplified in visual comedy and in particular the Marx Brothers' work, which demonstrates its potentially antifascist possibilities.
Deconstructing the Distinction Between Religious Experience and Psychopathology
Authors: Rashed Mohammed Abouelleil
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Debates on the distinction between religious experience and mental disorder tend to assume, rather than argue for, the existence of unique types of experience: the religious and the psychopathological. This paper interrogates this approach to the problem. It deconstructs the distinction by examining what the distinction is about beyond the terms in which it is presented and whether it matters who is trying to make it. A key idea is that one’s standpoint in the debate—that is, whether one adopts a religious or a secular standpoint—determines what they can say about the distinction. This leads to the central argument of the first part of the paper: The distinction between religious experience and mental disorder can only be invoked from a secular standpoint but can only be clarified from a religious standpoint. In other words, if you have the grounds to invoke it, you cannot have the tools to clarify it; and if you have the tools to clarify it, you do not have the grounds to invoke it. In the second part, the paper follows through the implications, from a secular standpoint, of accepting this argument. It appeals to the politics of difference and to mental health activism to argue against the binary view whereby mental distress is either illness and incapacity or a path to purpose and identity.
Hermeneutical Injustice in the Attribution of Psychotic Symptoms with Religious Content
Authors: Porcher José Eduardo
Published: September 2024

Abstract: In this paper, I argue that a special kind of hermeneutical injustice occurs when someone is not permitted to interpret their experiences in a meaning-making way. I suggest that this occurs in certain cases where the possibility that the patient has a genuine religious experience is excluded by a medical diagnosis. In such cases, it is not that an experience is incomprehensible because of the absence of a valid interpretation. Instead, one perspective is not only dominant but exclusive, so the ensuing power imbalance is absolute. I begin by introducing the notion of hermeneutical injustice and subsequent refinements that have been instrumental in applying it to psychiatry. Then I show how even though voice-hearers are liable to be victims of such injustices, the literature has neglected the specific harm done to someone whose interpretation of their own experience is obliterated because of the dominance of exclusive medical views. To illustrate this, I point to a case that evinces the harms perpetrated toward patients diagnosed with psychotic symptoms with religious content and argue that depriving persons of meaning-making interpretations of their own experiences constitutes a profound and willful form of hermeneutical injustice. I then gesture toward studies on the religious reframing of anomalous experiences through contact with a normalizing framework. Finally, I pry from a successful case a general directive toward the virtue of hermeneutical justice through the attitudes of respect to first-person authority and the hermeneutical flexibility it embodies.
Outline for an Externalist Psychiatry (1): Or, How to Fully Realize the Biopsychosocial Model
Authors: Ongaro Giulio
Published: September 2024

Abstract: The biopsychosocial (BPS) model in psychiatry has come under fire for being too vague to be of any practical use in the clinic. For many, its central flaw consists in lack of scientific validity and philosophical coherence: the model never specified how biological, psychological and social factors causally integrate with one another. Recently, advances in the cognitive sciences have made great strides towards meeting this very ‘integration challenge.’ The paper begins by illustrating how enactivist and predictive processing frameworks propose converging accounts of biopsychosocial integration that are far superior to those of previous theories. It argues, however, that the main problem of implementing the BPS model has less to do with integration than with the lack of a social etiology. Psychiatric practice leans heavily towards ‘bio’ and ‘psycho’ approaches, without an equally developed set of explanatory and therapeutic resources for dealing with the ‘social’ dimension of illness. This leaves psychiatry essentially internalist in orientation. As illustrated most poignantly by conditions such as functional neurological disorders, internalism comes with the risks of stigma and the curtailment of therapeutic possibilities. The paper argues that the answer to the failings of the BPS model lies in combining the integration challenge with the development of an ‘externalist psychiatry,’ which casts both causes and treatment of psychiatric illness onto the social environment. The following two papers explore the conditions that might make this idea a reality.
Outline for an Externalist Psychiatry (2): An Anthropological Detour
Authors: Ongaro Giulio
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Philosophical speculation about how psychiatric externalism might function in practice has yet to fully consider the multitude of externalist psychiatric systems that exist beyond the bounds of modern psychiatry. Believing that anthropology can inform philosophical debate on the matter, the paper illustrates one such case. The discussion is based on 19 months of first-hand ethnographic fieldwork among Akha, a group of swidden farmers living in highland Laos and neighboring borderlands. First, the paper describes the Akha set of medicinal, ritual, and shamanic practices, analyzing issues of stigma and medical pluralism within it. Second, it makes the case that the Akha realize a functioning biopsychosocial system which comes with a well-developed set of resources for treating the social dimension of illness. Externalism among the Akha re-frames psychiatric illness as a ‘problem in living,’ which becomes manageable as such. The paper claims that, in so doing, the Akha system succeeds in many of the areas where modern internalist psychiatry falls short, and that it does so because Akha society is structured in such a way so that its practitioners can shift the social environment around the patient. As a takeaway for philosophers, it suggests that the development of an externalist psychiatry must begin from questioning the accepted ontology of the social causes of psychiatric illness.

Authors: Suárez-Amaya Wendolin Margarita , Galdame Cancino Eduardo Alonso , González Ramírez Benjamín Javier , Maldonado Corrotea Martín Ignacio
Published: September 2024

Introduction/Objective: Employee engagement is a complex and multifaceted concept that integrates dimensions such as commitment, motivation, and the emotional connection an employee develops with their work and organization. This study aims to explore the trends and factors influencing employee engagement in the current context Methodology: A systematic mapping was conducted in the Scopus database to identify and analyse empirical and review studies related to employee engagement. The literature search focused on studies published between 2018 and 2022, with 308 documents used for the study. Rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, based on predefined parameters, were applied to ensure the relevance and quality of the selected studies. Results: The bibliometric analysis reveals a growing interest in research on employee engagement, with notable scientific production in various countries and key authors in the field. Factors such as organizational support, job satisfaction, and work-life balance have been identified as significant influences on employee engagement. Additionally, the evolution of engagement has highlighted its importance in human resource management and organizational culture, as well as the influence of technology and work flexibility in its modern definition. Conclusions: Employee engagement in the modern era transcends limited views to individual roles or economic benefits, encompassing elements that form an enriching work experience aligned with a collective purpose. This holistic approach is crucial for driving productivity, innovation, and talent retention in a competitive market, laying the foundations for an agile and future-ready organizational culture. Future research should further explore the dimensions of engagement and its impact on organizational performance.
Desvelando el espacio político. Tipos de apropiación del espacio público como políticas activas
Authors: Cristiá Felix Alejandro
Published: September 2024

Esta investigación aborda la validez del espacio público como auspiciador de la participación política, centrándose en las diversas formas de apropiación del espacio que pueden fomentar dicha participación. El objetivo principal consiste en demostrar las posibilidades de acción política de las y los ciudadanos al expresar su desacuerdo a través de distintos procesos de apropiación del espacio público: la apropiación por dominación, por rebelión, la apropiación vandálica y artística. Se sostiene que la legitimidad de un sistema de gobierno puede cuestionarse o debilitarse según la actuación pública del cuerpo ciudadano contra el Estado o la entidad que ejerce la soberanía sobre el espacio. El análisis se llevará a cabo desde la filosofía política de la vertiente disociativa y el realismo político a través de los conceptos de conflicto, soberanía y desacuerdo.
Metafísica del exterminio: consideraciones decoloniales en torno a la crítica de Theodor W. Adorno de la identidad y la construcción abyecta de la alteridad
Authors: Fallas Vargas Fabrizio
Published: September 2024

La modificación de la dialéctica que propone el planteamiento de Adorno despliega una crítica inmanente del principio identificatorio que emerge del conflicto entre componente somático y concepto, entre lo idéntico y lo no idéntico. Ello resulta fundamental para comprender la dominación como segunda naturaleza en las formaciones económico-sociales modernas/coloniales. En este trabajo proponemos, en primer lugar, examinar críticamente las relaciones de alteridad que estructuran la experiencia de lo político al interior de la modernidad/colonialidad, y la configuración de la subjetividad en términos sociohistóricos. En segundo lugar, se explora, desde un abordaje decolonial del horizonte analítico de Adorno, la constelación de mecanismos ideológicos vinculados al principio identitario que se condensa en la alteridad colonial, y que, como exponemos en este análisis, convergen finalmente en una metafísica del exterminio, en donde lo particular resulta subsumido por lo universal, y, que se efectualiza como una matriz de dominación en la que se articulan la experiencia de lo abyecto y los procesos de estereotipia que vertebran la construcción simbólica y racial de América.
Para una historia in-finita de la naturaleza en el pensamiento-en-imagen de Paul Klee. A partir de una interpretación de los parágrafos 76 y 77 de la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar de Kant
Authors: Martínez Sergio
Published: September 2024

En este trabajo busco aproximarme a una historia in-finita de la naturaleza en el pensamiento-en-imagen de Paul Klee a partir de una interpretación de los parágrafos 76 y 77 de la Crítica de la facultad de Juzgar de Kant. Para su lectura, propongo considerar como contrapunto uno de los principios del entendimiento puro que Kant considera en la Crítica de la razón pura, este es: el principio de las anticipaciones de la percepción. A saber, el principio que explica la condición de toda sensación. Para preguntar por una historia in-finita de la naturaleza es fundamental atender a la diferencia implicada en la relación entre naturaleza y arte que advierte Klee. Dicha diferencia conlleva considerar el origen de esta historia como fractura por la atención puesta hacia lo que la diferencia, lo cual exige pensar en lo que denomino un cambiode percepción.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH IN ZLATOUST AT THE TURN OF THE 19-th AND 20-th CENTURIES: POPULATION AND TERRITORY
Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Andreeva Y. S.
Published: September 2024

The article presents the first comprehensive study of the quantitative indicators that cha racterize the development of the Roman Catholic parish in Zlatoust in the late 19 – early 20-th centuries. Studying Church registration documents of 1899–1916, the author reveals the statistics of the rites performed in the Zlatoust parish, analyzes the dynamics of baptisms, weddings and burials, and estimates the intensity of religious life during this period. The article states that at the turn of the 19–20-th centuries there was a significant transformation of the Catholic parish in Zlatoust, associated with the separation of independent Ufa and Chelyabinsk communities. The author defines the consequences of such a transformation as well as the approximate number of Catholics remaining in the Zlatoust Church, and separately studies the impact of migration processes (including forced migration) on the development of the Zlatoust parish. The article proves that the resettlement boom in the early of 20-th century had relatively little effect on the development of the Zlatoust Catholic community in comparison with the Catholic community of Chelyabinsk. Based on the information about the place of the rites, the article establishes the territorial and administrative boundaries of this parish and the geography of the settlement of Catholics in 1899–1902 (before the separation of the parishes of Zlatoust and Chelyabinsk) and in 1903–1916 (after separation).
VIRTUAL MUSEUMS OF THE SOVIET ATLANTIS
Authors:   Perm State University, Perm, Russian Federation, Yankovskaya G. A.
Published: September 2024

The construction of hydroelectric power plants and reservoirs in different regions and under different historical circumstances raises a number of common problems. It causes landscape and climate changes, flooding of vast territories, irreversible loss of archaeological heritage and historical habitats going underwater. The construction of hydroelectric power plants leads to mass relocations, loss of heritage and identity, as well as destroys ties in traditional communities. The memory of the negative consequences of large infrastructure-related projects is often censored and pushed out of the public space. The article discusses current practices of commemorating the negative effects of Soviet hydropolitics in the format of a virtual museum. The wide availability of digital tools allows non-professional historians, witnesses and their descendants to be included in memorial activities. Internet sites are becoming places of memory and communication for memorial communities. The article considers specific features of the representation of hydraulic engineering issues in the virtual spaces of corporate museums of modern hydraulic corporations, museum sites and virtual projects of memorial initiatives «from below». It also reveals the peculiarities of communicative management, as well as artifacts and collections that can be found on information resources. It focuses mainly on virtual representation of narratives and the formation of memorial communities’ network.
NFT ART: DIALOGUES WITH THE HERITAGE OF AVANT-GARDE AND MODERNISM
Authors:   Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Gavrilin K. N.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the ideological and artistic dialogues of contemporary digital artists with masters of art of past eras, primarily modernism and avant-garde. Despite the widespread opinion that modern digital culture radically breaks and rejects any connection with the artistic tradition, we observe a constant interest in the artistic culture of past periods, its rethinking and interpretation. In our opinion, the dispute between generations, notable even at the initial examination, is not a conflict, but rather a productive dialogue showing the inherent value and selfsufficiency of the latest digital art
SCIENCE FICTION AND DIGITAL ART AS A WAY TO IMAGINE THE FUTURE
Authors:   Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Druzhinina A. A.
Published: September 2024

Science fiction has always been a way of understanding human beings, their future, their possibilities and their limitations. Currently, science fiction is actively expanding its borders, trying to incorporate all aspects of the dynamically changing modern life. The issue is highly relevant due to such circumstances as the increasing role of the Internet and digitalization, the expanding information universe, virtual space, escape from the real world, environmental problems, bio- and nanotechnologies, which entail philosophical and ethical issues and problems of the posthuman and posthumanism. These questions are not only raised in science fiction, but are also widely discussed by artists and designers in their visual works. The artist’s work plays a very important role, as it allows them to «immerse» the viewer in a different world and to try on new roles and a different story. In other words, with the help of the visual matter, the literary matter widens the possibilities of perception and knowledge as such. Visual representation makes it possible to create a complete picture of the world, the civilization and the hero, technologies, and means of interaction, as well as concentrate on certain details or hide and omit others. Frame composition and narrative dynamics directly affect subconscious feelings. Thus, the visual image has a huge influence on the viewer and significantly expands the horizons of the narrative
THE SYSTEM OF RUSSIAN TERRITORIAL SYMBOLS – FROM THE FIRST COATS OF ARMS TO THE TERRITORIAL IDENTITY AND BRANDS OF PLACES
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Maslov M. M.
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on Russian heraldry as a means of visual identification of territories and a prototype of modern territorial identity. Heraldry can be viewed as a model not only from the position of its function, but also from the point of view of its formation. The paper considers specific examples of coats of arms in comparison with the general trends in the development of modern territorial symbolism and graphic design. The term «Russian heraldry» in the context of the study implies all stages of its development: tsarist, imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet. The paper considers modern coats of arms of the Republic of Transnistria, since at all stages (except for the post-Soviet one) this territory was part of the system of Russian territorial symbols. After the collapse of the USSR and gaining independence, Transnistria supports the pro-Russian course which is mainly expressed in its symbolism. They create the replicas of pre-revolutionary coats of arms and use the Soviet coats of arms alongside the new ones, including the coats of arms designed according to the rules of Soviet heraldry. Such turning points in the sphere of visual identifiers as Koehne’s heraldic reform in the 19th century, the introduction of Soviet heraldry, the replica of pre-revolutionary heraldry after the collapse of the USSR require a separate detailed study. Due to the specifics of this article they are considered in a limited way, as the paper aims to identify the relationship between traditional forms of symbolism and modern territorial identity.

Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Bulaeva M. N. , Marfitсyna A. R. ,   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the specifics of a social media project which remains a relevant but littleresearched topic. Emerging as a result of technical and technological transformations in the field of media, media projects are a type of journalistic materials based on unique journalistic content. This content is created using various technological platforms. Socially oriented media projects dedicated to current socially significant issues are of particular importance here. The purpose of this study was to analyse the genre, content and communicative features of the social media project «The Women of Donbass» implemented in 2022–2023. This particular media project was chosen as a focus due to its relevance, novelty, high social significance and demand among the audience. Studying the specifics of social media projects required the use of methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, and comparison. The empirical data of the «Women of Donbass» media project were processed using the method of content analysis. The genre and content features of this media project such as the choice of characters, the nature of the problems covered, the target setting and genre specifics allow us to classify it as a social media project. The analysis of the structure and process of implementing a media project using transmedia storytelling technologies showed that it can be considered as a communication tool.
INDIVIDUATION IN E. G. VODOLAZKIN’S NOVEL «LAVR» (ATTEMPT OF INTERPRETATION IN ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY VIEW)
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Nurgaleeva D. V.
Published: September 2024

The article is dedicated to E. G. Vodolazkin’s novel «Lavr», offering an interpretation of the main character’s journey through the lens of Jungian analytical psychology. His life is examined as a symbolically depicted path of individuation, a journey from the conflict between consciousness and unconsciousness towards wholeness. The four phases of Arseniy’s life, corresponding to the four books within the novel, are compared to the fundamental steps of individuation. The exploration of instinctive drives is presented in «The Book of Knowledge», narrating the tragic demise of Ustina, Arseniy’s concubine, and their illegitimate son due to his actions. The shift of the center of his personality from his ego is the central theme of «The Book of Renunciation», wherein Arseniy transforms into a holy fool. «The Book of Way» and «The Book of Rest» chronicle Arseniy’s pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulcher and his subsequent life, respectively. These stages are intertwined with the introversion of libido and a process of rebirth. Ustina’s labor and Anastasia’s labor are not only associated with the beginning and conclusion of Arseniy’s wanderings but also with the initiation and culmination of his individuation journey. These parallel episodes serve to illustrate the transformation of his mental life.
GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS IN THE USA AS A MIRROR OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SITUATION: THE OLD INDUSTRIAL REGION OF THE GREAT LAKES, 1976–2000
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Sogomonyan Z. A.
Published: September 2024

This article, based on statistical data and other sources, analyzes the results of gubernatorial elections held in the Great Lakes region of the US from 1976 to 2000. This territory is particularly interesting due to the old industrial nature of its economy and the social problems that arose from the partial destruction of traditional manufacturing in the 1960s and 1970s. An analysis of statistical data shows that the labor market situation had a significant influence on the results of gubernatorial elections, while the rise in unemployment noticeably weakened the position of the ruling party, regardless of whether the Democrats or Republicans were in power. A juxtaposition of two noticeably different periods (1976–1989 and 1990–2000) and a comparison between the Great Lakes region and the US as a whole indicates that the electorate in this old industrial region was highly responsive to changes in the economic situation. The database (with further expansions) may be useful for predicting some domestic political trends and the results of statewide elections in the US.
ARCHAIC AND CLASSICIZING TENDENCIES OF THE RUSSIAN PROVINCIAL PORTRAIT
Authors:   Stroganov Russian State University of Design and Applied Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Akilova A. D.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the artistic features of one of the striking phenomena of Russian painting of the XVIII – XIX centuries – the Russian provincial portrait. The purpose of the study is to identify trends in its development, thereby contributing to the definition of the role and place of the provincial portrait in the history of Russian art. Based on the historical-cultural, formalstylistic and iconographic methods of analyzing provincial painting, as well as on the results of restoration and technical and technological research, we propose to identify two trends in provincial portraiture: archaic and classicizing. The archaic trend is based on the iconographicparsunian tradition, which is associated with the system of provincial art education, widespread since the second half of the XVIII century. Nevertheless, the archaic trend continues to exist in the 19th century, developing in parallel with the second trend – the classicizing trend of provincial portrait. The classicizing trend was strongly developed in the first half – middleof the XIX century, which is associated with the educational activities of the artists of the academic school. This trend is focused on metropolitan art, primarily on classicism, but it captures various stylistic trends that existed against the background of classicism, trying on and adapting the latest trends in the provincial environment. The classicizing trend was strongly developed in the first half to the middle of the XIX century, which is associated with the educational activities of the artists of the academic school.
DANCE ART IN THE ARTISTIC DESIGN OF TITLES OF IRANIAN CINEMA
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Soleymanfar Z.
Published: September 2024

Iranian dance is distinguished by a number of specific features, one of which is the graceful movements of the hands, wrists, and legs, combined with lively facial expressions and body positions. The refined, intricate, and flirtatious gestures and symbols of Persian courtiers, solo, improvisational dances, and the spiritual dance of Sufis reflect the richness of Persian culture. After the 1979 revolution, in accordance with the new revolutionary realities, dance in Iran came under restrictions. However, dance art as a pillar of Persian culture remains an important social phenomenon for the nation, transforming and flowing into other types of art. Using the titles of Iranian films created after the 1979 revolution as examples, this paper traces the designers’ appeal to the dance heritage of Iran and reveals the similarity of the design of film credits with the basic elements of choreography, in particular, ballet, theater, and folk dance. The title is considered as a product of complex design (sound design, kinetic typography, animated graphics), whose fundamental elements (composition, color, visual forms of communication) are similar to the basis of choreographic / ballet art (dance movements, costumes, background). When designing film credits, Iranian designers use references to dance movements (circular, spiral, improvisational), movements of hands, legs (arabesque, petit allegro, folk dances of Khorasani, Bakhtiari, Keshmeh kermanji), fingers, hips, neck, and shoulders (urban dance of jakheli). It is revealed that such borrowings simplify for Iranian designers the task of preparing the viewer for the perception of a movie
THE NOISE OF TIME IN LITERARY WORKS DEVOTED TO KOLYMA BY G. G. DEMIDOV
Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Gorbachevsky C. А.
Published: September 2024

This paper focuses on the analysis of Georgiy Demidov’s camp prose. Many camp survivors write about Kolyma penal servitude of the 20th century in different genres (novels, novellas, short stories, essays, tragedies, requiems, notes, diaries, confessions, etc.). Demidov’s vision of the Kolyma world with its specific northern realities is presented in his stories and novels. He focuses on the ritualized camp routine. In the majority of the cited texts, the word ritual, as a set of prison actions, is used mainly in lay and negative senses. Ritual, a constant attribute of prison-camp life in Kolyma, was intended not only to organize and discipline the prisoners but also to intensify the torture of imprisonment. These (anti)social practices resulted in the relatively rapid destruction of the thin film of civilization. Its restoration later becomes an extremely difficult task for both the individual and society as a whole
ON THE PARTICIPATION OF ORENBURG COSSACKS IN THE PUGACHEV REBELLION: HISTORIOGRAPHY AND FOLKLORE
Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Volkov E. V.
Published: September 2024

This article analyzes different interpretations in pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and modern Russian historiography of the degree of the Orenburg Cossacks’ participation in the Pugachev rebellion. The author also explores Cossack folklore in the form of tales and songs, which embodies the images of Pugachev and his supporters and opponents. The focus is on the Chelyabinsk episode of the Pugachev rebellion, in which a significant role was played by the Cossacks who supported Peter the Third. It is emphasized that Pugachev’s power in Chelyabinsk for two months (February–April 1774) was built on Cossack traditions in its forms and functions. These facts give grounds to refute the assertions of some pre-revolutionary authors about insignificant support of Pugachev and his supporters by the Orenburg Cossacks

This article is devoted to the characteristics of the Russian historiographical study of the activities of Russian military aviation during the Russian civil war of 1918–1920. The emphasis is on the Southern Ural area, which, with its industrial potential, was of great interest to the warring parties. The actions of military aviation during the Russian civil war are presented in Russian historiography by a rather narrow circle of historians, who did not set out to show the history of the study of this problem. This article is the first attempt to assess the degree of knowledge of the history of military aviation operations in the Southern Urals. Working with the sources it was possible reveal the problems associated with the organizational and staff structure of aviation units (mainly the white army), logistical aircraft and weapons, the shortage of qualified flight personnel, the combat use of aviation in the climatic conditions of the Southern Urals. This article can be used for students of aviation military educational institutions, as well as for a wide range of researchers

Authors:   Yakovleva Ural State Law University, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Motrevich V. P. , Mamyachenkov V. N. ,   Ural State Economic University, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation
Published: September 2024

This article presents an analysis of livestock and the production of livestock products in the Chelyabinsk region during a dynamic period in the history of the USSR (1954–1964). The novelty of the study is in the wide use of materials from the collections of one of the largest federal archives – the Russian State Archive of Economics (RGAE). Most of these materials have not been studied before. At the beginning of the period, the livestock sector of agriculture in the Chelyabinsk region was in deep crisis. In the 1950s, a number of resolutions were issued by the union authorities which had a positive impact on the development of animal husbandry. However, in the agrarian policy of the party and the government and the tendency to limit individual farms began to manifest itself more and more clearly. The contribution of various categories of farms to the production of livestock products is determined, and as a result of the state’s implementation of its agrarian policy, Soviet farms became its main supplier from the late 1950s. In general, from 1954 to 1964, individual farms in the Chelyabinsk region played a significant role in the production of livestock products, however, during the period under investigation their position waned, being unable to compete with the public sector. The authors conclude that the livestock industry of the Chelyabinsk region, despite a number of objective and subjective obstacles, made a significant step forward in its development.
THE BRITISH HISTORIAN EDWARD CARR: A TRANSFORMATION OF SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS IN RUSSIAN STUDIES
Authors:   South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Parhomenko M. D.
Published: September 2024

This article analyzes the transformation of the scientific interests of the British historian Edward Carr (1892–1982). Some aspects of the historian’s biography, which contributed to this transformation, are analyzed from the perspective of intellectual history. Initially, Carr published biographical works on the history of Russian literature and the revolutionary movement in Russia in the 19th century. However, he then began to work on research in international relations of the first half of the 20th century and on the history of the initial period of the formation and development of Soviet Russia. The main factors that influenced the transformation of Carr’s scientific interests are first, Carr’s study of the Russian language when he worked as a diplomatic official in Riga; second, his interest in Marxist theory and his trips to the USSR (in 1927 and 1937), where this theory was put into practice in some form; thirdly, the Second World War and its consequences and the role of the Soviet Union in this conflict; and finally, the role played by Carr’s social circle, which included people of left-wing views from Russia

This article updates the understanding of the ideological meanings in the art of symbolism, an artistic language which is conditionally symbolic in nature. As the “linguistic” material in symbolism is a system of symbols, with an inherent semantic closure, the article analyzes the method of deep reading and worldview meanings. In connection with the manifestation in modern scientific publications of the fact of semantic inconsistency in the interpretation of the concept of “symbol” and abstraction from its constructive function, it should be emphasized that in this work the “logic of the symbol” by Aleksei Losev is positioned as a theory of symbol, where “symbol" is interpreted as a function and as an artistic method. It is from these terminological and methodological positions that the works of the Russian symbolist artist Nicholas Roerich are examined. To identify the ideological meanings in the artist’s paintings, the article uses hermeneutic logic. Taking into account the nature of the problems considered in the article, where questions about the artistic method (symbol as a function) and the scientific method (hermeneutic logic) are key, this work is of a theoretical, methodological nature
THE BORDER OF LIFE AND DEATH AS THE BASIS OF COLLISIONS IN STORIES ON THE BORDER OF THE 19th AND 20th CENTURIES

This article examines the texts of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Gustav Meyrink, Franz Kafka and Lu Xun, which unfold at the junction of the everyday and mystical, real and infernal. This examination allows us to systematically describe, firstly, the forms and directions of the self-reflection of storytellers who comprehend the border of life and death, and secondly, the ontology that forms the basis of the artistic world of texts from the 1870s to the 1920s. In all four texts, the border of death – a grave or a monument – forms the basis of the chronotope and becomes the soil for the concentration of value experiences that organize the inner world of a person. The article’s starting point is the position that a “cemetery” text inevitably reflects the religious and cosmogonic ideas of the author and contains the coordinates of their world-building. The issues of connection between the hero’s collision with death and the ethical choice the hero makes are covered in detail. Comparative typological analysis allows us to highlight the semantic halo of collisions repeated in texts, including a transition to oneiric space, a test, a chance for correction, and a modeling of an intermediate world in which a person, freed from social obligations and fears, shows the fullness of his “I”, and the sentence passed on him by the author and higher powers

This paper proposes a new understanding of the bearded warrior on the Taman stele as Pericles’ postmortem image in the iconography of his statue by Kresilas. The stylistic difference between the two warriors on the relief is explained by the fact that the master copied the older warrior from an Attic model, and created the younger one entirely himself outside the Athenian sculpture school traditions. The image of Pericles on the stele allows us to reconstruct the lost monument. Based on the similarity of the Apollo Kassel and the facial features of the herm of Pericles in the Vatican and on the similar poses of the Apollo statue and the Pericles image, it is likely that the Apollo Kassel displays another lost work of Kresilas. Apollo stands in almost the same pose as the image of Pericles, differing only in the turn of his head and the mirror composition of his legs. Kresilas reused the position of Apollo’s hands in the Pericles statue, placing the fingers on the shield of Athena Parthenos by Pheidias and the spear of Doryphoros by Polykleitos. With these allusions, he linked key works of pre-war sculpture, creating not only a monument to Pericles, but also a monument to an entire era. Keywords: classical Greek sculpture, Kresilas, Pericles s

In the modern world, along with the global cultural crisis, humanities scholars emphasize the crisis of human identity associated with the destruction of the traditional values. Due to the demand to define identity alongside the active integration of Ural art into the world artistic process, the study of regional landscape schools of the 1960–1970s accumulating philosophical concepts of Russian culture is highly relevant. Landscape schools of the 196–1970s became a precursor of changes in the national art and an incentive to identify the Ural community features in the work of Ural artists in the All-Union art of that time. The article analyzes the development of landscape genre in the works of Ural artists of the 1960–1970s presented in the Ural museum collections. It reveals the style and unique features of the Ural landscape painting. The methodological basis of the article is a comprehensive approach to considering the landscape of the Urals as a holistic, dynamic and evolving phenomenon. The cultural and historical approach makes it possible to interpret the theme of the national Ural landscape and its significant role in shaping the mentality and creativity of Ural artists. Formal and stylistic, iconological, comparative and stylistic methods of art history analysis enable us to find out the stylistic and figurative artistic features of the Ural landscape. The article provides justification and specifies the significance of the landscape genre for the art of the Ural region in the 1960– 1970s. It also highlights its role in the formation of the Ural image in the All-Union artistic process of the time when classic works of new stylistics were created.

The article is devoted to the study of the genre specifics of the works of D. Urushev, who published five works in the genre of “Old Believer fairy tale” in the period from 2017 to 2023. The author’s nomination of the genre determines the features of mythological thinking reflected in the analyzed books. The works of art of D.
