Экспрессивность, представляющая выразительно- изобразительное качество речи, и сторителлинг – информационно-коммуникационная технология, формирующая определенное поведение адресата, используются для оказания воздействия на реципиента. В связи с этим проблема использования экспрессивных единиц в текстах историй представляет собой определенный интерес. Однако, несмотря на большое количество работ, посвященных экспрессивности, способы ее выражения в корпоративном сторителлинге не были предметом специального изучения. Анализ выявил взаимосвязь типа корпоративной истории с языковым уровнем, на котором выражается экспрессивность.
SCREEN FORMS AT BIENNIALS OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, KARTSEVA EKATERINA A.
Published: October 2020

Video today is a popular tool for artists of postmodern, poststructuralist, post-conceptual orientations. These practices have not yet developed their economic model and have spread mainly through biennials and festivals of contemporary art, as the main form of their comprehension and display. At the same time, “video art”, “video installations”, “video sculptures”, “video performances”, “films” at the exhibitions are far from an exhaustive list of strategies, stating a cinematic turn in contemporary art, where videos are considered among the basic tools of a contemporary artist and curator. It gets increasingly difficult to imagine exhibitions that resonate with the public and critics without video. From an avant-garde countercultural practice, video has become the mainstream of contemporary exhibition projects and is presented in exhibitions in many variations. The article analyzes the strategies for including video in the expositions of national pavilions at the 58th Venice Biennale, among which the production of video content in the genre of documentary filming, investigative journalism, artistic mystification, and interactive installation can be distinguished. Artists both create their own content and use footage content from the Internet. The main awards of the Biennale are won by large—scale projects that dialogize fine art with cinema and theater. For the implementation of artistic ideas curators of biennial projects attract professional directors, screenwriters, sound and light specialists. The biennials of contemporary art, by analogy with the term screen culture, can be attributed to the large format in contemporary art. At them, video goes beyond the small screens with the help of full-screen interactive installations, projections on buildings, films timed to exhibitions are broadcast on YouTube and Netflix. As the coronavirus pandemic has shown, the search for new tactics using screen forms is sometimes the only way out for a large exhibition practice in a situation where it is impossible to conduct international projects and comply with new regulations. The Riga Biennale of Contemporary Art, Steirischer herbst in Graz, followed this path. The exhibition is moving closer to film production. New optical and bodily models are being formed. The contemplative essence of art is being replaced by new ways of human perception of information, space and time, built on the convergence of communication means—video, music, dance, the interpenetration of objective and virtual realities.
SOUTH KOREAN TV SERIES IN THE SERVICE OF MUSIC EDUCATION
Authors:   The Far Eastern State Academy of Arts, AIZENSHTADT SERGEI A.
Published: October 2020

In this article we study forms and methods used to popularize western classical music in a South Korean TV series. The main subject of analysis is the TV series Beethoven Virus (2008) devoted to a symphony orchestra in a fictional South Korean city. The main purpose of this TV series is the promotion of classical music, and the author of the article comes to the conclusion that its popularity among Korean audience is explained by its engaging, convincing artistic methods with respect to national cultural specificities, which were used to show the working environment of professional musicians. The series reveals real problems of modern Korean musical culture: “crisis of overproduction” of academic musicians; discrimination of graduates of South Korean musical educational institutions; prejudice that classical music is only for the rich. The author emphasizes that immersion into the atmosphere of professional musical life allows the viewers to apprehend the educational value of the TV series more clearly. Beethoven Virus demonstrates traditional Korean attitude towards European classical music determined by the Confucian roots; and at the same time, it depicts changes in the modern culture conditioned by gradual departure from traditional values. The two main characters — the young and the old conductors — symbolize the old and the new in the Korean musical culture. They interact in a traditional eastern way: the new spirit does not openly conflict with the established convention, but sprouts from it. The author suggests that the music is explained in the film through emotional associations which let the viewers fully perceive the musical idea. The author believes that this method, compared to other ways widespread in the West, corresponds to the nature of the specific sensation of European classical music associated with Confucian cultural roots. An opinion is expressed that methods of music education used in Beethoven Virus were chosen in accordance to the South Korean serial genre traditions: leitmotivs in the soundtrack and gesture clichés are of particular significance here. The author suggests that the South Korean experience of promoting musical classics by means of serial films can be used abroad — given that the differences in mentality and realities of musical life are taken into account.
CINEMA SPACES: AN IMAGINATIVE WORLD OF THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE. REVIEW OF THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE “GEOGRAPHY OF ART”
Authors:   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, MISIS National University of Science and Technology, GITR Film and Television School, LAVRENOVA OLGA A.
Published: October 2020

The international scientific conference “Geography of Art” is devoted to the development of a wide problematic field of interaction between art and geographic space. It traditionally considers not only spacing of artifacts and monuments over the earth’s surface, but also specific features related to the reflection of geographical space in art and creation of fantasy worlds in which the dependence on consistent patterns of the real world formation can easily be traced. The conference has been held since 2009; it was initiated by the geographer Yu.A. Vedenin and carried forward by the philosopher and culture specialist O.A. Lavrenova. In recent years, organizers of this representative forum are the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Arts, Film and Television School (GITR), the Russian State University for the Humanities. In 2020, for the first time the conference was held online. As always, there was discussed the role of territorial factors in formation of art schools and individual works, as well as a creative perception of the cultural landscape, the place of art in the formation of the territory image. An important topic was a concept of space in art works, the possibilities of comprehending, transforming, “reformatting” the space by different art types including screen art, creating in this way the “increment of meaning” of places and regions. Within the framework of this conference there were discussed НАУКА ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИЯ № 16.3, 2020 162 THE ART AND SCIENCE OF TELEVISION historical and cultural features of the national and world cinema, which capture real spaces and create their own modifications. Participants touched upon the topic of traveling in the cinema, virtual representations of cultural landscapes using digital narratives and, accordingly, the possibilities and specific features of the virtual travel. The issue of studying urban spaces by means of cinema was considered in a wide semantic variety—from buffoonery to marginality. A city appears as a universal scenery for a performance while real street loci with their inhabitants become heroes of modern visual media. A separate topic was the discussion of constructed spaces of Korean TV series and their adaptation in Russian culture as a tangible result of the process of intercultural communication. All the above mentioned studies represented by conference participants actually complement each other in terms of understanding the figurative component of the cultural landscape.
THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE PHANTOM. ON NEW SIMULATION METHODS OF THE ALTERNATIVE PAST IN SCREEN CULTURE (based on the series Chernobyl)
Authors:   GITR Film and Television School, POZHAROV ALEKSEY I.
Published: October 2020

The article analyzes the phenomenon of increased interest among the modern mass recipients in cultural artifacts that simulate various models of the phantom past, and in new ways of constructing it. Falsification of history for various purposes has been existing for a long time, but lately, the ways of presenting inaccurate versions of historical events have found a particularly sharp response from the audience. Beginning as conspiratorial literary and journalistic experiments to “rip off the veils”, phantom story models are now most successfully overspread in the form of amateur video content. Modern large-scale filmmaking, following the trend, also increasingly claims the authenticity of the depicted historical periods and events. An example of such approach is the careful study of the nuances of the texture that surrounded the Soviet people in the mid-80s in the series Chernobyl (directed by Johan Renck, USA, UK, 2019), which received a great response in the media space. The slogan of the film is “What is the cost of lies?” and its main message is the claim to the need of revealing the truth to the mass audience. As techniques aimed at creation of the authenticity illusion the series primarily uses the accuracy of details, costumes, make-up, decorations, which scrupulously reconstruct Soviet life in the eighties. The global plot and many subplots also generally correspond to the facts that happened in reality. Another technique of the series being traditional for the mockumentary genre which increases the recipient’s trust in the media product is the shaky camera. Imitation of amateur filming allows achieving a greater effect of involvement of the modern mass audience. Such techniques inspire confidence in the media product, reducing the criticality of its perception as a whole. However, after a detailed examination of the plot moves, it turns out that some of the events reflected in the series are presented perversely and one-sided, while others are in stark contrast to those that actually took place. In addition, the use of other artistic techniques such as, for example, specific color correction, stable cinematic clichés for the heroes’ characteristics, up to the frame structure, allow us to talk about imparting a biased meaning to the events. Thus, responding to the request of the mass audience, the authors create artifacts in which the accuracy in displaying fine details creates a feeling of authenticity, and the biased interpretation of the narrative, which uses specific artistic techniques, makes it possible to broadcast stories that are far from the historical truth. Such approaches make it possible to talk about the formation of new ways of constructing alternative historical models that inspire confidence in the mass audience.
WESTWORLD: FROM EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION OF THE WESTERN
Authors:   Saratov State University, ZORIN ARTEM N.
Published: October 2020

Westworld television series was created in the second half of the 2010s by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan. It has become an important link in the chain of actualizing the western as a genre in its variations against the background of the current social and cultural content. Initially a remake of the 1973 film of the same name directed by Michael Crichton, the series soon evolved: its second season has become a form of comprehension for both the basis of the western poetics in its relation to science fiction and the burning issues of the 21st century. “The rise of the machines” is interpreted here as a revolt against God, as overcoming the total scenarios of normative poetics and also as a visualization of Donna Haraway’s cyberfeminism ideas. The meta-western part of the Westworld plot unfolds from the 1970s and 1980s to the “revolutionary” aesthetics of the 60s and reveals its ambition to play around with the revisionist scripts of the spaghetti western, especially its most radical part — the zapata western. Trying on their revolutionary logic, the characters and creators of the series try to find their way out of the maze of unsolvable questions about the oncoming future and formulate new ethical dominants for a contemporary viewer. Such a logic supposes existence not in the world of a classical western — with the final triumph of justice, but in the world of a total revisionism of the late 1960s western. It is manifested in the integral poetics of the second season. Androids are creatures with a new worldview and perception of a different world order. They travel through different areas and levels of the historical park, collect key moments of history and stylistic features of a western as the central epic genre of cinema aesthetics. The first two seasons of the Westworld are as much an anthem to the cinema, the main art of the 20th century, as Quentin Tarantino’s westerns created at the same time. They demonstrate that in the world of contemporary values the cinema epic is the starting point of history, the beginning and the source of a person’s epic worldview. As a result, the western appears in the series as a key epic form underlying the mythological mind of a contemporary viewer. The meta-western nature also reflects the direction towards the total westernization of cinema aesthetics and, at the same time, an attempt to understand the reasons which led this approach to the crisis, projected onto the social contradictions of our time. The ironic laws of the spaghetti western, using the elements of Christianization and surrealism in the interpretation of the genre’s canonical schemes, make it possible to expand the range of the tasks set by the authors far beyond the borders of one-nation specifics.
CLOWN VS RAPPER: (INVECTIVES IN ONLINE AND OFFLINE RAP BATTLES)
Authors:   Institute of Art Education and Cultural Studies of the Russian Academy of Education, SEMENOVA ELENA A.
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to identifying the reasons for the more frequent laughter among listeners, caused by invectives addressed to the opponents’ pseudonyms rather than to their real names. In this regard, much attention in the work is paid to the concept of invective associated with the art of clownery. Since the times of Ancient Greece and Rome, it was one of the most important strategies of rhetorical art; now it is a key definition of a rap battle, in which the audience witnesses not humor, but something between humor and seriousness. (The written comments of the audience can be compared with the satirical texts of folk poetry: its anonymous authors treat the depicted characters as representatives of the laugh world that do not exist in reality.) Therefore, it is no coincidence that rap duels, which are discussed in this article, are considered the heirs of the ancient НАУКА ТЕЛЕВИДЕНИЯ № 16.3, 2020 91 THE ART AND SCIENCE OF TELEVISION poetic competitions, where participants exalted themselves by humiliating their partners. The article analyzes oral and written texts of rap battles and viewers’ comments with reference to a deep, humorous interpretation. The basis here is the Kozintsev’s metasemantic approach to the phenomenon of humor, which was not previously applied to their analysis. According to this approach, humor is explained by the ability to make fun of one’s own stupidity and auto–parody of oneself as a representative of Homo sapiens. The comic nature is especially pronounced in clowns and is extremely uncommon for participants in rap battles. In the beginning of the research, it was suggested that the rules of rap duels probably prevent comic situations from occurring during rap battles. Later, however, the author came to the conclusion that in reality, these rules provoke humorous moments, since the audience begins to transform the participants’ pseudonyms into carnival nicknames, perceiving them at an unconscious level as a game signal.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model that included two personal factors (altruism and green self-identity) on consumer intention to stay in green hotels. First, the study examined how the individual construct of the TPB model Affected consumer intention to stay in green hotels. Second, the study investigated how the extend ed TPB model that included two personal factors (altruism and green self-identity) affected consumer intention to stay in green hotels. Third, the study examined if attitude towards green hotels mediated the relationship between altruism and green self-identity and intention. The study adopted the quantitative research design and the cross-sectional survey method was used for data collection. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS SEM) was used for data analysis. Based on a dataset of 416 respondents, the results confirmed the applicability of the TPB model in predicting consumer intention to stay in green hotels in South Africa. The inclusion of altruism and green self-identity increased the predictive power of the TPB model. Additionally, the study found a partial mediation effect of attitude in the relationship between altruism and intention. The Mediating effect of attitude in the relationship between green self-identity and intention is insignificant.

Изучение конформационного состояния и способности к смачиванию как важных показателей для оценки качества сырья хитозана и образцов местных гемостатических средств на его основе
Authors: Быков В. , Кадысева О. , Гребенюк А. , Стрелова О. , Ловская Д. , Лебедев А. , Мочалова М.
Published: October 2020

В настоящее время хитозан относится к числу БАВ, активно применяемых для производства местных гемостатических средств (МГС). Среди физико-химических характеристик, определяющих его биологические свойства, основное место отводится молекулярной массе и степени деацетилирования. Однако прямой зависимости между указанными показателями и гемостатической активностью не выявлено. Показано, что дополнительным параметром, определяющим биологическую активность хитозана, может служить значение рН среды, при котором происходит переход макромолекулы хитозана из конформации «спираль» в конформацию «глобула». Эффективность МГС может зависеть от конформационного состояния, в котором находится макромолекула хитозана при нанесении на раневую поверхность (при физиологическом значении рН), а также от сорбционных характеристик готовых изделий и их способности к смачиванию. На основе полученных данных предложено расширить список контролируемых физико-химических показателей при оценке качества сырья хитозана и готовых МГС на его основе.

Published: October 2020

The cooperative learning (CL) intervention was conducted to find out the effects of two conditions of cooperative learning on prospective teachers (PTs) achievement and equity. Cooperative learning was embedded in methods of teaching English course. Thirty five students enrolled in Masters programme (MA ELTL) were the subjects of the study. The study employed counter balanced design. The main research questions addressed were; (1) What is the difference in PTs achievement after exposure to CL as compared to their previous CGPA? (2) Which model of CL is better for producing higher achievement? (3) Which CL model provides/ establishes equity (equal chances to succeed) to maximum number of students? Achievement tests and class quizzes were administered to obtain data. Paired samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were carried out to answer the research questions. The findings suggest that CL significantly enhances PTs achievement as compared to TI. Both CL models are compatible to increase achievement and equity in TE. Learning together is more efficient and effective as compared to STAD. The study open doors for doing innovations and intervention in teacher education through different CL models.
