This paper is dedicated to V. V. Rosanov views on the issue of sexual love. Analyzing the system of Rosanov’s notions of the God, nature and sex, authors show how the philosopher is trying to create pansexualistic quasireligious doctrine versus Christianity. The thinker is referred to as a radical ideologist of mystical-erotic revolution and a mouthpiece of peculiar to Russian culture trend towards the construction of a national religion.

The aim of the article is to reveal the modern autoethnographic approach to social research. The review of publications edited since the beginning of the 2000's has shown that autoethnography works as a planned, well-structured confession correlating with the outside world. The essentially open and uncompromising representation of each detail in the author’s personal story related to the subject matter, alongside with his/her shift away from neutrality and organized skepticism in respect of the research issue, establish the principles for an (...) autobiographical approach. The article reflects the peculiarities of modern autoethnographic schools, and describes the methods and techniques of autobiographical writing. There are two trends of autoethnography that are distinguished in Western tradition: evocative autoethnography, which is based on queer theory, and analytical autoethnography, traditionally oriented to conceptual apparatus. The first evocative trend is founded on the metaphors of emotional, authentic, and veracious representations of cultural realities through the autobiographical genre. The second trend, analytical autoethnography, is supported by three research prescriptions: the actual membership in the studied community, and avoidance of understatements, including the unspoken, non-prescribed details of ethnographic work; the desire for theoretical understanding of reality; and the rejection of any authentic reflection of the past. Over the past 20–30 years, there has not been any significant autoethnographic project implemented by the Russian research community appealing to the development of independent theoretical descriptive language. The only exception to the rule is Alexeyev’s so-called "dramaturgical sociology", adjacent to the queer ideology of some Western colleagues. The paper represents a detailed analysis of research innovation embedded by Alexeyev, as well as a logical and theoretical overlapping with the works of foreign authors. (shrink)

This paper is dedicated to the analysis of Heidegger’s «transcendental» consideration of Being as the condition of the possibility of the openness of Beingness to the cognition. Transcendence is only one being, whose existence is the nature of the transition, the spraying sense, the spraying itself. Transcendence is Dasein only. Transcendence makes the situation when Dasein enters into a relationship with existenzia or other Dasein itself. A preliminary understanding of being has its foundation in the transcendence. Dasein understands itself in (...) its own ability to be, in anticipation of which it is located. In anticipation of their own possibilities Dasein rises to himself, on steps for itself, it is always in some way - in front of itself. The author demonstrates on the base of the textual analysis, that Heidegger’s question concerning the access to the Beingness remains within the bounds of the transcendental statement of question.

У статті подається короткий огляд прагматичного емпіризму Джеймса, емпіризму Дьюї, неопрагматистських ідей Рорті, огляд метамоделей Крейга щодо теорії комунікації. На основі даного огляду авторка обґрунтовує необхідність радикалізації прагматизму та аналізує його вплив на комунікаційні дослідження. Досліджується теорія комунікації Роберта Крейга, яку він розглядає як практичну дисципліну. Доводиться, що всі теорії комунікації є взаєморелевантними, якщо їх адресують у практичний життєвий світ, в якому «комунікація» вже є багатозначним терміном. Кожна традиція теорії комунікації походить з риторичних посилань на певні загальноприйняті уявлення про комунікації, (...) оскаржуючи інші переконання. Взаємодоповнення та напруженість традицій породжують теоретичний метадискурс, який перетинається з існуючим практичним метадискурсом у суспільстві та потенційно інформує про нього. За попередньою схемою комунікативного поля риторична, семіотична, феноменологічна, кібернетична, соціально-психологічна, соціокультурна і критична традиції теорії комунікації вирізняються властивими способами визначення комунікації та проблем спілкування, метадискурсивними словниками та метадискурсивними загальними поняттями. Запропоновано порівняльну аргументацію між традиціями, розглянуто результати для теоретичної роботи та дисциплінарної практики в цій галузі. (shrink)

The article discusses the various aspects of freedom of interpretation in the artwork. The new version of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” in The Odessa National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet by the stage director Yuri Alexandrov became the subject of the researcher’s analysis. The stage director presented to the audience two pamphlets: “The Directorial Concept - Direct Speech” and “The libretto from the opera Don Giovanni by Mozart in the innovative interpretation by Yuri Alexandrov.” The author of the article questions (...) whether this new interpretation has a significant effect on the meaning of the opera and whether Don Juan acquires a fundamentally new portrayal. Mozart provides the opportunity to interpret the Don Juan opera in a playful way, which the author takes as an opportunity to reveal the game of comical and tragic components driven by the musical and contextual elements of the originator. She presents this dichotomy as the source of occasional conflicting interpretations of the opera’s events. Nelly Ivanova-Georgievskaya is able to convincingly show that Yuri Alexandrov’s interpretation of the libretto comes into conflict not only with the original text, but also with the familiar depiction of the opera’s characters, transforming comic scenes into vulgar ones, and making tragic ones farcical.
