The relevance of the topic is due to the need to study contemporary religious processes in Ukraine, since the policy of state-church relations largely requires the adjustment and development of their more effective models based on pan-European practice. In addition, the social orientation of the Roman Catholic Church leads to reflections on the role and place of Orthodoxy in the modern world, the advisability of preserving its conservative traditionalist foundations. In this context, the experience of the RCC's missionary activity is (...) not only scientifically-cognitive, but also clearly practical. (shrink)

Problem setting. The contemporary sociopolitical reality reflects high dynamics of the cultural development and features uncertainty, insecurity unexpectedness, transfer and fragmentation. These conditions transform the traditional views on social and political practices, revisiting individual understanding of identity. To describe cultural process peculiarities, social and humanitarian sciences actively use the performative approach, which allows researchers to focus on the underlying force of human actions and the way they generate cultural senses. While studying social and political actors a major theme is the (...) phenomenon of masses, which testifies to significant changes in political discourse, in particular, the destruction of the traditional channels of political expression. Recent research and publications analysis. In today’s conditions of the crisis in interpretation there is a trend to go beyond the meaning and address trans-semiotic elements of the human existence. The process of rethinking the mankind discursive interpretation and sense genesis opens a way to corporeality theories that enable to reproduce subjective experience in the performative paradigm. The study of performatives and their potential to create socially and politically meaningful effects is a promising and insufficiently developed field of research. Paper objective. The research discusses the phenomenon of corporeality as a new practice of political self-expression within the performative approach. Paper main body. The study is devoted to the contemporary research into the problems of corporeality and its role in the political discourse. Structural and post-structural philosophy understands reality as a text and, respectively, focuses on the communicative role of the language and the interpretational nature of human-world relations. This semiotic discourse substitutes the sense with meaning. It was shown that the discourse approach, based on the link between the world and the language, interpretations, exchange of meanings and their production in the human world building does not consider the opportunities of the trans-semiotic experience. It was confirmed that the conceptualization of new political practices in the conditions of world rewriting by itself is a most important theme in the modern philosophy and it sets the task to search for new approaches to the issue of a political subject as an agent. It was demonstrated that one of these approaches emerges in the theory of performativity. Under the conditions of corporal communication a performance is the means of personality expression, the way to enter communication, which implies certain attitude and understanding from other communicators. The paper deals with the prospect of considering political issues, given in the performative paradigm and followed in the works by Judith Butler, and other researchers of the new political realm. It was particularly shown that the body as a discursive field always has a political perspective. Therefore, the work dwells on the concepts of gathering, power, precarity, democracy, justice, sources of corporeality politicization etc. It was emphasized that the phenomenon of going out into the street, caused by the vulnerability and dramatism of personal stories, requires considering such motives, and also reflecting on the conditions and ways of accepting political attitude on the whole. Conclusions of the research. The conventional political articulation is being replaced by the density of corporeality and performance, which is, in turn, becoming a new driver of political processes. One of the versions of the political subject is gathering unlike masses, parties and people. This approach outlines a broad field of research into the new political language for contemporary political practices. (shrink)

Analyses the impact of scientific and technological progress in the development of new strategies of corporeal identity. Тo a large extent, these strategies are due to the influence of transhumanism, which proclaimed a radical new approach to understanding the future based on the assumption that the human species is not the end point of our evolution, but rather its beginning. Transhumanism has created a hypothetical image of the man of the future, which abandoned the usual human appearance due to the (...) introduction of advanced technologies: computer science, biotechnology, nanotechnology, medical. An important role in the development of bodily practices, in which is displayed the transformation of identity strategies in the era of the technogenic civilization, performs mass culture. This article examines the impact of Cybernetics to bodily idenitty of modern man. Study on the metamorphosis of bodily identity has a theoretical value as modes of corporeality and corporeal identity reflects the reality of the human world. Analysis of the strategies of corporeal identity has practical value, since they are constructed through discourse of mass culture, which determines the nature of being a modern man and the functioning of the individual in society Analyzing the changes that occur with the person, you can say that a particular form of technologically mediated mankind has already become a reality. In the modern era are inherently two opposite forms of technological postindustrial culture,: human, spiritual, and anti-human, machine and technical. It is the culture of the person who breaks the link with nature, surrounds himself with artificial reality. Іn this connection, particular importance is an understanding of appropriate conservation in new conditions of human existence of true humanity. (shrink)

Статтю присвячено аналізу ролі соціальних мереж у становленні глобалізаційних процесів людства. З’ясовано, що роль соціальних мереж завжди була важливою у функціонуванні суспільства, однак в останні десятиліття їхній вплив на становлення глобалізації суттєво зріс. Глобальний соціальний порядок виникає, зокрема, завдяки соціальним мережам. Неостанньою чергою саме завдяки ним він отримує свій сенс, свою ідеологію, своє ціннісне обґрунтування. Глобальний соціальний порядок інституалізується багато в чому завдяки соціальним мережам. Поступово він сам набуває соціально-мережевих ознак. У статті проаналізовано соціально-антропологічні підвалини формування специфіки людських соціальних мереж (...) порівняно із соціальними зв’язками тварин. Здійснено порівняльний аналіз поглядів Ювала Ноя Харарі, Джеррі Койна, Ніла Фергюсона, Йорана Терборна, Мішеля Мафесолі. Висунуто гіпотезу, що соціальні мережі трансформують зсередини соціальні інститути, у тому числі ті, що становлять інституційний каркас глобалізації. Водночас, соціальні мережі суттєво доповнюють функціонування інститутів у забезпеченні реалізації соціальних потреб членів суспільства. (shrink)

Problem setting. Changes in modern society, the increasing role of information and knowledge, improvement of communication, development of network structures, etc. – generate qualitative changes in all kinds of activities at all levels. Recent research and publications analysis. The term “society” is Central to social philosophy. There are many points of view on society, its nature, system features, factors and determinants of development. In the vast majority of publications traced the idea that information and communication is actually an attribute of (...) the information society. Therefore, in this article attempt to justify attributional information and commu- nication processes throughout the Genesis companies. Paper objective. The purpose of the article is justification attributional information and communication processes of social development. Paper main body. Society is a system of entities related communication processes. Life and human activity is impossible or extremely limited outside of society. The need for communication is among basic human needs, it dictates the behavior of people with no less authority than, for example, so-called vital needs. Communication is a necessary condition for the normal development of a person as a member of society, as individuals. In social-philosophical discourse has formed two approaches to the consideration of communications – the mechanistic and activity. From the position of the mechanistic ap- proach, communication is understood as a unidirectional process of transmission and reception of information through encoding and decoding, respectively. Man is here viewed as a mechanism, which can be described by a finite defined rules, and external medium communication represents noise. In the framework of the activity approach communication is understood as communication, joint activities, exchange of information. Information of this position can be represented as transmission of messages in the process of interaction of the two systems, which leads to a change in their status. In the process of development of society as a system of communication and relations, acquire new characteristics, change the properties of the information that is transmitted. According to the theory of technological determinism, which removes a major role in social development, science and technology, the development of society up to the present time occurs in three stages: the preindustrial, industrial and postindustrial. Pre-industrial society is characterized by an agrarian mode of production; the indus- trial society – the machinery of production, scientific organization of labour, free trade, a unified system of national economy. In post-industrial society the key role of knowledge and information. Class division is changing the professional service sector dominates the sphere of production. Conclusions of the research. The nature of society is the information and communi- cation, complexity of social structure is directly dependent on complexity and expansion of information and communication linkages. Information and communication society is accompanied at all stages of its evolution. The basis of the historical development of society. (shrink)

Postmodern sentiment in Ukraine is predominantly the young generation, which is concentrated in large cities. It is urbanization that creates the preconditions for the development of cultural and ideological pluralism and individual autonomy. In the diversity of existing worldview paradigms, young people seek to find themselves, including spiritually. In this regard, religion, as a spiritual phenomenon, is inevitably a field of interest for the younger generation.

The article attempts to comprehend the phenomenon of an event in the religious dimension. An event is considered as a phenomenon characterized by a singularity, that is, an individual character of expression, belongs to the sphere of non everyday life, does not coincide with the usual framework of understanding of the world and does not correspond to empirical factual. The need for a more active philosophical and religious discourse of the correlation between everyday and non everyday life in the realm (...) of religion led to the necessity of address to this problem. Thus, the purpose of the article is to find out the ontological status of the event, the religious context of which manifests itself as an opposition to everyday life and leads to a transformation of the established way of life of the believer. Everyday being is characterized by features of sacredness, demonstrates the attraction to the transcendent. For this reason, the obvious and justified is the combination of the phenomena of everyday empirical world with the values ​​of another dimension of being. The presence of non everyday in everyday life is evidenced, in particular, by elements of cult practice, since they are an expression of sacral time and space, as well as a way of incarnation of eternal values. The sphere of non everyday life includes the relationship between human and God described in the Gospels, prophecies, revelation, and vision as non everyday manifestations of religious experience. Event is the opposition of the world of phenomena to beyond the exquisite world of being, the transformation, which leads to the emergence of new orders and structures. Implementation of the event contradicts the previous ideas, therefore meeting the event with standard reality is accompanied by a transformation of everyday life. Establishing the rootedness of an event into being or its transcendental origin allows us to determine the causes of an event. In a secularized world, human, for the most part, demonstrates his willingness to recognize as significant events, including those in the universe, which correspond to scientific knowledge. This happens even when the fact of the event calls into question the fundamental postulates of science. Given this discovery in science, situations in politics, art, personal life are perceived as large-scale events. Moreover, the moment of meeting with the event can be described, for example, with a poetic language that expresses certain symbols of human existence and appears as a means of objectivizing the event as an unexpected innovation. Instead, the believer perceives events of a supernatural nature as an interference of the otherworldly reality in the usual way of life. Thus, the reception of religious experience is accompanied by the transformation of the individual's everyday life. The basis of the mystical experience of the religious tradition is the experience of meeting with the Divine, which results in a change in the believer's self-consciousness, transformation of its values, senses and meanings. That is, the awareness of an event that does not belong to an established order implies the prospect of new reality emersion, which contradicts previous notions. One of the forms of gaining religious experience is the process of conversion, which results in the transformation of the ideological orientation of a person, which enables the knowledge of their own hidden depths of consciousness. Conversion, the acquisition of grace and faith express the sudden or gradual process by which the individual achieves internal harmony, awareness of his righteousness, a sense of happiness, finds support in believing in the reality of what he has discovered in religious experiences.
