While there are many contestations surrounding the significance, meanings, and interpretations of dis/ability in the field of critical cultural studies, the author presents a variety of foundational as well as emergent concepts, structures, and histories in order to situate these debates. The 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2020, increasingly frequent criticisms of the “sea of whiteness” in disability critique, and an attendant call for equitable attention to intersectional theorization and practice, accompanied by a variety of frameworks, are employed to introduce the relevance of these contestations as well as to equip readers with opportunities to engage and study further.

The article is devoted to the analysis of interdisciplinary humanitarian studies and the 30th anniversary of the scientific school established by the Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor, Doctor of Art History Tatyana Semenovna Zlotnikova. Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University, where the well-known Russian scientific school of cultural studies was born, is also home to the World of the Russian Province Research Center, the Dissertation Council, and several journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission. Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is the founder and scientific leader of these institutions. The success of scientific work is measured today as a global scientific demand, and practical significance for its local space. Scientists from the best research centers in Russia participate in annual "Yaroslavl conferences", grant projects and publications. Yaroslavl cultural projects involve all age and professional levels: from students, undergraduates, postgraduates to doctoral students and professors. However, even with the mass audience, Professor Zlotnikova and her students are talented at building a dialogue. This article deals primarily with the methodology and publishing genres put forward by the Yaroslavl Scientific School of Cultural Studies: an analysis of the creative personality, the concept of Russian mass culture and a fundamentally new textbook on cultural studies. The publications of Professor T. S. Zlotnikova and her colleagues on these problems have a significant heuristic potential, are of high practical significance and have been awarded numerous grants. On the one hand, the 30th anniversary of the Yaroslavl scientific school of cultural studies is a phenomenon of scientific life; on the other hand, the analysis of topical problems of cultural studies based on the material of the multigenre editions of Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is a methodological and research work

The Creation

The object of research in the article is the Ural culturological school, the history of which begins with the creation of the first professional department of cultural studies in the region at the Ural State (now Ural Fede­ral) University, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on April 9, 2021. The emergence of this department in Yekaterinburg, as well as in a number of leading universities in the country, contributed to the emergence and development of a new science — culturology, which is gradually beginning to establish itself in the system of traditional humanities and today occupies a prominent place in it.

Abstract Tomasello argues in the target article that, in generalizing the concrete obligations originating from interdependent collaboration to one's entire cultural group, humans become “ultra-cooperators.” But are all human populations cooperative in similar ways? Based on cross-cultural studies and my own fieldwork in Polynesia, I argue that cooperation varies along several dimensions, and that the underlying sense of obligation is culturally modulated.

Summary: This paper presents the results obtained in Spain with The Interpersonal Adjective Scales of J.S. Wiggins (1995) concerning the variables' structure. There are two Spanish versions of IAS, developed by two independent research groups who were not aware of each other's work. One of these versions was published as an assessment test in 1996. Results from the other group have remained unpublished to date. The set of results presented here compares three sources of data: the original American manual (from Wiggins and collaborators), the Spanish manual (already published), and the new IAS (our own research). Results can be considered satisfactory since, broadly speaking, the inner structure of the original instrument is well replicated in the Spanish version.
