In the conditions of the intensive transformation of modern culture, due to the mass dig-italization of various spheres of society, the traditional education-culture relationship acquires significant features. A significant cultural layer (especially mass culture) is formed in the digital environment. Today's education requires that all subjects of the educational process not only correctly use the artifacts of this culture, but also successfully participate in its creation. One of the key conditions for solving this problem is the formation of a digital culture of employees of the educational organization. And effective management of the development of such a culture becomes an important managerial task of its leader. Of course, such a task requires the head of special competencies, which can be mastered by an effective system of continuing education of the education manager.

In this paper we discuss the deadlocks of defining art in modern culture. The lack of criteria and modernism revisited are of crucial issue in this account. The theoretical mainframe of our approach is founded on the Frankfurt School thinkers (Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin), and of course Jürgen Habermas. This theoretical apparatus also draws on contemporary accounts given by Sorbonne Professor Marc Jimenez and art critic John A. Walker.[1] The paper discusses whether fine art may survive, in what forms – and to what purpose – in an age of mass media and in conditions of rapid networked communication. The paper sets off from the critical role radical art plays in today’s divided yet global world and on the continuing debates between high art and low culture, but reflects on the interaction between art, media and technology. To support our argument we suggest Body Art and other web/digital and technological applications in art, and the cyber-art currently being produced for the internet. The paper acknowledges the numerous interactions between art and culture in a postmodern pluralistic world, and draws from the vast range of contemporary works of art to illustrate and to criticize theoretical points. The true test of theory in aesthetics is their application to particular cases. When a theory shows limitations in such an application, we gain clues as to what theoretical adjustments or innovations are called for to accommodate today’s works. The introductory part of the essay comprehensively surveys recent debates on works of art, mass culture and society, and their socio-philosophical significance. The main discussion refers to the work of Walter Benjamin and Jürgen Habermas, aptly commented on by Marc Jimenez;[2] after exploring the complex relationships between culture and art as it’s reflected in that work, the argument provides an account of the 1980s political turn in aesthetics and explicates the impact of new communication technologies in modern culture. The narration is enhanced by specific examples of works of art in the era of mass media, web and digital culture, and underlines both the styles’ pluralism and the variety of parameters affecting the interaction between art and mass media communication. Critical findings and suggestions for further research conclude the paper.   [1] Marc Jimenez, Qu’est-ce que l’esthétique, Paris: Gallimard, 1997; John A.

The relevance of the study is to try to make sense of the changes in photography. The problem of research is the lack of a position in modern cultural studies on the essence of photography. The problem is methodological. The aim of the study is to study approaches to photography and their evolution. Research methods are associated with philosophical and cultural analysis of the problem. There are several approaches to studying photography. The author chooses those of them that will reveal the problem of changing the relationship to the essence of photography in the cultural and philosophical aspect. Susan Sontag says that photography takes on the importance of social ritual and is perceived as an instrument of self-approval. Andre Rouille defines the place of photography in modern culture and speaks of it as a certain cultural phenomenon, art technology. Here, Rouille contrasts his theoretical grounds with the views of Roland Barth. Rouille says that photography has universality, a total manifestation in culture, Bart, on the contrary, claims that photography is an object, the photograph itself contains an object that the photograph displays. Based on different views on the problem of the essence of photography, the author proposed a number of figure of merit by which it will be possible to trace the evolution of scientific approaches to the study of photography. Thus, three main figure of merit were developed, the first of which considers photography as part of culture. Photography becomes woven into the modern cultural layer, thanks to technological innovations. It ceases to be perceived as a separate document, but is seen by each user as an integral part of everyday life. The new digital culture dictates changes in the field of visual language. On the other hand, photography also remains part of art, this is the second criterion. The creative methods of artists, photographers are expanding significantly in modern art, photography is becoming part of many artistic practices. The third criterion is related to the philosophical understanding of the essence of photography. Many researchers aim to identify the primary basis of the photographic image. The findings of the study are related to the fact that photography is experiencing essential changes in connection with the advent of digital culture. Photography takes on the shade of a social element, which allows it to be part of a person's everyday culture. There is a significant transition from a document to a certain element of public relations. Its active manifestation in mass culture, social networks speaks of the importance of photography for modern culture. Ideas about photography are associated with the socio-cultural context of its existence. Susan Sontag in the second half of the 20th century spoke of photography as an integral part of social relations, today photography is perceived as a tool for constructing the worldview of modern man, it is said about her influence on aesthetics, the formation of a different reality.

The purpose and tasks of the work are to analyze the contemporary Ukrainian mass culture in terms of its value and humanistic components, as well as the importance of cultural studies and Ukrainian studies in educational disciplines for the formation of a holistic worldview of modern youth.Analysis of research and publications. Scientists repeatedly turned to the problems of the role of spirituality in the formation of society and its culture. This problem is highlighted in the publications by O. Losev, V. Lytvyn, D. Likhachev, S. Avierintsev, M. Zakovych, I. Stepanenko and E. Kostyshyn.Experts see the main negative impact of mass culture on the quality approach, which determines mass culture through the market, because mass culture, from our point of view, is everything that is sold and used in mass demand.One of the most interesting studies on this issue was the work by the representatives of Frankfurt School M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno «Dialectics of Enlightenment» (1947), devoted to a detailed analysis of mass culture. Propaganda at all socio-cultural levels in the form is similar in both totalitarian and democratic countries. It is connected, according to the authors, with the direction of European enlightenment. The tendency to unify people is a manifestation of the influence of mass culture, from cinema to pop. Mass culture is a phenomenon whose existence is associated with commerce (accumulation in any form – this is the main feature of education), in general, the fact that it exists in this form is related to the direction of the history of civilization.Modern mass culture, with its externally attractive and easily assimilated ideas and symbols, appealing to the trends of modern fashion, becomes a standard of prestigious consumption, does not require intense reflection, allows you to relax, distract, not teach, but entertains, preaches hedonism as the main spiritual value. And as a consequence, there are socio-cultural risks: an active rejection of other people, which leads to the formation of indifference; cruelty as a character trait; increase of violent and mercenary crime; increase in the number of alcohol and drug addicts; anti-patriotism; indifference to the values of the family and as a result of social orphanhood and prostitution.Conclusions, perspectives of research. Thus, we can conclude that modern Ukrainian education is predominantly formed by the values of mass culture. Namely, according to the «Dialectic» by Horkheimer and Adorno, «semi-enlightenment becomes an objective spirit» of our modern society.It is concluded that only high-quality education can create the opposite of the onset of mass culture and the destruction of spirituality in our society. It is proved that only by realizing the importance of cultivating disciplines in the educational process and the spiritual upbringing of the nation, through educational reforms, humanitarian knowledge will gradually return to student audiences.Formation of youth occurs under the influence of social environment, culture, education and self-education. The optimal combination of these factors determines both the process of socialization itself and how successful it will be. In this context, one can see the leading role of education and upbringing. It turns out that the main task of modern education is to spread its influence on the development of spiritual culture of the individual, which eventually becomes a solid foundation for the formation of the individual. Such a subject requires both philosophical and humanitarian approaches in further integrated interdisciplinary research, since the availability of such research will provide the theoretical foundation for truly modern educational and personal development.

Evolving digital technologies are infiltrating schools wave after wave. The changes taking place are viewed as the schools’ digital renewal process (SDRP). The SDRP is complex (multidimensional). It includes changes in the educational environment (physical and virtual), the educational process, and the way the school operates. The SDRP goes uneven, with individual schools at different stages. One-time observation of the SDRP allows you to fix its current state (statics). The longitudinal observations allows you to see changes in the schools’ digital renewal (kinematics). The connection of the observed changes with the impact on the general education system makes it possible to discuss the development of digital renewal under the influence of individual control actions (dynamics). The stages of penetration of digital technologies into the work of the school: computerization, early and mature informatization, digital transformation (transition to the “Smart School”) can be considered as the stages of maturity of the SDRP. The article discusses a framework for describing the processes of digital renewal of schools in an evolving digital environment and an assessment of the SDRP’s maturity.
