Across the art school, there are explicit forms of welcoming, of hosting, and othering. From the process of admissions to the structures of critique to the hiring process of both precarious and instrumental academic labour, the art school centers values built on invisible hospitalities that actively foreclose emancipatory social and political practices and continually reasserts dominant expectations of market-based practices. This essay traces the ways in which invisible hospitalities inform curricular, infrastructural, and administrative processes, while charting a course for cultivating new forms of hospitality that can support plural, complex, and radical forms of creative self-determination and artistic practice.

Сегодня в центре внимания должна быть личность ученого, ее неповторимый внутренний мир. Основной целью современного учителя должен быть выбор таких инновационных методов и форм организации учебной деятельности учащихся, которые будут направлены на всестороннее творческое развитие личности. Это включает не только новые технические средства, а также новые формы и методы преподавания, новый подход к организации процесса обучения и общения между участниками образовательного процесса. Обновленное образование должно основываться на входе в инновационный режим работы и профессионализации педагогов, его творческом самоопределении, направленности на самообразование, саморазвитие и самосовершенствование. Только неравнодушие педагога к познанию и использованию в своей деятельности нововведений будет способствовать воспитанию успешной личности. Стратегические направления развития образования, определенные в рамках реализации государственных программ и национальных проектов, определяют формирование интеллектуального и культурного потенциала нации путем обеспечения постоянного духовного самосовершенствования личности. Трансформационные процессы в образовании предусматривают развитие творческой, инициативной стороны человека, который способен не только к трансляции знаний, но и готов создавать новые мировые образцы культуры и духовности, новых интересные навыки. Today, the focus should be on the personality of the scientist, her unique inner world. The main goal of the modern teacher should be to choose such innovative methods and forms of organizing the educational activities of students, which will be aimed at the comprehensive creative development of the person. This includes not only new technical means, but also new forms and methods of teaching, a new approach to organizing the learning process and communication between participants in the educational process. Renewed education should be based on entering the innovative mode of work and professionalization of teachers, their creative self-determination, focus on self-education, self-development and self-improvement. Only the teacher's indifference to knowledge and the use of innovations in his activities will contribute to the education of a successful person. The strategic directions for the development of education, defined within the framework of the implementation of state programs and national projects, determine the formation of the intellectual and cultural potential of the nation by ensuring the constant spiritual improvement of the person. Transformational processes in education provide for the development of the creative, initiative side of a person who is able not only to translate knowledge, but also ready to create new world models of culture and spirituality, new interesting skills.

Through examining childbearing in California’s Silicon Valley, this article describes how seeking “self-actualization” has become a rite of passage for contemporary childbearing people. This approach undermines distinctions between “technological” and “natural” approaches to birth, as people are coached to leverage both logistical and animalistic capacities to produce “self-knowledge” and enact new feminist ways of doing embodiment. Based on fieldwork conducted as a doula, this article describes new rituals, anxieties, and aspirations that draw from both the idea that self-authenticity stems from an unadulterated, primordial nature and that self-realization is enabled by a very modern, reflexive strategy of self-design. In this community, the way reproduction comes to matter has less to do with realizing gendered expectations and kinship relations than with creative self-optimization. This approach facilitates women’s self-determination, while simultaneously introducing new forms of pressure and advancing a dominant cultural discourse that minimizes thinking about structural conditions and mutual accountability.

People are sensitive in communication and they undergo relationship problems. They are influenced by others’ evaluation striving for adequate personal self-realization. A periodization of personal creative self-realization is presented, based on psychosexual developmental stages and psychosocial developmental stages for achievement of personal growth and life goals.

The article raises questions about the role and place of women in medieval society and the artistic space. The possibilities for realizing the artistic potential of female artists and female sculptors are explored. The historiography of the outlined problem is analyzed. It is noted that the main obstacles to full creative self-realization of the female artists were numerous social stereotypes, limited access to professional artistic education and artistic practice, lack of social and economic independence, social discrimination and harassment in the process of becoming part of the androcentric professional elite. An example of an analysis of the way of life and the creative work of the first famous sculpture woman of the Renaissance Properzia de Rossi era demonstrated the intolerance of the medieval society and the artistic community to the possibility of self-realization of the medieval female artist as a sculptor. The main source for research is the monumental work of the Italian architect, theorist and first historian of art, Giorgio Vasari, «The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects». Propperzia de Rossi is one of the four female artists whom Vasari is paying attention in his stories. The author of the article has shown that Vasari belted the biography of Propercia de Rossi, as he strengthened his contemptuous attitude to the mistress. Vasari used the life and work of de Rossi as an example of the fact that all women, albeit very talented and capable of creating interesting work, are not in a position to escape certain female character traits in their writings. Finally, Vasari recognizes the talent of Properzia de Rossi and states the lack of understanding and worthy support from the contemporary society. At the end of the article, the author concludes on the urgent need for a critical analysis of the rather tendentious present-day presentation of the history of the arts and the need to revisit previously unobserved gender aspects in canonical Western-European art.

Georgina Beier, née Betts, was born in London in 1938. At age sixteen she enrolled in the Kingston Art School; however, she dropped out after fifteen months, later claiming that the academic atmosphere risked impeding her personal development. In 1959 she moved to Nigeria where she met and married Ulli Beier, becoming his second wife. In 1964 Beier began conducting annual art workshops at the Mbari Mbayo Club (Osogbo, Nigeria), where she encouraged her students to be authentic, rather than becoming preoccupied with academic constraints. Famous artists who emerged from these workshops, such as Twins Seven Seven, Muraina Oyelami, and Rufus Ogundele, were, like Beier, never academically trained. Beier also participated in the theater company of the Mbari Mbayo Club, painting backdrops and designing costumes for plays and religious ceremonies. Beier relocated with her husband to several different countries, including Papua New Guinea, Australia, India, and Germany. Despite these relocations, she continued to run workshops with local artists and maintained her own artistic practice, producing many works including paintings, sculptures, textiles, lithographs, furniture design, murals, mosaics, and illustrations for publications by Ulli Beier.

The article updates the problem of reconstruction of the modern upbringing process, the leading idea of which is the targeting of its goals, content, forms and methods at self-development of a child and the becoming of a child’s subjectivity as an active, purposeful, initiative, creative and constructive position in his or her own livelihoods on the basis of humanistic values of a democratic society. The conceptual provisions of the author’s concept of freedom pedagogy have become the starting point in solving the mentioned problem. There have been defined the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of a child’s subjectivity, the realization of which requires the establishing within the educational environment of an educational institution the upbringing space of free determination of a personality as a specially organized pedagogical environment, containing three basic components (spatial, socio-psychological and organizational-pedagogical) and provides opportunities for manifestation of initiative, volitional, creative, self-managerial forms of subjective activities of a personality. The basic approaches to the organization of the upbringing process on the basis of freedom pedagogy have been defined: pedagogy of indirect upbringing influence (directed freedom) and pedagogy of assistance (support).

The Central task of modern professional education is the formation of students’ readiness for self-education, self-development. Autodidactic processes are of direct relevance to the solution of this problem, which, acting as the basis for independent educational and cognitive activity, help students overcome the difficulties of self-development, contribute to the activation of creative potential (“self” processes), and allow them to become the subject of their own development. The article reveals the nature of musical art, which opens up opportunities for the development of semantic aspects of reality from the standpoint of creativity and continuous self-development; highlights the structure of artistic and creative self-development, which includes three levels – professional and value self-determination; artistic and creative self-perfection; artistic and creative self-actualization; the basic strategy of artistic and creative self-development of students-musicians, which is a harmonious combination of adaptive (conformal) and non-adaptive (creative) types of activity with a gradual predominance of creative activity. Special attention is paid to the components of artistic and creative self-development, which, representing the facets of one process, complement and enrich each other.
