This text addresses the cultural scotoma of these times of pandemic. To do this, we seek to apply the metaphor of the scotoma, used by Oliver Sacks in the clinical setting, expanding it to examine the cultural phenomenon of the pandemic. This scotoma is characterized by the impoverishment of the symbolic function of man. This impoverishment can be seen, for example, in the cultural phenomena of statistical panic and the loss of the most basic rituals, through which man used to face death. The examination of this scotoma is carried out in the light of the philosophical anthropology inspired by Cassirer and Blumenberg, insofar as this anthropology highlights the existence of man in his symbolic function.

The article attempts to highlight the understanding of culture in the work of famous Ukrainian Soviet philosophers of the second half of the ХХ century – Vadym Ivanov and Olexandr Yatsenko. Ukrainian Soviet philosophy of the postwar period is known primarily for research in logic, philosophical problems of science, philosophical anthropology, as well as research on the history of national philosophy. At the same time, philosophical and cultural issues seemed to be "in the shadow" of the above studies and actually leveled off in this period of development of Ukrainian philosophical thought. Because of this, there is a need to analyze the legacy of Ukrainian Soviet philosophers, who focused their attention on the philosophical explication of the phenomenon of culture. V. Ivanov and O. Yatsenko were among such thinkers. The thesis is substantiated that the philosophical comprehension of culture, of course, was not in the center of attention of the studied Ukrainian thinkers, however, while developing these or those concepts, they certainly concerned reflections on the cultural phenomenon, which became important for the development of the philosophical tradition in Ukraine. It is proved that for V. Ivanov culture becomes one of the most important factors of human self-realization and self-realization. It is especially important to emphasize that the culture of the Ukrainian Soviet philosopher is very connected with various kinds of social phenomena, thereby making it key in interpersonal relations in society. V. Ivanov emphasizes that culture is not a system, but one of the elements of human existence and manifestation of its existence. Thus, culture in the context of human existence determines not only the present, but also the perspective on which human progress is directed in one aspect or another. It was revealed that O. Yatsenko notes the close interconnection of culture and goal setting and ideals. In his opinion, culture, being a social phenomenon, is one of the key forms in which a person is able to realize his goals and ideals.

This paper refers to the ideas of cognitive dialectology and studies the somatic cultural pattern in the dialect world view of the Kuban subdialect speakers. Idiographic presentation of phraseological units with a somatic component and detection of benchmark areas, which are interpreted by the Kuban subdialect speakers as having an anatomic focus on their body, revealed the cognitive specific character of somatisms in the Kuban phraseological units and paroemias. The obtained results prove the high level of corporeality in the world view of Kuban people. The word-building productivity of somatic vocabulary and its ability to form metaphors were demonstrated. The analysis of a whole variety of examples confirmed that the main functions of certain body parts often serve as the basis for representational apprehension of situations. The abstract reinterpretation of somatism makes it acquire a symbolic function instead of a nominative one. Specific cases illustrate certain constitutive characteristics of the dialect as a gnoseological and cultural phenomenon: pessimism, as well as parceling of cognitive objects, which are conceptualized in the dialect world view due to their importance to village residents. The most important result obtained is the detection of nation-wide and highly localized features in the implementation of the somatic code of the dialect world view of the Kuban subdialect speakers. The dialect features at the level of inner form of phraseological units were considered. Using phraseological units and paroemias, the view of the Kuban subdialect speakers on the linguistic situation in the region and the subethnical perception of Kuban Cossacks’ military routine were discussed.

European Civilization

Under the influence of the values of Western European civilization, the life of contemporary human has been gradually shifted from the supremacy of the practices of material consumption to the practices of self-realization. It is interesting to understand the phenomenon of brand, which goes beyond researches in economics and marketing (D. Aaker, J. Trout and D. Ogilvy). Brand is able not only to take away the individual's world but also helps the individual to stand out, to overcome the ordinary life through brand’s universality which contributes to the establishment of mutual understanding between people. Philosophical anthropology and its theories by H. Marcuse, J. Ortega y Gasset or E. Fromm can become the basis for a new interpretation of brand as a socio-cultural phenomenon that plays a significant role in the human everyday life. The authors substantiate the thesis that brand and human-brand, in particular, can be tools of assembly and can be used as a reference for other people, can overcome the crisis of the identity of modern human.  

scholarly journals On Ricœur’s Shift from a Hermeneutics of Culture to a Cultural Hermeneutics

The essay’s argument is twofold: First, it contends that Ricœur’s articulation of the social imaginary in the Lectures on Ideology and Utopia (and other essays of that period), reveals a turn to a general theory of culture, which is best understood as a shift from a hermeneutics of culture to a cultural hermeneutics. This move forms part of his philosophical anthropology of “real social life.” The essay proposes it is epitomized in Ricœur’s changing reception of Cassirer. Second, the essay hermeneutically reconstructs the emergence of this turn in Ricœur’s intellectual trajectory, and, in so doing, contends that it is connected to a rearticulation of both the phenomenological reduction and the symbolic function that took place in the mid- to late 1960s. Ricœur’s developing response to the phenomenological problematic of the world horizon underlies these further phenomenological-hermeneutic considerations. The essay concludes with a brief sketch of Ricœur’s understanding of the symbolic mediation of action (in the Geertz lecture) as a reconfiguration of the hermeneutical actualization of phenomenological preconditions of the symbolic.

In anthropology, food is considered as cultural phenomenon that bears meaning and has four symbolic function, such as social, group solidarity, food and soul tense, and symbolism of food in language. To enhance symbolic meaning of food, these functions were sometimes linked to beliefs and superstitions supported by sanction, that is superstitious and concrete punishment. The sanction took its form in kemponan expression. Kemponan is the belief of the society of West Kalimantan that emerge in the context of ignoring food and beverages offer to someone. In the culture of offering food and beverages, it is believed that person a who did not touch one serving that was offered, will meet disaster. This writting slightly discussed about kemponan expression in cultural perspective. The methods used is qualitative descriptive.  Source of the data is oral and written one. Source of oral data gained by observation, while written one gathered by scripts of folk tales that has been published. The technique of data collecting of the oral and written data are interview and taking notes. Finally, the writting is narrowed down to an insight that an expression, despite assumed as a media to express sense and sensibility, may show cultural events in each region, like kemponan expression that took root in oral tradition of West Kalimantan society.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
