The article outlines the problem of combining professional and personal qualities in the choir conductor. Research gaps in the profession of choir conductor are outlined. We established that the art of conducting, and choral performance as its component, currently requires professionally trained personnel, who have an active life position and are able to provide a creative approach to choral singing. It was found that conducting should be interpreted as a creative process characterized by a step-by-step structure and a combination of analysis and comprehension of the choral score, its artistic interpretation, which allows embodying the formed musical image in the real choral sound. It was found that the conductor’s professional qualities are based on the conductor’s individual style or his “creative method”. It is established that the emotional sphere of the conductor is the result of a combination of qualities that will allow the conductor and the choir to demonstrate a bright and convincing revelation of the originality of texture, expressive timbre colors of numerous choral scores, and a rich palette of nuances.

The method «creative navigation» maintains creative freedom of designer and at the same time streamlining of mental process. The method «creative navigation» considered in comparison with «scenario methods» and the theory of speculative design. This article explores semiotic aspects of the method. The author gives considerable attention to approbation of method «creative navigation» in real design practice.

Seven short animated films are examined by the auteur-animator as he self-reflects on their creations. Making animation is not only an extension of the pictorial and comic-like expression, but also the act of mystically creating movement to be perceived in the real. The artist shares his personal experiences during the animation making process including the unconscious imaginative realm that creeps into his creative thoughts. Technology may play an important part of the animation production but the author maintains that there is a deeper spiritual world where he is somehow drawn into when he is making animation. Spiritually, he feels the transcendence of the dualism of mind and matter during the creative process, and is able to unite the subconscious with reality. Citing motifs including natural, inorganic, or imaginative entities, the author demonstrates the influence of the psyche in his artistic expressions. To the artist, the spiritual assimilation aspects of his work are profound, complex, and illuminating.

The article presents the results of the theoretical and empirical research on professional stereotypes characteristic for specialists working in extreme situations. During professional work, stereotypes concerning the performed professional functions, actions, operations are formed inevitably. They simplify fulfilment of professional tasks, increase their certainty, and facilitate relations with colleagues. Stereotypes bring stability into professional life, they promote experience acquisition and formation of an individual style of work. Professional stereotypes are directly dependent on the nature of performed tasks and their psychological characteristics. Active cognitive processes are the main mechanism behind stereotyping; they include such processes as categorization, schematization and attribution. A formed stable stereotype has both positive and negative values for an individual. The use of stereotypes is positive under standard operating conditions and negative when it is necessary to act beyond the standard operations, at new working conditions with a new regime or if conditions varies or are changed dramatically. In our research, we identified 6 categories of rescuers’ stereotypical ideas related to their professional work: personal qualities; professionally important qualities; stereotypes related to awareness of duty and responsibility; value stereotypes; stereotypes of optimal role behaviour; stereotypes of professional communications and interactions. The article proves that the professional stereotypes of the studied rescuers differ qualitatively depending on the period of their professional work. During professional genesis, the most persistent stereotypes are those related to the ideas on the personal and professionally important qualities needed for rescuers. The most transformative stereotypes are those related to the value of professional work. The ideas about professional responsibilities, characteristics of professional behaviour and features of professional communications are also changed. The psychological diagnostic research results showed the need to provide a social and psychological training in order to form certain components of fire-fighter’s professional consciousness.

Characteristic Features

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and William Hirstein are the authors of the concept of a work of art understood as an exaggerated stimulus in the creative process. The aim of art, according to them, is (a) to show the essence of something in a perceptually accessible way, and (b) to evoke a strong reaction from the recipient. Scientists say that the aim of art is not to perfectly reproduce reality, but to present the very essence of an object, scene or event by exaggerating its most characteristic features, while ignoring non-essential features. The effect of this treatment is a super stimulus, which is a supernatural stimulus that does not exist in the real world. Researchers have proposed seven universal – evolutionarily and culturally – neurological laws of aesthetic experience in relation to the visual arts (painting and sculpture). I propose to extend the tool apparatus of neuroaesthetics from the area of unimodal arts to a work of film art. It is an interesting tool for research into film aesthetics and masterpieces. In this paper, I will discuss these laws and make a representative analysis of them in a visual case study of Michael Almereyda’s film Nadja (1994). The main goal of my work is to show the stricto naturalistic position. Man is not aware that the first stages of cognitive perception have a significant impact on his interest in art, what he pays attention to, and on aesthetic experiences on a sensual, unconscious level. It is an interdisciplinary attempt to provide consistency of research approaches in the humanities with the naturalistic one in the area of natural sciences, which shows that on some levels we are very similar to each other and only in the process of ontogenesis do we acquire individuality – that we are governed by universal laws, not only those related to ourindividual interests and tastes.

Literary Transformations

The article analyzes the poetic interpretation of biographical elements in the works of Volodymyr Bazylevsky. It is noted that the poet follows the modernist tradition to comprehend the biographies of the characters of world history and culture (real names) in order to turn them into precedent figures. The material for such literary transformations is not only real facts from biographies, but also legends and myths that exist in the space of culture. V. Bazylevsky shows interest in world history in general, but his focus is shifted to Ukrainian (Prince Svyatoslav, I. Nechuy-Levytsky, P. Kulish). The choice of biographical material is influenced by a special - "tragically optimistic" - the author's perception of reality, his attitude to tradition, the consistency of life and ideological position of the real-historical character with the problems of today. V. Bazylevsky tends to actualize existential situations, such as "choice", "death", "loneliness", giving biographies of a new interpretation as a synthesis of objective and subjective factors. In this way, V. Bazylevsky creates his own catalog of moral and aesthetic values ​​and positive characters, whose lives are a benchmark for contemporaries. It is generalized that biographical elements in V. Bazylevsky's lyrical texts appear as a part of the great author's myth about the Personality and outline the perspective of research of autobiographical elements as a part of the author's mythology of the Poet.

Malorosiystvo is a social and political, spiritual, ethnic and psychological phenomenon. The long colonial status of the Ukrainian nation, the humiliation of culture and language, the avoiding from anything national, and kowtowing to the imperial are its main features. “Maloros” feels its inferiority, avoids communication in the native language, shows the identity by dressing in national clothes on holidays. Especially detrimental effect of Malorosiystvo is on the creativity of a person. In the article, the author analyzed the views of Ulas Samchuk on the phenomenon of Malorosiystvo. The author examined the artistic interpretation of this destructive phenomenon in the trilogy «Ost», individual thoughts of the writer in the publicistics and documentary. In the trilogy «Ost», U. Samchuk considered Malorosiystvo as a problem of Ukrainian national character, which was formed under the destructive influence of Bolsheviks ideology. At an artistic level, a prose writer explored the spiritual emasculation of Ukrainian creative intellectuals. U. Samchuk analysed the problem of the artist captivity in the Soviet empire. Unification of the creative process, complete control over it, dictates in the choice of themes, plots, characters, arrangement of «correct» ideological accents – all these elements made the creative person completely dependent of the prevailing doctrine. Gradually, the Ukrainian intellectual was either reborn as a representative of collaborative culture, or turned into a spiritual and physical ruin. The author of the trilogy saw the path to national revival in the awakening of the psychological and spiritual forces of every Ukrainian. Such a national aspiration grows out of a deep awareness of their national otherness and belief in their own fullness. The efforts of some individuals lead the nation to consolidation of internal forces, awaken the will and direct actions. U. Samchuk solved the problem of overcoming the disintegration of the Ukrainian soul in fiction by creating of positive characters.

This article is the author’s autoethnographic exploration of change in music education (Randles, 2013, 2015a) as illustrative of a hero collective, a term used here to represent a sociocultural explanation of Campbell’s hero’s journey as outlined in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (2008). The hero collective is a term that is inclusive of all individuals working in the field of music education who would like to see much more diversity in offerings and modes of musicianship represented in the curriculum of primary and secondary (K-12), as well as higher education music. Tensions involved in this pursuit are presented as part of the separation-initiation-return cycle of Campbell’s hero’s journey as expressed specifically by Vogler (2007). The hero collective is proposed to be a more realistic explanation of how to conceptualize the hero’s journey, given the current discourse in the creativity literature around sociocultural as opposed to purely individualized notions of creativity (Sawyer, 2012). The author makes the case, in line with previous work, that curriculum development is a creative process, and that the hero’s journey might be used as one way of conceptualizing what the change process might look like in the real world.

This article is the result of research on the condition of Polish musical comics. The basis of considerations are the comics of Marcin Podolec: Smoke and Fugazi Music Club, two works of Krzysztof Owedyk: Blix and Żorżet and You will be frying in hell, as well as the worst comic of the year by Maciej Pałka and Only calmly Bartek Glazy. The text aims to show the relationships between Polish popular music and comics. Draws attention to the ways of presenting musical subcultures and individual portraits in comic culture. It also introduces the role of memory and nostalgia in the construction of illustrated musical stories in which the real order mixes with the imaginary. The article points to the common points of these works and takes into account the most important shortcomings of all six comics. It highlights the marginalization of the role of women, both in the creative process and the discussed cultural texts. Using the theories of Jacques Ranciere and Robin, James raises the question of male dominance in the Polish music comic, while shedding light on the Polish music scene.

The article deals with the process of training of the Galician Army officers and soldiers. The main subdivisions were mobilized soldiers where teaching method were specified. Among them the infantry’s training of military district teams in Stryy, Stanislav and Kolomyya were the most successful. The Artillery had been taught in the spare units in Zolochiv, Kolomyya, Ternopil, Stryi and Chortkiv. The Aviation school operated in Krasne. On the territory of the Nadniprianschyna preparation was conducted at cabinet-type maneuvers, although the real studying was impossible because of frequent changes of situation. The only exception was the artillery schools, which trained several dozen artillery officers. The important part of military training and the maintenance of discipline in units was the officers’ charisma. Not only the successful operation, attack or defense, but also the life of the staff depended on their personal qualities. The reasons of the disciplinary infringements were: the quality of mobilized soldiers (ideology, war fatigue ect.); agitation and propaganda; lack of a national uniform, low wages, problems with technical and financial support. All the violations were severely punished by the command (degradation in rank, arrest, whipping, hanging or shooting). The soldiers received appropriate remuneration and awards for their courage and dedication.

В статье автор с использованием принципов системного анализа рассматривает некоторые особенности достаточно молодого искусства – дирижёрского – в динамике его генезиса и развития, обусловленного поступательной эволюцией музыкального искусства в целом. С позиций педагогической праксеологии на конкретных примерах выдающихся исполнителей (Арнольда Каца, Евгения Мравинского, Герберта фон Караяна, Александра Свешникова и др.) описаны профессиональные и личностные качества, которыми должен обладать дирижёр оркестра или хора (особенно начинающий дирижёр), показаны особенности творческого взаимодействия руководителя коллектива и исполнителей. Характеризуя дирижирование как объект визуального восприятия, автор выделяет ведущую роль Ильи Александровича Мусина в становлении техники дирижёрского искусства в России, обозначении главенствующей роли жестов «триады» – «внимание», «дыхание», или «ауфтакт», и «атака звука». При этом, определяя истинную природу искусства дирижирования, автор статьи отмечает единство двух основных составляющих: технической стороны и выразительной. Подчёркивая первичность постановки, технической оснащённости мануального аппарата, автор актуализирует значимость художественного прочтения дирижёрского жеста, предполагающего эмоциональное выражение замысла, краски, души композитора.In the article, from the standpoint of system analysis the author considers some features of a fairly young conductor art in the dynamics of its genesis and development, due to the progressive evolution of musical art in general. From the standpoint of pedagogical praxeology, specific examples of outstanding performers (Arnold Katz, Evgeny Mravinsky, Herbert Von Karayan, Alexander Sveshnikov, and others) describe the professional and personal qualities that an orchestra conductor or choir should possess (especially a novice conductor), and features of the creative interaction of the leader collective and performers. Describing conduction as an object of visual perception, the author identifies the leading role of Ilya Aleksandrovich Musin in the formation of the technique of conducting art in Russia, designating the gestures of “triad” – “attention”, “breath” or “auftakt” and “attack of sound”. At the same time, determining the true nature of the art of conducting, the unity of the two main components is noted – the technical side and the expressive one. Emphasizing the primacy of the production, the technical equipment of the manual apparatus, the author updates the significance of the artistic interpretation of the conductor’s gesture, which presupposes the emotional expression of the intention, color, soul of the composer.
