Ancient Christianity

This article considers the intersection of Christian and imperial memory in the physical Gospel book. Besides describing the function of gospel books in the post-Constantine Roman Empire, it examines the connection between the Roman construction and production of sites of memory that established Roman imperium in the Mediterranean and the development of the Christian Gospel codex as a site of memory within Christianity. It also explores the related issues of imperial and divine power as manifest through material things, the rhetoric of seeing and iconicity, and the invented tradition of Christian orthodoxy. The article shows that the Christian Gospels and Roman sites of memory, despite a vast difference in their intended functions and original uses, both established imperium. It maintains that the creation of the Gospels' imperial iconicity was not based on their function as texts of spiritual enlightenment in late ancient Christianity, but on the fact that the production of Gospels as material cultural objects depended on Roman cultural exemplars and ideological rhetoric.

Privately Owned

The thesis determines under which conditions privately owned cultural objects have an identity-forming effect on Germany's culture and are to be entered in the so-called register of nationally valuable cultural goods. It then designs a checklist for the application of these undefined and ideologically connoted legal terms. According to the Cultural Property Protection Act, nationally valuable cultural goods are subject to an export ban. In this way, the state interferes with the freedom of ownership, since the sale of these cultural assets abroad is practically impossible and their value is diminished. The work is not only aimed at legal practitioners in the administration and courts, but above all at private owners of cultural property.

A research of creative economy is impossible without an in-depth review of the existing approaches to its study. By analyzing approaches to the study of creative economy through the prism of most popular theses and ideas of prominent researchers in this field, e. g. J. Ruijssenaars, Suciu М.-С., Howkins J., Florida R. and others, it is revealed that the creative economy is a new type of the economy with the culture in its core with its clearly established and commonly accepted components which, at the same time, constitute its fundamental parts: talent, creativity and tolerance. But these components are integrated in each of the industries that are creative economy components, namely: cultural objects, traditional types of cultural self-expression, performing arts, media, audiovisual activities, artistic creation, printing and publishing, design and engineering practices in the field industrial production, creative services. Such combination of the material and the spiritual in each of the aforesaid industries complicates their investigation and analysis for a researcher. Given that now each of these industries develops in the conditions of intersecting three vectors, technological-digital, creative and entrepreneurial, there appears a need in organizing and conducting additional monitoring, in employing alternative and unorthodox methods for analysis and providing well-grounded and sound opinions concerning creative economy development. It is supposed in the article that in line of the creative circle of Howkins J. a successful creative idea (or product) developed or improved by use of technological-digital means and with support from business will be profitable in future.

22.06.2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the prominent Soviet diplomat, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR L. N. Musatov (1921–2001). His handwritten legacy reflects the stages of a great life, from the party leadership (since 1957-second secretary of the Ulyanovsk Regional Party Committee) to work in the USSR Foreign Ministry, where he became "one of the best ambassadors"-Africanists. Ambassador to Mali (late 1965–1970), Guinea (1973–1978), Guinea-Bissau (1974–1975), Madagascar (1980–1986), he always worked with enthusiasm, achieving great achievements, for which he was awarded orders. He was a non-capitalist theorist with an "African face", in the most flexible economic forms. He focused on economic diplomacy, the study of which during the Soviet period is just beginning. These developing countries now rely on the bauxite plant in Guinea, Kindia, a cement plant and gold mining in Mali. L. N. Musatov emphasized common values in the development of cooperation, the donation of cultural objects, the sending of Africans to study in the USSR, which helped to form a benevolent elite towards Russia. Such facts contributed to the birth of the traditions of Russian-African cooperation and the holding of the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi in 2019, as well as to the adoption of strategic decisions on the revival of bilateral cooperation. L. N. Musatov made a great contribution to the study of classical diplomacy, "the diplomacy of trust " (first, on the experience of his communication with the President of Madagascar). He loved working with people, and a whole galaxy of new Russian diplomats with the rank of ambassadors and envoys came out of his embassies. In general, the memory of a diplomat is determined not only and not so much by appointments and business trips, but by the creative contribution of everyone in their field of work, embodied in constructive deeds. Only they remain in history and are in demand by descendants.

Cultural Object

The article deals with the problem of semantic perception of a creolized text consisting of an image and a word denoting the depicted cultural object. The experiment is aimed at solving the problem of the influence of the non-speech component on the understanding of a speech message. In the course of the experiment carried out using Ch. Osgood’s method of semantic differential, the subjects recorded the results of the experiment using questionnaires, in which they reflected their mental images formed during the semantic perception of the creolized text. The study showed that the content of the creolized text differs from the content of both the image and the word denoting it. These differences arise due to the functional and substantial qualities of the depicted cultural objects, since the content of these objects is the content of the words themselves that denote them. Consequently, CT has an enriched content that is different from the content of the object’s image and its verbal designation.
