Fifteen years ago, the British religious scholar Christopher Partridge proposed the concept of the occulture. Since then, it has been actively used as a working model for analyzing the forms of existence of esoteric elements in modern culture. When Partridge created his concept, he drew on the situation of the late 90s and early 2000s, a time when esoteric elements were entrenched in the culture. The distance between us and Partridge’s work was bound to make adjustments to his theory, to determine the extent of these adjustments, we turn to contemporary narratives that have become hubs of esoteric mythology. Analyzing the screen culture, Partridge separately focused on the case of “The X-files”. For him, this show was the “strongest metatext” that condensed various narratives of the occulture. In the year of Partridge’s book’s release, a new show, “Supernatural”, was released. This show has become a new meta-text, accumulating almost the entire array of esoteric mythology accumulated over the centuries of deviant religiosity...

The Great War

Isaac Bayley Balfour was a systematist specializing in Sino-Himalayan plants. He enjoyed a long and exceptionally distinguished academic career yet he was knighted, in 1920, “for services in connection with the war”. Together with an Edinburgh surgeon, Charles Cathcart, he had discovered in 1914 something well known to German doctors; dried Sphagnum (bog moss) makes highly absorptive, antiseptic wound dressings. Balfour directed the expertise and resources of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (of which he was Keeper), towards the identification of the most useful Sphagnum species in Britain and the production of leaflets telling collectors where to find the moss in Scotland. By 1918 over one million such dressings were used by British hospitals each month. Cathcart's Edinburgh organisation, which received moss before making it into dressings, proved a working model soon adopted in Ireland, and later in both Canada and the United States.

Drawing on recent work in secularism, this paper argues that religion exerts force in modern culture without anyone needing to beleive or practice a particular religion. This is especially the case with respect issues of sexuality. The paper uses the Introductory course as a way of exploring how, when it comes ot sexuality, religion still speaks us.

Quantitative Indicators

The transformation of scientific genres in the context of the general digitalization of modern culture is considered. It is shown that the speech genre content of this process is based on the mechanisms of generation and transformation of the text of two types, the interpretation of which can be useful in order to better understand the nature, tasks and tools of scientometry at this stage, and in order to better understand the speech genre structure of scientific speech. Firstly, the structural requirements for articles and monographs indexed in scientometric systems (Scopus, WoS, DOAJ, RSCI, etc.) are approved and streamlined, and thereby our knowledge of what an article is from its structure (i.e. knowledge about the genre of the article). Secondly, the requirements of indexing systems lead to the fact that the texts of articles change, they are “written differently”, and sometimes redone after appropriate recommendations from publishers. The points highlighted in scientometric systems can be understood as signs that an article must comply with in order to be assigned to the “speech genre of a scientific article”. The largest quantitative indicators for these items are indicators of how close to the core of the genre this or that text will turn out.
