Abstract Silence became one of the important aspects of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article discusses how this social experience was presented in radio reportages, for which silence is not only a topic but also an element of the construction of the message. The reports of the Polish Radio, produced in lockdown conditions, document silence in a double perspective: the transformation of the broadcast sphere of large metropolises and the private sound space of the characters. Silence, as a phonic phenomenon, functions as a universal metaphor for fear, threat, “curse of isolation,” but also hope. Experiencing silence goes beyond the individual feeling thanks to a metaphoric line through which the recorded stories gain a universal context. The analysis of audible materials shows the mechanism of the constitution of these meanings, as well as selected media functions of silence as a tool for modelling content and managing the recipients’ attention.

The writing produced in workshops explored varied forms of expression including autobiography, short stories, dialect, drama, poetry and novels. Overall there were significant debates about the nature and meaning of working class writing and whether it had any distinctive features. Divisions between forms of writing were actively challenged and new forms of subjectivity and ways of representing experience were developed. However, there were also pressures to write within existing forms. New modes of expression could become tiring after a time when different approaches were required. Overall writing in the Fed was marked by the creative interpretation of experience and vernacular voice. It reveals tensions between bearing witness and creative interpretation and between representing a collective social experience and the individual life story.

The concepts of bystander, counter-public witness, and implicated subject allow to understand the artist’s site and point toward Holocaust bystanders in Poland. Localized experience of the past violence is analyzed in the article in relation to trauma theory but trauma is understood here beyond the individual level, as a shared, cultural, and social experience.

That man's social instincts and emotions have been intimately bound up with his religious emotions and ideas is, happily, in no danger of being forgotten. Through the cumulative impact of many motives, we are learning to look to man's social experience for such insight as the analysis of individual experience seemed not to afford. Thus far, the most striking instance of this—at least in the popular mind—is in the domain of morals. Conscience, when viewed as the possession and experience of the individual alone, has every appearance of something sacred and imperious, absolute and inexplicable. But once let conscience be put into the crucible of anthropology and social psychology, and its mysteriousness and absoluteness seem to have vanished. We see its function and we comprehend its genesis. It is simply the echo within the individual of the past experience of the race, an inherited instinct, which has a definite survival value in the struggle for existence. It would hardly be fair to say that every question about the meaning and worth of conscience is forthwith settled. Concerning the ultimate inferences to be drawn from the undoubted fact that conscience has had a history within man's social experience, there is much which may easily escape us in our first enthusiasm for the concepts of history, development, and social experience.

These submissions indicate that the formation of the social experience of senior residential care tailored to the psychosomatic health should be based on a set of focused consistent action of psycho-pedagogical and medico-social nature, aimed at enhancing the adaptive capacity of the individual (psychological stability, physical readiness, communicative behavior, moral and normative indicators of socialization) and providing self-determination of students.

Mnemonic Function

Memory is one of the key concepts in A. Platonov’s creativity. The writer also implements the mnemonic function of literature in his military stories. The article analyzes representations of memory mechanisms in Platonic military prose in the context of the «memorial turn» of modern humanitarian knowledge. The article considers the possibility of applying to it the approaches developed in the «memorial studies» in relation to various forms and types of memory, the dynamics of the interaction of remembering and oblivion, individual and collective, communicative and cultural memory, ways of memorization. Memory appears as a meaningful and multi-valued cultural and psychological phenomenon expressing the anthropology of war. The range of manifestations of memory in the form of private and social experience, cultural and historical traditions is diverse. The writer's military prose can be seen as a metaphor for a battle, coupled with heroism and tragedy. Within the individual and in society, different layers of memory, memory and forgetting collide. The concept «consolation» is closely connected with memory. The stories also show the trials of memory. To express the mnemonic, the writer used the concepts «аnguish», «grief» and « suffering». Platonov’s arguments were built in two directions – from the point of view of the limited possibilities of the individual’s memory and in the aspect of the «eternal memory» that overcomes it. Mnemotopics of stories offers ways for salvation by memory in the form of communication between present and former generations, the living and the dead. The writer's perception of the memorial as an important factor of citizenship is significant.

Images Of The Future

The social-anthropological dimension of human life is considered in the inseparable unity of the process of activity and life strategies, which is associated with the process of its socialization, the formation of appropriate images of the future. Activity as a universal characterization of a person’s relation to the surrounding world reveals the essential features of a person as an active being aimed at the creative transformation of the external world and of himself. The activity has a subject-transformational character and is connected with the whole assignment, that is, the realization of the purpose and means of its achievement. The life activity of a person determines the process of organizing its life on the basis of social, psychological and biological activity and covers all the directions of its changes, the qualitative variety of these changes. The personality of a person is formed and developed as a result of the influence of various factors, objective and subjective, natural and social. The child acts as the subject of the formation of his own personality, that is, the formation of himself as a social being as a result of the influence of the environment on it and the system of upbringing. In the environment, the child is socialized. On the one hand, the individual assimilates social experience, values, norms, settings, peculiar to society, society and social groups to which he belongs, and on the other hand, he is actively involved in the system of social connections, whose enthusiasm acquires social experience. The article examines the problem of social and anthropological measurement of the child’s life in the context of pre-school education. On the basis of philosophical and scientific-pedagogical literature, the concept of «socialization», «activity» is highlighted. The hypothesis concerning the decisive role of social interaction in the development of thinking is considered. It is determined that from the early age children form ideas about such concepts as «friendship», «justice», «individuality», «authority». The age-old peculiarities of the children of the senior preschool age are substantiated, and it is proved that the most important need of the child is the desire to live with the people who surround it, the common life, to enter into direct contact with them, to constantly intersect with the adult world.

Tantric Practice

Chapter 4 examines the interrelationship between religion and society for followers of the non-dual Tantric Śaiva tradition. It explores the new Tantric identities created through initiation and asks how these new identities impact the larger social experience of practitioners. It then reflects on the origin of Tantric practice and maps how Tantra seeks to subvert the social caste paradigm. The chapter examines the theories about the historical spread of Tantric practice by consulting textual descriptions of practices that are prescribed for members of different castes. This offers a humanizing look at the individual needs and actions of practitioners. It makes the argument that caste erasure was limited to the ritual sphere and was therefore symbolic. The philosophical ideal of the vanquishment of caste distinction is compared with the social necessity for hierarchy. The chapter also explores the nature of auspicious and inauspicious symbols related to initiation.

Religion in society is known to be an important factor in people's social interaction because it provides a certain type of communication. In the process of such communication, the necessary information and social experience of previous generations is transmitted. Therefore, religion is to some extent a historical memory of the community. Defining itself in certain sign systems (oral traditions in ancient times, later - in the "sacred books", confessional languages, etc.), social experience of past generations becomes public and becomes the property of new generations of people. From now on, it is no longer necessary for each individual individually to experience everything in their own experience. The individual experience of a person may to some extent be replaced by the results of the experience of their predecessors, and therefore the need to "invent a bicycle" every time

Great Danger

This chapter addresses individual experience and social experiences as sources of religious insight. The essential conditions for discovering that man needs salvation are these: one must find that human life has some highest end; and one must also find that man, as he naturally is, is in great danger of failing to attain this supreme goal. If one discovers these two facts, then the quest for the salvation of man interests him, and is defined for him in genuinely empirical terms. To conceive the business of religion in this way connects religion with personal and practical interests and with the spirit of all serious endeavor. Meanwhile, society, in a certain sense, both includes and transcends the individual man. Perhaps, then, something can be done toward solving the problem of the religious paradox, and toward harmonizing the varieties of religious opinion, by considering the religious meaning of people's social consciousness.
