The article “Problems of defining folk dance in Latvia today” examines the aspects that affect the current situation in Latvia, where folk dances are understood as both folk dances that have not been modified by choreographers, dances passed down through generations that can be danced every day, and stage folk dances, which are a type of art performed by folk dance ensembles, created by choreographers and dances adapted to the stage performance. The research aim is to identify and describe the problems that currently exist in the Latvian cultural space, where the definition of folk dances creates tension in the public space and ambiguous opinions among dancers. Nowadays, it is possible to identify such concepts as, for example, folk dance, ethnographic dance, authentic dance, traditional dance, folklore dance, folk dance, folk dance adaptation, field dance, folk ballet, etc. Consistent use of concepts is rarely seen in the documents and research of cultural policymakers and the historical and contemporary works of choreographers and researchers. Often they are only described in general terms. A survey conducted in 2019 shows that dancers consider stage folk dances to be folk dances, and often this separation of dances is not important for them. Another problem is the designation of folk dance ensembles where stage folk dance dancers are dancing. The term misleads; it suggests that folk dances are danced there. However, this designation is linked to its historical time of origin. It is not insignificant that the stage folk dance is more popular, more visible, and massively represented at the Song and Dance Festival. Thus, a part of the society associates it with our folk dances.

The article deals with the managing process of the formation, development and reproduction of national intellectual resources of public administration (IRPA), which includes their use and reproduction; their structure and their function characteristics are revealed; the author's definition of the concept of "national intellectual resource of public administration" is proposed; the importance of managing national intellectual resources of public administration for modern public-management practice is characterized. It is argued that the peculiarity of national IRPAs lies in their flexibility, in that the process of their formation takes place in a separate national- cultural space, which is influenced by historical, political, educational, information and other factors. It is proved that the management of the national IRPA is a process of purposeful influence on the components of the national IRPA, their interaction in order to secure the state's advantages in the modern world or to achieve its development goals. The factors that determine the need for the formation, development, use and reproduction of national IRPA s are revealed.

Is dedicated to the definition of its typical features. The essence and content of this style is linked to the substitution of the dynamical principle by the extensive one in the processual existence of culture together with the formation of the intentional reflection with the cultural space. The latter simulates the related intentionally connotative senses and stipulates the appropriate style of cultural entity - the intentional style.

The article studies various representations of the concept “Guˮ (“Heartˮ) in Circassian culture. The authors offer a definition of the concept as one of the most significant components of the specific development of the world in traditional societies. For a more detailed consideration of the issue, a historiographical review of those theories that have had a significant impact on the cultural understanding of axiological, moral, and psychological aspects of various conceptual spheres is carried out. This work presents the results of an ethnographic study of the problem, which allows us to make a conclusion that the concept of “Guˮ is universal in the ethnocultural picture of the world.

Advertising is an undisputed reality of the contemporary world, being a form of communication present both in and beyond mass media. With the evolution of the society, new means of expression have emerged and determined an expansion of the range of advertising products offered for information, persuasion and, why not, for enjoyment. However, as advertising expanded its scope, the meanings attributed to the concept began to change and broaden at the same time. In the Romanian cultural space, this evolution of the concept, as well as the increasing presence of English in all instances of communication have led to a dynamisation of the process of defining advertising, especially due to the new meanings revealed by the definition of the concept in English. In this context, the present article aims to highlight the existence of some discrepancies between the definition of the concept and the terminology already established in Romanian, on the one hand, and to offer solutions that smooth the way to a better equivalence of the meanings assigned to the concept in the process of translating it from Romanian into English, on the other hand. Considering the problem statement, our own observations and the data collected from the online survey carried out among the students pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Communication Sciences, two definitions of the Romanian concepts of publicitate and reclamă are put forth in order to bridge the conceptual gap existing in the Romanian cultural space.

The article presents the results of the analysis of geek-culture as a youth sociocultural phenomenon of contemporary Russian society. The author paid special attention to the ideas of Alvin Toffler, who revealed the trend of fragmentation of society into mini-cultures that eventually turn into subcultures. New modern subcultural associations do not try to isolate themselves from the universal cultural space. They seek to integrate into the world cultural space. The result is the formation of super-subcultures. One of such supersubcultures is the geek-culture, which is actively developing both in Western and Russian societies. The empirical base of the study was the results of B. Sattles’ research, based on data of the social network “Twitter”. The author paid attention to social and journalistic interpretation of this phenomenon. The peculiarity of the work is the author’s definition of geek-culture and specification of its key constituent elements, based on empirical research.

The relevance of the definition of the phenomenon of dialogue of cultures in Stravinsky's music is noted. I. Stravinsky was a philosopher in music, had his own poetics, aesthetics, his own definition of the phenomenology of music, which developed in the rather complex realities and adequations of the cultural space of the twentieth century. The dialogue of cultures can be defined as a vertical, different cultural contexts are actualized in a work of art, which makes them sound in unison. Allusions, polystylistics, even eclecticism are signs of the dialogue of cultures as an immanent reality of cultural interaction in the work of I. Stravinsky.

This essay explores the ways in which the definition of Indian culture has become a site of contest, and how this contest played out in the controversy that erupted over the release and screening of Deepa Mehta's diasporic film, Fire, in India. I locate this controversy within the broader controversies that are taking place over culture, particularly when issues of sex and sexuality are involved. The continuous targeting of representations of sex and sexuality, betrays an underlying fear that sex is something that is threatening to Indian cultural values, to the Indian way of life, to the very existence of the Indian nation. I discuss the responses to the release of the film by the forces of the Hindu Right as well as feminist and lesbian groups and critique the uncomplicated understandings of culture that informed these positions. Contingent upon these responses rests the story in Fire and the way in which the lesbian subject, a sexual subaltern, is constructed in the cultural space represented in the film. I challenge the positions that suggest that the women are represented as victims in the film, and draw attention to the cultural, sexual and familial ruptures brought about by the main protagonists through their desire for one another. I explore the complicated understandings of agency and desire that are represented through the assertion of this relationship.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.
