The article deals with the problem of definitions and boundaries of concepts widely used in modern postindustrial culture, scientific and public discourse: «mass», «popular», «academic», «classical», «elite» music. Mass music has several features that are largely determined by the specifics of the socio-cultural and technical development of society in the post-industrial era. However, the loosely applied term «popular» in relation to this direction of music is inaccurate, since not only the works of mass music become well-known, but also classical, academic. In the conditions of post-industrial culture, works of not only mass, but also academic, elite music are used as entertainment, and as a commodity of «organized consumer culture», receiving, among other things, the status of «popular», which is not identical in essence to the concept of «pop music», which is one of the directions of mass music as a cultural phenomenon of the XX century. The consideration of the essential aspects of the musical directions of mass and elite music leads to the conclusion about the social conditionality of the vector of development and their demand in the conditions of modern culture.

How are spiritual power and self-transformation cultivated in street ministries? This book provides an in-depth analysis of Pentecostal ministries in Puerto Rico that were founded and run by self-identified “ex-addicts,” ministries that are also widespread in poor Black and Latino neighborhoods in the U.S. mainland. The book melds cultural anthropology and psychiatry. Through the stories of ministry converts, the book examines key elements of Pentecostalism: mysticism, ascetic practice, and the idea of other-worldliness. It then reconstructs the ministries' strategies of spiritual victory over addiction: transformation techniques to build spiritual strength and authority through pain and discipline; cultivation of alternative masculinities based on male converts' reclamation of domestic space; and radical rupture from a post-industrial “culture of disposability.” By contrasting the ministries' logic of addiction with that of biomedicine, the book rethinks roads to recovery, discovering unexpected convergences with biomedicine while revealing the allure of street corner ministries.

As a counterargument to the Cartesian split that has impacted both speculative and practical fields of knowledge and culture, we propose Peirce’s doctrine of synechism to show the continuity in the semiotic activity that moves from the body as an Interpretant to the emergence of another Interpretant called the “self.” Biosemiotics, a nascent field of interdisciplinary research that tackles inquiries about signs, communication, and information involving living organisms is used as the framework in the discussion. The main question of whether a non-material “self” can emerge from a material body is tackled in many stages. First, the biosemiotic continuum is established in the natural biological processes that takes place in the body. These processes can be taken as an autonomous semiotic system generating the “language” of the body or the Primary Modeling System (PMS). Second, synechism is also observed in the relationship between the mind and the body and this is evident in any physician’s clinical practice. The patient creates a Secondary Modeling System (SMS) of how she perceives what the body communicates to her regarding its state or condition. Finally, the question about whether the emergence of “self” is synechistic as well is tackled. There is one organ from which emerges an Interpretant that is capable of generating a dialog between a Subject, that is the “self,” with its Object, and that is the brain. It is the primordial seat of specifically human activities like thought and language. The recent theory on quantum consciousness supports the doctrine synechism between the body as Interpretant to the “self” as Interpretant. This synechism is crucial for the creation of Secondary Models of “reality” that will, in turn, determine the creation of Tertiary Models more familiarly called culture.

The mind cannot imagine that any science shows enrichment without the need for this Because true science is a reaction to a scientific problem in society and a necessity to open what is closed to understand it, and scientific convergence between nations is one of the most important problems that need channels of communication that help in understanding the culture of the other and understanding the other. Our culture, We now live in a small world dominated by information technology and digital computers, and the communication process is very fast and easy,This undoubtedly makes the process of communication between communities very easy and gives a great demand for understanding the languages of others village that brings the distant closer and draws explicit features in the mind of society, and all of this needs a clarification of terms and keeping pace with their formations, and this understanding must be based on a special scientific perspective devoid of emotional inclination and cloaked in a scientific scarf,This understanding and perspective grows in an important angle in language as it is the image and mirror that reflects human culture. Language is the vessel of thought, and this language in our world is no longer confined to what is scattered on the peaks of the Arabian desert, and therefore dictionaries came to form important features of intellectual communication at the level of language and culture. And this art is authentic in languages, especially Arabic, and because of the flexibility of Arabic and its ability to accept the stranger in sound, morphology, and semantics, as it expanded to receive the ancient Arabizer, so it flaunted it with its originality to be an Arab or to wear the dress of the Arabic inflection and its significance, Flexibility of Arabic has developed with us as a lexical extension that helped accept the other, keep up with him and communicate with him without that at the expense of the origin. And the formation of scientific visions that help in rooting the linguistic link away from bias, and these special linguistic dictionaries are cultural formations that were limited to one linguistic color, and this keeps pace with the era of speed in specialization and understanding terms away from stuffiness, repetition and chaos overlapping linguistic levels.

Today, new technologies for creating information products are being actively developed. Information technology and innovation are becoming the main products of the post-industrial economy. Currently, the mechanism of trade transactions with those types of intangible goods is being fundamentally changed, people have the opportunity to choose sources of information, the number of channels is growing, etc. That ultimately leads to increased information openness of the world. The development of the Internet leads to an increase in interpersonal communications, and that, in turn, changes the public structure of society.
