The World

Is space relevant in a debate over the ethical dimension of a literary work? If we understand it as Foucault[1], Lefebvre[2], Soja[3] or Marc Auger[4] do, it is. In Andre Norton’s The Crossroads of Time[5], many worlds coexist as versions of an original earth, ruined by wars whose memories set agents under cover travelling across in order to defend what had remained of humanity besieged by monsters against a universal murderer, Kmoat Vo Pranj. The characters’ psychic powers depend on their interference with the environment – an idea probably originating with quantum experiments whose results depend on the interference of the measuring equipment with the system. An agent talks about alternative histories in an ecological version which relates individuals’ growth or success to favourable conditions in the world out there, to their or society’s benefit

Abstract Although globalization processes have brought the world closer through the exchange of knowledge, ideas and practices, advances in knowledge dissemination have not been mirrored by expansion in sites and modes of knowledge production. This article probes this disjuncture and asks how deglobalization might chart different pathways by delving into the intellectual history of the making of International Relations (IR). Focusing its gaze on the structuring principles of knowledge creation and modes of knowing rather than specific issues and problematiques of IR, it analyses the historical impact of western Enlightenment thinking through centuries-long imperialism, which continues to limit the agency of many states in the re-making of their life-worlds. The article describes deglobalization as a longue durée historical response that offers different possibilities for countering or challenging the discursive hegemony of the ‘West’. It discusses a ‘nationalist’ response by China—a rising power and a more dispersed, global academic endeavour seeking to decolonize IR's modes of knowledge production to better account for the diverse ground realities of its many worlds.

The purpose of the article is to determine the place of Ukrainian art during the active transformations of the world art space. The scientific novelty lies in the study of the world's leading art fairs and the participation of Ukrainian artists in these platforms of the art market, as well as the analysis of modern leading Ukrainian art fairs and festivals. Methodology. The main methodological approach in determining the place of Ukrainian art during the active transformations of the world art space is the structural-system approach, and when analyzing the activities of leading Ukrainian art fairs in the context of world art development - the contextual method. The applied methods allowed to determine the main vectors of development of the private art segment of Ukrainian art of the 1990s - 2020s. Conclusions. In recent years, a new global art space has been formed and developed in the art world. Traditionally, the Western world dictates the rules of world art, but the exotic nature of everything that comes from the North and Eastis of interest to art lovers and professionals. Renewal of the cultural and artistic process in Ukraine at the beginning of the XXI century. and powerful social changes became the basis for many art festivals and art fairs of both regional and national scale. Initiatives of independent curators and gallerists' search for new formats for demonstrating the artistic achievements of Ukrainian artists have inspired the emergence of a number of interdisciplinary cultural projects of national importance. These artistic events set the vector for the development of communication in the modern cultural sphere. In general, Ukrainian art is developing several parallel coordinate systems that operate on different principles and offer different agendas. Among the latest trends that determine its development - digitalization, virtualization, commercialization, blurring the boundaries between elite and mass art, loss of integrity, polystylistic aspect, exemption from any rules of regulation. Like world cultural projects, Ukrainian festivals and art fairs are a type of artistic form of actualization of contemporary art and its interaction with society. For example, Kyiv Art Week is a landmark event in the cultural space of Ukraine, which brings together influential artists, collectors, and representatives of many worlds and Ukrainian cultural institutions.

Modern Vision

The article analyzes the crisis in the development of modern Ukrainian society with its characteristics such as the magnitude and consistency; special emphasis is placed on such negative signs of the younger generation outlook of Ukrainians as a lack of spirituality and excessive materialization. Certain changes to overcome these deep problems are possible, by providing the view of a man through the prism of polysystemic knowledge which considers man as a member living in many worlds at the same time - the world of the family, the world of the ethnic group, class world, the world of nature and society.In the context of polysystemic knowledge, design acquires a special sounding such as philosophical, activity and creative and educational system. The prospects and the effectiveness of this system is determined by a wide palette of tools (by creatively converting to educational), aimed to spiritual formation and harmonious development of personality.Environmental design is one of the latest paradigm of modern vision of planetary reality, when the environment gets their properties already in the artistic and technical creativity. Ecological design is a general indication of the vision ofmodern man as a social and, above all, biological being, which seeks to live in harmony with the nature.The article provides the definition and reveals semantic content of the definition of “The idea of man and nature unity” in the context of a systematic approach; analyzes the modern design trends from the perspective of polysystemic fact of the idea of man and nature unity. The historical development of mankind, with the exception of its modern realities, has always been characterized by the organic unity of man and nature: a close relationship with the mentality of the country, with natural  and climatic conditions of the respective areas formed the human world from the earliest historical eras. The article explains the dual nature of modern design depending on environmental and national components. The environmental movement, that is gaining a great momentum in design and culture, dues to two trends. The first - the ecology of culture - is trying to “raise” etnonature and is connected with the revival of national identity. Another trend - the ecology of nature - is associated with overcoming of disastrous imbalance in the natural environment. These two defining trends are in close intercommunication – cultural environment is impossible without natural basis and ecology of nature is impossible without cultural man.
