В рамках дополнительного образования воспитание детей начинается с приобщения к народным традициям, музыкальному фольклору. Одной из форм вовлечения детей в народно-певческое исполнительство является фольклорный ансамбль, на занятиях которого формируются навыки исполнения народных песен. На основе комплексного, диалектического, сравнительно-сопоставительного, логического подходов, а также теоретического анализа психолого-педагогической и методической литературы, обоснован процесс формирования навыков исполнения песен в рамках народных традиций в фольклорном ансамбле, осуществляемого в условиях дополнительного образования. At present, additional education is especially important, within the framework of which a person’s upbringing begins with an introduction to folk traditions, musical folklore. One of the forms of involving children in folk singing performance is a folklore ensemble, in the classroom of which the skills of performing folk songs are formed. The methodological guidelines were complex, dialectical, comparative-contrastive, logical approaches, as well as theoretical analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature. In the course of the research, the process of forming the skills of performing songs within the framework of folk traditions in a folklore ensemble, carried out in conditions of additional education, has been substantiated. The skills of performing folk songs in a folklore ensemble include: skills of folklore intonation (smooth sound science; natural sound formation; use of both head and chest resonators; improvisational approach to singing and lyrics); singing skills; skills in performing polyphonic tunes of heterophonic style, style of two-, three-, four-voice drone polyphony, etc. The main repertoire of the folklore ensemble is samples of folk musical art. Folk musical art is an art of a special kind, which is characterized by tradition, syncretism, variability, collectivity, emotional saturation, a combination of the universal and the national. Taking into account these features of musical folklore leads to the definition of special pedagogical principles for mastering folk musical art. One of the leading principles on which the development of musical folklore is based is the legibility of the transmission of musical material. The principle of improvisation comes from the very nature of folk art. He suggests that the development of folklore should be creative. The principle of combining individual and integrated approaches in teaching the folklore tradition of performance presupposes the combination of collective and individual creativity. The principle of syncretism involves the use of various types of activities in the classroom – singing, dancing, playing instruments. The principle of confidential communication between a teacher and children presupposes open, emotional relations between the participants of the folklore action. The principle of ensemble teaching will allow you to teach how to adapt your voice to the overall sound, organically including it in the overall performance. The mastering of a folk song is distinguished by its great originality and requires the teacher to implement all the principles that reflect the specificity of musical folklore.

Singing being the most natural and spontaneous form of music making, its universal cultivation knows no bounds in time or place. However, for practical purposes, the following references are mainly concerned with European-style solo secular vocal music from medieval times to the present day. Yet even within that time frame and geography it is not easy to define solo secular vocal music, often known as “art song,” a slightly broader term, as that repertory sometimes includes songs with a religious or spiritual text. The difficulty in finding a watertight definition of solo secular vocal music is that there is often an overlap with other forms and types. Folk songs, for example, have often been incorporated into classical repertory, but folk song is an enormous area in its own right and needs its own bibliographical resources. A similar overlap occurs with indigenous songs from various cultures, as do popular songs. Into the latter category are those by George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and others in the early years of the 20th century. However, most of the songs of these brilliant composers—even those whose compositions became classics of their kind—were originally written for musicals and as such are better treated as music for theater or cabaret rather than in the present category. Thus, with some exceptions, the sources listed below relate to solo songs not primarily composed for liturgical, religious, or theatrical purposes.

The research “Echoes of Latvian Dainas in the Lyrics of Velta Sniķere” examines motifs and fragments of Latvian folk songs in the poetry by Sniķere. Several poems that directly reveal the montage of folk songs are selected as research objects. Linguistic, semantic, hermeneutical and historical as well as literary methods were used in poetry analysis. The research emphasizes the importance of Latvian folklore in the process of Latvian exile literature, the genesis of modern lyrics, and the philosophical conception of the poet. Latvian folk songs in the lyrics of Sniķere are mainly perceived as a source of ancient knowledge and as a path to the Indo-European first language, prehistoric time, which is understood only in a poetic state. Often, the montage of Latvian folk songs or their fragments in the lyrics of Sniķere is revealed as a reflexive reverence that creates a semantic fracture and opposition between profane and sacred view. The insertion of a song in the poem alters the rhythmic and phonetic sound: a free and sometimes dissonant article is replaced by a harmonic trochee, while an internationalism saturated language is replaced by a simple, phonetically effective language composed of alliterations and assonances. The montage of folk songs in a poem is justified by the necessity to restore the Latvian identity in exile, to restore the memory of ancient, mythical knowledge, to represent the understanding of beauty and other moral-ethical values and to show the thought activity. Common mythical images in the lyrics of Sniķere are snake, wind, gold, silver, stone etc. The Latvian folk song symbolism and lifestyle of the poet are organically synthesized with the insights of Indian philosophy.

AbstractEmpirical and theoretical insights from the rich body of research on ‘integration’ in migration studies have led to increasing recognition of its complexity. Among European scholars, however, there remains no consensus on how integration should be defined nor what the processes entail. Integration has, moreover, been the subject of powerful academic critiques, some decrying any further use of the concept. In this paper we argue that it is both necessary and possible to address each of the five core critiques on which recent criticism has focused: normativity; negative objectification of migrants as ‘other’; outdated imaginary of society; methodological nationalism; and a narrow focus on migrants in the factors shaping integration processes. We provide a definition of integration, and a revised heuristic model of integration processes and the ‘effectors’ that have been shown to shape them, as a contribution to a constructive debate on the ways in which these challenges for empirical research can be overcome.

AbstractMy point of departure in this essay is Smith’s definition of government. “Civil government,” he writes, “so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.” First I unpack Smith’s definition of government as the protection of the rich against the poor. I argue that, on Smith’s view, this is always part of what government is for. I then turn to the question of what, according to Smith, our governors can do to protect the wealth of the rich from the resentment of the poor. I consider, and reject, the idea that Smith might conceive of education as a means of alleviating the resentment of the poor at their poverty. I then describe how, in his lectures on jurisprudence, Smith refines and develops Hume’s taxonomy of the opinions upon which all government rests. The sense of allegiance to government, according to Smith, is shaped by instinctive deference to natural forms of authority as well as by rational, Whiggish considerations of utility. I argue that it is the principle of authority that provides the feelings of loyalty upon which government chiefly rests. It follows, I suggest, that to the extent that Smith looked to government to protect the property of the rich against the poor, and thereby to maintain the peace and stability of society at large, he cannot have sought to lessen the hold on ordinary people of natural sentiments of deference. In addition, I consider the implications of Smith’s theory of government for the question of his general attitude toward poverty. I argue against the view that Smith has recognizably “liberal,” progressive views of how the poor should be treated. Instead, I locate Smith in the political culture of the Whiggism of his day.

Purpose: The article is devoted to the Sorbian studies work of the Italian Slavic scholar of Lusatian origin Wolfango Giusti (1901-1980) “The Folk Lusatian Serbian Song” (1926), totally unknown in Ukrainian Slavic scholars’ circles. The author of a large number of Sorbian studies publications printed in the 1920s and 1930s in the pages of Italian Slavic editions, he became a true popularizer of Lusatian culture, and his works found a special reverberation in the research papers of authoritative Sorbian scholars. W. Giusti’s name as researcher and translator has recently been more frequently mentioned in Slavistic publications, his interest in Ukrainian poetry, esp. in the 1920s, is written about. The interest in W. Giusti’s literary legacy is linked, in particular, to his being interested in T. Shevchenko’s and M. Shashkevych’s lyrics. In the research under analysis, the Italian scholar stressed that “the soul of the Lusatian people has found its best and fullest expression in their folk song”. Also mentioned by W. Giusti were Ukrainian folk songs, rich in their multi-genre samples. Results: The paper presents a classification of the most characteristic folk songs, the classification coming to be basis-providing for the Italian scholar: W. Giusti relied on authoritative research papers, including those by the scholars K. Fiedler and B. Krawc. The Italian Slavicist acquaints us with songs of love between brother and sister, love songs about the way of life of the whole people, songs resonating with the motif of fidelity. Neither has the literary scholar bypassed the issue of the neighbouring peoples’ influence experienced by Lusatian culture, particularly that of a Germanic culture, providing some examples of a “spiritual analogy” with German folk songs. W. Giusti completed his short essay by promising to offer the reader, before long, “other genres of the extremely rich Lusatian folklore”. The promise came to be fulfilled as early as the next year, in the work published under the title “Folk Lusatian Serbian Songs”. Key words: Lusatian folklore, Wolfango Giusti, folk song, motif of fidelity/infidelity, dramatic mood, classification of songs, aspects of “Wendish” folklore, Germanic influence.

Due to the global trend of digitalization, which influences all spheres of human activity, it is necessary to train highly qualified teachers who not only know how to use modern technologies, but also are capable of creating future technologies in everyday professional activities. Thus, it is necessary to develop professional skills (Hard skills) and personal qualities (Soft skills), which include cognitive, communicative, creative skills, as well as cooperation, emotional intelligence, decision-making skills, managerial skills, etc. The leading role in this process belongs to education, which should both adapt future educators to the needs of the system and modify modern digital technologies that follow integration of cognitive practices. This process should be based on humanistic ideals, universal and national values implemented into every new component in the general education system. This article draws attention to the necessity of a purposeful formation of value beliefs and a national code in the process of digital transformation of the education system, of identifying and presenting the risks of this process, as well as means to solve possible problems.
