Introduction. Modern science, based on the abstract-logical method of cognition, is not able to comprehend the deep meaning of management culture in the organization processes of nature and society. A manager who uses a purely scientific approach will see only a part of the management object and not all its integrity and completeness. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the article is a metaphysical analysis of chaos, order, and harmony as fundamental concepts of general management culture, which will create a reliable tool for penetrating the depths of things and give not secondary interpretations, but to understand the essence of management culture yesterday, today and in the future. The methodological basis of the study is the metaphysical and dialectical principles of cognition, systemic and culturological approaches to the study of organizational phenomena and processes, as well as the fundamental provisions of the theory and history of culture. Results. The main approaches to the representation of chaos, order, and harmony in the mythopoetic picture of the world are considered. The most significant features of understanding chaos, order, and harmony in the philosophy of culture of the East are determined. The specifics of chaos, order, and harmony reflection in the philosophy of Western culture are revealed. A metaphysical synthesis of philosophical and scientific approaches to understanding chaos, order, and harmony in the context of management culture is carried out, and its deep essence is revealed. Conclusions. For the first time, a metaphysical analysis of chaos, order, and harmony in the organizational and cultural aspect was conducted, which allowed to penetrate the environment of transcendent management culture and to comprehend its deep meaning. The significance of the study is manifested in the addition of science to new theoretical provisions on the management culture metaphysics, as well as the possibility of using them in the training process of organizations’ managers.

This article highlights the solution to the problem of the nature and direction of the cultural and historical movement. Different options, concepts are considered. The cultural concepts of Schiller, Herder and others are fected. View on the logic of the development of the cultural and historical process of representation of Soviet culture are revealed in detail. The types of evolutionary concepts of culture, such as single-line volition, are a consideration of the history of culture as the sequential development of various systems (religion, morals, economy e.t.c.) with the identification of general stages in it (E.Taylor, J.Fraser, L. Levy-Bruhl). The second type of evolutionary understanding of the logic of cultural-historical dynamics is the theory of universal evolution. Its essence is to recognize the identity of the development of various ethnic cultures, the denzal of the general stages and the general scheme of movement, but the purpose and meaning, of it is understood by its supporters differently Supporters of this theory are N.Ya Danilevsky, A.Toynbee, V.Solovyov, K. Jaspers, B. Malinvsky and others. Their concepts include the idea of the cultural evolution of mankind, going in different ways to some unity, the idea of polyphonic world culture and recognition the equivalence of all its components. The third type of evolutionary doctrine of culture is theories of multilinear evolution. The views of the representatives of this theory (R.Benedict, M. Herskovitz etc.) affirm the polymerization of the sociocultural space, the intrinsic value of different types and models of culture. Thus, the article gives the basic concepts that offer original solutions to one of the important problems in the philosophy of culture the problems of the logic of the cultural-historical movement. Now, in a period of rapid social rhythm of the development of production and non-production activities, the forecasting of changes in space is becoming especially important/ Taking into account the numerous technical and social consequences of the scientific and technological revolution put forward requirements related to spatial forecasting

The Young Scholars Conference at the Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, has been held since 2014. In 2020, the organisers had to change the previous timing of the event –it had previously been timed to correspond with the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture (May 24th), but for the first time it was not held in May but in October. The format of the Conference was also changed: the participants made their presentations remotely on the ZOOM platform. As usual, there were three broad topic areas: “History”, “Linguistics”, and “Literary Studies. The History of Culture”. The wide geographical coverage of the participants should be mentioned. This year, young scholars from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Kirov, Rostov-on-don, Chisinau (Moldova), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Macerata (Italy), and Minsk (Belarus) presented their research. Historians discussed many issues, including the problems of governance and modernisation in multinational states, memory policy in Slavic countries, and the role of parties and public organisations in overcoming crises. The section “Literary Studies. The History of Culture” focused on the reception and translation of works in Slavic languages and the problems of poetics in literature and cinema. Linguists paid attention to issues surrounding the grammar of modern Slavic languages, dialectology, and paleoslavistics. Moderators’ comments made the Conference, as usual, a kind of “school” for the young researchers. The conference proceedings have been published.

Craft Guilds

AbstractThis paper argues that historical research on late medieval and early modern craft guilds fails to escape teleological and anachronistic views, including when they are addressed as commons or ‘institutions for collective action’. These present-day conceptual lenses do not only create idealized views on guilds, but also of the contexts in which they operated, especially the state and the market. This is especially the case with neo-institutional views on the commons, which fall back on a transhistorical rational actor, who can choose between three options for the allocation of resources and surpluses, namely the state, the market and the common. The paper shows that guilds were fundamentally entangled with both the state and the market and that their ethic implied a less utilitarian and instrumental attitude towards natural resources. The consequence of this is that the history of the guilds offers different lessons to present-day commoners than those implied by present-day research. With an eye at launching a reflection on that, I argue in favour of a cosmopolitical perspective, which invites to take fundamentally different worldviews seriously. This includes questioning our own conceptual and analytical abstractions like the state, the market and the individual, up to and including the very distinction between nature and society or nature and politics, which are at the very basis of modern science itself.

Secret History

The article examines the works of E. Haywood, as the author of novels, the publisher of three women's magazines that laid the groundwork for the culture of women's creativity in English literature of the XVIII century. Her name is called among the first authors of a women's novel, which is still interpreted from a gender perspective in modern science as a sociocultural phenomenon that represents the world through the eyes of women. Nevertheless, the authors of the article note the serious influence of men's literature on the work of the writer who was passionate about politics and social reforms. Special attention is paid to such genre modification of the novel as "secret histories", the predecessor of "the novel with the key". It is noted that what is new in "secret histories" is the shift in the angle of perception of the text itself, filled with facts about certain historical events and people, which were taken from various kinds of insinuations, as a rule, it had nothing to do with the real history, but attracted the reader with their variations in the relationships of the characters. Slander becomes the subject of the depiction, and its possessors represent heroes (antiheroes) through the prism of the certain moral values, including the state ones. For the first time in Russian literary criticism, the authors acquaint the reader to the "secret histories" of E. Haywood, novels “The Secret History of the Present Intrigues of the Court of Caramania”(1726), “Memories of a Certain Island Adjacent to the Kingdom of Utopia” (1725 – 26), “The Advantures of Eovaai, Princess of Ijavea; a preAdamitical History” (1736) in the context of women's prose in England in the XVIII century. The analysis of the novel “The Secret History of the Present Intrigues of the Court of Caramania” as the most vivid example of the "secret histories" by E. Haywood is offered. The material of the article will be of interest to the specialists, as well as to those who are interested in the development of the female genre of the novel in the literature of England during the Enlightenment.

The paper presents a new book published by the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen in 2020, belonging to the pen of one of the most talented culturologists of their first generation in Russia — Igor Alexandrovich Smirnov. The book was written during the work of I.A. Smirnov at the Department of Theory and History of Culture of Russian State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen in 1993, but published for the first time. It is extremely relevant today both in the subject of research and in the method. It presents the original concept of Soviet literature and culture, based on the constructivist methodology. I.A. Smirnov convincingly shows that Soviet culture is a structure created according to the model of classical culture, but not spontaneously, that is, as a result of free creativity or traditions that existed for a long time, but by state order. The paper demonstrates the deformations that inevitably arise as a result of the implementation of such projects.

Statement of the problem. The article is a continuation of our work devoted to the problems of the history of culture in the creative work of Vsevolod Ivanov in the 1940s–1960s. A new stage in the formulation of the problem, which makes it possible to trace the origins of the theme of culture in Ivanov’s creative work, became possible thanks to the publication of unknown texts by the writer of his early Siberian period. The purpose of the article is to analyze the theme of culture in Ivanov’s early work, to examine the evolution of the writer’s views. Methodology. The article uses comparative historical textual methods, the method of historical and cultural commentary. Research results. The theme of culture is considered for the first time on the material of Ivanov’s works of the 1910s, the evolution of his views is traced, which were formed in a dialogue with re- gional ideas and the concept of the East and West by A.M. Gorky. It is noted that the early works of the writer reflected anxiety for the fate of cultural values in the modern world. Particular attention is paid to the spiritual values of the culture of the East, understood by Ivanov in his own way and found embodiment in his work. The analysis of the story “The Return of the Buddha” and the third the edition of the novel “The Edessa Shrine” shows how the writer’s attitude to the East changed. Conclusions. The analysis of Ivanov’s works devoted to the theme of culture shows that this problem interested the writer from the very beginning of his creative path. Reflecting on the fate of the outgoing culture of Siberia in early works, dreaming of the possibility of the influence of the ancient East cultures on the historical choice of Russia and Europe in the 1920s, in the story “The Return of the Buddha”, the writer, by the end of the 1950s, obviously, comes to the conclusion that it is impossible for the forces of culture to resist the development of civilization.

The article is concerned with a religious painting by Ivan Ipatievich Mikhailov “Andrey Dionisevich, Prince Myshetsky”, created in the 1930s. The main idea of the article is to show the aesthetic and didactic functions of art. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach that contributes to a better comprehension of the picture: the iconographic, iconological and iconic methods are complemented by the analytical history of culture. The analysis allows concluding that 1) the painting reveals a direct connection with the national Russian-Old Believers culture in Poland in the 1930s; 2) the painting depicting the Vygovsky leader and celibacy advocate A. Denisov, in a direct and paradoxical way also served to strengthen the special ideology of married Pomortsy (the most moderate trend among Old Believers – Bespopovtsy) in Poland in the 1930s; 3) Mikhailov’s “Andrey Dionisevich” was an original work, and not just a reproduction (of an earlier engraving), since through the “seeing vision” (an important term in the iconology by M. Imdal) it acquired a new meaning. The hero of the early Old Belief A. Denisov for the first time became a particularly important religious figure and a fellow for the married Pomortsy of Poland in the first half of the 20th century. In other words, the “seeing vision” allowed to cover both the subject of the picture itself, and the artist or viewer who saw it anew (comprehended, understood).

The purpose of the article reveals the conceptual statements of the artistic personality in the XXI century by studying and generalizing humanitarian study theses. The research methodology: the biographic, analytical, historical, hermeneutic, systemic approaches were applied, which enabled the complex review of the aforementioned question. The scientific novelty. For the first time ever, the specifics of an artist’s chronicles under nowadays’ civilization conditions were rendered within the national art history framework. Conclusions. On the boundary of the XX – XXI centuries, an outstanding profile’s biography experienced considerable transformations referring to epoch changes and filled with new philosophic senses having reflected the trans-modern atmosphere. The contemporary chronicle is a complex dialectic phenomenon. It is culture-centered, contextual (aspiring after involving the novel character in human civilization continuum), and trying to solve current anthropological issues, as well as to regard the agent as the universal ontological codes bearer, and to declare the value of an artistic individual, etc. Meanwhile, the abovementioned genre reveals the epoch controversy being manifested via lack of moral ideals, ethics, and aesthetic canons, and personified leaders. The consequence of the situation is the fact of the chronicles being not necessarily identical to its actual prototype, but rather suggesting a possible variant of interpreting its essence.  Their author provides an original vision of facts and phenomena of the artist’s being, constructs, and represents the subject’s model in the available form reflecting the following: the master’s image; the concrete epoch’s portrait; the researcher’s autobiography. From this information source, the recipient builds his own history of the novel character. The methodology of rendering an artistic personality’s biography is based on the integration of humanitarian study advances, as well as an interdisciplinary approach, the interaction of various science discourses, contexts, senses, etc. Keywords: biography; master; art history; culture; humanitarian study.

Active expansion of the functional area of contemporary museums allows us to speak about museumfication – of history, of culture and its particular phenomena. Collecting, inventorying, quoting, archiving, which are some of the key cultural procedures of today, are the essence of the phenomenon of museumfication that expands over our everyday culture and experience. The article is dedicated to the museumfication of reality as an artistic practice and as distinctive feature of the postmodernist worldview. The purpose of the article is to identify the peculiarities of the literary interpretation of the phenomenon of the museum in the novel “Flights” by O. Tokarczuk. Museum is one of the emblematic images of the postmodernist ideological and aesthetical paradigm. Moreover, in this paradigm museum functions as a universal metaphor and a specific model of the world. The novelty of the article is determined by the fact that the first time the image of the museum as one of the key elements of the artistic world in the works of O. Tokarczuk is analysed. Research methods: descriptive, cultural historical, analysis, synthesis of information. Conclusions. The artistic practices of the museumfication take an important place in the novel “Flights” by O. Tokarczuk. It is noteworthy that these practices are not only present at the thematic level of the novel, but the authoress herself employs them in her work, composing “Flights” as a kind of an imaginary museum, a collection of narratives. The image of the museum in the novel embodies a number of features that are distinctive for the postmodern ideological and aesthetic paradigm: the principles of fragmentariness and constellation, implementing baroque naturalistic aesthetics, formaland thematic antagonism in relation to coherent grandnarratives, artistic modeling of the world in the form of panopticon, etc.
