At the present stage, Kazakh musical culture is heterogeneous. It represents traditions coexisting at the same time and interacting with each other: Kazakh ethnic and newly established composer school (tradition). Examining changes in cultural landscapes of the 20th century I reveal the peculiarities of interaction and dialogue between two kinds of culture: ethnic and global (endogenous and exogenous). The procedures include the complex study of the history of Kazakh culture in the 20th century, stylistic analysis of traditional and composer’s music, semiotic approach to intercultural interaction, as far as a comparative analysis of oral and written music of 19th and 20th centuries. On one hand, dramatic changes in the structure of music culture were caused by external objective reasons: new industrial and postindustrial civilization phases (urbanization and information technologies); intensification of interaction with western (mainly Russian) cultures, etc. On the other hand, some changes were inspired by inner factors: diverse development of local song and kui (dombyra piece) traditions; Soviet cultural policy. As a result new type (or layer) of national culture – Kazakh composers’ music – appeared. It was connected with the formation of a national style based on transcriptions and borrowing. Traditional music was influenced by new social institutions (philharmonic halls, theatres, radio, conservatoire) that caused changes in the creative process (decrease of oral transmission, lack of traditional social context) as well as in the style (virtuoso performance, new genres of songs).

The history of art in Argentina in the XX-XXI centuries is studied mainly in three directions: the genre system, the spiritual and content aspect of works and creative biographies of outstanding masters. Special attention is paid to the links between the art of the Old and New World. Nowadays, the issue of connecting the artistic culture of the regions of Argentina — the center of the country, the northeast, and the northwest - is becoming urgent. The provinces not only perceived the trends of the capital's cultural policy, but also built their own cultural institutions that contributed to the creation and translation of the meanings of works about the uniqueness of human and nature connections far from Buenos Aires, and what is especially significant - about the diversity of ethnic types and characters. Such outstanding masters as Lino Enea Spilimbergo, Antonio Berni, Raul Monsegur, Eddie Torre taught in provincial art schools. They moved quite often from city to city, from province to province. We can assume that in the 40-50s of the XX century. in Cordoba, Mendoza, Tucuman and Resistencia, there were already professionals in all kinds of art. Argentine domestic scientists began to study these processes not so long ago. In this article, special attention is paid to the analysis of cultural heritage and the museum collection of the association El Fogón de los Arrieros (EFA, "Hearth of teamsters", hereinafter - Fogón), located in Resistencia, the capital of the province of Chaco, now known in the country as the City of Sculptures. Fogón became famous for its diverse cultural, educational activities, which began in 1943 and continues to this day. In the history of Fogón, a new type of educator has developed in the person of Aldo Boletti, Juan de Dios Mena, Hilda Torres Varela. The study used the historical and typological method and the method of art criticism analysis.

The study is devoted to the periodization of the history of Kazakh music in the 20th century which is necessary for an objective reflection of all the complex musical and cultural processes of this time. Based on the existing approaches to periodization (U. Jumakova, M. Drozhzhina, V. Nedlina), as well as the methodology of V.R. Dulat-Aleyev, a universal basis for periodization was searched. Different approaches to the periodization of the musical culture of Kazakhstan in the 20th century one way or another take into account the aspect of the change of cultural paradigms, as a result of which the main time boundaries coincide. The reasons for periodization are the change of generations of composers (U. Jumakova), the interaction vectors of the center and periphery of culture (M. Drozhzhina), intercultural interaction (V. Nedlina). In this study, another, broader basis for periodization is proposed – a change in the paradigms of culture. It involves a semiotic interpretation of musical culture. The division of the recent history of Kazakh musical culture is consistent with the predominance of monomodality (until the 1920s), bimodality (1920-1970s) and polymodality (1980 – present). The paradigm of culture acts as a universal foundation and allows us to combine musical and cultural processes in different musical and creative forms (traditional music, composer creativity, mass art), and also take into account the wide Eurasian context of Kazakhstani music.

With the development of information technologies in the 20th century, a new type of space in which the social or individual life of the human being is exposed has emerged. More and more individuals are creating a representation of themselves through the avatars they have in these worlds, mostly designed as games. With the advancing technology, there is a possibility that people will be able to carry their entire existence to these spaces in the long run, and it is possible to see examples of this situation in the cinema texts. In Ready Player One, Steven Spielberg focuses on people trying to get rid of their realities and to exist in virtual worlds in a dystopic future. In this study, the related film will be subjected to qualitative content analysis within the framework of the concept of migration and representation to cyberspace. In this way, the migration of individuals to virtual worlds in an effort to get rid of their reality and the effects of this situation in social life as a phenomenon/possibility have been discussed through the film.

If the 17th century could be considered the century of the reformation of science, the present century is one of counterreformation in every sense of the word. The ideology of this century can be seen in the titanic efforts to complete the development of science which foundation was laid in the 17th and 18th centuries, in the outright failures, and in attempts at reconstructing the foundation (e.g., Hilbert's formalization program, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, Charlier's theory of a hierarchic universe, Fridman's evolutionary cosmology, Newton's mechanics, relativistic and/or quantum mechanics in physics, the logical turn of the Vienna circle and epistemological anarchism in methodology). Our task is to reveal the essence of the turning points in 20th century science and to determine at least the general outlines, if not the cause, of the new type of rationality that is replacing the old one. I will focus on the history of cosmology, or rather on its three paradigms that have succeeded each other in this century: Newtonian, Fridmanian and the inflationary paradigms. By outlining the problem, I will pose a possible solution from clarifying changes in the value orientations, ideals and norms of scientific research to their possible generalization.

In the article the described sphere of musical work is musically-computer technologies as a result of process of informatization, that is conditioned by mushroom growth of electronic musical instruments from the simplest synthesizers to the powerful musical computers. There was the new interdisciplinary sphere of professional activity, related to creation and application of the specialized musicalhardware and softwarefacilities that require knowledge and abilities both in a musical sphere, and in area of informatics. Such basic directions of introduction of information technologies are certain in music: the use in scientific researches, organization of academic association and work with a musical inheritance. Many-sided nature, global applicability of electronic and computer music, give new, essentially, boundless possibilities of self-realization, stimulate swift development of intellect, destroying music on a new level.Compatibility of electronic music with traditional musical technologies creates terms for the succession of musical epochs and styles, their interpenetration and synthesis, strengthening interest in a musical culture on the whole. Success with the modern use of the similar systems lies in integration of all computer possibilities. Investigating history of becoming of digital music, influence of MIDI- of technologies is described, as leading direction in a computer musical studio. MIDI- technology gave possibility to recreate a voice record in any rate and in any key, vocalists and bandsmen got possibility to conduct even independent employments after accompaniment and to do the detailed analysis of piece of music, that does irreplaceable the marked technology in musical educational establishments. Also, principle of transmission of audioinformation is explained for MIDI- of protocol. The marked home achievements of modern composers are in relation to embodiment of computer technologies in a musical art. Feather orientation of work of the Ukrainian composers from withstand general stamps on the deeply personality understanding of sociocultural processes is accompanied by the search of new intellectual senses in music. Influence of digital technologies is analysed onpublishing house of notes business and distribution of electronic editions, that assists distribution of musical information from one side, and from other, requires the specification of matter of authorial law and intellectual property. Advantage of new type ofto printed preparation of musical collections above an old method is undoubted, but the most valuable is seemed by that humanity got around the decision of question of the "unheard" piece of music.

The issue of the canon (the most studied and taught classics) is one of the most important in the world literature system. The paper briefly outlines the formation of the USA literary canon since the middle of the 19th century and details the formation of the Russian segment in the transcultural canon since the late 20th century. In the history of the USA canon formation, the institutional or sociological model (Jonathan Culler, Stanley Fish, Paul Lauter), which argues that social institutions respond to ideological demands, and the aesthetic model embodied by Harold Blooms Shakespeare-centered Western Canon stand out. An up-to-date approach to the canon assumes taking both models into account, as well as the perception of the canon as cultural memory. Anthologies are most important sources of documenting the canon. For the 20th century American literature researchers distinguish three phases formed by the leading literary trends: historiographic (1919-1946), new critical (1947-1967) and multicultural (1967- present). Based on the analysis of Norton and Longman anthologies, as well as a popular textbook The Bedford Introduction to Literature since the late 20th century to the present, the paper highlights the Russian core in the USA transcultural canon, which became the source of creative reinterpretation in contemporary literature. The present research is to be continued through the study of the Russian literature canon in specialized editions to outline a comprehensive history of the Russian-American cultural transfer.

Statement of the problem. Conducting performance in China is still a poorly explored area of the national musical art, which makes it necessary to deeply comprehend its main aspects and determine the originality of this important area of the country’s musical culture. This study is aimed at identifying the influence of the dynamics of historical development in China in the 20th century on the development of a conductor’s profession in the country. The recent researches and publications study the specifics of the conductor’s gesture (M. Mannone, I. Poggi, B. Silvey, L. Reizabal), personal conducting activities of the brightest representatives of this profession in different countries (C. Bongiovanni, J.-C. Branger, J. Orrego Salas, M. Walter and others). However no work mentions the activities of Chinese conductors. This profession is practically not studied among its Chinese representatives, too. Methodology of this research includes the study of scientific works devoted to various aspects of European conducting (R. Komurdzhi, Lee En Zhong, B. Smirnov, O. Tremzina), to the outstanding conductors (S. Bongiovanni, J.-C. Branger, J. Orrego Salas, M. Walter), general problems of connection of conducting with exact sciences (M. Mannone), and, especially, the history of the development of a new type of symphony orchestra in China (Hon-Lun Yang & M. Saffle, Mingyen Lee). Hence, it calls for an integrated approach, which includes historical-typological, comparative, genrestyle and dialectic methods. Results and Conclusions. Active involvement of European music has been taking place in China relatively recently – since the 1920s. In this way, the problems of creating a national conducting school and a symphonic culture of performance in the country became especially acute. The history of the development of the symphony orchestra and conductor’s performance of Chinese musical art of the twentieth century can be imagined as a single culture process that is constantly moving in the same vein encompassing all countries and continents. During the 20th century a new profession of musician-conductor of a new type of orchestra was formed in China, which combined instruments of the European symphony orchestra and national instruments. The formation of national symphonic schools in China is also linked to specific historical events: the modernization of Chinese music, the foreign education of many Chinese musicians, the influence of communist ideology (“exemplary performances”), on the one hand, and Western capitalist (Hong Kong orchestras), on the other. The specificity of the activity of the conductor of a new type of symphony orchestra is directly related to various changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the orchestra, special features for use of both individual instruments of the symphony orchestra and whole sections, and to technical capabilities of national and European instruments.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin’s life (1883–1950) and work of this outstanding Russian mathematician, member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and foreign member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, coincides with a very difficult period in Russian history: two World Wars, the 1917 revolution in Russia, the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, the civil war of 1917–1922, and finally, the construction of a new type of state, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This included collectivization in the agriculture and industrialization of the industry, accompanied by the mass terror that without exception affected all the strata of the Soviet society. Against the background of these dramatic events took place the proces of formation and flourishing of Luzin the scientist, the creator of one of the leading mathematical schools of the 20th century, the Moscow school of function theory, which became one of the cornerstones in the foundation of the Soviet mathematical school. Luzin’s work could be divided into two periods: the first one comprises the problems regarding the metric theory of functions, culminating in his famous dissertation Integral and Trigonometric Series (1915), and the second one that is mainly devoted to the development of problems arising from the theory of analytic sets. The underlying idea of Luzin’s research was the problem of the structure of the arithmetic continuum, which became the super task of his work. The destiny favored the master: the complex turns of history in which he was involved did not prevent, and sometimes even favored the successful development of his research. And even the catastrophe that broke out over him in 1936 – “the case of Academician Luzin” – ended successfully for him.
