The article deals with the cultural transformation of the city of Osh and Osh region (under the USSR). The October revolution made a radical revolution not only in the field of socio - economic, political and national relations, but also in spiritual life: in culture, ideology, morality, as well as in the life and traditions of the peoples of our Republic. It not only opened the people wide access to spiritual values, but also made them direct creators of these values. From the first days of the victory of the October revolution, it was decided to eradicate such remnants of the middle ages as class, national inequality, the disenfranchised status of women, etc. First of all, it was necessary to create a new school, in its essence, principles, structure and objectives radically different from the old one. Education in the new schools has become free, compulsory, co-educational for children of both sexes and independent of their nationality. All peoples have the right to study in schools in their native language. In April 1918, the people's Commissariat of education was established at the V Congress of Councils of Turkestan, local departments of public education at the Executive committees of regional and district Councils. On may 20, 1918 the Council of public education was formed in Osh.

This book explores the history and the vicissitudes of one of Paris’s most extraordinary areas, the Marais. Centrally located on the Right Bank, this neighbourhood was from the Middle Ages through to the eighteenth century the most fashionable in the city, headquarters of the nobility who endowed it with resplendent architecture. The Court’s move to Versailles and the Revolution of 1789 led to the quartier’s decline, so that in the nineteenth century and the earlier part of the twentieth it was in parlous shape, its fine buildings run down and often severely overcrowded. It escaped wholesale destruction in the post-War frenzy of modernization largely thanks to André Malraux, who as Culture Minister fostered the restoration of the area. Malraux’s efforts were, however, not immune from criticism, sometimes seen as a form of socio-economic cleansing with concomitant fossilization, and thus emblematic of the problems faced by a city which has always been torn between the preservation of its past and the need to adapt to social and historical change. The book focuses particularly on literary, cinematic and other artistic reproductions of the quartier, of which it attempts to provide a comprehensive overview, and foregrounds particularly its importance as home to and base of two highly significant minorities – the Jewish and the gay communities.

Having a look at the tourist space as a cultural specialist, the author drew attention to the fact that the closest to the modern man is a city environment he contacts and sometimes encounters in everyday life and on holidays. And every time whether he wants it or not, it opens in a dif erent way. One way of getting to know the world has long been a walking tour. It’s not just a walk hand in hand with a pleasant man or hasty movement to the right place, but namely the tour, in which a knowledgeable person with a soulful voice will speak about the past and present of the city and its surroundings, as if it is about your life and the people close to you. Turning to the beginning of the twentieth century, the experience of scientists-excursion specialists we today can learn a lot to improve the process of building up a tour, and most importantly the transmission of knowledge about the world in which we live. Well-known names of the excursion theory founders to professionals are I. Grevs, N. Antsiferov, N. Geynike and others. They are given in the context of ref ection on the historical development of walking tours, which haven’t lost their value and attract both creators and consumers of tour services.

В статье рассматривается ордалия в качестве историко-культурного феномена. Автор исходит из установки, согласно которой ордалия представляет собой определенный культурный текст, несущий конкретное содержание, позволяющее получить знания о функционировании предправа традиционных обществ. В Древнем мире и Средневековье судьи для определения вины/невиновности прибегали к процедуре ордалии: жребий, судебный поединок, испытание раскаленным железом, кипятком, водой. Сама процедура ордалии имела своим основанием глубоко религиозное сознание человека Древнего мира и Средних веков. Люди Средневековья были убеждены в том, что за всеми явлениями природного мира стоят сверхъестественные, трансцендентные силы, которые и вершат судьбы природных стихий, человека и человечества. Именно поэтому процедура ордалии предполагала, что вынесение судебного решения, особенно по запутанным делам, необходимо передать в руки божественных сил, то есть должен свершиться так называемый «божий суд». Смысл ордалии коренился в убеждении «Бог всегда на стороне правого!». Соответственно исход поединка и результаты различных испытаний представляют собой божественную волю, реализацию справедливости и правоты. Именно поэтому результаты ордалии по своей сущности сакральны. В связи с этим феномен ордалии органично вписывается в реальность Древнего мира и Средневековья. The article considers ordalia as a historical and cultural phenomenon. The author proceeds from the position that the ordalia is a certain cultural text that carries a specific content that allows you to gain knowledge about the functioning of the pre-rule of traditional societies. In the period of antiquity and the Middle Ages, judges resorted to the ordeal procedure to determine guilt/innocence: a lot, a judicial duel, a test with hot jelly, boiling water, water. The ordeal procedure itself was based on the deeply religious consciousness of the man of the Ancient world and the Middle Ages. The people of the Middle Ages were deeply convinced that behind all the phenomena of the natural world there are supernatural, transcendent forces that decide the fate of the natural elements, man and humanity. That is why the ordeal procedure assumed that the adjudication of court decisions, especially in complicated cases, must be transferred to the hands of divine forces, that is, the so-called «God's judgment» must take place. The meaning of the ordeal was rooted in the belief «God is always on the side of the right!». Accordingly, the outcome of the duel and the results of various tests represent the divine will, the realization of justice and rightness. That is why the results of the ordeal are essentially sacred. In this regard, the phenomenon of Ordalia fits seamlessly into the reality of the Ancient world and the Middle Ages.

During the Peronist years (1943‐55), architect Jorge Sabaté designed several exhibitions and ephemeral installations to be erected in the central streets of Buenos Aires. These interventions were aimed at transforming the face of the city, repurposing its spaces for unprecedented uses and expressing the right ‘the people’ had gained to free time, outings and leisure. In this article, I examine the architectural illustrations that Sabaté appended to the rest of his plans. The incorporation into his drawings of the social practices of metropolitan strolling is one of the ways in which the Peronist exhibitions designed by Sabaté relate to urban culture. By staging the masses in these materials, Sabaté proposes a whole new form of conviviality in public space and depicts the popular sectors aspiring to a new lifestyle made possible by the intersection of technological progress and expanded access to consumer goods.

Episcopal election in Western Christianity evolved considerably over the course of the fifth to the twelfth centuries. In the early part of this period, an open electorate consisting of the clergy and the people (clerus et populus), as well as the diocesan clergy and the metropolitan archbishop, all took part in the election and consecration of a new bishop. Over the course of several centuries, the local prince came increasingly to dominate the process due both to Germanic and Roman traditions of the role of the prince and to the growth in power of the local rulers over the course of the Middle Ages. Efforts to harmonize the discordant views of a “democratic” versus an elite (either princely or clerical) electorate with the ideals of canon law, which forbade lay participation in episcopal election, led to assertions that the clergy were to elect the bishop with the people and the prince giving their assent to the bishop-elect. However, with the Gregorian reforms of the twelfth century, the right of the clergy in episcopal elections became preeminent as the reformers sought to enforce the canon laws and exclude the laity from episcopal election, especially in light of past princely abuse. Despite the apparent victory of the reformers in the Investiture Controversy, the local ruler continued to play a preeminent role in episcopal appointments (or elections) into modern times, though the principle of election “by the clergy and the people” fell into disuse.

The article reconstructs the process of origin and development of the festival movement in the Urals in the 1930s – 1970s in the music and concert sphere. The history of some of the largest festivals is viewed in the context of the formation of the Soviet festive culture and the goals of the Soviet cultural policy. The authors highlight the main holidays, for which the philharmonic society prepared musical programs - the anniversaries of the October Revolution of 1917 and the formation of the USSR, the birthday of V.I. Lenin. Since the late 1930s, the scope of musical programs has steadily increased. More and more organizations were involved in the creative process - philharmonic societies, theaters, libraries, clubs, art centers, departments of public education. The concert space has expanded from the «palaces of culture» and concert halls of the city to the central squares of the city, open spaces outside the cities and villages. In the 60s, favorable conditions for the development of the music industry were formed. Philharmonic music programs turn into mass celebrations, and then into regional festivals of professional, folk and amateur art. These events covered all audiences - schoolchildren, young people, factory workers and agricultural workers, the intelligentsia. Festivals acquired names, received vivid coverage in periodicals. Sometimes preparations for such celebrations took 1–2 years, and the festivals themselves could “travel” by train or car to regional cities and large villages during the whole jubilee year. By the 70s, the Ural music festivals reached the All-Union level, and also acquired international cultural ties. Special attention is paid to the forms of education, the repertoire of groups, geography and the organization of festivals. These festivals are considered by the authors as an instrument of popularizing and educating the “right” values among the people; they were supposed to activate mass practical activities. Ideas that sounded in musical-verbal and visual form from the stadiums, the stage of theaters during the festivals for a long time will be significant and memorable for a whole generation of people in our country. Therefore, a music festival can be considered not just a form of bringing people to the world musical heritage and educating people, but also an effective way to preserve the cultural memory of a people. The article uses archival materials, including those not previously introduced into scientific circulation, which help to understand the significance of these festivals for the regional culture of the Soviet period.


Housing Shock ◽

Housing has always been a deeply political issue given its centrality to people’s lives. However, how it is politicised and treated, and its prominence in political and public debate, has changed over time. Housing is now becoming a political battleground of the 21st century between big finance, government and citizens seeking affordable housing. This chapter details the new housing protests and movements in Ireland challenging evictions and rising homelessness, and the scandal of derelict properties and high rents, and are campaigning for the use of vacant public land for affordable homes for all and the inclusion of the right to housing in the Constitution and law. A housing movement has been increasingly active in Ireland since 2014, responding to growing homelessness, and rental and mortgage arrears crises. Activity initially involved a number of small grassroots groups working incrementally to develop strategies and tactics around how to tackle the housing crisis in Ireland. A larger housing social movement erupted sporadically in 2016 over plans to demolish and redevelop Apollo House, a former government office block, and then in a more sustained manner in 2018 with the Take Back the City and Raise the Roof campaigns.
