The purpose of the article is to analyze the conditions and stages in the formation of the conceptual-categorical framework of cultural sciences. The methodology is based on general scientific approaches such as terminological and systematic. The purpose and objectives of the publication define the use of such research methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, which made it possible to clarify the meaning of a number of concepts and terms. Scientific Novelty. The degree of scientific research of the topic is concentrated in identifying the problems of interaction between the conceptual and categorical frameworks in various scientific fields, namely, history, philosophy, philology, aesthetics, ethics, art history, and logic, to shape up the research space. We conceptualize the idea of "formal logical structures": that is not a mechanical combination of concepts or categories, but developing a new system adapted to solving theoretical problems of cultural studies. The question about the validity of the ―borrowing‖ process that allows cultural studies to analyze theoretical problems related to other humanitarian fields is also touched upon. Conclusion. So, among the other Ukrainian human sciences, cultural studies are developing quite actively and dynamically, constantly expanding its research space; its activity and dynamism of the cultural knowledge ―accumulation‖ determine those problems requiring special attention of modern scientists; in particular, the identification of the structural layering of the conceptual and categorical framework of cultural sciences.

The article focuses onto the theoretical developments of Ukrainian specialists in cultural studies, which were provided during the last decade. It is noted that the active development of cultural knowledge requires both the fixation of already worked out problems and the definition of new problems in the logics of further research process. It is shown that during the 2010-2020 period the theoretical interest of scientists was directed to the argumentation of specific principles of cultural analysis, which helps to distinguish “Cultural Studies” among other “structural elements” of humanism, in particular, socio-political knowledge, philosophy, aesthetics, history and theory of religion, art criticism, etc. The “boundary sphere” is outlined, where the theoretical interests of cultural studies intercross with other Humanities. The importance of generalization and systematization of those theoretical spheres that are in consideration of modern Ukrainian scientists is pointed out and those “white spots” are more clearly delineated that year by year are in the focus of researchers’ attention. Besides, basing onto the publications that appear during 2019, especially those that reflect the conceptual basis of future PhD or doctoral dissertations, it can be argued that scientists mostly “push off” from those groundworks that were to some extent stated previously in 2018-2019

At the core of this Cultural Dynamics special issue on “LatinX Studies: Variations and Velocities” are new conceptual approaches, epistemological workings, “keywords,” and modes of inquiry that enable us to theorize LatinX Studies and global LatinXness for the twenty-first century. Bringing together different research communities from art, art history, cultural anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, journalism, and literature, this exploratory undertaking offers a working language on present-day LatinX preoccupations to seize what is happening contemporaneously in light of the field’s “X” and to disseminate it in a usable format like this journal. The volume’s contributors—Jill Anderson, Gloria Elizabeth Chacón, Nicholas De Genova, María DeGuzmán, Rene Galvan, Hilda Lloréns and Maritza Stanchich, Mark Overmyer-Velázquez, and Fredo Rivera—put forward new formulations and models for Latino/a Studies in considering LatinX geographies beyond the Americas; indigenous migrations and cultural production; Miami’s oceanic borderlands; environmental planetary problems and environmental knowledges; LatinX medical subjects; and deported exiles. The breadth of foci herein invites further problematization and dialogue with implications and relevance to other fields.

Interdisciplinarity and intersubjectivity between two types of general scientific theories (humanities and natural sciences) is not in doubt. The problem arises more interaction accurate humanities at the level of convergence. Transitional stage in this convergence are the science of living systems (biology, medicine, ecology), which in general research methods and occupy an intermediate position between the humanities and the natural sciences. The basis for this convergence must be new ideas about systems of the third type, which is defined as a philosophy postnonclassic (V.S. Stepin), and in the natural sciences – as chaos theory, self-organization (for quantitative description of the systems of the third type). Discusses general approaches in the humanities from the perspective of the classics, nonclassic, postnonclassic and third paradigm.

In reviewing the bibliography upon which qualitative method is based, the author refers to ethnography, ethnomethdology, symbolic interactionism and cultural studies, and argues that a combination of the qualitative methods is actually possible. To enforce his point, he gives the example of research that was recently conducted about the National Television Channel of Greece. Moreover, through the theoretical review, he asserts that the application of all qualitative methods is a way to transfer ourselves from observation to focusing and depth interviews. He believes that such an application can be really effective while collecting data as well as while analyzing and presenting the results of the research. Finally, it is his firm conviction that this shift to qualitative multi-methods can be also achieved in other scientific fields, apart from that of mass media.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the views on the relation between sign and symbol in modern linguistics and cultural studies and to formulate a theoretical conclusion in order to avoid misunderstandings in scientific works. The methodology is based on the application of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the central concepts of semiotics, linguistics, and cultural studies. In addition to general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, a cultural-genetic method was used, as well as such linguistic methods as descriptive, comparative, methods of functional and conceptual-ideographic analysis. The scientific novelty of the study is that it first revealed the cause of differences in the interpretation of the relation between sign and symbol in traditional semiotics, modern linguistic and cultural studies, and formulated recommendations for their definition. Conclusions. It is proved that the opposition of sign and symbol in modern humanities is based on the special symbolism of the symbol, which distinguishes it from the other signs, classified by Ch. Pierce in traditional semiotics. Genetically, a symbol is a sign that has developed particular anthropogenic trait distinctions, contrasting with other signs, which nevertheless does not completely remove its sign properties and functions.

This article describes the capabilities of methodology of studying art in the three interrelated scientific fields – sociology, culturology, and art history. Emphasis is placed on determination of the key criteria of comprehensive approach towards the analysis of art: each of the three scientific fields may have its own unique criteria for such analysis, but there also universal criteria that allow most fully assessing the essence and purpose of art, considering the general trends of its development in modern reality. The subject of this research is the methodology of comprehensive analysis of art using the instruments of sociology, culturology, and art history. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) disclosure of the content of the methodology of studying art; 2) determination of various criteria for comprehensive analysis of art within the framework of sociology, culturology, and art history; 3) demonstration of capabilities of using certain criteria in analyzing the essence of art and artworks; 4) focus on the social dimension of art, touching upon the heuristic value of the methods of applied sociological research; 5) characteristics of the capabilities of studying the symbolic nature of art in the context of culturology; 6) assessment of the development trends of the methodology of modern art history.

System Paradigm

The paper reveals the current problems of production systems, their lack of readiness to function in the conditions of application and development of NBIC technologies. The methodological basis of the research consists of fundamental works and modern scientific and practical developments of national and foreign scientists on the problems of creation and functioning of production, technological and socio-economic systems in the conditions of development using NBIC technologies. The research was carried out using such general scientific and special methods as: historical-dialectical and abstract-logical; comparative-analytical and system analysis; synthesis of scientific approaches. The authors prove the need to create a new system paradigm. The new paradigm of production systems that realize the potential of NBIC technologies is based on a concept that finds its concrete expression, firstly, in the initial or original concepts, and secondly, in the system of basic principles, laws, or sufficiently plausible hypotheses. It is these elements that make up the conceptual core of the paradigm, and efforts should be directed to their search and justification when forming a new paradigm. The paper analyzes the main methods and tools for implementing a new approach to the design of production systems.

The planetary scale of climate change challenges forms of conjunctural analyses that are based around the scale of national politics and culture. Global warming insists on planetary dimensions and invites us to treat humankind as a species that has developed a taste for fossil fuels. Critical cultural studies, and the human sciences more generally, seem founded on the principle that culture and society have historically worked to differentiate humans, and that the task of a critical practice is to investigate this process within and across specific geographical locales. How do we reconcile what seems to be an irreconcilable difference between cultural studies and climate change? Below I argue that, alongside the necessary work of conjunctural analysis, we should remember that the critical human sciences have other capacities that are more suited to negotiating the monstrous diversity of scales that global warming and the microcultures of the everyday articulate. Alongside conjunctural analysis I argue for the relevance of an approach that would posit 'disjunctive constellations' as objects for attention. While it might seem counter-intuitive, the disjunctive constellations I have in mind are at once more modest and (potentially) more expansive than a conjuncture. In my understanding, disjunctive constellations are not in opposition to conjunctures; they may well be the critical kernel at the heart of a conjunctural sensitivity.

The subject of this research is the normative legal acts, scientific literature, and case law materials reflecting the evidence of administrative violations. Covering the problem, the author notes the flaws in the existing legislation on administrative liability, using external (formal) sign to characterize a particular act as a legal violation or an offence. Underlining the flaws of such approach, special attention is paid to the search for the evidence of administrative violation, which allows characterizing the essence of the act. In the course of this research, the author applies scientific achievements of other human sciences, primarily economics. Methodological framework is comprised of the dialectical method of cognition of social reality. For collection, processing, generalization, analysis and interpretation of the materials, are used  general scientific and special methods of research: induction, deduction and document analysis. The main conclusion of this study consists in the formulation of the definition of administrative violation in the area of taxes and duties. The author develops a new approach towards structuring the system of evidence of such unlawful act, highlighting the essential (conceptual) evidence – public danger, and proposing a mechanism for determining public danger of a particular act.
