Мета статті – визначити соціально-культурні передумовипопулярності та масовості шкіл товарись-ких танців як осередків хореографічного навчання; проаналізувати діяльність шкіл товариських танців у Галичині в міжвоєнне двадцятиліття. Методи. Для досягнення поставленої мети було використано комплекс дослідницьких методів – конкретно-пошуковий, системний метод, метод логіко-історичного аналізу. Конкретно-пошуковий метод застосовувався у роботі з архівними документами та матеріалами періодичних видань із досліджуваної проблематики. Системний метод дав змогу всебічно та комплек-сно розглянути діяльність шкіл товариських танців у Галичині міжвоєнного періоду. Метод логіко-істо-ричного аналізу дозволив систематизувати, проаналізувати дані та інформацію, що стосуються предме-та дослідження. Результати. На основі аналізу архівних матеріалів, публікацій у періодичних виданнях розкрито особливості організації шкіл товариських танців у Галичині 1919–1939 років, систематизова-но інформацію про власників та вчителів шкіл товариських танців, досліджено діяльність професійного зв’язку вчителів товариських танців. Висновки. Встановлено, що популярність та масовість шкіл това-риських танців у Галичині визначали розвиток бальної хореографії, а також роль, яку відігравали танці у тогочасному соціально-культурному житті галичан. Дуже поширеними були дансинґи – громадські зали для танців, у кав’ярнях та рестораціях також біли місця для танців. Часто різноманітні товариства організовували танцювальні вечори, особливо у карнавальний сезон. Репертуар бальної хореографії 20–30-х рр. ХХ ст. включав вальс, тустеп, уанстеп, блюз, фокстрот, квік-степ, чарльстон, танго, свінг, твіст, шіммі, каріоку тощо. Ці танці вивчали у школах товариських танців. Школи танців були у бага-тьох містах Галичини, а саме у Бережанах, Бориславі, Бродах, Дрогобичі, Золочеві, Коломиї, Надвірній, Самборі, Старому Самборі, Станіславові, Стрию, Трускавці. Зміст та методика навчання товариських танців залежали виключно від рівня підготовки педагогів танцювальних шкіл. Учителі танців об’єдну-вались у професійні зв’язки. Протягом 1919–1939 років у Львові діяло кілька таких зв’язків, які об’єд-нували фахових та ліцензованих учителів танців з усієї Східної Галичини. The purpose – to determine the cultural prerequisites for the popularity of social dance schools as centers of choreographic learning; to analyze the activities of social dance schools in Galicia in the interwar twenty years. Methods. To achieve this goal, a set of research methods was used specific search, system method, method of logical-historical analysis. Specific search methods were used when working with documents and materials of periodicals on the researched issues. The systematic method allowed to comprehensively consider the activities of social dance schools in Galicia in the interwar period. The method of logical-historical analysis allowed to systematize, analyze data and information related to the subject of research. Results. Based on the analysis of archival materials, publications in periodicals, the peculiarities of the organization of social dance schools in Galicia in 1919–1939 are revealed, information about the owners and teachers of social dance schools is systematized, the professional communication of social dance teachers is investigated. Conclusions.It is established that the popularity of social dance schools in Galicia determined the development of ballroom choreography, as well as the role played by the dance in the then socio-cultural life of Galicians. Dance halls were widespread, and there were also dance halls in cafes and restaurants. Often various societies organized dance evenings, especially during the carnival season. Repertoire of ballroom choreography of the 20–30s of the XX century included waltz, twostep, onestep, blues, foxtrot, quickstep, charleston, tango, swing, twist, shimmy, karioka, and more. These dances were studied in social dance schools. Dance schools were held in many cities of Galicia, namely in Berezhany, Boryslav, Brody, Drohobych, Zolochiv, Kolomyia, Nadvirna, Sambir, Staryi Sambir, Stanislaviv, Stryi, and Truskavets. The content and methods of teaching social dances depended solely on the professionalism of dance school teachers. Dance teachers formed professional relationships. During 1919–1939, there were several such associations in Lviv, uniting professional and licensed dance teachers from all over Eastern Galicia.

The Subject

The subject of the research is the degree of influence of Sunni and Shi’ism on political processes in Arab countries. The object of the research is Islam as the legal basis of the state. The authors examine in detail such aspects of the topic as the historical analysis of the origin of Islam, the reasons for the division of Islam into Sunnis and Shiites, a comparative analysis of the two branches of Islam, the peculiarities of the legal schools of Islam, the interaction of Sunnis and Shiites with state power. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of interpretations (kalams) of the Qur’an and Sunnah. The study is fundamental and is aimed at the historical and political analysis of Islam in the XXI century. The relevance of this topic is confirmed by numerous studies of the described problems. The main conclusions of the study are that one of the key problems in the Arab states is the issue of the origin of power, which remains relevant even in the XXI century. The authors’ special contribution to the study of the topic is the hypothesis that the radicalism of Islam is associated with its short history in comparison with Christianity. Thus, Islam in the XXI century. is still at an active stage of formation, which leads to the emergence of Islamic terrorist organizations. The novelty of this scientific study lies in the consideration of historical processes in the political discourse of the XXI century.

‘Tout, dans ses charmes, est dangereux’: music, gesture and the dangers of French pantomime, 1748–1775

Harmful Effects

AbstractIn 1779 Chabanon noted the potential danger inherent in gesture because it might produce instantaneous and harmful effects. This article examines how Rameau, Rousseau and Grétry incorporated putatively dangerous gestures into the pantomimes they wrote for their operas, and explains why these pantomimes matter at all. In Rameau's Pygmalion (1748), Rousseau's Le Devin du village (1752–3) and Grétry's Céphale et Procris (1773, 1775), pantomime was presented as a type of dance opposite to the conventional social dance. But the significance of this binary opposition changed drastically around 1750, in response to Rousseau's own moral philosophy developed most notably in the First Discourse (1750). Whereas the pantomimes in Rameau's Pygmalion dismiss peasants as uncultured, it is high culture that becomes the source of corruption in the pantomime of Rousseau's Le Devin du village, where uncultured peasants are praised for their morality. Grétry extended Rousseau's moral claim in the pantomime of Céphale et Procris by commending an uneducated girl who turns down sexual advances from a courtier. Central to these pantomimes are the ways in which musical syntax correlates with drama. Contrary to the predictable syntax in most social dances, these pantomimes bring to the surface syntactical anomalies that may be taken to represent moral licence: an unexpected pause, a jarring diminished-seventh chord, and a phrase in a minuet with odd-number bars communicate danger. Although social dances were still the backbone of most French operas, pantomime provided an experimental interface by which composers contested the meanings of expressive topoi; it thus emerged as a vehicle for progressive social thinking.

The Right

The right of sexual autonomy occupies a central place in our constitutional scheme of individual liberties. Consensual sexual relations, including fornication, adultery, and sodomy, now presumptively lie beyond the reach of law’s regulatory power. But as this chapter shows, there is one long-standing law banning consensual sexual relations that remains solidly on the books in every state: the prohibition on adult incest. The subject of adult incest opens the door to a psychoanalytic perspective on the right of sexual autonomy and the modern laws regulating sexual choice. The chapter explores how powerful unconscious forces deriving from the parties’ close familial relationship render the “choice” to have sex a potentially tragic illusion. Similar kinds of unconscious coercion can happen in other contexts as well. For example, the therapist-patient relationship also involves forms of unconscious coercion not known to the parties themselves, and deserving of some regulation. Understanding in close detail the unconscious dynamics in adult incest and the therapist-patient relationship can illuminate less obvious forms of sexual coercion in more common types of professional relationships. A psychoanalytic perspective has a crucial role to play in defining the range and meaning of sexual autonomy as a fundamental right in our constitutional culture.

The subject of this research is the forecast or prediction of color. The Russian science does not feature work dedicated to such aspect; however, foreign sources approached prediction of color from various perspectives, most often viewing the color trends as an inseparable part of fashion. The goal of this work consists in determination of the place and time of conception of the color forecasts, historical analysis of evolution of this phenomenon, and assumptions on further development of this direction. Territorially, the epicenters of development of color forecasts are determined in Europe (France and England), in America (the United States), in Asia (Japan). The author describes the peculiarities of color predictions in each country – at certain stages one or another county was ahead or behind; whit the advent of the Internet, everything moves to online format and becomes more dynamic. The article follows the forecast of color since its emergence, highlighting all stages of its development and establishment. The chronological framework of its development stages stretches from the early XVIII century until modernity. From the earliest to more recent, these stages include the color cards, mediators and agents (between factories, textile workers and customers, and stores), trade fairs and expositions, online services and websites. It is determined that with the course of time, the methods and instruments for predicting color were being accumulated and used together; the new colors were added, while the already existing did not lose their relevance. Despite the development of technologies, a final word in forecasting color trends belongs to a human, based on experience and intuition.

This article was created to present a broader, more critical view of the idea and concept of sustainable development, which has dominated the discourse on development for several decades. Based on the analysis of the literature on the subject, an attempt was made to state and explain how the original assumptions of the concept should be understood today. The most important contemporary challenges related to sustainable development have been identified. First, a historical analysis of the concepts of development and sustainable development was conducted, based on which it could be noticed that the original assumptions of the ideas have been forgotten. Then, the main dimensions (areas) of sustainable development in the literature of the last thirty years were examined. It has been noticed that the dimensions and their relations were very varied, and, first of all, defined in a rather general way. In an attempt to overcome that inaccuracy, efforts have been made to define the dimensions of sustainable development in a more precise way. Based on the analysis of the literature of the subject, it was determined that it was necessary to define the concept of sustainable development in a broader way, through the prism of 6 hierarchical dimensions: an expanded and modified economic area, a social justice area, an area of environment, an area of needs and rights, a democracy area as well as an area of long-term perspective and relations. The performed research confirmed that if sustainable development was to represent the most important current and future development issues, it should be structured around the key demands raised by scientists.

Moving from the political margins toward a black mainstream, many African American social dances often emerge in queer communities of color. This chapter explores politically embodied consequences and affects of queer social dances that enjoy concentrated attention outside their originary communities. J-setting, voguing, and hand-dancing—a form of queer dance popular in the 1970s–1980s—offer sites to consider the materialization of queer black aesthetic gesture, in dances that redefine gender identities and confirm fluid political economies of social dance and motion. These queer dances simultaneously resist and reinscribe gender conformity in their aesthetic devices; they also suggest alternative histories of black social dance economies in which queer creativity might be valued as its own end. Ultimately, the chapter suggests a haunting presence of queers-of-color aesthetic imperatives within political mobilizations of black social dance, continually—and ironically—conceived as part and parcel of rhetorics of liberation and freedom of movement.

Turbulent periods of transition from socialism to neoliberal capitalism, which have affected the relationships between holders of power and governing structures in Serbia, have left a lasting impact on the urban spaces of Belgrade’s cityscape. The typical assumption is that the transformation of the urban form in the post-socialist transition is induced by planning interventions which serve to legitimize these neoliberal aspirations. The methodological approach of this paper is broadly structured as a chronological case analysis at three levels: the identification of three basic periods of institutional change, historical analysis of the urban policies that permitted transformation of the subject area, and morphogenesis of the selected site alongside the Sava River in New Belgrade. Neoliberal aspirations are traced through the moments of destruction and moments of creation as locally specific manifestations of neoliberal mechanisms observable through the urban form. Comparison of all three levels of the study traces how planning and political decisions have affected strategic directions of development and, consequently, the dynamics and spatial logic of how new structures have invaded the street frontage. The paper demonstrates that planning interventions in the post-socialist transition period, guided by the neoliberal mechanisms, has had a profound impact on the super-block morphology.

The Way

‘Modernity’ has long been a working category of historical analysis in Russian and Soviet studies. Like any established category, it bears a history of its own characterised by founding assumptions, conceptual possibilities and lasting interpretive habits. Stephen Kotkin's work has played a special role in framing the kind of scholarship this category has enabled and the kind of modernity it has assigned to twentieth-century Russia. Kotkin's 1995Magnetic Mountainintroduced the concept of ‘socialist modernity’. His continued work with the concept in his 2001Kritikaarticle ‘Modern Times’ and his 2001Armageddon Avertedmarked crucial moments in the history of the discipline and have positioned the author as a pioneering and dominant voice on the subject for nearly two decades. Given the defining nature of Kotkin's work, a critical discussion of its impact on the way the discipline conceives of Soviet modernisation and presents it to non-Russian fields is perhaps overdue. Here, I approach Kotkin's work on modernity as the field's collective property in need of a critical, deconstructive reading for its underlying assumptions, prescribed master narratives, and resultant paradoxes.

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) of foreign language and profile disciplines is currently one of the innovative approaches to teaching foreign language for professional communication to students of non-linguistic universities. However, this approach is not widely used in universities of the Russian Federation. One of the main problems of this lies in the objec-tive difficulties of a foreign language teacher to develop the content of teaching foreign language for professional communication so that it reflects the features of the future professional activity of graduates of the main professional educational programs. We see the solution of the existing problem in the selection of the subject content based on the principle of reliance actualization of interdisciplinary connection and intraprofile specialization of students. In the this work, we a) analyze three approaches to teaching foreign language to students of non-linguistic universities (English for specific purposes – ESP; English as a medium of instruction – EMI; content and language integrated learning of foreign language and subject area); b) consider studies on the selection of the subject content of teaching foreign language to students of “Jurisprudence”, “Gardening”, “Agricultural chemistry and soil science”, “Musical and Instrumental art”, “Vocal art” and “Art of folk singing” programmes; c) develop the content of teaching foreign language for professional communication to students of an agricultural university in the 35.03.07 – “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products” programme in three teaching profiles: “Expertise of quality and safety of agricultural products”, “Technology of production and processing of crop products” and “Technology of production and processing of livestock products”.
