The problem of interpretation of anthropological artistic images by Fyodor Buslaev is considered in the article; those are presented in monuments of national literature. Tracing sources of origin of the aesthetic ideas in the most ancient forms of language, Fyodor Buslaev made an attempt to explain development of artistic views of the people of antiquity. He connected this long process with infl uence and interaction of many factors – evolution of religious mythological ideas and epic creative work, streamlining of matrimonial relations, more rational distribution of gender and role functions in everyday life, formation of of gender identity idea, origin of moral imperatives. Mythology and folklore gave him an opportunity to highlight changes of female images (from mannish battle-axes to owners of a classical ideal of beauty); the sage explained their aestheticisation with change of female essence criteria ideas and "canons" of female attractivity. Fyodor Buslaev came to a conclusion which was later confi rmed by Vladimir Propp and Aron Gurevich – indicators of external appeal of both women and men were inalienable from ethical estimates by society which considered moral nobility, decent conduct of life of mythical and epic characters.

Introduction: the Mordovian drama genre paradigm develops constantly and is presently enriched with creative innovations that demonstrate the search for the new forms of interpreting reality and the ways to present individual and personal spirits of people. Innovative phenomena in drama update the ethnic art literature and make significant adjustments to its aesthetic evolution. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to understand the artistic processes taking place in Mordovian drama. The object of the study is the artistic particularities of A. Teryoshkin’s genre experiment in the monodrama «The Whistleblower». Objective: to analyze the genre specifics of the monodrama «The Whistleblower» by A. Teryoshkin. Research materials: the monodrama «The Whistleblower» by A. Teryoshkin. Results and novelty of the research: the scientific novelty of the article is due to the small study of the creative work of A. Teryoshkin as the dramatist. The author comes to the conclusion that the analysis of individual human destiny in the monodrama by A. Teryoshkin is carried out by means of self-reflection of the hero in the form of a monologue story revealing the inner motifs of actions. In general, all this reflects the complexity and multidimensionality of the surrounding reality. The fact that the playwright uses extraordinary artistic means within the genre form, innovative for the national literature, confirms his intention to develop the aesthetic framework of Mordovian drama.

The article highlights an important evolutionary period of national literature – the second half of the 60s – 70s of the last century. The author touches upon the problem of finding promising ways to develop the aesthetic consciousness of the people at the stage of transition from traditional reflective models based on folklore ideas and archetypes of ethnic thinking to the structures of a new formation. It is suggested that the appearance of a special type of images and their transition into cross-cutting symbols, and then into kenotypes, in these years is the result of a purposeful search for stable style-forming constructs in the process of overcoming the boundaries of established apperceptive models. The article identifies two main types of Balkar poetry kenotypes – reformational ones, created on the basis of ethnic archetypes, and autonomous ones, built within the framework of an"intertextual refrain". The author of the article considers the mechanism of formation of kenotypes to be the same for both types, which is convincingly justified by him on the examples of the works of famous Balkar poets -K. Sh. Kuliyev and T. M. Zumakulova.

In this article, an attempt is made to analyze the communal traditions in youth festivals and rituals. Traditional festivals and rituals are among the fundamental elements of ethnic culture that affect the functioning of the entire system of everyday life. Youth festivals combined work and active spiritual creativity. This is particularly evident in cases when elements of censorship of morals were included in the play staged - the assessment of the assessment of individual cases by the community and rural communities. The younger generation was attached to the established way of life, the aesthetic views of the people, moral and ethical norms of behavior, cultural and ideological values. Chronology of the study: the first half of the XIX century - until now.

The purpose of the article to research the creative work of choreographers of Ukraine, who devoted a significant role in the staging work to dances on a labor theme. Relying on a certain historical concreteness, they accurately reflected different aspects of the relationship of people and classes in work with the expressive means of choreography. Most of them reflect the artistic images of people for whom work is the first vital need, a source of creative joy, and a sacred duty to society. Therefore, the content of their works was a love of work, a creative attitude towards it, a constant desire to improve their work, to increase their contribution to the common cause. The modern world has, to some extent, changed the attitude and attitudes of people in production, as well as their attitude to work. Therefore, artists-choreographers face new tasks in creative work on the creation of dances on a labor theme, and at the same time in reproducing life problems that concern a modern working man. The research methodology is based on the use of comparative and art historical methods. This methodological approach allows us to reveal and analyze the features and significance of dances on labor topics, which were staged by famous Ukrainian choreographers in folk stage choreography. The scientific novelty of the work lies in expanding the process of the creative associative imagination of the choreographer-director, using the images of workers from the people choreography, first of all, he must study and analyze well how people, their morals, way of life, technology have changed in the new conditions of society. New life gives birth to new dances, new plots, new choreographic compositions. Conclusions. When staging a folk-stage dance on a labor theme, in which the main character is the folk image of a worker, the choreographer, combining various arts in musical-plastic synthesis and possessing all the expressive means of dance, must understand well that the image of a single worker-worker is not the traits of a real person are simply written off; this is a generalized, typified image of a certain group of working people. In some cases, these generalizations in scale may be the face of the workers of an entire large enterprise. Thanks to the artist's creative work, the artistic images of workers reflect not only the production process, their relationship in production, but also form the national consciousness of society.

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.

In the article the author analyzes the main notional lines in the work of A.I. Solzhenitsyn through the prism of Russian philosophy legacy. According to the author the analysis of the nature, motives and lie in the works of the writer are related to the respective works of F.M. Dostoevsky, K.N. Leontiev and other Russian thinkers. «All Communist content is turned into nonsense by the Russian life», and «all its nonsense is severe due to the intolerable truth of the suffering…», – this statement of F.A. Stepun is well pertinent to the creative work of A.I. Solzhenitsyn that shows vivid examples of barbaric cruelty of the authorities towards the people. Still, according to the author of the article, the reasons for such cruelty were reflected even earlier, in the works of Russian philosophers of the 19th century.

The people who work with computers, the programmers, analysts, and operators who seem to live by rules of their own and seldom leave their own environment, tend to be very cynical towards the stories of electronic brains. This attitude will appear hardly surprising when one eventually learns that the computer is a very simple device and is as far removed from an electronic brain as a bicycle from a spaceship. Programmers in particular are the people most aware that computers are no substitute for the human brain; in fact, the preparation of work to be run on a computer can be one of the most mind-bending exercises encountered in everyday life. Databases and database systems have become an essential component of everyday life in modern society. In the course of a day, most of us encounter several activities that involve some interaction with a database. So in this paper we will talk about how to manage the different type of data involved in any form in the database.

This chapter recovers the aesthetic significance of a reader’s mediated relation to the objects and experiences represented in realist fiction. When George Eliot’s intrusive narrators in Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, and Middlemarch cue readers to form impressions that are as distinct as possible, they expose the indeterminacy that persists in the most concrete passages of literary description, alerting us to the limits of how much we can ever know about a fictional world. By drawing on the aesthetics of indeterminacy advanced by Edmund Burke, this chapter reveals that Eliot’s commitment to narratives of disillusionment exists in tension with a surprisingly Romantic aversion to finitude, and that literary realism enchants ordinary things by freeing them from the solidity and determinacy they possess in everyday life.

AbstractBy the early 2010s, a number of Malawian poets in their twenties had begun to substitute the elliptical expression of earlier generations with a language that resonated with popular idioms. As poetry directed at ‘the people’, its medium is spoken word rather than print, performed to live audiences and distributed through CDs, radio programmes and the internet. Crafted predominantly in Chichewa, the poems also address topics of popular interest. The selection of poetry presented here comes from a female and a male poet, who, unbeknown to each other, prepared poems sharply critical of homosexuality and what they regarded as its foreign and local advocacy. The same poets have also gained success for their love poems, which have depicted intimate desires in remarkably compatible ways for both women and men. The poets who performed ‘homophobic’ verse went against popular gender stereotypes in their depictions of romantic love and female and male desires. This introductory essay, as a contribution toAfrica's Local Intellectuals series, discusses the aesthetic challenges that the new poets have launched in the context of Malawi's modern poetry. With regard to gender relations in their love poems, the introduction also considers the poets’ possible countercultural contribution despite their avowed commitment to perform for ‘the people’.
