В статье проанализированы практики сохранения и трансляции историко-культурного наследия космонавтики в Краснодарском крае в период с 1960-х гг. до настоящего времени, определена роль данной деятельности в формировании культурной памяти. Основными источниками исследования послужили документы краевого общественного движения «Кубань и космонавтика», краснодарской региональной общественной организации «Федерация космонавтики Кубани», материалы музеев, периодики, интернет-сайтов, изданий, запечатлевших память об освоении космоса, памятники и памятные места, данные топонимики. Авторы рассматривают основные этапы, содержание и тенденции развития «космической» коммеморации, классифицируют «места памяти» и региональные коммеморативные практики, прослеживают преемственность советских и современных подходов. Сделаны выводы о многообразии форм сохранения памяти, об истории покорения космоса и его региональном «измерении», роли коммеморации в формировании региональной идентичности. The article analyzes the practices of preserving and transmitting the historical and cultural heritage of cosmonautics in Krasnodar Krai in the period from the 1960s to the present, and determines the significance of these activities in the formation of cultural memory. Kuban has a rich “space” heritage: scientists, test pilots, and cosmonauts lived and worked here, and dozens of Soviet and Russian cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin, visited the region in different years. The main sources of the research were documents of the regional public movement Kuban and Cosmonautics, and the Krasnodar Regional Public Organization Kuban Cosmonautics Federation; materials of museums, periodicals, Internet sites, publications that captured the memory of space exploration, monuments and memorable places, toponymic data, works of fine art. Among the research methods are comparative-historical, typological, retrospective, as well as the method of included observation, due to the long-term activity of one of the authors in Kuban Cosmonautics Federation. New facts about the Kuban cosmonauts and scientists of the space industry are presented. The authors classify “places of memory”. The memorial complexes of cosmonautics in Kuban villages (to Yu.V. Kondratyuk in Oktyabrskaya, to N.G. Chernyshev in Kazan, to G.Ya. Bakhchivandzhi in Brinkovskaya); monuments and busts, commemorative plaques to the figures of cosmonautics (Yu.A. Gagarin, D.I. Kozlov, V.V. Gorbatko, V.I. Sevastyanov, N.G. Chernyshev); museums, including specialized ones (the Museum of Cosmonautics in village Arkhipo-Osipovka, the memorial museum of Yu.V. Kondratyuk, and others); planetariums and observatories; natural objects (memorial trees, alleys). The article describes the activities of Kuban’s public organizations created for the popularization of the legacy of cosmonautics. The influence of space exploration on regional toponyms and names of institutions is noted. The main actors, stages, content and trends in the development of “space” commemoration, its all-Union (all-Russian) and regional components, the continuity of Soviet and modern approaches are considered. The authors conclude the “space” heritage is transmitted through the interaction of public organizations, government agencies, museum and educational institutions, representatives of scientific and artistic intelligentsia. The popularization of the space heritage is essential for patriotic education, for the formation in society of a sense of pride of Russian scientific and technological achievements, and for the dissemination of knowledge about the contribution of the natives of Kuban to space exploration.

Contemporary African philosophy is in a state of flux, but the flow is not without some watersheds. The chief reason for the flux lies in the fact that Africa, in most part, is in a state of transition from a traditional condition to a modernized one. Philosophically and in other ways, the achievement of independence was the most significant landmark in this transition. Independence from European rule (which began in Libya in 1951, followed by Sudan in 1956, Ghana in 1957 and continued to be won at a rapid pace in other parts of Africa in the 1960s) did not come without a struggle. That struggle was, of necessity, both political and cultural. Colonialism involved not only political subjection but also cultural depersonalization. Accordingly, at independence it was strongly felt that plans for political and economic reconstruction should reflect the needs not only for modernization but also for cultural regeneration. These are desiderata which, while not incompatible in principle, are difficult to harmonize in practice. The philosophical basis of the project had first to be worked out and this was attempted by the first wave of post-independence leaders. The task of devising technical philosophies cognizant of Africa’s past and present and oriented to her long-term future has been in the hands of a crop of professional philosophers trained in Western-style educational institutions. Philosophical results have not been as dramatic as in the case of the political, but the process is ongoing. The political figures that led African states to independence were not all philosophers by original inclination or training. To start with only the best known, such as Leopold Senghor of Senegal, or Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, were trained philosophers, but others, such as Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, brought only an educated intelligence and a good sense of their national situations to the enterprise. In all cases they were rulers enthusiastically anointed by their people to chart the new course and lead them to the promised land. An example of how practical urgency can inspire philosophical productivity can be found in the way that all these philosophers propounded blueprints for reconstruction with clearly articulated philosophical underpinnings. Circumstantial necessity, then, rather than Platonic selection made these leaders philosopher-kings. It is significant, also, to note that all the leaders mentioned (and the majority of their peers) argued for a system of socialism deriving from their understandings of African traditional thought and practice, and from their perceptions of the imperatives generated by industrialization, such as it had been. Concern with this latter aspect of the situation led to some flirtation and even outright marriage with Marxism. But, according to the leaders concerned, the outcome of this fertilization of thought had enough African input to be regarded as an African progeny. Accordingly, practically all of them proffered their theories and prescriptions under the rubric of African socialism. No such labelling is possible in the work of African philosophers, but there are some patterns of preoccupation.

Movement, particularly repeated or ritualized movement, can play an important role in the practices of cultural memory. Using Jan Assmann’s concept of cultural and communicative memory to explore the creation and reproduction of cultural memory through movement, Memory and Movement in the Roman Fora from Antiquity to Metro C illuminates the enduring influence of ancient street networks on the modern cityscape. The Forum Romanum and the neighboring Imperial Fora were places of memory in antiquity and are major tourist sites today, but they had different relationships to urban movement networks in the past. Amy Russell argues that the pattern of long-term continuity and recent change in each area’s relationship to the wider city and its movement patterns are direct consequences of the way cultural heritage has been consumed and cultural memory constructed through movement.

The study examines the theoretical aspects of the patriotic education of primary schoolchildren in the context of the use of information technologies, defines the meaning and functions of information technologies in the educational process of school education. The patriotic upbringing of primary school students is more than relevant, since the preservation and revival of cultural heritage begins with a small homeland (family, courtyard, school, etc.) and is a key moment in the upbringing of the modern generation. In order to study the level of patriotic education of primary school students, we conducted a survey of schoolchildren, the results of which showed: most of them have a low level of patriotic education, which is due to the lack of due attention of the state as a whole and educational institutions in particular to the issue of patriotic education of schoolchildren. Thus, the problem of patriotic education of primary schoolchildren in the context of digitalization of education has acquired new relevance in connection with new views on the quality of upbringing and education of the younger generation.
