The article analyzes the influence of informal spaces of the end of the XX century on the formation of the cultural environment of the cities of Western Ukraine, shows the importance of cult cafes as alternative spaces where informal art communities were gathered and leadership groups of the 90s were formed. It clarifies the role of the object in the interdisciplinary relations of cultural discourse of the XXI century invoking the analysis of factual material, interviews with participants in the processes, scientific discussion, and published texts. The author looks at the subject of research as reflection originating from the present. The article determines that alternative spaces declare the values of "living" through the connection of a man with the place and through places with spaces. The culture of cafés being traditional for the region has been reflected in numerous narratives. For the generations of the 70s- 90s of the 20th century, cafés became the most democratic space playing the role of a communicator, replacing modern media. The author notes the gradual movement of these locations from urban centers or intersections of creative intelligentsia in the 80s to remote or even peripheral areas of cities in the 90s, which was associated with changes in infrastructure, commercialization, new tastes and aesthetic preferences. The cafés of the 90s generation played the role of clubs for countercultural communities, whose activities opposed not only the system, but also the aesthetic paradigm.

Children with Asperger syndrome still need to be adjusted, in regulating their emotion, to their enjoyment in an activity that will be their emotional allocation. Art is able to improve their self-ability, to strengthen their self-confidence, and also to re-shape lack of knowledge about their own identity. This is because activity of art becomes a collection of inspiration, the aspect of imagination that is closely related to the aesthetic experience. This was a qualitative research as a study intended to understand the phenomenon of something that is experienced by the subject of research. For example: behaviour, perception, motivation, and action in holistic way and described in form of words and language, in a specific-natural context and by utilizing various methods. The research findings show that ability of emotional regulation is the ability of the subject in receiving and understanding a command, and then in minimizing tantrum, so that the subject is able to achieve a treatment therapy; including the subject's ability to identify and draw an object or other objects around them, to recognize some painting tools and to answer questions orally or in writing through the image media. The therapy can be packaged through art education based on painting activity which is the advantage of an area itself. Schools present learning programs that also support character education and the creative potential of the children, so that they can live independently later.

The debate over the aesthetic pleasingness of the golden section is still ongoing, over 100 years after Fechner's pioneering investigations. The present study attempts to advance the debate by investigating the role of context in determining which rectangular proportions are preferred. Participants were shown three different ranges of proportions in three different orders. The order of presentation of ranges influenced aesthetic preferences most when the first range presented contained relatively “thin” rectangles. However, when the first range presented contained relatively “thick” rectangles, or had the golden section as its mid-point, then the most preferred proportion was in the vicinity of the golden section. These results are discussed in relation to the current controversy concerning the aesthetic significance of the golden section.

Dove Attia and Albert Cohen – French authors and stage directors, and musical producers – contribute to the development of the genre in the XXI century. The subject of this research is their creativity, which is poorly studied by the science of theater. The goal lies in describing the role of Dove Attia and Albert Cohen in the development of the French musical on the theoretical level.  Research methodology is comprised on the following approaches: interdisciplinary, which involves scientific theories and concepts from other fields of knowledge; historical-culturological, which reveals that factors contributing to the convergence of French culture with the traditions of other cultures; systematic, which examines professional performance in French musical as a result of the works of Dove Attia and Albert Cohen. The scientific novelty lies in introduction into the scientific discourse of previously missing materials on the works of Dove Attia and Albert Cohen, their activity in the context of evolution of the genre of French musical. The theoretical significance consists in characterization of the concepts of “French musical of the new century”, "interpretation of classics", “French chanson style” within the framework of art history and methodology of science. The acquired result reveal the role of establishment and proliferation of French musical, as well as popularize the works of Dove Attia and Albert Cohen, which determines the practical importance of this study. It is noted that in French musical, Dove Attia and Albert Cohen invigorate the aesthetic tastes and mentality of the French, using it as an opportunity to defend the national values in a savory and beautiful way.

This paper, based on Roger Pouivet’s “applied ontology” theory, studies the effect of Warhol’s Brillo soap boxes, a work that could not convince the art world, when it was first shown, to accept it as an art piece. We strive to answer two questions: In the contemporary age, what aesthetic criteria turn a human-made work into an artwork? And deriving from Pouivete’s “applied ontology” theory, how is a contemporary artwork considered as the personal symbols of the artist and how are the aesthetic characteristics of the work received? An artwork in any style, form and content, includes contextual and formal symbols. In the contemporary age, this becomes a mix of personal symbols and already known collective symbols of a culture that together play a defining role in the creation of the artwork. In other words, a work will be recognized as an artwork when it is the subject of arguments among art experts, even without needing to reach any consensus.

Learning mathematics, like learning language and the aesthetic subjects, is an active process and should call into play our imaginative and creative powers so that the subject is a delight to pupils of all ages. Investigations of every aspect of mathematics—number knowledge itself and written calculations, as well as measures, shapes, and representations of all kinds—are included. In the title of this article, the word experience could very well be changed to investigations. Investigations, to me, cover a wider range of activities than experiences, which are often thought of as practical experiences.

Most of the groundbreaking works of Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801–1887), who paved the way for modern experimental psychology, psychophysics, and empirical aesthetics, are so far only available in German. With the first full text translation of Fechner’s article on The Aesthetic Association Principle ( Das Associationsprincip in der Aesthetik), we want to fill in one of the blank spots in the reception of his Aesthetics from Below (Aesthetik von Unten). In his 1866 article, Fechner devises a fundamental principle that accounts for the role of associations in the formation of aesthetic preferences. Based on concrete everyday examples and thought experiments, he demonstrates how aesthetic choices are largely shaped by the observer’s learning history (associative factors) rather than by an object’s formal properties (direct factors). Fechner’s Aesthetic Association Principle has lost nothing of its initial relevance as the role of content and personal meaning is still grossly underrated in theory and practice of empirical aesthetics today.

The article presents a scientific discussion on trends and prospects for product innovation in the tourism business. The main objective of the study is to substantiate the nature and role of innovative tourism products in improving the efficiency of economic and product activities of tourism enterprises, the need for their implementation in tourism at its present stage in Ukraine. Analysis of literature sources and existing approaches to solving the problem of implementation of innovative products by tourism enterprises allowed us to formulate conceptual tools in this area, taking into account industry specifics, to characterize the types of product innovations of tourism enterprises. The topicality of solving this scientific problem boils down to the fact that in conditions of competition, the development of tourism business is ensured primarily by the use of product innovations by tourism enterprises, the introduction of effective ways to implement priority areas of innovation. The study of the problem of implementation of innovative tourist products in the practical activities of enterprises is carried out in the following logical sequence: the subject matter and types of innovative tourist products have been analysed, the main prerequisites for their implementation in the activities of enterprises have been defined; the main trends in the development of innovations in the tourism business of Ukraine, in particular, new tourism products and innovative approaches used to retain regular customers and attract new ones in a competitive environment; an optimal model of implementation of innovative tourist products has been developed. The methodological tools of the conducted study were general theoretical and specific methods, in particular, logical and dialectical, graphoanalytical method, method of scientific abstraction, systemic and integrated approaches. The study covered the period of 2010—2019. The object of research is an innovative tourist product that allowed implementation of its model taking into account the effect of external and internal environment. The article presents the results of empirical analysis of the main trends in the development of innovation at the present stage of development of the tourism business in Ukraine. In addition, there are reasons that inhibit innovation in tourism, which must be taken into account for the development and implementation of innovative tourist products. The study theoretically proves and supports that the development of innovative activities and the introduction of innovative tourist products provide tourism enterprises with competitive advantages. The results of the study can be useful in the practical work of travel agencies that seek to create a portfolio of innovative products and increase the efficiency of their activities.

The role of so-called normal and dark personality traits in everyday preferences, interests, and choices is visible in different domains of life. However, a small number of studies have dealt with individual differences in dark personality traits and aesthetic preferences. The domain of dark personality traits is in recent studies generally conceptualized as the Dark Tetrad — comprised of Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism. Thus, the aim of this research was to examine the relationship between the Dark Tetrad and visual aesthetic preferences. The sample consisted of 170 participants (Mage = 29.09, SDage = 10.66; 77.1 % females). Participants completed the Short Dark Triad and the Varieties of Sadistic Tendencies questionnaires, and also rated their familiarity and preference for 15 paintings with five different types of motives (religious, abstract, oriental, violence, and landscape). It was shown, based on looking at zero-order correlations that only narcissism positively correlates with the preference for paintings with violent motives. Also, a series of regression analyses were performed, which showed that the only significant regression model is the one that reflects the role of reduced psychopathy in the preference for religious motives. The first finding can be explained on the basis of stable findings on the relationship between narcissism and aggression, and also narcissism and violence. The second finding can be interpreted in the context that general religiosity has previously been shown to be negatively associated with psychopathy. It can be concluded that dark personality traits are one of the factors that affect aesthetic preferences.
