This article takes aim at the degeneration of modern society and its causes originating from the crisis of individualism. For this, the transformation of art from its roots, to its application in the modern world, has been examined. Art has been used as an indicator to explore how capitalism utilizes esthetic pleasure in order to influence the masses. The immobilization of intellectual space has been analyzed through mold-city installation and concretized by delving into the relationship between human perception and contemporary artistic expressions. On the same line, how others are using this relationship for their economic benefit ensues and the function of the artist, the consequences of his practices upon modern society are explored. Today, art has lost her meaning and became an absorber. This is because of the quantity which controls the values but not the quality. The individualization started getting the same meaning as materialization, destructs creativity and intuition. In other words, the buyer and the purchased material changed places. Human, being alienated from himself, lost his identity in the mass then marginalized to the rest. The separation between those individuals doesn’t mean “difference” and they are stereotyped by materialization. The art shows itself as a symptom of this societal crisis. In the modern world, the essence and the shape show themselves as a quality and quantity. The control lines imposed in order to legitimating that degeneration, replace old values with new ones, not only by stereotyping but also archetyping these. In this way, the real place that the mass exploitation is applying is not the showcase but the collective subconscious life. So the art, because of its qualities, is able to affect directly that area, became like an ideal instrument. Keywords: individu, space, ıdea, mold, art

Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany. Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly. This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

AbstractThe present research on Czernowitz focuses mostly on the 20th century and on the works and memoirs of Holocaust survivors. But Czernowitz was at its cultural and economical height at the end of the 19th century, and it was during that time that the myth of the ,,ideal city" was established. This essay stresses the importance of that time period for understanding the ,,Czernowitz myth," and it analyzes the relationship between the ,,real" place Czernowitz and the literary topos of a ,,sunken city" (Rose Ausländer).

This book takes up the problem of judging works of art using moral standards. When we say that a work is racist, or morally dangerous, what do we mean? The book is divided into two parts. The first part takes up the moral question on its own. What could it mean to say that a work of art (rather than, say, a human being) is immoral? The second part steps back and asks about how moral evaluation fits into the larger task of evaluating artworks. If an artwork is immoral, what does that tell us about how to value the artwork? The overall approach of the book is moderately skeptical. The book argues that many of the reasons given for thinking that works of art are immoral do not stand up to careful scrutiny. It further tries to show that even when works of art are rightly condemned from a moral point of view, the relationship between that moral flaw and their value as artworks is complex. The book defends a moderate version of autonomism between morality and aesthetics. But the real purpose of the book is to highlight the complexities and difficulties in evaluating artworks morally—many philosophers of art have simply assumed that artworks can be evaluated morally and proceeded as though such assessments were unproblematic.

Rapid Shift

The article situates video art produced in Armenia in the late 1990s and early 2000s in the framework of larger social transformations from modern to post-modern society. It explores the ways in which the paradigm shift in media representations in Armenia affected art production and reception. By critically examining theories of video art as developed in the context of the Euro-American academia and their applicability to historically specific contexts, the article argues that the late 1990s brought about a rapid shift in the relationship between the real and representation in which media images were perceived as more real than “reality” of everyday non-mediatized experiences.

L’Autore partendo dall’analisi di alcuni testi del filosofo Carlos Cardona mette in luce soprattutto il rapporto che sussiste tra il dato della realtà e il soggetto umano che entra in rapporto con esso. Così si guadagna sia una più profonda conoscenza dell’oggetto che un accento più forte sulla persona umana come auspicava la modernità. I temi studiati da Cardona e messi in evidenza dall’Autore sono quelli classici: la creazione, l’essere, la persona umana ecc. Mentre la novità consiste nell’affrontare questi temi mettendo l’accento non sull’oggetto o sul soggetto ma sulla relazione fra i due. Questa prospettiva dovrebbe creare meno problemi nell’affrontare metafisicamente tali temi, non solo, ma si avrebbe un solo grande respiro ma a due polmoni: oggetto e soggetto. Lo strumento che tiene insieme i due “polmoni” è l’atto filosofico originario che insiste proprio sulla realtà che provoca la mia ragione e la lancia ad indagare sull’oggetto. All’interno di questa modalità di lavoro è più facilmente accettabile la presenza di un oggetto strano che è l’“essere” e che si propone come consistenza della realtà e di un ente particolare che è la persona umana in cui possono essere rilevate alcune peculiarità: la sua unicità, l’immortalità dell’anima, la razionalità ecc.Based on texts by the philosopher Carlos Cardona, the author shows the relationship between the real datum and the human being who gets to know it. In this way, he achieves a deeper knowledge of the object, at the same time stressing the importance of the person, in the spirit of modernity. Topics under study are classic: creation, the being, the human person… The novelty resides in not considering object or subject by themselves, but in the relationship between them. From that perspective, the metaphysical difficulty of studying these topics is reduced, at the same time using both “lungs” to breathe: object and subject. The medium joining them is the originary philosophical act, which stimulates the reason, made fruitful by contact with reality, to go deeper into the knowledge of reality itself. This type of work makes the presence of a “foreign body,” such as the being, more acceptable, and allows the analysis of some peculiarities of the human person: unicity, immortal soul, rationality, etc.

As the present collection of articles makes clear, there is no shortage of interpretations of or reactions to Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. While nothing drains the laughter out of a joke faster than academic analysis, these articles succeed in raising differing, thought-provoking perspectives on the meaning and significance of one of the biggest cultural phenomena of 2006. And although their methodological and analytical perspectives diverge, these articles share at least one trait in common. Each author faces grappling with the relationship between the Kazakhstan of Sacha Baron Cohen's imagination and, dare I say, the “real Kazakhstan,” a real place inhabited by real people, existing in real time and space. I do not dispute the subjectivity of that reality, but the acceptance of the premise that Kazakhstan and Kazakhstanis in fact exist is essential to my argument, which seeks not to place the country and its people on a level playing field with their hyperreal corollary, but to underscore the power relations that come into play when eroding or rendering insignificant the line between them.

Three questions to political economy (An attempt of system introspection)

System Paradigm

The development of the system paradigm in economic science leads to the formulation of a number of important questions to the political economy as one of the basic directions of economic theory. In this article, on the basis of system introspection, three questions are considered. The first is the relevance of the class approach to the structuring of the socio-economic space; the second is the feasibility of revising the notion of property in the modern world; the third is the validity of the notion of changing formations as the sequence of “slave-owning system — feudal system — capitalist system”. It is shown that in modern society the system approach to the structuring of socio-economic space is more relevant than the class one. Today the classical notion of “property” does not reflect the diversity of production and economic relations in society and should be replaced by the notion of “system property”, which provides a significant expansion of the concepts of “subject of property” and “object of property”. The change of social formations along with the linear component has a more influential cyclic constituent and obeys the system-wide cyclic regularity that reflects the four-cycle sequence of the dominance of one of the subsystems of the macrosystem: project, object, environment and process.

This book promises a ‘radical reappraisal’ (Kates 2005, xv) of Derrida, concentrating particularly on the relationship of Derrida to philosophy, one of the most vexed questions in the reception of his work. The aim of the book is to provide the grounds for this reappraisal through a reinterpretation in particular of two of the major works Derrida published in 1967: Speech and Phenomena and Of Grammatology. However the study of the development of Derrida's work is the real achievement of the book as Kates discusses major works dating from the 1954 study of genesis in Husserl's phenomenology through to the essays on Levinas and Foucault in the early 1960's as part of his story of how Derrida arrived at the writing of the two major works from 1967.

The Relationship

Today in Germany, religion and the churches forfeit their sovereignty of interpretation and ritual concerning death and dying. The funeral director is the first point of contact when death occurs. Therefore he or she is able to influence the relationship between the living and the dead. In the course of this development, the dead body, often referred to as dirty and dangerous, is being sanitized by funeral directors. Funeral directors credit the dead body with a certain quality; they claim that facing the dead may lead to religious or spiritual experiences, and therefore they encourage the public viewing of the dead – a practice which was, and still is not very common in Germany. The new connotation of the dead body is an example for the dislimitation of religion in modern society. The religious framing of death-related practises no longer exclusively belongs to traditional religious institutions and actors, but can take place in commercial business companies as well.

The City

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.
