Englishlanguage and Russian-language Internet sites were used as the source of data for the research, since this environment is especially favorable for the existence and collection of language material of this kind due to the online disinhibition effect. Based on the analysis of the inner form of the word and the stadial model of the Us—Them dichotomy with a gradual transition from the biological to the cultural, proposed by V. G. Lysenko, an attempt is made to derive the main patterns of making derogatory toponyms, and then to compare the characteristics that foreign lands receive within the English and Russian xenophobic discourse, and, as far as possible, to build a holistic image of the concept of foreign space in the English and Russian collective worldview. As a result of the study, a large number of negatively marked toponyms were found in the English and Russian languages. They show clearly similar features both in the formal peculiarities of word formation and in semantics, however, some specificities are also found, which makes it possible to deduce similarities and differences in the English and Russian perception of the concept of foreign space. In general, a significant similarity between English and Russian pejorative names of places is revealed: in both worldviews, different topoi appear as an ugly, unpleasant place inhabited by people (and sometimes not quite people) demonstrating weird, abnormal eating habits and perverted sexual preferences, where the space itself is distorted and defective.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136343939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Khatagova","doi":"10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-52-66","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-52-66","url":null,"abstract":"Studies in the sphere of history and culture of the African continent attract an increasing interest given the ongoing development of African countries, the reinforcement of ties with Russia as well as the erosion of stereotypes about the nations that populate these territories. This article suggests that the Catholic Church played a significant role in the formation of the Rwandese society in 1890–1994, with the genocide of 1994 being one of the central events. In the framework of the study, the author seeks to reveal the background of the genocide that became the culmination of long-lasting contradictions between Hutu and Tutsi in Rwandan society. One of the main goals of the research was to investigate how the terms Hutu and Tutsi were transformed from social to quasi-ethnic ones. Special attention in this regard was paid to the role of the Catholic Church in the destruction of Rwandan collective self-identification, the growth of tribalism, and antagonism within the society. The article employs the methods of content analysis, case study, event analysis, discourse analysis and interview to research the official position of the Catholic Church during the genocide as well as the actions of specific priests, which is crucial for understanding the controversial role of the Church in the tragedy. Starting from the colonial period the Catholic Church had a vast influence not only in the spiritual but also in the social sphere, including education and mass media. Analyzing the empowerment of the Hutu in Rwanda, in general and especially within the Catholic Church in the country, the author traces back the evolution of social relations in the second half of the 20th century in order to help understand the particular historical role of the Church in the country and in relations between the Hutu and Tutsi along with their quest for power. The author concludes that one of the most interesting issues is the merging of the church’s elite and radical political leadership of Rwanda, which resulted in the further degradation of social relations in the country, growing mutual tensions between Hutu and Tutsi and, in the long run, the genocide. The post genocide analysis of the Catholic Church’s politics reveals not only tools used by the institute to facilitate national reconciliation but also the measure of responsibility for the genocide that it has agreed to take.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kozyrev","doi":"10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-146-160","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-146-160","url":null,"abstract":"The article was prepared on the basis of an open lecture given on April 8, 2022 at the Center Church and International Relations MGIMO of the acting Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University A. P. Kozyrev. The article raises the question of the significance of the legacy of Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov (1853–1900) in Russian philosophy. It is argued that Vladimir Solovyov was a man of the universal, ecumenical type. The author characterizes Solovyov’s philosophy as the completion of European philosophical systematics, noting the syncretic nature of his teaching and the influence of Platonism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and early Christianity on the thoughts of the Origen of the 19th century, as Solovyov’s contemporaries called him. He also cites the characteristics of Solovyov’s thought given by individual contemporaries and representatives of subsequent Russian philosophy — S. N. Bulgakov, G. V. Florovsky, F. A. Stepun, A. Kozhev and others. In answers to questions at the end of the lecture, a number of essential provisions on works and personality of V. S. Solovyov are clarified. According to the thinker, the fate of Russia depends on the choice of Christianity or opposing oneself to the entire Christian world. For him, there is a distinction between religious Westernism and non-religious Westernism. A.P. Kozyrev subsumes P. Ya. Chaadaev to the type of religious Westerner, since P. Ya. Chaadaev based his ideas of building a Christian kingdom — the city of God on earth, as Augustine wrote on medieval Christianity. Solovyov per se considered himself somewhere in between. A genius cannot be limited to one political ideology, narrow political worldview, a genius does not think in black and white the categories. It makes Solovyov’s idea that there are not only different Wests, but different Easts — China, Japan, and above all the Middle East, Jerusalem — as well. The nature of these and similar constructions allows us to see in Solovyov not only a taxonomist, but a religious philosopher, who argues that a metaphysical lever is necessary to fight evil. It is not for nothing that Solovyov begins Three Conversations with a reflection on whether evil is only a lack of good, a kind of ghost that can easily be eliminated, or whether evil is a real force with its own substance and its essence, and can be defeated not by abstract good, but by the God-man. Therefore, Three Conversations, Including a Short Story of the Anti-Christ is not just a prophecy about the finale of world history, where the Antichrist appears under the guise of a socialist, humanist and philanthropist, he is a politician, president of the United States of Europe, ready to open sacristies to the Orthodox and return the papacy to Catholics, Protestants create an institute for the study of the Bible, you just have to worship him as God. This idea of fake good is destructive for life itself. All that glitters is not gold — this is the maxim of Three Conversations.

Solovyov","doi":"10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-67-89","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24833/2541-8831-2023-3-27-67-89","url":null,"abstract":"For the first time in Russian (and world) Korean studies, biographies of real historical characters are analyzed within the framework of the concept of monomyth (or hero's journey) coined by Joseph Campbell. Previously, such an approach was practiced only in the study of narrative prose. This paper focuses on practical evaluation of monomyth as a prism with regard to Confucian chronicles. Critical analysis of the text showed us to conclude that the concept of monomyth is quite suitable — with some reservations — for describing the historical narrative of the biographical section of the Confucian chronicle Samguk sagi (Historical Record of the Three Kingdoms). The research revealed life paths of the chosen hero, who embodies the ideal of a loyal subject, and his antagonist generally follow the three-part model proposed by Campbell (departure — initiation — return). This allows us to conclude that a powerful autochthonous Korean cultural stratum contributed to the formation of a specific syncretic worldview in Korea during the Three States and United Silla period (traditional dates: 1st century B.C. — 10th century A.D.), which integrated Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism into a single system and was reflected in the official chronicle compiled in the 12th century. The Confucian historiographer's representation of these substrates (given a certain ability of these teachings to assimilate each other's concepts) was cemented by myth, which, together with the Confucian canon, set the principles of text organization, plot models, and ways of presenting historical events. The susceptibility of Korean Confucianism at this historical stage to mythology allowed mythological cosmology to integrate quite easily into the Confucian world-building narrative, and to deal with subjects that were previously considered taboo for Confucian ethics in classical Orientalism, such as the manifestations of the Oedipus complex. The interpretation of history as a moral and ethical drama brings official Confucian historiography closer to political myth in its modern interpretation and allows us to evaluate the historical text in a new way.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Russian Lipovans of Romania are a community of Russian Old Believers living on the territory of Romania mainly in the regions of Dobruja and Tulcea. Lipovans have cultural peculiarities, specific customs, and practices, one of which is Christmas glorification, consisting of singing fragments of the Christmas Church Service of the Old Believers. A similar custom is also observed among the Russian Old Believers of Moldova and Ukraine. Currently, members of the Russian Lipovans community of Romania have been recording the praises taking place in homes or public places on video and posting them on social networks and on various Internet platforms. The relevance of the topic is related to the need to study the impact of new technologies on the maintenance and distribution of traditional culture, which is especially important for small communities. The purpose of the article is to highlight and analyze the characteristic features of the representation of Christmas greetings of the Lipovans of Romania on the Internet. Accordingly, the following tasks have been identified: 1) consider the influence of historical circumstances on the formation of traditional culture of Christmas celebrations by the Old Believers of Romania; 2) collect and describe examples of the representation of Christmas praises of the Russian Lipovans of Romania on the Internet and analyze the specifics and the socio-cultural context of their existence; 3) highlight the key features of this practice compared to similar customs of the Old Believers of Moldova and Ukraine. The research methodology was compiled by a comprehensive cultural approach based on the use of historical-genetic, hermeneutic, and comparative-analytical methods, as well as cyberethnography approaches. The study has found that the Russian Lipovans of Romania living in a different ethnic and confessional environment actively represent on their pages in social networks and private channels on YouTube the tradition of Christmas praises that exists in their community, which partly contributes to its reproduction and reconstruction. The results have enabled the author to conclude that the praises of the Lipovans of Romania, colindă, should not be confused with Christmas carols as they closely follow the canon and represent both a well-preserved variation of home worship and a specific practice of communication.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collection opens with an article by Vidas Sulinas, an expert on classical Spanish theatre. The author examines the time period from the last third of the 16th century to the beginning of the 18th century, tracing the change of three artistic styles — Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque — using the example of the work of three classics of Spanish drama. To introduce readers to these works, the author gives brief reviews of the plots: at the heart of them is love, its mysteries, virtues and trials. The article raises a number of eternal problems of existence, including good and evil, reality and imagination and, finally, the eternally relevant motif of the artist and power. The second article written by Irina Kryazheva is devoted to the study of court musicians of Medieval Spain. The task is by no means simple, given the small number of sources. Their identification and subsequent scrupulous study are one of the undoubted advantages of the text. In the next article on percussion instruments of the Renaissance Spain, Maria Moiseeva recreates the widest palette of musical instruments of the era with their description and classification. Particular attention is paid to fruitful interaction between the European and Arab worlds. Denis Fedosov creates a voluminous canvas of church life in Catholic Spain through describing retablo as the center of artistic composition of a Spanish temple. These and other articles written by specialists make allowance for amateurs and welcome new readers. Overall, the collection turned out to be successful. First of all, due to the selection of authors.

In connection with the development of Russian-Chinese relations, the topic of rethinking Oriental studies in line with the framework of the studies of philosophical and cultural problems is especially relevant today. The novelty of the research consists in updating the data already available in scientific publications on the culturalperception of Russia and Russians by the Chinese. This article examines the cultural-perception of Russia and Russians in China based on the results of polls conducted by the authors in 2021–2022. The poll contained open-ended questions concerning associations with Russia, symbols of the country, names of famous Russians, the Russian character, and Russian cities. The data obtained helped to identify and confirm certain historical patterns and stereotypes concerning the perception of the Russian character. The analysis of the poll results showed that Chinese people’s perceptions of Russia depend largely on their personal experience with Russians. The Chinese who have not been to Russia have an image of our country closely associated with that of the Soviet Union; they have a vague idea of contemporary life in Russia but are quite familiar with the works of Russian classics writers and composers. The Chinese permanent residents of the Russian Federation are more aware of both the classical and contemporary culture of the Russians. In addition, the personality of Russian President Vladimir Putin plays an important role in shaping the current perception of Russia in China.

Military culture herein is defined as a set of socio-cultural values, social practices and works of art related to the implementation of the function of protecting the motherland and the existence of a person in the specific conditions of a military conflict. The purpose of the study is to trace the dynamics of the disclosure of the problems of military culture in the works of Russian military literature and military cinema in the 21st century. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were achieved: 1) to clarify the definition of military culture; 2) to substantiate the identification of artistic military culture as part of a broader definition; 3) to highlight the characteristic features of modern military literature and to show the problems associated with its genre-thematic originality and role in culture; 4) to determine the leading trends in the development of modern military cinema in Russia; 5) to identify common and different approaches to depicting military culture by means of literature and cinema. The novelty of the study lies in the approach to the consideration of military culture as a broad and multifaceted phenomenon, not limited to the intra-army environment and including artistic military culture. As a result, it is concluded and substantiated that there is a relatively more significant penetration into military cinema not only of genre and thematic techniques, but also of the values and meanings of mass culture. Military literature, as this study shows, is less influenced by them today, which allows us to speak not so much about the conservatism of this art form, but rather its greater resistance to the simplification trends. Perhaps, this is due to greater reliance on the original author's vision — as opposed to the set standards of filmmaking.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to identify the possibilities and limitations of demonstrating elements of world-system analysis in the space of the game universe of global historical strategies. The goals are: 1) to analyze key aspects of virtualized game simulation in the form of global strategy; 2) to systematize characteristic features of the combination of scientific and subjective factors in game simulation; 3) to identify the influence of the cultural factor on creating virtual worlds in games; 4) to conduct case-studies considering games through the prism of the theoretical framework of game simulation. The study employs the historical-genetic method and discourse analysis. Axiological and anthropological approaches are used to find sociocultural specificities of game simulations by investigating their value orientations and practices in the game and in the community of gamers. The study specifies features of variable modelling on the example of game universes of Civilization, Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis etc. The results of the study include the analysis of 1) history reconstruction in global game strategies from the point of view of philosophy of culture; 2) game mechanics reflecting their creators’ and gamers’ personal features; 3) creating cultural landscape in global simulation games. The author suggests that modern global strategies is not only a kind of virtual entertainment and cybertext, but also a means of reliving the historical narrative when mass consciousness can explore alternative history. This approach makes way for spreading historical knowledge via historical simulation.","PeriodicalId":33644,"journal":{"name":"Kontsept filosofiia religiia kul''tura","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135294093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
