In 1965–1967, kinetic art broke into the Leningrad art scene with bright projects of a Moscow artist collective called “Dvizhenie” (“the Movement”). Soon, several young Leningrad artists became active members of the collective. At the beginning of the 1970s, the impulse given by the “Dvizhenie” led to the formation of an independent Leningrad art collective which worked on color music kinetic art performances but broke up short afterwards. Is it possible to talk about some kind of a separate Leningrad branch of kineticism? Leningrad artists whose works in the 1960s, the 1970s and later periods were related to the kinetic art perspective, and even explicitly aligned with it, did not identify themselves with kineticism. Even in the 2010s, no one talked about kineticism in connection with some exhibitions in Saint Petersburg which presented completely kinetic works of art. Today, in the wake of the growing interest in this movement in Russia in the context of recent exhibitions, the concept of kineticism has expanded to include new names. The article considers activities of Leningrad artists associated with this art movement in the field of theatrical kinetic performances (the “Dynamic” collective), three-dimensional counter-relief objects (L. Borisov), color light music and paintings visualizing music (V. Afanasyev), and architectural design / color light music projects (A. Lanin). The study also traces parallels between proto-kinetic works of Leningrad avant-garde of the 1910s–1920s, and works of Leningrad kinetic artists of the 1960s–1970s.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135107060","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 author revealed connections of Jerry Uelsmann works with American modernist photography and historical surrealist photography. The researcher analyzed the structure of Jerry Uelsmann’s hybrid images in the context of the ideas of analytical psychology, and also outlined the themes and concepts proposed in the works of the photographer that would be relevant in contemporary digital photography. The study showed that Jerry Uelsmann art continued the traditions of American modernist photography and started a new, post-modernist period in the development of photographic art in the United States characterized by the use of photography as a tool of self-knowledge and philosophical expression. Jerry Uelsmann applied such important for the historical Surrealist photography conceptions as convulsive beauty, the principle of “encounter of images”, surreality. He used experimental techniques (negative print, solarization, photomontage) and aimed to demonstrate the limitless creative possibilities of photography as well as the Surrealists. Uelsmann appealed to archetypal images which provided his works by intellectual simplicity and external showiness that contributed to the popularity of his photomontages and their strong influence on the development of contemporary manipulative photography. Uelsmann set a kind of “standard” for photo-Surrealism of the late 20th–21st centuries: these are technically perfect photomontages that require a high level of professional skills and time expenditure. Many of Jerry Uelsmann’s motives and ideas found parallels in contemporary digital photography. Among their common features it’s possible to single out concentration on the inner world of the person, interest in archetypes and symbols, the desire to poeticize nature, and the introduction of elements of mass culture into hybrid images.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82740728","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 problem of distinguishing grammatical units of a sentence that share one syntactic function is considered. Less than a century ago China did not have any knowledge of theoretical linguistics of its own, so it had to borrow the concept from foreign science. Thus, the notion of a complement that supplements the semantics of a verb or an adjective in a predicate was introduced by Li Jinxi who had borrowed it from English grammars and applied to Chinese syntax. However, soon enough it had become a subject of revision. The article reflects how the concept of buyu has become a mixture of related linguistic phenomena by its gradual meaning extension. Besides, the paper analyses topmost structural and semantic features of the units that perform the role of buyu in a sentence, as well as summarises the criteria for distinguishing it from other parts of a sentence, i. e. an object and adverbial modifier. It is claimed that a single and consistent approach should be employed to the relevant elements with the same syntactic function and that the existing descriptions of Chinese grammar should be reexamined providing the concept of buyu. Finally, the author stresses the necessity to use the term dopolnitel’niy element (‘an additional element’) for terminology consistency in Russian sinological literature.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135556387","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}

There is no multilateral process in the region aimed at the regional stability maintenance, as well as effective mechanisms for controlling conflict and crisis zones. The authors put forward the goal of identifying new trends and prospects for ensuring security in the region. They analyze the accumulated experience, in particular, such security initiatives as the Damascus Declaration, “Peninsula Shield”, “Interpol of the Gulf ”, “Arab NATO”. The weaknesses and strengths of these projects are noted, and significant processes and events in the implementation of these initiatives are highlighted. Particular emphasis is placed on the Gulf sub-region. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by necessity to examine and understand new processes and phenomena at the level of interstate interaction in the region and in the field of security as a whole. The provisions of the concept of regional security complexes by B. Buzan and O. Weaver turned out to be useful for the discourse on security threats and their dynamics in the region. They conclude that the establishment of an inclusive security system in the Middle East appears to be a long-term and multi-layered process. It is necessary to consider the declared problem in a wide context, affecting not only military security issues, but also political, social, economic stability, taking into account the totality of the national interests of all states of the region and the participation of extra-regional actors in this process as well.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135556389","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}

Despite the fact that this episode from the Anushteginid dynasty is relatively well known to scholars, there has not yet been a single special study of how well this internecine war or the “Khorezmian sedition” was reflected in the synchronous Muslim texts of the 12th century, as well as in the writings of the early 13th century. Most of those who in their works tried to describe the struggle between these brothers for the Khorezm throne were based mainly on Muslim historical writings of the Mongol era. Here we see as our goal to consider the description of the “Khorezm sedition” in the monuments of the pre-Mongol period and compare the amount of information in them about this with the texts of a later time — this will allow not only to understand how detailed the event is described by the early authors in comparison with the later ones, but to identify possible continuity between them. Our research will also allow us to identify gaps in the description of the struggle between Sultan-Shah Mahmud and ‘Ala’ ad-Din Tekish in early texts, emphasize the facts of the “Khorezm sedition” relatively known to the authors of this period and thereby show what kind of picture of events is being built if we focus only on the writings of the pre-Mongol time. As a result, we hope to trace a certain evolution of the description of the war for the Khorezm throne in the Muslim writings of the 12th–13th centuries.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135556393","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 activities of this association marked the birth of the Italian version of pop art. Despite the fact that the American and Italian pop movements existed in parallel and had similar external features, they were significantly different. These differences can be traced in the creativity of the members of the association. Cesare Tacchi was a member of this union. The path of this master represents an individual trajectory of artistic and conceptual development. One of the creative stages of Cesare Tacchi falls into the mid-sixties of the twentieth century. Experimental and innovative paintings of this time were created using industrially produced fabrics. Large-scale textile collages, in addition to being painted with enamel, pastels and felt-tip pens, also acquired a relief texture due to the furniture filler. Cesare Tacchi used a pick with nails or metal staples in accordance with the logic of the created image. That is why the artist ironically called himself “upholstery”, and called his textile collages “upholstery”. In them, we find images of artist’s friends, his own self-portraits or images made on the basis of photographs. The pattern, texture of the fabric and the softness of the emerging relief, together with the conceptual nature of the creative technique, made a great impression on the viewer and gave rise to new associations. Textiles simultaneously demonstrated the consumer culture of that time, turned from a subordinate material into a means of artistic expression, became an object of art and contributed to the emergence of a stream of new associative links, far from the consumer idea.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91246529","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}

Gogol on the prose of the Armenian writer R. G. Patkanyan. The subject of the research are Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls”, Patkanian’s novel “Ambitious”, the play “Pampulius” and the story “Armenian Chichikov”. One of the key issues is the study of Armenian transformations of the Chichikov type, its similarities and differences in comparison with the Russian prototype. Historical-comparative, comparative, structural-morphological methods are used as the methodological basis of the study: the works were considered according to their content and structure. The article examines the connections and relationships between Russian and Armenian literature at a new level, as well as the influence of Russian literature in general: it studies Gogol’s literary school outside Russia, which had various ideological, philosophical and artistic influence on the works of Armenian writers and on Patkanyan in particular. One of the main problems of the article is the question of choosing and characterizing a scoundrel hero, since Patkanyan, under the influence of Gogol, also puts a person striving for wealth at the center of his works and builds his plot around him. The morphological commonalities of the works are also considered: entry into the city, establishing connections with influential people, successes, disclosure of negative plans, escape. As a separate issue, the problem of marriage for money is also investigated: the characters guided by a simple thirst for power are looking for a bride with a rich dowry. By following Gogol’ example, Patkanian also portrays the negative aspects of Armenia and Armenian reality and criticizes them trying to offer possible solutions to these problems. Being a student of the Gogol school, Patkanyan follows the example of the latter and in various issues and techniques of artistic generalization follows the same literary path, but he is not copying it: in his works, Patkanyan offers independent and unique solutions.","PeriodicalId":40378,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Sankt-Peterburgskogo Universiteta-Iskusstvovedenie","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135556391","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}

It also discusses the trajectories of its further development in Russia. The author believes that Oriental Studies should centre upon the degree to which Asian and African societies embraced Westernisation, mechanisms of reception of Western culture by their traditional non-Western structures and consequences of this reception. In accordance with this interpretation, Chinese studies as well as other fields that focus on major non-Western civilisations (Indology, Middle Eastern and African studies) fall into a broader academic category of Oriental studies instead of turning into mere subfields of Area Studies. The article maintains that it is essential to move away from Western-centrism, however, this should not be substituted with the opposing extremes: the ideas of supremacy of the East over the West or the theory of the original sin of the West and its demands to “cancel” the field of Oriental studies as “colonialist” or “racist”.
