The subject of the study is design as a cultural phenomenon. The author suggests that design from a philosophical point of view contains meanings that are not described by the traditional number of aesthetic categories. The author demarcates the categories \"design\" with the categories \"art\" and \"aesthetic\", consistently identifying differences in the following parameters: 1. functional difference; 2. difference of origin; 3. semiotic difference. Having distinguished the design category from the art category, the author reveals the specific semiurgical essence of the design category. Semiurgic design is associated with projective activity, that is, the activity of creating new signs. Design is associated with the design of secondary reality and the gradual doubling of the world. The main conclusion of the study is an attempt to derive the formula of the philosophical content of the category \"design\". The philosophical category \"design\" is associated with the aesthetic organization of secondary reality and is characterized by projectivity (orientation to innovation), transitivity (orientation to real application), functionality (orientation to optimal application), immanence (lack of connections with the transcendent) and semiurgicity – the function of creating new signs. The semiurgic nature of design lies in the constant reproduction of itself, since the discourse of design \"new\" becomes synonymous with design and loses the meaning of the dialectical negation of \"old\". The design is associated with the symbolic doubling of the world. Moreover, this doubling does not increase the meaning and value of being, but, on the contrary, enhances the illusory nature of being, since design, unlike art, is not associated with pointing to a transcendent reality.","PeriodicalId":476521,"journal":{"name":"Kulʹtura i iskusstvo","volume":"27 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136102747","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}

Pronaszko cooperated intensively with professional architects, which had a considerable effect upon his conception of stage space. The article reviews projects of the artist, which proved to be a realization of his conception of stage space referred to the „theatre of the future”: the stage design for the „Golem” play (1928), set up on the circus arena and the theatrical architectural projects of Simultaneous theatre (1928-1929) and the Mobile theatre (1934). Each of those three was created in cooperation with an architect (with Szymon Syrkus in the first two cases and with Stefan Bryła in the third one). In Polish theatre between two World Wars, scenography came out as a special domain of an avant-garde activism manifesting an uprise of the „theatre of the future”, which offered prospects of some extraordinary perceptional experience. The reviewed projects presuppose overrunning the boundaries of conventional theatre and using innovative engineering solutions in stage organization, lightning and sound engineering. They became an ambitious attempt to change drastically the mode of theatrical event at the level of the space architectonics and extend thereby theatre’s capabilities in dealing with dynamics of spectacle. The artist created new conditions for affecting the spectator’s comprehension of the stage performance.","PeriodicalId":476521,"journal":{"name":"Kulʹtura i iskusstvo","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134977689","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 purpose of the article was to identify a unique scenario for the development of art education in the Chinese metropolis, in the formation of which the creative traditions of not only the Celestial Empire, but also European countries, including Russia, were included. The article pays special attention to art societies, whose activities in the first quarter of the XX century were particularly active and focused both on the development of art education and the organizing of creative expositions. For the objectivity of the results obtained, unique documents were used in the study, including archival sources and retrospective literature, which determines the scientific novelty of the work. Shanghai in the first quarter of the XX century became a \"pioneer\" in the formation of the modern system of art education in the country.

The universality of this concept lies in its applicability to various game contexts, however, this universality does not entail stereotypes, but implies the need to take into account three components when designing this concept in a game scenario: space, consciousness and simulacra. Space is where the game action takes place, consciousness is the game experience, the perception of the game process, simulacra - everything that fills the game world (objects, players, etc.), depending on the context, determines the interpretation of game events. Scientific novelty lies in the creation of a new narrative-psychological concept, which is based on the ideas of related disciplines and can be used for a wide range of tasks when creating a narrative video game design. The specificity of the concept of the White Room lies in the compositionally correct design of the space and the regulation of the game experience, its imposition on incoherent game scenes, the choice of the right simulacra, which are determined by the game context. The white room can act as the starting setting of the world, the setting, the creation of the world, the place of \"psychological relief\", self-digging, memories of the past to understand yourself today, the climactic scene, the whole game can also take place in it.","PeriodicalId":476521,"journal":{"name":"Kulʹtura i iskusstvo","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136168166","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}

In the beginning, the origin of the synchrony–diachrony dichotomy introduced into linguistics by Ferdinand de Saussure is revealed. These terms and concepts from linguistics turned out to be so generative in methodological terms that they were adapted into other scientific disciplines. Starting with Saussure, the specificity of the relations of the two approaches is most deeply expressed as the relation of the system of the subject – synchrony and its evolution – diachrony. Next, the article discusses collective intelligence (Lotman) as a result of the activity and cooperation of experts of the same specialty. The productivity and relevance of using a synchronic approach for an adequate comparison of musical works, especially in the history and theory of performing arts, is emphasized. The main objective of the article was to test the use of a synchronic approach for the formation of textual information about the formation of the classical style in musical Europe of the XVIII century. The main pathos and function of the synchronic approach is \"comparison\". When the beginnings of events are aligned, it becomes possible to compare them (events) with each other, and the results of the comparison are attributed to the synchronization time. The synchronic approach demonstrates the continuity and monomericity of historical time. In synchrony, we see that juxtaposition and comparison overcome the natural separateness of historical events. The conclusions of the article summarize the main properties of the synchronic and diachronic approaches: synchrony reflects the system structure of the object and phenomenon, and diachrony, their evolution. For more productive event matching, synchronization of several parameters and types is necessary. This type of historical research can be described as a multifactorial synchronic analysis of historical events. Further prospects for the development of synchronic and diachronic approaches lie in their synthesis, when multiple slices of synchrony are sorted by chronology, and diachrony consists of synchronic slices of time.","PeriodicalId":476521,"journal":{"name":"Kulʹtura i iskusstvo","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136198598","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 subject of the study is the modernist design episteme, which began its formation in the paradigm of modernity. The purpose of the study is to show that in the modernist project, the development of design as a cultural phenomenon was not rigidly determined, and could have taken a different path. However, the historical choice was made in favor of American functionalism and European international design. International design creates a subject and information environment that is suitable for any country, regardless of the cultural context. This design meets the goals of globalization. At the same time, the essence of design also allows for such applications as the aestheticization of reality and the preservation of cultural identity. The main conclusion of the study is that the historical development of the design phenomenon could have taken a different path. The current state of design is determined by the vector of globalization, which was set during the transition from to modernism. This vector is the result of a choice in favor of functionalism, a style that meets the ideology of globalization, the transformation of society into a homogeneous consumer environment. It was during the Art Nouveau period that the genesis of design could have taken a different path, since Art Nouveau was originally a project of aestheticization and spiritualization of the subject environment, however, history has developed so that design has chosen a vector of development associated with functionalism. The scientific novelty of the study is connected with this conclusion, since so far the history of design has been interpreted unambiguously, from the standpoint of the advantages of international style and functionalism. While the phenomenon of design is broader, and may include the possibility of preserving cultural identity, which was discussed in the modern era.","PeriodicalId":476521,"journal":{"name":"Kulʹtura i iskusstvo","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135996806","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 subject of research is philosophical reminiscences in the author's sculptural and graphic works of the ceramic artist. The main themes of his artwork are Man, Earth, and Time. The study has a novelty, because its materials are original and are offered for publication for the first time. In domestic and foreign art criticism there was no scientific study of the work of M. Kapustin. The works of M. Kapustin are large-scale, peculiar ceramic (sculptural and graphic) compositions of epic imagery, represent a compressed formula of an idea in a tense volume of form. The logical chain of his creative process as a ceramic artist goes as follows: from the idea towards the artistic image, material, technology, and finally – work.
