Modern philosophical anthropology needs a revision of research problems. This is related to changes in social reality, as well as those trends that have formed in postmodern philosophy. The purpose and objectives of the article are to identify the postmodern influence on the development of certain trends in philosophical anthropology and to justify the need to search for new tools and methods for understanding the human. After all, the new paradigm is not just a hypothetical phenomenon, but rather a statement of a gradually evolving process that acquires new characteristics. Thus, since the formation of the philosophical concept of Postmodernism, we have seen that various directions of philosophy, including philosophical anthropology, are moving away from expansive and universalized systems, and turning to individual questions, problems, etc. Also, during the last decades, the emphasis in the understanding of the human itself, its possibilities and prospects has shifted somewhat. Therefore, in the article we will address some key moments of Postmodernism, which were turning points for philosophical and anthropological thought. Questioning of a person's integral self, which leads to the formation of a fragmented, multiple and constantly changing identity; the rhizomatic dispersion of man with his nomadic wanderings, which leads to the idea of the global as unifying and disidentifying and distancing at the same time; denial of the idea of universal truth, the objectivity of its constants, and a departure towards a series of constantly changing variabilities, various points of view and experiences, etc.Conclusion. Postmodernists were the first to challenge the traditional notions of the integrity, centeredness, rationality, and autonomy of the subject. In accordance with the contextual historical conditionality, they recognized fragmentation and multiplicity as the only possible ways of perceiving and understanding the deconstructed subject. And although these methods are condemned by critics as leading to relativism, nihilism, and fragmentation of human experience itself. Nevertheless, we should agree that this offers the possibility of liberation from dogma and openness to new perspectives in understanding the human in a complex, constantly changing world. Moreover, in the light of social, technological, or information trends, old approaches may prove to be extremely ineffective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose of the article: to determine the distinctive features of the subject of research, methodology and method of landscape studies in the state of transition from late Modern to early Postmodern (late 20th – early 21st century). Research methodology: historical and cultural analysis with the involvement of hermeneutics, philosophical comparative studies. Results. The research objects specific to postmodern landscape science are characterized: ambivalent, socially devastated, camp landscapes, anti-landscapes, landscapeoids. It is pointed out the complexity nature of the research subject of modern and future landscape science, in particular, such research phenomena as the landscape nature of subjectivity; the immanence of contradiction, paradox and absurdity in a complexity geosystem; and also on virtual landscape reality as a product of artificial intelligence. New philosophical and methodological approaches – multiculturalism and multihistoricism – are proposed. Scientific novelty: for the first time in the Ukrainian-language scientific geographical and philosophical literature, an attempt has been made to analyze the current and potential features of landscape science in the Postmodern era. Today, landscape science is in a state of transition to a new historical stage – the Postmodern era. This transition is not a “scientific revolution” in the sense of T. Kuhn, but is coupled with more profound changes that touch the very foundations of rational world perception, scientific world explanation and goal setting in the field of scientific activity – changes that have an existential and metaphysical nature, changes that associated with the transformations of the historical process on a global scale. Areas of study of landscape objects and phenomena, which were methodologically, epistemologically, and existentially inaccessible to the scientific thought of the New Age, the Modern Era, and landscape studies of the 20th century are becoming very popular. were mostly ignored. Actual and future transformations in the methodology of landscape science are also related to the introduction of paradox, contradiction, and absurdity into the scientific discourse. One of the cornerstone and already clearly visible empirical challenges to modern landscape science is the formation of virtual landscape reality. Postmodern landscape science is characterized by a movement towards the assimilation of metaphysical and discursive systems of non-European cultures of mankind (for example, the category of “Delusions” of the indigenous Australian aboriginal civilization). It should also get rid of the new European supremacy in relation to the methods of scientific and quasi-scientific world explanation by European discourses from antiquity to the 16th century. Examples here can be turning to Pythagorean numerology (O.K. Cherkashin) or the so-called eniogeography (G.I. Shvebs) when studying the landscape. As a result, profound future shifts in the landscape scientific discourse will not be dialectical, but fundamental metaphysical in nature. Perhaps this will force a person to radically reconsider his place and his own role in the landscape envelope and in history. Practical significance. A number of unusual, to some extent unusual, methodological approaches to the further development of landscape science in the 21st century have been proposed, with the fact that the very concept of development must be fundamentally rethought in all respects, primarily existential and ecological.

The decentralization and post-war recovery processes raise the issue of sustainable territorial development to a qualitatively new level, based on innovation and the search for appropriate resources. The study aims to analyse the features of building institutional and innovative projects within the new concept of territorial development resources based on the archetypal approach and develop practical recommendations for their implementation on the example of sub-ethnic groups of the Sumy region. The study based on world experience substantiates that the process of innovative development of territories should not focus solely on economic issues and technological change but should consider socio-cultural aspects that can be viewed as an essential component of the potential. Considering territorial archetypes when initiating changes and resolving issues of territorial development will allow the development of effective measures through the rational use of resource potential. It is determined that the question of considering socio-cultural historical and modern approaches to to studying settlements, cities, and landscapes (regional and local aspects), analysis of their formation, change and development in developing strategies. The importance of the regional component is illustrated by the experience of the EU, where local authorities are gaining more and more ground in finding the most practical and concrete opportunities for territories. It is determined that public administration undergoes significant changes under the influence of postmodernism, a new philosophy of building organizational structures, government, and management. It considers the uncertainty and ambiguity of new types of social systems and is seen as open to the future. The authors consider the application of postmodern theories to be fruitful in studying the impact of the socio-cultural environment on socio-economic processes and adaptation of innovations. This factor’s impact on economic entities’ behaviour has traditionally been regarded as exogenous. Given the use of postmodern methodology must be studied when trying to return people and actual processes to a place occupied by abstract variables and modelled dependencies. The influence of postmodernism at the territorial level is determined based on the evolution of innovation communities. This approach is consistent with the current EU regional policy, which aims to enhance regions’ development by improving competitiveness efficiency. It is proposed to consider the possibility of using institutional and innovative projects for sustainable development of territories, considering the archetypal resource component and the concept of innovation communities. Institutional and innovative projects are considered so-called «security-related products» of territorial development, which may include innovative projects and programs that involve a wide range of resources, including socio-cultural, focused on achieving sustainable development goals. It is substantiated that the use of tools for institutional and innovative projects should be considered in the context of the smart specialization of regions, making it possible to consider the socio-cultural component practically. Examples of the use of archetypes for the construction of innovation and institutional projects in the instance of two sub-ethnic groups of the Sumy region are considered. The main archetypes of goryuns and sevryuks are generalized, and paper provides the related institutional and innovation projects they will promote.

The subject of the article is the erotic genre in work of the American female artists Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke, Judy Chicago. The analysis of their visual imagery from feminist discource perspective is carried out. Methodological point of view represented in the article permits to reveal generalizing constants of analysis of contemporary visual erotica through the prism of main author concepts: “visual libertinage”, “deconstruction of body”, “emotive corporality”. The principle of postmodernist visual libertinage as a methodological technique to formulate a “female” look at corporality in their works is generalized. The influences of their artistic imagery on forming of the bases of three waves of the American feminist movement are considered: accordingly, A. Neel influences the principles of woman body visualization of the first wave, Hanna Wilke — the second, and Judy Chicago — the third one. The principles of self-presentation of the body through actionism and self-expression through nudity characteristic of their work are revealed. We prove that by these methods of work with corporality the artists violated the convention of social norm and puritan morality in relation to naked body, forming aesthetic of visual embodiment of the female body. The problem of comparison of erotic genre in contemporary American art with corresponding works of the Ukrainian artists is also claimed. The feminist principles to present body by the female artists became basic for forming the “Ukrainian body”: this experience had some followers in the 90’s, but as a meaningful and consistent program begins to be implemented in the Ukrainian art context in 2000–2010.

The article is devoted to the definition of stylistic guidelines of cultural creation as a dominant of the humanitarian integrity of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian Baroque is defined as the creative epicentre of cultural creativity of the twentieth century. Ukrainian culture has always faced the choice of solving the cultural situation and way of life, which appeals to the individual, who in turn is the bearer of responsibility, the bearer of humanitarian security, the opportunity to be and not to be, to carry and not to carry the world. Ukrainian history has shown all these possibilities. Worldview matrices, possibilities of typological comprehension of cultural creativity as an ecosystem, due to which the integrity of man as the unity of man and nature, man and culture, man and absolute, tradition and creativity are formed, are analyzed.

Philosophy for Hart, is a continuation of theology in another way, it is a self-denial of theology, which is carried out by the European tradition to find itself. All philosophy and all its problems are a search for solutions to theological problems. For Hart, as for Balthazar, theology is thinking about being and its properties. The task of the thinker is to create a theological language, an alternative to the rhetoric of postmodernism. Theology is a language that is both a theory and a discourse. Hart’s theological reflections combine the hermeneutics of texts with metaphysical reflections on meanings that make sense of a religious narrative. Hart tries to overcome metaphysics in theology, wants to think after metaphysics, to create theology after "after the death of God".

Modern individuals face a relatively new for themselves problem of communicating with the art. The desire to get joy from "co - creation", the desire to use it as a way of asserting and self – realization faces the problem of self - determination in the world of total artistic and aesthetic relativism. The viewer falls into the situation of the potential impossibility of perceiving information. "Freedom" of the author turns into "non-freedom" of the subject of perception. The advocacy of the sovereignty of certain creative worlds in the modern cultural space, the awareness of creativity as an individual way of self-realization, that is so acutely today, in itself, can turn the state-of-art in any direction. Modern artistic space can give a person an exciting feeling of freedom, open prospects, but can also become a fact of voluntary deindividualization of a person, to give birth to a sense of loneliness, self-negligence. The liberation pathos of "emancipated" art can turn out to be a direct violation of the sovereignty and freedom of the subjects of "co-creation," or their spiritual consolidation, the "breakthrough" of alienation and loneliness.

Urgency of the research. Global transformations that take place in the geopolitical dimension, in one way or another apply to culture. The need to determine the actual civilizational and cultural dimension of human existence has become extremely acute in order to avoid those risks that now become a threat to all resources of human existence, civilizational, cultural, economic, geopolitical and others. In fact, culture as a grant of human integrity, as an artificially realized reality, superimposed on nature, as it was defined in its time, is also being tested by the resource of its capabilities. So much so that in modern culture a person can remain human, so much so that modern culture is the guarantor of human integrity. Target setting. Stylistic transformations of culture extremely sharply define its humanitarian potential, structuring figurative implications of being as iconology and iconography. Thus, the well-known features of the Ukrainian Baroque – redundancy, brightness, in Ukrainian modernism determine the synthesis of contextual components of the figurative world order of European culture, postmodernism has opened the floodgates of allusionism, an ironic attitude to the recent past. What paradigms of thinking, cultural matrices are the priorities in the twentieth century? Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problem of styling in Ukrainian culture is sufficiently elaborated as a differential poetics, because the end-to-end formative dominants are poorly defined. Thus, the problem of Ukrainian Baroque was studied in the works of G. Logvin, A. Makarov, V. Ovsiychuk. Modern as a style, as a worldview paradigm, as a certain artistic symbiosis was studied in the works of Y. Legen`ky, T. Rozova, V. Chepelyk, etc. Postmodern implications of cultural creation are reflected in the works of T. Rozova, V. Chernetsky, L. Chorna. The research objective. To characterize metaecological (worldview-paradigmatic, existential, aesthetic, art criticism) guidelines of style creation in the Ukrainian culture of the XX century. The statement of basic materials. The article is devoted to the definition of stylistic guidelines of cultural creation as a dominant of the humanitarian integrity of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian Baroque is defined as the creative epicentre of cultural creativity of the twentieth century. Ukrainian culture has always faced the choice of solving the cultural situation and way of life, which appeals to the individual, who in turn is the bearer of responsibility, the bearer of humanitarian security, the opportunity to be and not to be, to carry and not to carry the world.

Worldview matrices, possibilities of typological comprehension of cultural creativity as an ecosystem, due to which the integrity of man as the unity of man and nature, man and culture, man and absolute, tradition and creativity are formed, are analyzed. Conclusions. It is proved that the modern worldview paradigm and the Art Nouveau style in Ukrainian culture become integrative cultural phenomena, combining the intentions of modernism and avant-garde. It is determined that postmodern transformations of culture manifested themselves mainly with the acquisition of Ukraine's independence and once again opened a window to postmodern Europe.

Urgency of the research. David Bentley Hart's theology is a notable phenomenon in modern Orthodox theology. This American theologian has joined the cohort of original Christian thinkers who offer new ways of theological development, set unexpected dimensions for understanding God, tradition, human. He freely and skillfully conducts a dialogue with all known philosophers of the Christian tradition and its main opponents. The novelty and paradoxical clarity of Hart's views makes his ideas of interest for study. Target setting. The study of the theoretical foundations of the Hart’s concept needs the special attention. It is worth to consider in detail the main aspects of the philosophical and theological methodology of D. Hart. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The works of D. Hart have already become the subject of analysis in the works of V. Hrytsyshyn, S. Konacheva, G. Khrystokin, Y. Chorno-morets, and V. Shalar. In the post-soviet space, O. Davydov creatively develops the methodology and ideas of D. Hart. The above works analyze the theological innovation of D. Hart, his development of postmetaphysical Orthodox theology of the postmodern era, demonstrate nonstandard and original approaches and theological statements of this thinker. The research objective. In the proposed study, we should consider Hart’s thinking in the context of postmodern discourse; problems of interaction of philosophy and theology at this theologian; ideological influences and polemical context of his work; features of speculative-narrative hermeneutics of D. Hart’s texts; historical and philosophical specifics of his theology. All this together will give us an opportunity to comprehend the principles of philosophical and theological methodology of D. Hart, which in turn will open the deep foundations and prospects for the development of modern Orthodox theology. The statement of basic materials. Philosophy for Hart, is a continuation of theology in another way, it is a self-denial of theology, which is carried out by the European tradition to find itself. All philosophy and all its problems are a search for solutions to theological problems. For Hart, as for Balthazar, theology is thinking about being and its properties. The task of the thinker is to create a theological language, an alternative to the rhetoric of postmodernism. Theology is a language that is both a theory and a discourse. Hart’s theological reflections combine the hermeneutics of texts with metaphysical reflections on meanings that make sense of a religious narrative. Hart tries to overcome metaphysics in theology, wants to think after metaphysics, to create theology after "after the death of God". Conclusions. The methodology of D. Hart’s post-metaphysical theology is considered in this work. The author came to the conclusion that Hart creatively rethinks the achievements of post-metaphysical philosophy and Christian theology, which are inseparable for him. He creates a theological language alternative to the rhetoric of postmodernism. Hart creates the most open, ecumenical theology, overcoming the metaphysical paradigm of which is carried out through the introduction of the category of beauty. His theoesthetics is based on the principle of analogy, as the main method of knowing God. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is devoted to determining the style of cultural formation as a dominant of the humanitarian integrity of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian Baroque has been identified as the creative epicenter of the 20th century culture. It has been proved that the modern worldview paradigm and modernist style in Ukrainian culture are becoming integrative phenomena of culture, combining the intentions of modernism and the avant-garde. It is determined that postmodern transformations of culture manifested themselves mainly with the independence of Ukraine and opened a window to postmodern Europe once again. Ukrainian culture has always been faced with the choice of solving a cultural situation and an image of being that appeals to the individual, which in turn is the bearer of responsibility, the bearer of humanitarian security, the opportunity to be and not to be, to carry and not to carry the world on his shoulders. Ukrainian history has shown all these possibilities. The cultural matrices, the possibilities of typological understanding of cultural creation as an ecosystem, through which the integrity of man as the unity of man and nature, man and culture, man and absolute, tradition and creativity, are analyzed.

The original views of contemporary American philosophers Richard Rorty and Joseph Margolis were shaped by the influence of the ideas of different thinkers of the past and present. This article attempts to trace the origin and development of the main views and thoughts, their connection with the ideas of previous philosophers, as well as to highlight the features that allow us to speak about a holistic philosophical system of pragmatism.

The aim of the study is to analyze the multiple cultural identity as a dynamic process in the context of the postmodern world. Methodology of the study. The authors used a systematic, cultural-historical, hermeneutic, and integrative approaches. The scientific novelty consists in substantiating the expediency of using the concept of multiple cultural identity in the context of globalization processes, which requires the development of a new paradigm of thinking. Nowadays, human's free choice is becoming the imperative of socio-cultural interaction. It induces the individual to comprehend interpersonal and intergroup interactions from the standpoint of tolerance and makes him/her open to understanding the carriers of the other identities. Conclusions. The constructivist approach to culture, which is dominant in the postmodern world, contributes to the emergence of a new interpretation of cultural identity. It is understood as a dynamic process of uniting individual and group identities, which is regarded as principally incomplete. The results of the study lead to the conclusion that the multiple cultural identity contributes to the ability of a person to change, the ability to cope with the new challenges of the globalized world. This ability to adapt is an essential prerequisite for improving the process of intercultural communication within the framework of the new geopolitical structure of the world.

The article aims to study the main features of the postmodern ideals, to determine their specificity and role in the spiritual life of modern society. The focus is on the need to form a holistic vision of the world. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of the media communication process. It is concluded that the reality of ideals functioning is undergoing the pre-selection in public relations companies, in advertising video communications, in communications of TV shows and other structures of mass culture. There is highlighted that media ontology becomes the universe of local functioning and the ideals-attractors, which are comfortable resting areas, the recreation of comfort in a dangerous environment. That represented a threat not just to the morality, but also to a human life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Specificity studies of human nature in the context of postmodern anthropological impacts on the necessity for use as philosophical and sociocultural approaches. By focusing on the fact that since the status of a person is the basis of modern system of social ideas and values of cultural space, there is a need to constantly update philosophical approaches to consideration of a person, adequate modern socio-cultural reality. The history of civilization is definitely proved, at least for Homo sapiens, the truth about what philosophy is a great teacher, giving invaluable lessons to the thinking of the individual life. It should be emphasized that the formation of new philosophical ideas in the study of a person is determined not only by local problems and contradictions, but also in a wider meaning by scale transformations in the cultural life of society, changes of its intellectual status, upgrading of social interaction models with regard to new civilizations requests. The author turns to the origins, nature and interpretation of the term “postmodern”, gives the classic definition of postmodern proposes results of one’s own thoughts. The author sees the output in developing models of social adaptation as the most constructive and effective means of application is being implicitly provides specificity of modern humans in the changing conditions of the world. Said specificity is that the subject of modern civilization is the history of much of the world’s population as solidarity, integrated and activated in the political, economic, spiritual, cultural and informational interaction subject.

The article is about the determinants of identity in culture. The process of cultural globalization is defined in the context of pre-modern, modern and post-modern transformations of cultural creation. In the pre-modern space of culture, the initiators of modernization were the world’s religions and great empires. In the modern - nation states, in the postmodern - business and media. Cultural globalization is characterized by modalities of extensiveness, intensity and dynamics. The article concludes that in the contemporary space of cultural creation there is a situation of comprehension of transcultural, transnational and transtipological identity, which equates all images of a person and at the same time places them on different “pedestals”. It is emphasized that the mass society as a one-dimensional society, the society of cogs, moderators and mediators is a society of banal information. It reaches all, doesn’t bypass anyone, becomes that negative, nihilistic discourse that keeps pushing people away from their humanity. Human integrity becomes problematic, which is why it is called the “crisis of identity”, the “crisis of civilization [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is determined the relevance of studying the question of the Christian ideal of human living in postmodern conditions. It has been found that Christian theological and philosophical thought of the postmodern era takes into account contemporary transformations in the socio-economic sphere. The complexity of the Christian approach to the ideal of human activity lies in the confessional features of the positioning of Christianity. It is proved that, keeping the doctrinal purity, Christian trends are adapted to the conditions of the postmodern, their Christian ethics adapts to the values of the modern socio-cultural space. The focus of Christian thinkers has shifted from interpreting one’s relationship with God and the role of transcendental values in one’s daily life to revealing the characteristic properties of one’s way of being in society.

The article deals with the issues of media-cultural determinacy of the space of socialization in the context of the formation of the information society and the values of postmodern. Based on the use of systematic and comparative methodology, a combination of approaches to media philosophy and social philosophy, the under-investigated aspect of the problem associated with determining the membership of the media-cultural space of socialization to postmodern phenomena is revealed. The simulative nature of the media cultural space and the risks for the formation of a person in the process of virtual socialization are shown. The priority of media culture among factors of human socialization in the postmodern era is substantiated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article, the problem of understanding the axiological dimensions of modernity in connection with the emergence of post–secularism, bordering on the postmodernist “blurring” of the criteria of due, is conceptualized. The author sees as the main task the systematization of the sources and forms of socio–cultural development of modern society and the directions of the effectiveness of its traditionally religious, secular and post–secular formats. For this, the author refers to the doctrine of the secular / post–secular Charles Taylor and the teaching of the ethics of truths by A. Badiou. On the basis of this, it is concluded that the feature of the post–secular stage, which is characteristic of the present time, is manifested in the fact that it is not only a negation of the previous stages. On the contrary, he removes the categorical juxtaposition of the religious and the secular, combining in synergy the constructive, human–cultural and creative possibilities of each of them, preventing the actualization of their destructive potential.

Purpose. Institutionalism is gaining strength as a dominant point of view on the world. Its philosophical basis is the postulate of the uncertainty of the development, which comes to replace the neoclassical certainty characteristic of industrial society. The postulate of uncertainty is closely connected with the idea of subjectivization and individualization of post-industrial society. All these were very important components of the new paradigm, although they do not exhaust the problem. In the heart of postmodernism is a mass identity as a spiritual substance, while the more recently mass of people to realize themselves as natural and social beings. Person has absolute freedom in the acceptance and rejection of culture and civilization; it is pluralistic in their actions and in their consciousness. It is the subject of history and it should be creative, fluent mastering all the achievements of culture. Methodology. The dialogue system of the Postmodern, which is the basis of human communication with another person, human with society is a model of convergent formation of the world community and world economy. The same model of rationalism and adequate industrial society is a monologue, which is easily builds a bridge to violence, even if it is carried out in the name of the man behind him and the pathos of the exaltation of man as the bearer of unlimited creation possibilities. However, it is very important not just to modify rationalism, and to understand the origins of civilization. Scientific novelty. The postmodern era begins is not easy. Modern defending, using all their reserves: public thirst for justice, the priority of rationality (at least in the economy), monologist public agencies and politicians in contrast to the dialogic postmodern imperative modality in the spiritual existence of man instead the freedom. Finally, the world of the story is set a trap – the anthropological paradigm of the globalization ideology formation. In this paradigm, people see materialistic rational measure of space and society building, i.e. the natural and social being, not a spiritual person. All this was evident in the course of transformation in Ukraine. Its main weakness is obvious. This narrows the field of mass participation in the market or by the adopted symbolism, the field of subjectivity. The population is invited to wait and endure, i.e. plays the role of the object of political and economic manipulation. Even more unacceptable monopolization of subjectivity government, for which everything is regarded as a subject of state regulation. Conclusions. For civilization of cardinal feature is the treatment of the person as the subject of history. The need for the development of civilization to increase the degree of subjectivity in an economy where people can express themselves freely and responsibly through a system of private property relations: economic entity is the subject of property. Policy enhancing the role of human rights and the development of the principle of subjectivity means deepening the democratic foundations of the state structure. In the social sphere the subjectivity is expressed in the individualization of the social existence of man and the personification of public relations and it is implemented through the mechanisms of liberal institutions. It seems that the civilizational unity of the economy, democratic state and liberal society has the value of a scientific paradigm. Whatever the great cultural peaks of the postmodern, the main processes of a new society formed at its foot: in the area of formation of public consciousness and public preferences with the mass participation of the individual in the economy (involving the mass of the individual in social production on the level of financial relations, which allow the maximum extent possible to include in the economy of free choice), in the field of state-building and the formation of social institutions on the principles of Amateur participation.

Богдан Стрильчик. Онирический хронотоп романа Владимира Ешкилева «Император наводнения» как образец постмодерной игры. В статье рассмотрены теоретический и практический аспект построения вымышленных реальностей на онирическом базисе в романе Владимира Ешкилева «Император наводнения». Опираясь на психоаналитические (Юнг), идеологические (Жижек) и собственно литературоведческие (Бахтин) методы анализа подсознательных явлений, эксплицированы термины: «онирическое», «онирический хронотоп», «машина фикций» и сформирован комбинированный подход к рассмотрению онирического массива в тексте. Автор предлагает рассматривать роман «Император наводнения» Владимира Ешкилева как постмодерную игру с барочной поэтикой и дифференцировать непосредственно онирический хронотоп (локус «Опадло» и другие альтернативные миры) от сновиденческого массива, который стилизует текст. В статье определены и дешифрованы главные архетипы и артефакты реальности, построенной на бессознательной фантазии, а также установлена роль романа Владимира Ешкилева в дискурсе постмодернистской прозы. Ключевые слова: хронотоп, онирика, постмодерн, мультивселенная, психоанализ. Strilchyk Bohdan. Oneiric chronopotope of the novel «The Emperor of Flood» by Volodymyr Yeshkiliev as the example of a postmodern game. The article observes theoretical and practical aspects of constructing oneiric-based fiction realities in the novel «Flood emperor» by Volodymyr Yeshkilev. Relying on the contemporary literary studies about postmodern in Ukrainian literature (Kharchuk), oneiric discourse of contemporary prose (Lazarenko, Kosheluk) and Volodymyr Yeshkilev’s creative method (Holnyk) we have offered a hypothesis of the necessity of studying the novel The Emperor of Flood in the context of oneiric analysis. Analyzing subconscious phenomena with psychoanalytic (Jung) and ideological (Zizek) methods and literary analysis we have explicited the terms «oneiric», «oneiric chronotope», and «fiction machine» and formed combinatory approach to oneiric layer of the text. The author suggests considering the novel as a postmodern game and differentiating oneiric chronotope itself («Opadlo» locus and other alternative worlds) from dream layer which stylizes the text. The elements of postmodern stylisation were extracted from the whole oneiric layer of the novel. We have also made the anal- ysis of the author’s cinematographic style of «breaking the fourth wall» which is realized in Yeshkilev’s almost direct quoting of literary (Bakhtin’s statements about time and space in the novel are present in the text of The Emperor of Flood itself as ontological characteristics of the topos), theoretico-literary (Borges’s idea of «4 main cycles» forms the ontology of the novel) and philosophical (Nietzsche’s concept of the eternal return makes the main time-and-space law of the artistic world) ideas. In addition oneiric traits characteristic for the locus Opadlo that make object of direct psychoanalytical and ideological analysis have been defined. The article defines and decrypts main archetypes and artefacts of the reality built on subconscious imagination, and locates Yeshkilev's novel in postmodern prose and fantasy discourse. Key words: chronotope, onirics, postmodern, multiuniverse, psychoanalysis.

Transformation and clashes of consumer practices are determined by both objective (social, economic, cultural) factors and the system of dominant values and norms.

The practices of consumerism have a destructive meaning and undermine such important functions of culture as the preservation of cultural values and security. The spread of gift practices in the twenty-first century is an attempt to change the consumer model, which is manifested in the models of environmental consumption, ethical and sustainable consumption.

The article is intended to determine the essence of the concept of interpassivity and its relationship to interactivity in postmodern interpretive practices. Resorting philosophical and cultural analysis with the use of sociological data, the author traces the development of the phenomenon of interactivity in text interpretations. The signs of interpersonal manifestation were identified, based on the analysis of the theoretical developments of Jean Baudrillard, Slavoj Žižek, Jacques Deridda and Susan Sontag and the practical data collected by Alexander Mikhed.

The article considers the problem of changing the human rights paradigm at the beginning of the 20th century. Due to significant socio–political events, a change in social consciousness took place. The problem of human rights, up to the twentieth century, depending on the social context, could be normative or moral, but the logic of society's change raised the question of the correspondence of formal rules of reality. Freedom of individuality in the postmodern world has been the impetus for the formation of a new range of issues in the field of human rights. The first half of the XX century was characterized by the search for a single list of general rules for all people, the search for the idea of universal human value, but values that would unite all people under one flag were not so much.

Purpose. This paper aims to analyze Eastern spiritual traditions in the context of modern scientific worldview. Methodology. The author has used hermeneutical methodology, along with integrative approach. Theoretical basis and results. Modern perception of the world is undergoing drastic changes: it shifts towards plurality, temporality, and complexity. Increasingly, people feel that their familiar world of order and stability gives way to chaotic, unpredictable world, which exists under its own rules. Old scientific theories, ideologies, and values are destroyed. This leads to awareness of imbalance, ambiguity of human existence and, thus, to the new explanation and understanding of reality. Today the universe is perceived through the lens of syncretism: it is impossible to separate human from nature, consciousness from matter, subject from object. Humanity faces such a chaotic, uncertain worldview not for the first time. Duality and attempts to overcome it permeate the entire history: from traditional archaic cultures to modern civilized societies. M. Foucault, J. Derrida, R. Barthes, U. Eco, G. Deleuze, J.-F.Lyotard urged to abandon dogmatism, monologue perception and explanation, interpretation based on binary oppositions. The world, which is necessary to reach, occurs to be Nothing, Nothingness. In this world, people are seeking for reality regardless of any rules, regulations, notions, and concepts. Here artificial constructs of the human mind, such as Material – Ideal, Determinism - Indeterminism, Finiteness - Infinity, Necessity – Randomness, are united. Trying to reconcile continuity of being with discreteness of consciousness, they appeal to Eastern mystical teachings, in particular, to Zen Buddhism. The core concept of this school is also based on the unity of all things and the idea of the singularity of the world. The main goal of Eastern mystical traditions is to achieve the state of absolute unity through meditative techniques that have been mastered over centuries. Meditation acts as a means of overcoming binary oppositions inherent to any given culture. It contributes to the experience of one absolute unity of all existence. Scientific novelty. Modern science reaffirmed one of the basic statements of Eastern mysticism: our concepts that we use to explain the world (such as past, present, future, physical space, personality, etc.) are not fundamental characteristics of reality. They are products of thinking, that is, they are the map rather than the territory. Conclusion. In contrast to Western paradigm, the main characteristic of Eastern philosophy and science is the non-mathematical, non-technical approach to an understanding of the universe. Eastern sage has never separated himself from the Nature. He has experienced all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic Oneness, Wholeness, as the various aspects of spiritual unity.

Artistic practices of postmodern art do not only express the principles of the conceptions of the world of modern culture but on the whole they prepare the anthropological "project" of a cosmopolit. But the danger of leveling and even ruining the system of the Ukrainian world outlook traditions exists in the framework of this project. In this article the author investigates the peculiarities of Yu. Andrukhovych' creative work in the context of the Ukrainian postmodern art. Thanks to the ironic form and extreme spontaneity in the choice of dedication and epigraph, postulates themodel in which the contextual neo-mythological features are traced and the features reveal the essential peculiarities of the anthropological project of a "post-totalitarian" person. The author's tragic world-outlook and apocalypticalmood are hidden behind the humor and eclectic glare. It doesn't look like "banquet during the plague", but like the comprehension of the problem of one's existence under the totally new historiccultural conditions. The neo-mythological axis is grounded on the Christian-mythological model-antithesis. The neo-mythological peculiarities analyzed by the author interact with each other in the dialectical unity and make the organic entirety of the artistic work, they are actual for a contemporary person finding himself under the conditions of a transitional period when culture is looking for stable landmarks in its development. It is proved that the neomyth byYu.Andrukhovychwas being built on the synthesis ofChristianity and folk culture, ascertainingthe European characterof the Ukrainian culture and surge for its legitimacy, uniting together the Dianetical and Apologian features. It gave the author the chance to model the modern culture in the coordinates "Bu - bo - bu" (Burlesque -Booth - Buffoonery) and build the anthropological project in the direction of a Cosmopolitan pole.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the transformation and understanding of the concept of "style" in relation to the concept of "composition". The research methodology is based on the synthesis of general scientific methods, as well as methods integrated with art criticism, comparative and cultural-historical approaches. The scientific novelty of the research is in an attempt to trace the transformation and attitude to style in modern postmodern society, in particular, in relation to the concept of architectural composition. Conclusions. Eclectic aesthetic and artistic consciousness actively appeals, builds on and uses the concept of style, gradually bringing it to full aesthetic homogeneity and neutralization. However, the systematic nature of compositional thinking, in particular in design, is just as relevant as in other, more traditional, forms of creative realization of a person, which always requires to find its own stylistic solutions. New styles are not so much born spontaneously, as a kind of result, how many consciously modeled, focusing on historical styles. A stylist does not invent as much as he combines all historical experience, which gives him the opportunity to creatively use it to search for individual expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
