The phenomenon of information conflict at the moment is an actual research object of many social and humanitarian disciplines. On the other hand, there is a lack of fundamental theoretical, primarily philosophical and methodological, research on this issue. This is expressed, inter alia, in the absence of philosophical and methodological grounds for isolating an information conflict from the totality of all objectively observed communications, i.e. demarcation of the phenomenon. The problem of finding criteria for an information conflict is of key importance in the formation of the methodological foundations and categorical apparatus for studying this phenomenon. In this regard, the need to develop theoretical foundations for the demarcation of information conflict is an urgent research task. The object of this work is the phenomenon of information conflict as part of the communicative process. The subject of the research is the problem of demarcation of information conflicts from all aggregate communications. The purpose of the study is to describe and substantiate the existing object-oriented methodologies that allow for the demarcation procedure. The following tasks are adequately formulated for the purpose of the study: 1) describe the problem of demarcation; 2) identify the communicative grounds of the information conflict; 3) analyze and highlight the main approaches to the problem of demarcation of information conflict. The novelty of the work lies in the systematic description and structuring of methodological approaches to the problem of demarcation of information conflicts, as well as analysis of the boundaries of methodologies and approaches. In the course of the work, it was determined and proved that, relying solely on the theory of communication, it is impossible to adequately carry out the demarcation procedure; it is necessary to use additional, non-communicative demarcation criteria, which is due to the variety of demarcation approaches in various studies. In conclusion, conclusions are formulated about the limitations of object-oriented approaches for solving the problem of demarcation of information conflicts.

This paper explores the defining characteristics of martial arts as bodily practices that transform the subjectivity of fighters and affect their perception of self and performance in social contexts, within the field of anthropology. Specifically, the study examines 'xondaro,' a performative practice of the Guarani that involves a combination of dance and combat. By analyzing the discourse in the documentary 'Xondaro Mbaraete,' utilizing Goffman’s theory of interaction and Csordas’ paradigm of embodiment, the paper explores how xondaro is used to transform the fighter’s subjectivity and re-signify the Other. The paper also draws upon previous research on the xondaro practice, as well as the field experiences in the Guarani Tekoa Pyau village located in São Paulo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
