The article argues that one of the main characteristics of modernity is the underlying paradox that could be labeled as an attitude of securitization through catastrophe. The author shows how the aspiration to overcome catastrophes and crises forms the attitude to their utilization, i.e. to create apparatuses or devices that guarantee safety and su...
В фокусе статьи находятся две модели политико-государственных образований — либерально-демократическая и советско-китайская. Использование концепции решения Никласа Лумана при анализе их системных оснований открывает новую перспекти- ву как на эти модели, так и на современный политический процесс. Был предложен краткий обзор дискуссии по теме приня...
The article aims to propose an alternative approach to the analysis of the social effects of digitalization. It was, by and large, intended to solve two problems; first, to assess the epistemological potential and limitations of existing theories and approaches, and second, it was to do what Luhmann, following Spencer Brown, called re-entry, to dis...
Статья посвящена распространенному, но чрезвычайно расплывчатому концепту умного города (smart city).
Он представляет собой визионерскую проекцию, вокруг которой создается эклектичный ансамбль зачастую противоречивых теоретических установок и доктрин, так или иначе связывающих городское развитие с развитием технологий, в особенности цифровых. Утвер...
Неоднородность кибернетического движения, условность его границ, глубокое проникновение в научные, культурные, политические и религиозные институты разных национальных сообществ — все это открывает широкие возможности разных подходов к описанию кибернетического движения. Кибернетика в одинаковой степени владела умами непримиримых противников — атеи...
В центре внимания статьи — самобытные представления большевиков, а затем и со- ветской номенклатуры о культуре. Хронологически наше исследование охватывает первые годы становления советских государственных учреждений (так называемые ленинский, затем сталинский периоды руководства) и завершается началом периода, который часто называют оттепелью. Что...
Cultural policy has not generally been viewed as central to the activities and instruments of the modern Russian state. As such, Moscow’s sudden interest, several years ago, in culture was perceived ambivalently by many commentators. In April 2013, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on implementing Years of Culture in Russia, where 2014 was to be a Yea...
With the rise of the concept of “culture”, numerous attempts were made to integrate it into state policy, but failed. “Culture” then required a clear and unambiguous definition. A new effort, known as the “debate about cultural and creative industries”, was undertaken in a new historical context at the beginning of this century. This article tries...
The main thesis of the article is that revolution and corruption are structurally and genetically related to the process of state building (étatisation). Basing itself on Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu's ideas on the state, the article demonstrates that revolution and anti-corruption agitation are derived from a "normative pressure," resulting...
This article focuses on hip-hop as a movement of popular culture. The article has two main aims. First, observation and discourse analysis, which will identify the principal tropes and commonalities through which researchers and critics of popular culture construct the unity of their analytical narration and subjects of research. It is argued that...
The article draws attention to the exceptional importance of the concept of culture in the development of early Soviet models of governance. It proposes an analysis of party cadres’ conceptualization of culture that provided the basis for the creation of the state monopoly on cultural production of the young Soviet regime in the early 1920s. Partic...
Dmitrii Medvedev delivered his third presidential address to the Russian parliament in an atmosphere marked by widening fissures in the country's power structure and increasing calls for political reform. His public statements in recent months had led many to believe that he was prepared to stand again for the presidency, this time on a reformist p...
