Postmodern Personality: Ontological Self-dependance

Authors: Hanna Chmil, Nadiia Korablova.
Summary.
The article focuses on the triggers of ontological dependence as well as elucidates the construction / deconstruction of being by contemporary humans from the perspective of self-dependence. As a result, the real identity is substituted by simulacra and simulation in their different forms: avatars, images, masks in virtual reality. In view of this, ontological self-dependence cannot have any grounding because the identity serves as its basis.

Intention, Idioms, Myth: Towards the Morphology of Drama

Ihor Yudkin
Summary.
It is drama where the powers of entirety of a text as an ideal object reveal themselves most fully because the events are conceived in the manner of diegesis being mediated with the inner world of subjects, so that the text is built up as “the communication about communication”, that is as a message about the messages of the dramatis personae. Communication as the representation of purposefulness entails the transformation of deeds into messages that bear the intentional conflicts. In its turn, intentionality generalizes modal and aspectual parameters of a text where the particular place is occupied with the infinitive mode as the representation of the places of indefiniteness to be reconsidered and interpreted. The state of indefiniteness (anti-emphasis) of the actual subjective-predicative relations determines the opportunities of the hermeneutic and heuristic interpretation as the source for idioms’ formation. In particular the differences in ascribing predicative or subjective values to the same locution become the source of its idiomatic transition within the dramatis personae’s cues. Drama is a kind of the self-referential text that is closed within the circle of the communication’s participants and is developed as the procedure of solving the riddles that if directed towards the point of the elucidation of circumstances (anagnosis).

On the So-called Institutional and Self-organizing Principles of Cultural Development

Serhii Bezklubenko
Summary.
This article examines the historical origins of the institutional and self-organization fundamentals of cultural creation and their modernization at present stage.
The preconditions of the emergence of institutional and self-organizing forms of culture are analysed. The “dialectic” of the relations of “self-organization”, the process of formation and its development as a separate phenomenon and “institutionalization” as intermediate, if not the final result of the process of self-organization, are considered.
The article reveals the “nature” of cultural growth as a spontaneous process of self-organization of society in which the formation of institutions is only a “moment” of this self-organization. The institutionalization process was observed as one of the “moments” of self-organization, and the nature of the influence of institutions on the course of this process was revealed.
With regard to the “specificity” of the dialectics of the relations of “self-organization” and “institutionalization” in Ukraine, it is essentially reduced to the fact that the process of self-organization, as a rule, was subjected to negative foreign influences never, and in general, did not manifest itself in the “pure” form, since it did not run out logical end, that is completion.

Mythic Plots: the Experience of the Movie Interpretation

Tymofii Kohan
Summary.
The article states that the actor’s mastering of the role is structurally divided into several stages, at each of which there is a certain accumulation of knowledge about the character of the play. The main theories of the structure of the creative process are illuminated in the theories of the three-act by P. Engelmayer, the three-stage model of A. Poincaré, and the four-stage model of creative thinking by G. Wallace, E. Getchinson. The imagination and creative activity of a person depend on the diversity of his previous experience, represented by the material from which the constructions of the presentation are created. It is noted that the most important feature of the imagination is its striving for embodiment. The actor designs the future physical embodiment of the character’s stage image. It is concluded that the imagination is constructed from the thoughts and visions of a person, simultaneously or alternately covering his mind. The actor profession is dominated by the emotional connection between the activity of the imagination and the act of reincarnation. The peculiarity of the actor’s imagination is the creative experience of the actor, and not his personal one. Imagination works in the preparatory analytical stage of the role as the accumulation of former emotional traces. In the process of implementing the role, these traces come to life, which leads to the act of reincarnation in the role.
