Katechon in the Age of Cybernetic Systems’ Rage
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 successful transformation of catastrophes into a benefit or advantage. An analysis of the polemics aro…
Paradoxes of the Soviet-Chinese and Liberal-Democratic Models of Government
The article focuses on two models of political and state formations, those of liberal-democratic and Soviet-Chinese. The use of Niklas Luhmann’s concept of decision in analyzing their systemic foundations opens a new perspective on both these models and the contemporary political process. A brief overview of the discussion on the topic of decision-making in organizations was offered, and the heuristic value of Niklas Luhmann’s concept of decision…

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 discover the blind spots of these theories, those differences that lead to the unrecognizable, the back…

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 to clarify the main arguments and positions in these recent debates, and to analyze the attempt of a…
The role of culture in early Soviet models of governance
The Significance of a Non-event
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 platform, and that this speech would launch his campaign. His banal and conservative address deeply d…
