The Peripeteias of Cultural Politics in “The Craft” (1996)
The paper is a detailed analysis of Miranda Corcoran's monograph on the 1996 horror film “The Craft”, published in the “Devil's Advocates” series. Corcoran specializes in the representation of young witches in popular culture. The author of the paper presents the book's contents, accompanied by critical remarks. For example, Miranda Corcoran writes in detail about the contexts of the 1980s and 1990s—the “Satanic Panic,” the “Riot Grrrl” movement,…
Critique of Surveillance Capitalism
The paper is devoted to the criticism of the concept of surveillance capitalism proposed by Shoshana Zuboff. First of all, the unprecedented popularity of the concept is noted and the fact that many scholars do not always use it appropriately in their research. Criticism of surveillance capitalism, focused on the construction of its own concepts, is called “parasitic.” Instead, attention is drawn to criticism focused on problematizing the concept…
Kantian Patriotism
The article considers a paradoxical, at first glance, question – does the social and political philosophy of Immanuel Kant allow patriotism as a duty. The fact is that Kant is widely considered an icon of cosmopolitanism. His “cosmopolitanism” was reflected in such works as “Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Purpose” (1784), and later, with adjustments, in “Toward Perpetual Peace” (1795) and “Metaphysics of Morals” (1797). Consid…
Fight Club, Capitalist Gothic, and the Meaning of Interpretation
The paper provides an analysis of multiple interpretations of the cult film Fight Club. The author divides the readings of the film into three types — judgment interpretations, theoretical, or methodologically thorough interpretations, and argumentative interpretations. Further in the paper the author groups these interpretations under several headings — Henry Giroux’s Fight Club reading; a critique of the film as a sexist and patriarchal one, fe…
“The paradoxical nature of Zinoviev’s speeches was a natural consequence of their truth.” An Interview
The article is devoted to a discussion of the creative legacy of the national philosopher, writer, and sociologist Alexander Zinoviev and is timed to coincide with his 100th anniversary. Abdusalam Guseynov, director of the Institute of Philosophy and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who knew Zinoviev personally and is concerned with his legacy, discusses the influence that the philosopher had on Russia, the world, and the national intel…
The 70-Year-Old The New Science of Politics
The paper is a reflection on the book The New Science of Politics: An Introduction by the German-American political philosopher Eric Voegelin. The book is considered as a classic work in the field of the political theory of the 20th century. The first edition of the book was published in 1952, but its Russian translation was only completed in 2021. The author notes that although Voegelin’s thought is clear, the reading of the work may be difficul…
Free Money in a Mousetrap of Surveillance Capitalism
The article concerns the social theory of an unconditional basic income (a regular payment to each person regardless of their level of need or employment). The article points out that, during the last three years in Russia, the idea of a basic income has been actively discussed. This applies mainly to economists, whereas the author puts the question of a basic income in the context of Western social theory. In a situation of ever-accelerating cha…

The Future as a Subject of Social Theory
The subject of this article is a critical analysis of the “concept of the future” as proposed by the British social theorist, John Urry (1946–2016). The author briefly examines the intellectual legacy of the sociologist and his contribution to the creation of a new social theory, pointing out that Urry’s books that were translated into Russian do not fully represent his scientific work, but reflect the later period of his research activity. What …
The Parallaxes of the Fox
The author of this article tries to reconsider the subject field of social-philosophical knowledge. He considers the principal difference of social philosophy from theoretical sociology, historical sociology, and political philosophy. On the basis of this differentiation, it is stated that social philosophy is a separate and coherent discipline. The author then considers several possible approaches to the study of society that could be characteri…
Space Foes
The concept of revolution remains relevant both for social-political debates and for academic studies. But at the same time many left thinkers as well as Neo-Marxist theorists have some problems with this concept, as it is nolonger possible to reflect on revolution in terms of laws of history. For this reason, supporters of revolution consider revolution as a kind of utopian condition. Another difficulty is connected to the fact that today it is …
Permafrost-climatic monitoring of Russia
The author surveys work currently under way in the Russian Federation to assess the interrelationships between climate and permafrost and its use as a basis for forecasting change in permafrost conditions. Long-term trends in air temperature, precipitation, and snow depth provide the basic information for efforts to reconstruct past climates and for the formulation of numerical atmospheric radiation-circulation models, utilized in climate forecas…
Patterns of frozen ground formation accompanying recent climate changes
Beginning in the mid‐1960s a universal air temperature increase has been observed in the North. The warming of the upper horizons of the cryolithozone, recorded at observation stations during the last 15–20 years, in some cases is related to an increase in air temperature, but in others to an increase in snow depth. A scenario of moderate climate warming in northern Russia by 2020–2025, which will not result in a substantial restructuring of froz…
