From Enframing to Burnout and Back Again
The Quadruple Interface and the Interiorization of Cultural Identity (Using the Virtual Hermitage as an Example)
Virtual museology has recently become a necessary part of cultural identification within the city: digital access to urban services is reciprocated by the virtual representation of the museum. This representation is active: it determines not only the modes of encounter with heritage, but also the very possibility of representing heritage, of its being articulated in a phenomenological sense. The article argues that the virtual museum cannot be un…
Sensing Change
Dominant sociological theories of social change, from modernization to institutional analysis, primarily address cognitive, economic, and structural factors, often overlooking the bodily, sensory dimension of transformation. This creates a conceptual gap in understanding how macro-social shifts permeate the level of personhood and vice versa. This article proposes to bridge this gap by developing a comprehensive conceptual framework based on sens…
The New Synergistic Quality in Bio-Art
The article is devoted to the philosophical analysis of the ontological shift in the concept of synergy demonstrated by the practices of contemporary bio-art. The classical theo-anthropological model of synergy, systematized in the synergetic anthropology of S.S. Khoruzhii, understands it as the joint action of human will and divine grace, unfolding in the vertical, hierarchical logic of dialogue with the transcendent. The authors show that bio-a…
Intermediality of silence
The article offers a comprehensive investigation of the phenomenon of silence in its intermedial aspect — during the transition from the literary system to the cinematic one, based on the material of Alexander Pushkin’s “Little Tragedies” and their film adaptation by Mikhail Schweitzer. Silence is examined as a fundamental cultural code that provides access to the microhistory of human passions and existential experiences. In Pushkin’s text, sile…
The Visual Gavagai
This article develops and introduces into scholarly discourse the interdisciplinary concept of the ‘visual Gavagai’, extending Willard Van Orman Quine’s famous thought experiment on the radical indeterminacy of translation into the realm of visual perception and art. The proposed concept allows for transcending the traditional art-historical dichotomy between the search for an immanent authorial intention and the subjective arbitrariness of inter…
Apophatic Stylistics as a Version of the Ontology of Art
This article proposes an ontological revision of the foundations of art historical analysis, which has traditionally relied on the hermeneutics of style expressed through a system of binary oppositions (from Wölffl in to Baxandall). In contrast to this relational model, which defines an artistic phenomenon through its difference from another style, the theory of apophatic stylistics is put forward. Borrowing its fundamental gesture from negative …
Visual Code and Cultural Memory in Lev Loseff’s Cycle of Ekphrases
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of Lev Loseff’s cycle Podpisi k vidennym v detstve kartinkam (Captions for Pictures Seen in Childhood), which is a unique phenomenon in Russian poetry of the second half of the 20th century. The article proposes a new approach to analyzing ekphrasis as a technology of meaning generation, where the visual image becomes a node connecting personal experience, cultural memory, and philosophical reflection…
Population‐Specific Circadian Drivers and MTNR1B Predict Arctic Morning Cortisol
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between morning cortisol concentration and circadian timing of physical activity, light exposure and sleep in Arctic residents, and examined the role of the MTNR1B rs10830963 polymorphism on this relationship. METHODS: Circadian parameters were derived from 7-day actigraphy utilizing the ActTrust 2 device with RGB light sensors. Actigraphy and cortisol were assessed in the same 27 (21 women) adu…
«Save my words forever»
Semiotics of Cinema in the Novel “The Mirror” by Irina Odoevtseva
In Irina Odoevtseva’s prose fiction the cinematograph appears as a border art, scary as the world of similarities, but at the same time characterizing both modernity and the current state of the world novel. The analysis of the corpus of her prose fiction indicates the persistence of a number of motifs associated with the cinematograph: untrue light, false love, and the ambiguous state of emotions. A detailed analysis of her novel The Mirror (193…
Authorial Deafness. Shadows of Nietzsche and Maeterlinck in Gorky’s Shiftology
The article analyzes the phenomenon of “authorial deafness”, articulated by Maxim Gorky as a specific insensitivity of writers to living oral speech and linguistic nuances in the era dominated by newspaper media. It studies parallels between that phenomenon and the aesthetic concepts of shiftology (sdvigologia) developed by Kruchyonykh, while discussing the musical-sound and theatrical dimensions of literary text in relation to the media aestheti…
Futurismovie. Abstruse Language (Zaum) and Cinema Gestes
Alexei Kruchenykh compared the abstruse language (zaum) to the international pantomime of silent cinema. But that contradicted his original idea of abstruse language as endowed with national and local coloring and expressing the core of national poetry. But abstruse language and cinema appear to be united by the rejection of theatrical improvisation, by the presence of the script or film shot as a constraint that allows improvising only as a tech…
Ψ-Conscience, Autonomy and Inner View or Conscience and Its Shadow. Reflections on G.S. Chernavin’s Book “The Semblance of Conscience”
G.I. Chernavin’s book “The Semblance of Conscience” continues the methodology of his previous book “The Philosophy of the Troll”: a phenomenological re-description of the untrue, taking into account the point of view of the producer of the untrue. In the “Semblance of Conscience”, the epistemological perspective is replaced by an ethical one. The author сonsiders how it is possible to distinguish between a real and a phantom (socially determined)…
Ballet Defamiliarization
The article studies the device of defamiliarization (ostranenie) in the context of its connection not with excess but with def iciency. Having not only an aesthetic but also a social dimension defamiliarization emerges as a response to the exhaustion of forms, their decay and loss of expressiveness. Avdotya Panayeva, describing the mechanics of theatrical illusion from an insider’s rather than spectator’s perspective, anticipates Tolstoy’s exposu…
Helmet and its special place in the anglo-saxon poem "Beowulf"
This study is devoted to a comprehensive linguocultural analysis of the polysemy of the Old English lexeme helm in the heroic epic "Beowulf". The aim of the work is to determine all identified cases of the root’s usage and to analyze their functions in the poetic discourse. The lexeme helm operates as a central element in a complex semantic system that reflects the hierarchy of patronage in Anglo-Saxon culture. Both purely utilitarian uses and th…
Emotional language in Political Discourse
The article is devoted to the analysis of emotional language as a key tool of political discourse that determines the nature of speech influence and the formation of public opinion. Emotional language is considered not just as an expressive means, but as an important mechanism for constructing meanings. In today's mediatized politics, emotions are becoming a powerful resource for influencing the electorate: they help politicians build trust, incr…
On the Materialist Theory of Apart
This article develops a materialist theory of apart, extending it beyond theatrical convention to a fundamental property of consciousness. Drawing on a synthesis of Bakhtin's ideas about the “incompleteness of consciousness” and Soviet psychology, apart is interpreted as a gesture in which consciousness, unable to complete itself from within, projects outward in search of the Other. It is demonstrated for the first time that Bakhtin's attempt to …
Gogol's Mirror
Mikhail Bakhtin's interpretation of urban carnival culture includes two reflective mechanisms: as representation and as the provision of subject unity. Bakhtin deftly reconciles these two patterns to prove two theses: a) that any participant in urban carnival culture opposes the official norms of culture and b) that the grotesque is a sustainable aesthetic principle of text generation different from the poetic-rhetorical rule. Gogol conflated bot…

Methods: During the general preparatory training period, 289 male and 113 female athletes aged 18–32 years from the Republic of Komi national cross-country skiing teams with sports qualification of at least first category were assessed.

Hypatia of the 21st century
The Imagery of M.V. Dobuzhinsky’s Illustrations to Yu.K. Olesha’s The Three Fat Men
Mstislav Dobuzhinsky’s illustrations to the tale by Yury Olesha The Three Fat Men have not received a convincing interpretation. It is suggested to read these illustrations as a special work with the social imaginary that expands the participation of the fairy tale’s characters in revolutionary events through a special gaze technique. Two types of imagination are distinguished: the narrative imagination, implying the acceptance of the structure o…
Constructing Group Identity within the Framework of Actor-Network Theory
The construction of group identity is examined on the example of analyzing interviews about the activities of the group “World Club of Petersburgers” in the optics of actor-network theory (NT). Language shapes group identity through the individual utterances, actions and practices of actors. The group is seen as an actor with a unique network of relationships. The study connects linguistics and NT's criteria for constructing groups, showing how l…
Theft From Thoughts
The paper argues that Bibikhin sought to bridge the contradiction between continental and analytical philosophy by construing Heidegger and Wittgenstein in the tradition of hesychasm. A key to this synthesis is first proposed: the doctrine of thoughts, which enabled him to conceive of ascetics as the art of improvisation. It is found that Bibikhin transformed Bakhtin’s thesis of safe and dangerous children, making it a reference point when talkin…
Change of Names. Khlebnikov, Aseev, and Bibler
The philosopher V.S. Bibler, relying on Khlebnikov, elaborated on the duality of verbal semantics: indication of formal action and performative production of action. The poetic etymology helped to distinguish the unchanging core of the indication of the properties of the thing and the changeable elements of performativity. But such a specific understanding of the social performativity of the verb was developed not so much by Khlebnikov as by Niko…

Literature of the Inner Frontier
The contemporary novel is undergoing significant changes, one of which is a new balance of social and inner experience in which a marginal condition of a person is not described from the outside, but as internal speech, as the main element of the novel. The article points to the origins of this phenomenon in the classical culture, introducing the term “literature of inner frontier” and investigates the minimum conditions allowing to attribute a t…

Patterns of Renaissance Epistolography in the Experimental Prose of Alexander Ilyanen
The online prose of Alexander Ilyanen, recognized as one of the most significant experiments of Russian literature today, is not only a reflection on the possibilities of writing and utterance, but also an experience of rewriting of written forms. Recent prose of Ilyanen is a kind of philological observation of the usability of different types of writing to assemble a meaningful statement about the current quarantine situation. Correlation of the…
Imatra and the Foaming “River of Oblivion” in Ekfrasis of the Beginning of the Xx Century
The article discusses the possible influence of the optical effects of the painting by F. Matveyev “Imatra Falls in Finland” on the imagery of Russian poetry from I. Annensky to B. Pasternak. It is shown that although Imatra was the closest natural landmark to St. Petersburg, the imagery associated with it could be not just an ekphrasis of the picture, but a “complex ekphrasis”, which included the features of the museum hall in which the picture …
The Sense of Homeland
Книга Э. Ф. Голлербаха «Город Муз» представляет собой цельное произведение, авторские иллюстрации которого дополняют текст и позволяют по-новому посмотреть на изложение вопросов в путеводителе. Доказывается, что книга имеет скрытые сюжеты, связанные с ощущением Царского Села как духовной родины русской поэзии. Для интерпретации иллюстраций значимы законы перспективы, отсылки к конкретным произведениям не только русского, но и античного искусства …
Non Lyrical and Non Epical Diary
The «from the diary» genre is difficult to study, since the indication of the origin is more significant than formal or substantial features, and the relationship between such an enhanced appeal to the origin and the development of creative design remains unclear. On the example of the use of this genre in the works by O. Sedakova, who designated a number of poetic and prosaic texts in this way, the characteristic of this genre is given as specia…

Overcoming the Genre System of the “Thick Journal” as a Socio-political Construction
One of the first publications of religious and philosophical content in the Soviet press was a two-part article by S. S. Averintsev, dedicated to a comparative study of Byzantine, Old Russian, and Western spirituality, with the appendix of a new translation of psalms. The publication of special and methodically-verified arguments in the popular thick magazine was caused by the softening of church-state relations, but the significance of this publ…
Yorinda and Yoringel by Bodo Fürneisen
The film Yorinda and Yoringel by Bodo Fürneisen, created on the basis of the recordings of a folktale by the Grimm brothers, shows an affinity for both a literary fairy tale and romance traditions, including a post-modern novel with a hero’s free choice of identity as the basis of the plot movement. To analyze the film, we relied on the methodology of psychoanalytic cinema science by Slavoj Žižek, supplementing it with the achievements of fundame…
Diastasis
The word “distance” itself is ambiguous: it means both the gap between two things, and the very ability of a thing to be at some distance from another, to stand at a distance. In the first case, we are simply talking about the impossibility of things to interact in the usual mode, while in the second about the thing’s own position, its individuation, which does not allow confusions. The superposition of these two meanings is productive for though…
“Pushkin in the Lyceum Years” by V.A. Favorsky as a Program of Metatextual Pushkin Studies
The famous graphic image of Pushkin, made by V.A. Favorsky, is considered as a concept for the development of Pushkin’s talent, and may be considered polemical in relation to the interpretation of the Pushkin lyceum-student by Bryusov. Based on the analysis of Favorsky’s illustrations to the works of Pushkin, offered by E. Babaev and A. Korolev, I argue that Favorsky opposed the sociological and psychological consideration of early Pushkin with t…
Scenic Representations of a Concert in the Independent Russian Poetry
The article examines the influence of pictorial models on the complex image of a concert in uncensored Russian poetry. It is proved that this image has always had an existential meaning associated with the characteristics of the individual and collective experience of death and immortality, and was not associated with the everyday environment of the concert. The concert turned into a universal symbol of the intense experience of time, its complex…
From Idealism to New Marxism. Part 1. Lev Pumpyansky
Lev Pumpyansky's turn at the end of the 1920s from criticism of Marxism to the full acceptance of Marxist sociology as the main working tool of the literary historian can be viewed as a capitulation, but it could also be a disclosure of the potential of previous criticism. I prove that the criticism of Marxism by Pumpyansky fully fit into the dispute of neo-Kantianism against Hegelianism, while his sociology of literature was based on neo-Kantian…
From Idealism to New Marxism. Part 2. Boris Vipper
Boris Vipper’s project, which authoritatively substantiated the order of operations of the art historian when dealing with various material, was part of an intellectual quest to overcome the contradictions between the formalist understanding of the visual and the neo-Kantian variation of the Ding an sich. These searches in the GAKhN art criticism uncovered two other contradictions: between individual interest in an aesthetic fact and collective e…
Topology of Contemporary Art Production
The article examines the applicability of new interdisciplinary methods to the artistic process in Russia using the example of three new books exploring the problems of contemporary art. These books prove the applicability of the achievements of intellectual magazine criticism (Kira Dolinina), institutional criticism (Stanislav Savitsky), and gender criticism (Olesya Avramenko) to the local artistic life of recent decades. What unites these books…
From Idealism to New Marxism. Part 3. Boris Asafiev
Although the merits of the major Soviet musicologist Boris Asafiev to the sociology of art are obvious, usually his system of studying melody and intonation as social phenomena is seen as a problematization of musical art rather than as a stimulus for his own thought. Using the example of Asafiev’s opera criticism from 1914 to 1947, I prove that his sociology of art was a constructivist system that focused on the permanence of implicit aesthetic …
The Ostensive and the Emp(h)atic
The critical method developed by Jacques Derrida requires a new attitude to ostensiveness: it is understood not as a quality of argument, but as a way of arranging heterogeneous utterances by placing human beings before their own history. This allows us to overcome the inconsistencies in our conception of how humans construct their own and others’ histories, and how the means of speech always lag this constituting. The article argues that Russian…
On the Intellectual History of Fragment
Unlike ‘ruin’ or ‘trauma’, the interpretation of which implies an established framework for the transformation of the subject in the course of historical experience, the ‘fragment’ is placed primarily in the perspective of reception. Therefore, discussions about the fragment are limited to the extent to which the philological or art history mode of perception of the fragment blocks or supports the socio-political action, which also includes fragm…
The Psychology of Art as an Art History Discipline
The article deals with the general educational and special function of the discipline “Psychology of Art” in the system of training art historians. It is proved that this discipline is a part of critical theories, propaedeutic for producing a critical attitude to both aesthetic experience and the usual forms of expression of this experience. Thus, the discipline compensates for shortcomings in the philosophical education of art critics and introd…
To the Theory of Dark Media
The concept of dark media, justified by Eugene Thacker, fully fits into today studies of the contingent. This article aimed to explore the potential of classical media theory to clarify the functional boundaries of this concept. I prove that it is possible to substantiate dark media as a phenomenon only by recognizing the connection between the main and auxiliary media, and then showing how this connection contributes to the transition from clear…

Heart rate variability in cross-country skiers with different level of maximum oxygen consumption
AIM: This research aimed to study heart rate variability (HRV) in cross-country skiers with different levels of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). MATERIALS AND METHODS: HRV analysis was carried out using the Ecosan-2007 (Medical Computer Systems, Russia) complex in 52 cross-country skiers from the Komi Republic team (candidates for master of sports and master of sports of Russia). The Oxycon Pro ergospirometric system (Erich Jaeger, Germany) w…
