Age Perception

The article proposes a procedure of "photo-video presentation of physical appearance" as a method of a person’s perceived age studying. It was developed on the basis of V.A. Labunskaya̕s socio-psychological approach to the appearance of a person, as well as on the world practice of perceived age studying. "Perceived age" is considered as a result of a person’s physical appearance perception. It is the object age perception, attributed to it by the perception subject. The physical appearance of a person and its components act as age markers, which can be studied by people of different age photos and video images presenting to subjects of perception (evaluators). The article discusses some methodological problems that arise in the study of person’s perceived age, namely: what to show (photo/video, face/body), to whom to show (experts / ordinary people, men/women, young/elderly) and to how many appraisers to show. In the article on the basis of modern research the number of methodological approaches to designing the sets of photos and video images of appearance to study person’s perceived age are proposed.

This wonderfully illustrated book accompanied an exhibition that took place at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, from June 8 to September 23, 2018, authored by two well established and respected art historian*s, who provide us with a sweeping view of the world of monsters and many other related creatures in medieval fantasy. While previous research mostly focused on monsters in the narrow sense of the word, i.e., grotesque and oversized human-like creatures normally threatening ordinary people in their existence, Lindquist and Mittman pursue a much broader perspective and incorporate also many other features in human imagination, including wonders, aliens, Jews, Muslims, strangers in general, the femme fatale, sirens, undines, mermaids (but there is no reference to the Melusine figure, though she would fit much better into the general framework), devils, and evil spirits. However, I do not understand why ‘gargoyles’ have been left out here. This vast approach allows them also to address the beasts from the Physiologus tradition, then natural wonders, giants, and then, quite surprisingly, religious scenes in psalters (148), depictions of nobles playing chess (150; where are the wild men alleged surrounding the players?), the whore of Babylon (153), figures from the Apocalypse, and anything else that smacks of wonder.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению основных подходов к изучению музыки в шаманизме, сложившихся и функционирующих в современной антропологии и музыковедении. Автор характеризует различные направления в каждом из них, приводя в качестве примеров и анализируя наиболее показательные труды. Литература (источники и исследования) подобрана таким образом, чтобы позволить читателю самостоятельно расширить библиографический список. Изложение следует хронологическому порядку и отражает логику развития научного знания в избранной области. Два наиболее ранних подхода - музыкально-этнографический и музыкально-теоретический - продолжают сохраняться и развиваться до сих пор. Относительно недавно на их основе начал формироваться комплексно-текстологический подход. Все они ориентированы на изучение самой музыки в этнографическом контексте (тексториентированные подходы). Позже появляются многочисленные труды музыкально-антропологического и культурологического направлений, довольно подробно исследующие концептуальные и функциональные аспекты шаманской и, шире, сакральной музыки в разных традициях (контексториентированные подходы). В последнее время появляется все больше работ, в которых в разной форме реализуется музыкально-психологический подход, причем спектр направлений внутри него весьма широк - от культурологических до нейрофизиологических. Большинство подобных исследований проводится за рубежом. В результате предпринятого обзора автором определены наиболее актуальные направления изучения проблематики «музыка и шаманизм». Это комплексный анализ полных вербально-музыкальных текстов шаманских камланий, исследование характера взаимосвязи звукового компонента с измененными состояниями сознания, изучение региональных традиций, а также, в перспективе, развитие методологии сравнительно-исторического исследования музыкальной составляющей шаманских традиций. This article examines the main approaches to the study of music in shamanism that have been developed and those that are current in modern anthropology and musicology. The author characterises the different areas of research covered in each approach, giving examples and analyzing representative works. The presentation of the different approaches is chronological and reflects the logic of the development of scholarly knowledge in the given field. The two earliest approaches - musical-ethnographic and musical-theoretical - continue to be used. Relatively recently, an integrative and textological approach has begun to be applied on their basis. These textually-oriented methods aim at studying the music in an ethnographic context. Subsequently context-oriented approaches have appeared, applying musical-anthropological and culturological methods that explore the conceptual and functional aspects of shamanic - and, more broadly, sacral - music in different traditions. Recently there have been an increasing number of studies that implement a music-psychological approach in various forms. The range of directions within this approach is broad, from culturological to neurophysiological; most such studies are conducted outside Russia. The author also identifies the most relevant current areas of research. These include: the comprehensive study of the verbal and musical texts of shamanic rituals; study of the nature of these texts’ relationship to altered states of consciousness; and comparative research on the most significant regional traditions. She looks forward to the development of a methodology appropriate for comparative historical research on the musical component of shamanic traditions.

The article attempts to comprehend the essence and possibility of forming discourse competence among foreign and Russian students with simultaneous immersion in patriotic discourse. It is highlighted that the addition of the humanitarian series of “History of Civilizations” and “Features of Russian Civilization” to the educational process at the university creates the necessary pedagogical conditions for organizing a special linguo-ethno-cultural environment that forms active social interaction of authors within the framework of the medical and patriotic linguistic scenario. The authors of the article conducted a semantic and historical analysis of interpretations of the concept of “patriotism” that were studied from the point of view of traditional and liberal culture. The article presents the results of a socio-pedagogical study of students' perceptions of this concept. The article describes various theoretical and methodological approaches to the definition of the concepts of “discourse” and “discursive picture of the world” as well as psycholinguistic features of the method of semantic differential. Special attention in the article is paid to the typologies of discourse presented in the scientific literature. The authors of the article present the principle of genre and the principle of thematic correlation as the basis for distinguishing between types of discourse and highlight differences in language and discursive pictures of the world. The tasks of educators is to form not only purely medical discursive competence, but also to immerse the listener in “correctly” interpreted picture, saturated with verbal patterns that allow to create statements of patriotic content.

Hostile Attitude

The tendency to intensify Islamophobia in its various manifestations, from the hostile attitude towards the Muslims to open acts of aggression and calls for hatred and violence against the representatives of this religion - unfortunately, has recently been observed in many countries of the world. Some factors contribute to this: firstly, the inspiration by some unscrupulous media of identifying Muslims with terrorists and extremists, a new wave of fear, caused by reports of numerous crimes by militants of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State" (whose activities generally contradict the spirit of Islam as a peaceful and humanistic religion that recognizes human life of the highest value and equates the killing of one person to the murder of all mankind) and recent attacks with a large number of human victims (in particular, in France and Belgium); and secondly, the reluctance of ordinary people to see in their environment those who differ from them (rejection of "someone else", due to the imaginary division of the world into "we" and "they"). Bearers of another culture are perceived as a threat of violations of the usual way of life, changes in the established system of values. Hence, the sharply negative attitude towards refugees from Syria and other Islamic countries.

Monetary Circulation

The article presents the main results of a study of cryptocurrency as a financial instrument of the future from the standpoint of various methodological approaches aimed at identifying trends in its functioning within the framework of the theory and practice of monetary circulation. The fundamental hypothesis of the study is the prospect of introducing cryptocurrency as a legitimate means of payment to replace the classical forms of money in the context of the transformation of the world economy. This study and its results will contribute to solving a global scientific problem – the formation of a scientifically grounded theoretical and statistical base in the context of the specifics of cryptocurrency’s functioning and the possibility of its functioning as a legitimate means of payment in the modern economy. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to reassess the existing monetary system along with financial mechanisms and operating institutions in view of the emerging crisis of confidence in the current system of state regulation of the economy. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the development of modern economic theory from the standpoint of the functioning of cryptocurrency as a component of monetary circulation via approaches that study cryptocurrency as an alternative to outdated financial mechanisms. This work opens up an opportunity for further research in the field of cryptocurrency relations, its further improvement and implementation in the national financial system.
