The article highlights the need to create a virtual Museum of Slavic Cultures. In our time of rapid digitalization of various spheres of life, this need seems to be obvious. The Museum’s materials concerning cultures of Eastern and Southern Slavs from ancient times to the present day are to be posted on the websites of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Ghent University not only in Russian, but also in English as it is the most common language in the world, with about 1,5 bln speakers. This will allow for a breakthrough in the dissemination of knowledge about Slavic cultures in non-Slavic environments. The Museum’s collections will not duplicate the materials available in numerous specialized encyclopedias, handbooks and on Wikipedia. Articles for the Museum will be written by the finest specialists working today, who will be able to build an accurate cultural landscape of the Slavic world, without overloading the visitors with secondary and unnecessary facts. The author proposes as optimal a three-part structure for the Museum’s articles, which, accompanied by visual materials, will be able to satisfy a wide variety of interests and tastes of visitors to the future Museum.

The article is dedicated to the manuscript heritage of Tatar scholars held in Abu Rayhan Beruni Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, one of the richest manuscript repositories in the world. Works of manuscripts of Tatar theologians such as Abdurahim Utyz-Imyani, Abu al-Nasr Qursawi, Shihabaddin Mardjani, and Hisam al-Din b. Sharaf al- Din al-Bulgari, Kamal al-Din b. Siraj al-Din al-Uribfori al-Kazani, ̒Ayn al-Din b. Jalal al-Din al-Kazani, Abu al-Sharaf Husain b. Abu Umar al- Bulgari, Muhammad Latif b. Abdulislam al-Bulgari are analyzed. Based on a review of the manuscripts, it is established that some of them have not yet been catalogued. It is argued that the works of Tatar scholars were mainly devoted to religious subjects. The role of Tatar scholars in the creation of commentaries and works on legal, medical and Sufi terms is analyzed in order to make the works accessible to a wide range of people seeking knowledge.

The article is the result of mapping the cultural space of Gorce. Using the tools of cultural map-ping and spatial turn, the Gorce mnemotoposes were analyzed and a map of the cultural spheres of the influence of regional actors on the creation of local genius loci was developed. The research focused on the presence of memory sites related to the World War II period and the participants of partisan actions in the Gorce region. The memory of Władysław Orkan, Józef Tischner and Tomasz Chlipała aka “Bulanda” also plays an important role in shaping the cultural landscape of Gorce.

<p>The aim of the Virtual Museum of the Tiber Valley project is the creation of an integrated digital system for the knowledge, valorisation and communication of the cultural landscape, archaeological and naturalistic sites along the Tiber Valley, in the Sabina area between Monte Soratte and the ancient city of Lucus Feroniae (Capena). Virtual reality applications, multimedia contents, together with a web site, are under construction and they will be accessed inside the museums of the territory and in a central museum in Rome. The different stages of work will cover the building of a geo-spatial archaeological database, the reconstruction of the ancient potential landscape and the creation of virtual models of the major archaeological sites. This paper will focus on the methodologies used and on present and future results.</p>

This collection contains articles by Russian participants of the tripartite (Belgium–Russia–Bulgaria) international research project “Diversity and interaction of written cultures of Southern and Eastern Slavs in the 11th — 20th centuries”, which won the EU ERA NET RUS Plus competition. It was overseen by a scholarly team at the Institute of Slavic studies of RAS with the financial support of the RFBR (grant No 18–512–76004). Their articles are intended for the thematic halls of the virtual Museum of Slavic Cultures and will be published on the websites of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Belgian Ghent University in Russian and English. They relate to the written cultures of Russia, Belarus’, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. These articles discuss the oldest monuments to the written word in these countries, famous saints and scribes, first typographers and writers, Slavist scholars, collectors of book treasures, and so on. The work is addressed not only to narrow specialists, but also to a wider audience — everyone who is interested in the culture of Southern and Eastern Slavs.

Empedocles uses two forces to describe the world process, the emergence and destruction of space - Love and Strife, which work in turn, and in due time, replace each other. It is obvious that love is responsible for unification and creation, and hostility for division and destruction. At first glance it seems quite natural that it is the power of unification that Empedocles calls Aphrodite. However, when you look closely at the fragments of the poem, the image of Aphrodite is not so unambiguous: she acts as a god-craftsman, that is, not just watches from afar as the roots of things are connected to each other, but mixes them with her own hands and is directly involved in the creation of living beings. We meet her involved in such activities as metal casting, pottery, and artwork. This naturally leads to the question from where did she get so many different functions? To answer this question, one should turn to literary sources about Aphrodite both before and after Empedocles’ life (in the context of Homer’s epos and Hesiod’s poem), consider the religious tradition of Cyprus and especially the East, neighboring Greece, from where, in the opinion of some scientists, the goddess could get into the Mediterranean cultural landscape (most important study here is the work by Nano Marinatos), to study archaeological data and findings related to Aphrodite. Taking into account Empedocles’ interest to bloodless sacrifices I will try to tie his views with the later orphic tradition. At the same time, in order to protect myself from losing the way in the forest of such huge massif it is necessary to restrict the area of this study. I will concentrate only on the activities of Aphrodite as she is presented in Empedocles.

The article presents the philosophical and pedagogical principles of creating a science museum for young students in the context of the development of scientific education. The global and conceptual transformations in public life over the last 20 years, which contribute to the change of approaches to the development of scientific education both in the world and in the country, are analyzed. The experience of high-tech countries of the world on the education of a new generation of researchers and a role in this process of interactive scientific spaces, possibilities of use of the potential of museums for the realization of educational and scientific programs is revealed. The peculiarities of fundamentally new approaches to the organization of museum spaces for young researchers, which form a research search approach, stimulate the creativity of gifted students in contrast to the reproductive acquisition of knowledge, are considered. The importance of new approaches and methods of museum pedagogy in modern conditions, in accordance with changes in education, psychology of modern students, the requirements of the new Ukrainian school to the level of knowledge of students and competencies of teachers. It is established that in the modern conditions of high-tech society, interactive scientific spaces should become centers of popularization of science, creative coworking spaces of communication for teachers-researchers and playgrounds-experiments for children. It is noted that the philosophical and pedagogical principles for the creation of the Museum of Science of the Academy of Sciences are increasingly relevant in the context of the development of scientific education, education of innovative, creative personality and should be based on general philosophical and cultural values.

This article addresses the meaning and significance of the “world revolution of 1968,” as well as the historiography of 1968. I critically interrogate how the production of a narrative about 1968 and the creation of ethnic studies, despite its world-historic significance, has tended to perpetuate a limiting, essentialized and static notion of “the student” as the primary actor and an inherent agent of change. Although students did play an enormous role in the events leading up to, through, and after 1968 in various parts of the world—and I in no way wish to diminish this fact—this article nonetheless argues that the now hegemonic narrative of a student-led revolt has also had a number of negative consequences, two of which will be the focus here. One problem is that the generation-driven models that situate 1968 as a revolt of the young students versus a presumably older generation, embodied by both their parents and the dominant institutions of the time, are in effect a sociosymbolic reproduction of modernity/coloniality’s logic or driving impulse and obsession with newness. Hence an a priori valuation is assigned to the new, embodied in this case by the student, at the expense of the presumably outmoded old. Secondly, this apparent essentializing of “the student” has entrapped ethnic studies scholars, and many of the period’s activists (some of whom had been students themselves), into said logic, thereby risking the foreclosure of a politics beyond (re)enchantment or even obsession with newness yet again.
