EXISTENTIAL DIMENSIONS OF WAR
type: item
description: The article is dedicated to the study of the relevant topic of war in the context of the global transformations the world is undergoing. It addresses issues related to the existential challenges faced by an individual when experiencing radical changes in existence. The article traces the line of the individual9s acceptance of war as a new normality. By analyzing current military conflicts, such as the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the Syrian War, it is possible to conclude the ontological uniformity of war as such, when thinking in existential terms. In this case, the article aims to make existential discourse relevant again in Ukrainian science and to explore the dimensions of war in three different planes: reality, actuality, and virtuality. Paper analyzes the existential challenges faced by an individual in a war situation. Research methodology. The research is based on hermeneutic and systemic approaches, which allow for the systematization and interpretation of the experience of war within the context of cultural studies and the philosophy of culture. Results. The results lie in the identification of four main existential challenges embedded within the dimensions of war (reality, actuality, and virtuality). These challenges faced by the individual contribute to the establishment of the normalization of war as the only possible state in which society finds itself. Specifically, the following factors should be noted: 1) mental and territorial division within a single group based on regional principles, 2) blurring of the concepts of truth and reality, 3) destruction of living space, and 4) existential rupture as factors influencing the normalization of war. Novelty. The novelty lies in outlining the interconnection between the dimensions of war (the planes it pertains to), the challenges within them, and temporality as a factor that transforms human existence by normalizing the state of war as the only possible reality. The practical …

CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON OF IDENTITY IN THE THEORIES OF RESEARCHERS OF THE XX-XXI CENTURIES
type: item
description: Purpose of the research. To provide a general description of approaches to understanding identity. Research methodology. The study uses the following general scientific and specialized (cultural) methods and approaches: cultural-analytical; typological; chronological; comparative; systematic. They make it possible to identify common and distinctive conceptual features present in different approaches to understanding identity. The aforementioned methods facilitate the classification or differentiation of identity theories and make it possible to identify the interconnection between different scientific strategies for understanding identity. Results. The study found that identity is a multi-level and multifunctional phenomenon. It was found that it is carried out on two interrelated levels 3 individual and collective. In psychological theories, the emphasis is on the formation and transformation of individual identity. In sociological and philosophical theories, the research focus is on identifying the characteristics of the emergence and spread of collective identity. It was revealed that identity is constructed and determined by the following sociocultural elements: mentality, traditions, symbols, rituals, morals, ideals, and norms. It has been found that in transitional societies, the issue of identity crisis is actualized, which consists in the modification of the current configuration of identities or their replacement by others. It has been found that national identity encompasses various aspects or components of different sociocultural identities, influencing the latter. It is determined that the productivity of identity is determined by its ability to respond to sociocultural challenges and processes. It is established that in the postmodern era, a conceptual rethinking of identity is taking place. It acquires the characteristics of multiplicity, variability, and decentering, which indicates a change in its substantive and conceptual understanding. Novelty. Th…

description: Український кінематограф є важливим засобом збереження та популяризації національної культури. Дослідження базується на історичному, культурологічному, порівняльному та соціологічному методах. Історичний підхід дає змогу простежити основні етапи розвитку українського кінематографа. Культурологічний аналіз виявляє як кіно відображає традиційні символи та етнічні особливості. Порівняльний аналіз дозволяє співвіднести українське кіно зі світовими тенденціями, а соціологічний метод визначає його вплив на суспільну свідомість. Український кінематограф пройшов значний шлях. Радянська епоха принесла водночас культурні досягнення та жорстку цензуру, але окремі митці, як С. Параджанов, зберегли національну самобутність. Сьогодні українське кіно активно відроджується, отримує міжнародне визнання та демонструє широкий жанровий спектр. Українське кіно є важливим інструментом збереження та популяризації національних культурних традицій. Воно відображає історичні та соціальні процеси, формує національну ідентичність і є значущою частиною світового кінематографа. Подальші дослідження у цій сфері допоможуть краще зрозуміти вплив кіно на суспільну свідомість і його роль у збереженні національних традицій

THE CONCEPT OF THE NATIONAL IN THE ALTERNATIVES OF THE PRODUCTION-PROGRESSIVE AND CULTURAL-HISTORICAL APPROACHES
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to define the national in art through the lens of an alternative progressive understanding of national essence, focusing on the artistic significance of works created by representatives of nations that did not hold leading economic or political positions in the world. Their creative achievements clearly served to compensate, within the national consciousness, for the broader accomplishments of national self-identification. The research methodology is based on a theoretical analysis of literary sources, which enabled a cultural interpretation of art studies oriented toward the search for national self-identification. The application of methods of systematization and generalization contributed to identifying the compensatory core of cultural and aesthetic activity and the ideal-oriented nature of creative efforts. The scientific novelty lies in establishing a consistent cultural focus in the study of artistic phenomena, reflected in the emphasis on the compensatory and ideal significance of artistic achievements as expressions of national culture. It is revealed that in this context, commemoration plays a key role as a mechanism of cultural memory through which art preserves, reinterprets, and transmits ideal values across generations. Conclusions. The national, primarily understood in this discourse as a phenomenon of «national character», possesses clear advantages over industrial-economic progressivism, indicating the fundamental and even leading role of ideal cultural indices in the existence of a nation. Artistic culture also functions as a carrier of generational memory 3 the codified experience of a community accumulated in artistic works and reproduced at critical historical moments. The compensatory role of ideal cultural achievements in relation to economic and productive factors, aimed at ensuring the completeness of the nation's historical expression, became particularly evident in the artistic sphere at the turn of the 20 th …

SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICES OF THE NEW 8NORMAL9: ADAPTATION TO THE LONG-TERM MARTIAL LAW
type: item
description: The aim: The article explores the phenomenon of «new normalcy», which is associated with the emergence of new and changing cultural practices in Ukrainian society in the context of the full-scale phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The author analyses how completely «abnormal» phenomena for modern civilisation are being integrated into everyday life, creating a new cultural space. Research methodology: The theoretical framework of the study is based on the concepts of «routinization» by E. Giddens, habitus by P. Bourdieu and cultural trauma by J. Alexander and P.Stompka, as well as the works of Ukrainian researchers. Results: The study shows that the «new normal» is a complex phenomenon that emerges as a result of the dialectical interaction between the destruction and reproduction of cultural practices in the context of the existential struggle for independence and national identity. Novelty: The study proposes a conceptual model of the «new normal» as a dialectical form of the process of destruction and reconstruction of socio-cultural practices in the context of the existential crisis caused by the war. The practical significance: The results of the study have important theoretical implications that will help to better analyse cultural transformations in wartime. Further development of the «new normal» may also have practical value in the form of a methodological framework for improving cultural policy in the context of a protracted war. In addition, understanding the principles of the 8new normal9 can also serve as a means to create new mechanisms for protecting Ukrainian identity in times of war and potentially plan for post-war reconstruction.

CULTURAL MEMORY POLICY AS A TOOL FOR RESTORING CULTURAL IDENTITY AND OVERCOMING THE CONSEQUENCES OF GENOCIDE
type: item
description: The relevance of this research lies in the need to identify qualitatively new methods for implementing cultural memory policies within the Ukrainian sociocultural context in order to preserve Ukrainian cultural identity in the face of genocidal practices. Accordingly, the aim of this academic article is to analyze existing cultural memory policies in post-genocidal societies, as well as the mechanisms of their implementation in the context of restoring and preserving cultural identity, with a view to their further adaptation in the Ukrainian context. Research methodology. The study employs a range of interdisciplinary scholarly methods, including critical discourse analysis, comparative analysis, conceptual analysis, and qualitative case study analysis. The research is grounded in a combination of academic approaches such as cultural, historical, sociological, and comparative perspectives. Results. The article analyzes relevant scholarly contributions to the study of cultural memory. Cultural memory is defined as a significant traumatic or sacred experience transmitted across generations through the mechanisms of social institutions such as ritual, politics, and art. Drawing on Raphael Lemkin9s theory of genocide and examining historical cases of genocidal practices (the Holocaust and the genocide of the Ukrainian people), the article demonstrates their destructive impact on the cultural identity of oppressed ethnic or national groups. Key approaches to understanding the concept of cultural memory policy are explored, along with selected examples of memory politics in Israel and Rwanda. Novelty and practical significance. Contemporary cultural memory policy in Ukraine includes several mechanisms comparable to those found in the post-genocidal societies analyzed. However, the genocidal experience of the russian-Ukrainian war requires the development of new tools for preserving Ukrainian cultural identity and for transmitting the consequences of this experience to fut…

INTERPRETIVE DYNAMICS OF THE CONCEPT OF ARTISTIC CREATIVITY IN ANCIENT CULTURE
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to analyze what were the peculiarities of the study of artistic creativity in antiquity, what theoretical potential the ancient heritage has in understanding the phenomenon of artistic creativity, which can be useful in the modern cultural discourse. The methodological basis of the study is the use of theoretical tools developed in modern science, which allows to analyze the essential characteristics of artistic creativity with a sufficient degree of completeness, reflecting in its essential basis both phenomenological and ontological parameters of its social functioning. At the same time, it turns out to be effective to apply such methods as the method of system-structural analysis, the method of comparativism, which allow analyzing the essence and nature of the phenomenon of artistic creativity, the vectors of research of this artistic phenomenon as an important component of contemporary theoretical discourse. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that artistic creativity is for the first time considered in the context of comprehension, a very complex phenomenon that has acquired, of course, sometimes unusual and hence complicated forms in the modern socio-cultural space, and the initial attempts to comprehend it, which were embodied in the works of ancient authors. The results of research. The article reveals the heuristically significant potential of the ideas of ancient philosophers in the context of clarifying the essential parameters of the phenomenon of artistic creativity at the present stage of development of science. Thus, the article shows that such ancient thinkers as Plato, Aristotle and a number of others managed to analyze the gigantic scope of all human relations to the world, and, at the same time, made a huge contribution to a specific matter 3 a deep interpretation of the creative process in art, revealed the most important regularities of the phenomenon of artistic creativity at the modern stage of cu…

AN ATTEMPT AT A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF SAMPLING BASED ON PIERRE SCHAFER9S SOUND OBJECTS : CULTURAL STUDIES PERSPECTIVE
type: item
description: Purpose of the work. Purpose of the work is to reconceptualize use of the musical sampling beyond its technical execution. This article presents an interdisciplinary study of the phenomenon of music sampling as both an object of phenomenological analysis and a cultural artifact. The reuse of musical material is no longer seen as a purely technical technique, but rather is revealed in terms of the deep cultural meaning it encodes. In order to reveal the encoded meanings, the study draws on the theoretical work of Pierre Schafer, in particular, his conceptualization of the terms l'objet sonore and musique concrète, and offers a phenomenological view of samples as separate audio phenomena that manifest themselves through reduced listening. The article also explores the cultural rootedness of samples, with a purpose of suggesting that samples function as carriers of memory and cultural identity, moving from a state of perceptual presence to a state of semiotic depth depending on the listener's cultural context. Methodical base. The study uses phenomenological reduction based on Pierre Schafer's method of reduced listening, interpretive analysis of audio objects, comparative analysis of historical sound practices, discourse analysis of cultural and political dimensions of sampling, hermeneutical interpretation within cultural theory, and theoretical synthesis of phenomenology, sound studies, and poststructuralist thought. Scientific novelty. The novelty of the work lies in the attempt to analyze sampling as both phenomenological and cultural phenomena. This analysis has shown that music samples should be considered as intentional and acoustic sound objects, isolated from their original source and recontextualized in a new creative environment. Techniques such as looping and sound transformation reflect Schaffer's early experiments («closed loop» and «cut bell»), emphasizing the role of reduced listening in the sampling process. Reduced listening facilitates the isolation…

UKRAINIAN CULTURE: THE PAST, MODERN WAYS OF DEVELOPMENT IMAGES RELATED TO INITIATION RITES IN CAVE ART OF THE STONE AGE
type: item
description: The purpose of the article: to consider the handprints of teenagers in Stone Age caves in relation to the accompanying images of the magical numbers of the lunar calendar and phytophagic (used in the magic of reproduction) as traces of initiation and to find out whether new ideas and concepts that arose as a result of progressive changes in the social development of society in the 40-35 millennium BC were reflected. in the names and religiophilosophical interpretations of the then-dominant zodiac signs of Libra, Virgo and Leo, in which at that time the conventional point of intersection of the ecliptic and the equator (the point of the spring equinox) passed. The methodological basis of the research were the works by Zh. Bezvershuk, G.-H. Luquet, L.-R. Nougier, A. Stolyar, V. Kabo, Cl. Ruggles, O. Gurstein, M. Chmykhov. As a result of the study, it was found that the handprints of teenagers in many Stone Age caves are combined with rows of red discs (spots) grouped in the numerical rhythms of the lunar calendar, which was used by women in reproductive magic to determine the dates of conception and birth of a child. Near palm prints, there are also images of phytophages, which in the minds of primitive man were perceived as zoomorphic images of the male fertilizing potency that gives the seeds of life. This unequivocally indicates that the handprints of teenagers were associated with initiation rites, the main purpose of which was to transfer teenagers from the asexual state of childhood to the status of fullfledged adult members of the collective, who were allowed to continue their lineage. The rite of initiation appeared as a result of the transition from primitive herds to tribal communities, where relations between members of clans and phratries were clearly regulated. New ideas and concepts that arose in the consciousness of Paleolithic man in connection with significant progressive changes in the social development of primitive society were reflected in the nam…

CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC PRACTICES OF LAVINIA FONTANA IN EARLY MODERN BOLOGNA AND ROME
type: item
description: The goal of the study is to identify and clarify the specifics of the cultural and artistic practices of the Bolognese artist Lavinia Fontana of the early modern period of Italian culture. The methodology is based on a comprehensive approach consisting of historical research methods: biographical, historical-chronological, historical-comparative, as well as iconographic and iconological. The study is based on the principles of objectivity and logic in combination with scientific approaches from the standpoint of socio-anthropological determinism and the dialectical relationship of the historical-cultural context and the life world of the individual, which made it possible to achieve substantiated research results. The scientific novelty of the study lies in substantiating the importance of Lavinia Fontana's cultural and artistic practices in Early Modern Bologna and Rome for modern cultural studies, art studies, and museology. For the first time, a comprehensive examination of her works of art has been carried out in the context of museum collections, deepening the cultural discourse, and the development of museum practices. As a result of the study, the cultural and artistic activities of women in Bologna were analyzed, which indicates a certain freedom of production in various spheres. The special role of the University of Bologna (1088), where girls had the right to study, is revealed, and the cultural influence of patrons of art is emphasized. The professional fulfillment of women artists lies not only in the nature of individual genius, but in the availability and access to art education. It is determined that the role of the father-artist, husband, or lover-artist is significant in the professional development of many women artists. However, a more successful artist could be a nun in a monastery, or an artist's daughter in her father's studio. To pursue a career in art, a female artist had to be unconventional, strong, especially in times past, to resist or fi…

CHINOISERIE STYLE WITHIN THE CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC TRADITIONS OF THE FAR EAST IN EUROPEAN CONTEXT
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to study the development of oriental traditions on the example of the Chinoiserie style in Europe, in particular Ukraine. To examine the artistic phenomenon formed under the influence of the cultural traditions of the Far East and to trace its manifestations in painting, architecture, theatre, decorative and applied arts, and porcelain of the European space of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This analysis also aims to identify the peculiarities of the perception of Oriental culture by the European audience and to outline the prospects for further study of Chinoiserie in Ukrainian art history. The methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach, in which analytical, historical and cultural, arthistorical, cross-cultural, hermeneutical, and contextual methods were applied. The results. The Chinoiserie style in European art has become an expression of interest in another culture, a source of inspiration, and a unique way of artistic exploration of the exotic world. This phenomenon demonstrates the complexity of intercultural interactions and how cultural images can be transformed depending on the context. The study of chinoiserie as an artistic phenomenon allows us to take a fresh look at the processes of stylization, imitation, and cultural adaptation. In Ukrainian art history, the study of chinoiserie is a promising area that allows us to broaden our understanding of European art, as well as to include examples of Ukrainian estates with the interiors in question in the international discourse, by exploring in more detail the estates and gardening ensembles of Ukraine, which show the influence of oriental motifs and the chinoiserie style, which was adapted to local orders. The novelty. To date, there have been no fundamental works analyzing the Chinoiserie style in the context of the history of art, architecture, painting, and decorative and applied arts in the European space. This complicates both the formation of a holis…

DOLLS OF THE MEZHYGIRSKY VERTEP IN THE CREATIVITY OF ARTISTS-BOICHUKISTS OF THE 1920 S
type: item
description: The purpose is to identify the artists and sculptors involved in the design of theatrical puppets and the development of the Mezhyhirsk Nativity Scene repertoire, and to outline the list of the latter's characters, characterize their stylistic and artistic-figurative features within the framework of avant-garde scenography. Results. So, the Mezhyhirsk Nativity Scene puppet theater was founded in the fall of 1923 on the initiative of the political instructor, representative of the People's Commissariat of Education, and art critic Pavlo Horbenko. It was supported by the head of the institution Vasyl Sedlyar, sculptor, professor Yevhen Sahaidachny, and student activists 3 Ilko Zaika, Mykola Tsivchynsky, Dmytro Holovko. Most likely, in addition to Yevhen Sahaidachny, Vasyl Sedlyar's wife Oksana Pavlenko and Mykhailo Boychuk's wife Sofia Nalepynska-Boychuk were involved in the development of graphic sketches of the nativity scene puppets. The choice of characters was based on a synthesis of the active figures of medieval mysteries and traditional Ukrainian folk nativity scenes (such as God, Tsar, Archangel, Pastor, representatives of various professions and people from the common people). But to spite the day, they were supplemented with foreign heroes, mostly famous capitalists, interpreted, albeit with humor and sarcasm, but mostly with a negative connotation. Among them are MacDonald (Ramsey MacDonald), Lord Curzon (George Curzon), sometimes he was passed off as Chamberlain, French diplomat (Paul Deschanel), American representative (Hugo Stinnes), General Ludendorff (Erich Ludendorff), Occasional diplomat (Woodrow Wilson), Occasional capitalists (Gustav Stresemann, Raymond Poincaré), some of whom were identified by the theater as political world figures of the 1920s in the last decade. In total, during the years 192331924, while the Moscow Art Theater troupe existed, about 30 nativity dolls were designed (21 are available, several are known from photos, 1 from a grap…

VIENNA FIVE-STRING DOUBLE BASS IN CONCERT AND CHAMBER MUSIC OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD
type: item
description: The Purpose of the Article. The article examines the unique role of the Vienna five-string double bass in the development of concert and chamber music during the Classical period. It aims to analyze how the instruments distinctive tuning system (tertiary-quartal tuning centered on D major) influenced compositional style, performance techniques, and the emergence of a virtuosic repertoire for the double bass in late 18th-century Vienna. Research Methodology. The study employs a historical and analytical approach based on the examination of original scores, archival documents, and scholarly research. The methodology integrates comparative analysis of musical works composed for the Viennese double bass and structural examination of the instrument's construction and tuning system. Results. The findings reveal that the technical and acoustic features of the Viennese double bass facilitated the creation of a rich body of repertoire by composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Hoffmeister, Dittersdorf, and Sperger. The unique tuning enabled ease in executing arpeggios, harmonics, and scalar passages, thus broadening the instrument9s expressive capabilities. Moreover, it contributed to redefining the double bass9s role from a continuo instrument to a full-fledged solo and ensemble voice. Novelty. This research sheds light on an underexplored aspect of music history 3 the interaction between instrument design and compositional style in the Classical period. It introduces new insights into the historically informed performance of works written for the Viennese double bass. The Practical Significance. The study encourages modern performers to engage with historically accurate techniques and tuning systems, offering a deeper understanding of Classical repertoire. It also provides valuable material for educators, performers, and researchers aiming to revive and preserve this distinct Viennese tradition.

LES KURBAS9S 1933 PRODUCTION OF MAKLENA GRASA AS A SYNTHESIS OF ARTISTIC EXPLORATION AND THEORETICAL INQUIRY
type: item
description: This article examines the nuances of the interpretation of operatic arias by Italian composers from the late 19th century by Chinese soprano Hui He in collaboration with the string ensemble «Verona Lirica». In contemporary musicology, the significance of studying the operatic arts across various cultures is increasingly recognized, as it unveils unique aspects of interpretation and intercultural communication. The artistry of Chinese performers, particularly Hui He, represents an intriguing phenomenon that opens new avenues for understanding the interplay between different musical traditions. The aim of this paper is to identify the features of the musical and performance interpretation of individual operatic arias by Italian composers from the late 19 th century by Hui He and the string ensemble «Verona Lirica». The methodological approach of this research encompasses historical, textual, genre-stylistic, and comparative analyses, facilitating a deeper exploration of the intricacies involved in performance practice. The findings reveal that Hui Hes interpretations are marked by a distinctive originality while maintaining the traditions of Italian opera, all the while incorporating elements of Chinese musical culture. Special attention is given to arias such as «Io son l'umile ancella» and «La mamma morta», which exemplify not only the technical proficiency of the performer but also the depth of emotional expression, thus affirming Hui He9s ability to create vivid stage personas even in the context of concert performances. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of genre-stylistic and interpretive analyses, as well as the focus on performers who have not received widespread recognition within Ukrainian musicology. The practical significance of this work is that its outcomes can inform the development of educational programs and research initiatives in the field of operatic interpretation, which is particularly pertinent to musicology in both Ukraine and…

THE LUTSK OPERA STUDIO AS A UNIQUE PHENOMENON OF AMATEUR CREATIVITY IN THE MIDTWENTIETH CENTURY: REGIONAL STUDIES
type: item
description: Relevance of the problem. Contemporary Ukrainian musicology is increasingly incorporating regional studies into its research. This is quite natural. After all, Ukrainian musical culture, having gone through a difficult formation process, paid great attention to amateur creativity, which became a powerful foundation for the development of Ukrainian academic music. Amateurism flourished in Ukraine, with its distinct regional characteristics. Scientific novelty. This article is the first to present informational material highlighting the history of the creation and creative activity of an opera studio, an unprecedented phenomenon of amateur art, that was established at the City House of Culture in Lutsk in the mid-twentieth century. It is important to note that this phenomenon is unique because there has never been an opera infrastructure in the Volyn region. All of the studio's activities were based on its members' high level of enthusiasm and passion. Additionally, the political situation in the country was tense, so the studio members had to consider it. Party censors were particularly strict about the center's repertoire policy, especially regarding operas by Ukrainian composers. Conclusions. The opera studio successfully produced ten opera productions from the classical repertoire. The following are notable: «Rigoletto» and «La Traviata» by Verdi, «La Dolce Vita» by Mascagni, and so on. The students' notable achievement was staging opera performances by Ukrainian composers, including: «Kateryna» by M. Arkas, «Cossack Beyond the Danube» by S. Hulak-Artemovsky, and «Forest Song» by V. Kyreiko.

THE JOURNAL UKRAINIAN THEATRE AS A MIRROR OF FESTIVAL LIFE IN THE UKRAINIAN SSR : CRITICAL DISCOURSE OF THE 1970–1980 s
type: item
description: Between 1970 and 1990, the Ukrainian theatre journal Ukrainskyi Teatr published 40 articles related to theatre festivals, with only half offering in-depth analysis. A noticeable increase in coverage occurred after 1980. The content reflected not just artistic developments but also the role of festivals in Soviet cultural policy, which emphasized ideological education and international socialist solidarity. Festivals were organized primarily by state institutions such as the Ministry of Culture of the Ukrainian SSR and the Ukrainian Theatre Society. They were categorized into several types: festivals of national dramaturgy, republican and all-Union festivals celebrating Soviet anniversaries, international festivals (mostly within the socialist bloc), and events focused on specific genres like puppetry or youth theatre. Puppet theatre festivals, perceived as ideologically «safer», received relatively greater international exposure and media coverage. The journal highlighted Ukrainian participation in major international festivals, such as the Avignon Festival in France, the UNIMA puppet theatre congresses, and the Festival of the Nations in Nancy. Reviews often praised the artistic diversity and intercultural dialogue present at these events. Articles featured first-hand reports from directors and critics, such as S. Danchenko, Y. Bohdashevsky, A. Poliakov, H. Sherman analyzing trends in contemporary theatre, innovative staging techniques, and the public9s response. Despite travel restrictions, Soviet theatre professionals increasingly participated in international events during the 1980 s. This reflected a gradual easing of ideological control and growing interest in showcasing Soviet artistic achievements abroad. These festivals served as both a stage for cultural diplomacy and a platform for creative experimentation.

ROSETTE GERDAN AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EURASIAN MIGRATION PROCESSES OF GLASS JEWELLERY
type: item
description: The article examines the genesis of the rosette gerdan breast ornament, searching for the origins of the form, the ways of migration and its use on the territory of Ukraine. The analysis of the etymology of the name «gerdan» (Burkic. «gerden» 3 neck) has revealed the primary location of the decoration, which is associated with the Central Asian cultural region. In Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, a common piece of jewellery is the zebi-gardon (Burkic for «chest jewellery»). The similarity of the artistic features of the gerdan and zebi-gardon allowed us to put forward a hypothesis about the Turkic origins of the compositional solution of Ukrainian jewellery. After all, by the 15 th century, the time of the Ottomans' active expansion into Ukraine, jewellery of a different design, such as the hryvnia and monisto, was widespread. A review of the historical contacts of Turkic peoples has revealed the routes of migration of the gerdan caused by the spread of the Ottoman Empire's power from the late 15th to the 17 th century to the southwestern part of Ukraine, as well as Moldova and Romania. The territory of the original location from which the rosette gerdan form spread was identified: Podillia, Pokuttya, Southern Hutsulshchyna, Bukovyna (Vinnytsia, the centre and south of Khmelnytskyi, southern Ternopil, southern Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernivtsi regions). On the basis of the analysis of Eurasian contacts, the hypothesis of the appearance of the rosette gerdan on the territory of Ukraine in the 18 th century is proved. It has been found that the origin of the men's basma gerdan has archaic Asian roots, as a derivative of the Turkic bais0 («imprint») 3 a lexeme for a letter of trust, a symbol of power of the Tatar-Mongol khans of the 13 th-15 th centuries. The author proposes the concept of gerdan decoration as a multicultural object, in which archaic local traditions of creating coloured glass decorations have absorbed Turkic linguistic and artistic and constructi…

THE ART OF DANCE AS A TRANSLATOR OF CULTURAL MEMORY IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE
type: item
description: The aim of the article is to investigate the artistic and aesthetic possibilities of choreographic art in its ability to structure and reproduce cultural memory in Ukraine at the present stage. The methodological basis of the investigation is an art history and cultural studies approach. Within this approach, methods of semiotic, comparative, and historical-genetic analysis were used. Results. The connection between dance art and cultural memory is demonstrated. Cultural memory is characterised as a set of carriers and practices for reproducing national identity in a community. It is emphasised that art has the ability to preserve and interpret cultural memory in artistic images over a long period of time. It is noted that cultural memory and national identity in dance art are represented at different levels through musical and rhythmic images and means of choreographic expression. It is noted that the differences are due to the peculiarities of the trends and conditions of formation in the Soviet period. Ideological control over the training of future specialists and the repertoire of creative groups led to the deformation of Ukrainian imagery, but it contributed to the preservation of cultural memory. The artistic and conceptual possibilities of classical, folk, ballroom and contemporary choreography are demonstrated, the differences between which are determined by the variability of the use of Ukrainian material and the nearness to contemporary events, which ensures the formation of the cultural memory of the Ukrainian nation. Due to the globalised and digitalised world, a universal choreographic vocabulary contributes to Ukraine9s representation in the international context. At the same time, reliance on classical and contemporary Ukrainian material corresponds to the processes of nation building in Ukraine. Scientific novelty lies in the investigation of the artistic representation of cultural memory using the example of choreography and art education in the fi…

ART ON THE FRONT LINE : VISUAL CULTURE OF WAR AND THE IMAGE OF VICTORY IN UKRAINIAN ART DISCOURSE 2022-2024
type: item
description: The article is devoted to the study of the transformation of visual culture in Ukraine under the influence of the fullscale russian invasion in the period 2022-2024. The purpose of the study is to analyze the reflection of war in various forms of visual art and trace the process of forming the image of victory in the Ukrainian art discourse. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive approach, which includes: analysis of scientific publications on the theory of visual culture and art history, dedicated to the study of the impact of war on art; content analysis of visual materials presented at exhibitions, in social networks and media, reflecting the Russian-Ukrainian war; analysis of interviews with artists and curators of art projects (partially presented in the text of the article); synthesis and interpretation of the data obtained to identify the main trends and patterns in the formation of the image of victory. The results of the study demonstrate the significant impact of the war on Ukrainian visual culture, which was manifested in: the intensification of documentary recording of war crimes and humanitarian catastrophe; the use of art as a means of therapy and understanding of traumatic experience; the evolution of the image of victory from heroic resistance to a reflexive understanding of the price of freedom and the need for restoration; the active use of digital technologies and social networks to spread visual culture and cultural resistance; the shift of the thematic focus to issues of national identity, heroism and struggle; the emergence of new iconographic images of heroes and memorial practices (murals). The study revealed that the image of victory is dynamic and includes not only the liberation of territories, but also the mental restoration and affirmation of Ukrainian identity. The novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of the visual culture of Ukraine in the conditions of a full-scale war of 2022-2024, the identification …

INTERNATIONAL MUSIC COMPETITIONS AND FESTIVALS IN CHINA: CURRENT STATE AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS
type: item
description: Formulation of the problem. The article comprehensively examines the current state and prospects of China's key international music festivals and competitions, with a focus on their role in the development of cultural diplomacy, support for young talent, and China's integration into the global music space. Artistic events in the field of classical music, jazz, rock, and popular music are highlighted, emphasising their dynamics, scale, and international significance. It is noted that artistic practices of the international level enrich the cultural life of the Chinese people, contribute to the inheritance and development of traditional culture through the integration of professional and amateur art. The research methodology necessitates the use of an interdisciplinary approach that takes into account the specifics of various fields of modern humanitarian knowledge. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the attempt to bring new information to the scientific field on the current state and functioning of international music competitions and festivals in China. In recent years, Chinese music has also been influenced by Western styles, leading to the emergence of a vibrant contemporary music scene in China. Among them is the gradual introduction of the Chinese society, which was historically closed to the outside world, to the European traditions of academic musical culture and, in particular, to the instrumentation. Results.Thus, the development and functioning of international music competitions and festivals in China is a multicultural sociocultural phenomenon and a vivid reflection of the cultural and artistic processes of our time. It is proved that the disclosure and understanding of certain aspects of the socio-cultural space of China on the example of well-known international music competitions and festivals is extremely relevant in the present period.

CREATIVE CITATION OR PLAGIARISM? ON THE ISSUE OF ARTISTIC ORIGINALITY IN ART EDUCATION
type: item
description: Topicality. Plagiarism in the field of art is the use of someone else's ideas, compositions, stylistics, or even elements of a work without citing the author or obtaining appropriate permissions, a problem that is increasingly difficult to deal with in educational institutions of artistic direction. Copying, using the concepts of other artists without transformation or presenting them as one's own is happening more and more often. The purpose of the article is to consider the problem of plagiarism in fine arts, copyright, analyze tracking and possible ways to eliminate cases. The research methodology is complex and determined by the goal of the article. In the research process, the methods of analysis and synthesis were used, which were applied to consider the theoretical foundations, the comparative method, which was aimed at identifying various aspects of understanding the cause of the problem, as well as the methods of abstraction, generalization, and specification. Scientific novelty consists in making an attempt to reveal the above-mentioned problem. The work considers the most significant methods and ways of overcoming it. It is emphasized that visual art owes the initial development of creative plagiarism to mass enthusiasm for networks and applications for artists, although it is known that creative plagiarism took place in the distant times of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Over the past few years, the number of works created by artificial intelligence, based on the work of famous artists, has increased. Works of this kind appear more and more often as original works of artists. This phenomenon is especially common among student youth. Stopping and identifying the flow of plagiarism is becoming more and more difficult, and it often becomes a problem for academic supervisors and teachers of art educational institutions. The conclusions state that the problem of creative plagiarism in fine arts remains unresolved, despite numerous attempts to resolve th…

EMOTIONAL AND COMMUNICATIVE ENVIRONMENT OF BRAND IDENTITY OF HOSPITALITY ESTABLISHMENTS
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the main emotional and communicative components of the environment that affect the brand identity of a hospitality establishment. Research methodology. The study used an interdisciplinary methodology based on the integration of scientific approaches from cultural studies, psychology, and socio-cultural management. A number of general scientific methods were applied: analysis, synthesis, generalization, etc. Novelty. For the first time in Ukrainian cultural studies, a study of the brand identification of hospitality establishments is proposed, based on the importance of the emotional and communicative component in their management. Results. Companies in the hospitality sector face strong competition, in which differentiation becomes a key element of success. In such a scenario, the role of brands becomes vital, a determining factor that goes beyond the simple definition of an establishment. A key element of successful branding of hospitality establishments is emotional and communication identification, which contributes to the formation of a unique image, increasing customer loyalty and creating a competitive advantage in the market. Therefore, hospitality establishments should focus on creating a positive emotional communication experience that remains in the memory of customers. This is achieved through high-quality service, atmosphere, design, an individualized approach to the needs of guests, the use of emotional tools in marketing, such as storytelling, visual communications, sound and sensory elements that evoke a sense of authenticity and attachment to th e brand in customers. The use of social networks, online platforms and virtual tours allows hospitality establishments to strengthen the emotional connection with customers, expand the audience, strengthen their reputation, and ensure sustainable development in the long term.

DIGITAL CULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION : CHANGING IDENTITY AND CULTURAL PRACTICES IN UKRAINIAN SOCIETY
type: item
description: The article examines digital culture as a key socio-cultural phenomenon shaped by globalization processes. The author (s) emphasize that digital culture is not only the result of the integration of technological innovations into everyday life, but also actively influences the change in models of communication, thinking, identity, and cultural interaction. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the factors that contributed to the development of digital culture, including technological breakthroughs, mediatization, the information revolution, the COVID-19 pandemic, and generational shifts. The study emphasizes the dual nature of digital culture as a means of global cultural unification and, at the same time, a challenge to preserve local authenticity. Examples of hybrid identities formed in Ukrainian society through interaction with global digital platforms are given. The author analyzes the impact of global digital corporations on cultural norms of interaction, as well as the importance of social media as a tool for self-expression, creativity, and cultural resistance. In the context of Ukraine, digital culture is seen as an important element of social transformation, which has been especially intensified in the context of military aggression, information attacks, and social instability. The article shows how Ukrainian society is adapting to global changes while building a national digital identity. The article provides statistics on the use of the Internet, social networks, the state of digital education, the development of creative industries, and the digital economy. The emphasis is placed on the transition of the Ukrainian audience to the consumption of Ukrainianlanguage digital content, which has become a form of cultural resistance and identity restoration.

THE METHODOLOGY OF CINEMATOGRAPHIC LIGHTING ON A LIMITED BUDGET
type: item
description: The aim of this article is to analyze methodological approaches to the organization of cinematic lighting in a limited budget and identifying practical solutions for the effective formation of artistic space, the emotional tone of the scene and the visual style of the film with minimal resources. Research methodology. The paper uses methods of theoretical analysis, comparative review, case-stud, as well as generalization of practical experience of independent filmmakers. Various options for using natural and artificial lighting, low-key lighting methods, methods of combining light sources, as well as planning lighting solutions at the pre-production stage were analyzed. Results. It is established that low-budget projects can achieve a high artistic result due to the use of natural light, low-power LED panels and improvised materials. It offers optimization of technical equipment and use of low-key lighting to reduce costs. The psychological impact of lighting on the viewer and ways to control the emotional perception of the scene are determined. Promising directions for further research are also outlined – the integration of virtual studios, mobile applications for controlling light and the development of innovative technologies for nonstandard shooting conditions. Also the results of the study proved the feasibility of a creative approach to organizing cinematic lighting with limited resources. A rational combination of available technical means and thoughtful light planning allows you to create a high-quality cinematic product without significant costs. The scientific novelty of the study is the systematization of practical methods of economical cinematic lighting, adaptation of classical lighting schemes to the conditions of modern low-budget production and substantiation of the psychological impact of light decisions on the emotional perception of the viewer. The practical significance. The possibility of direct application by independent filmmakers and students…

MUSEUMS IN THE SYSTEM OF HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL ADULT EDUCATION : PROBLEMS OF SOCIAL MISSION AND PROFILING
type: item
description: The purpose of the publication: to consider the specifics of public purpose and determination of the profile of museums in the system of higher pedagogical adult education (institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education). Research Methodology. Based on a case study of the «Education of Vinnytsia Region» museum at the Vinnytsia Academy of Continuing Education, the study investigates the features of museum functioning within specialized adult education institutions. Results. The scientific-research function of museums in the system of adult higher pedagogical education is diminishing, as adult students aim to improve their qualifications mainly in subject competencies; therefore, the informational potential of the museum is more often used in an applied context. The educational component of museums, which is generally important in pedagogical education, is also losing its relevance, since the creation of auxiliary materials for the museum a priori is not a priority for adult students. Instead, the importance of museums as representative units capable of showcasing the past and present of the educational institution and the educational environment is increasing. And depending on the mission and vision of the museum it is possible to form it mostly as either pedagogical or historical. However, this does not exclude the existence of a museum with another profile, depending on the available collections. Novelty. First, the experience of the «Education of Vinnytsia Region» museum at the Vinnytsia Academy of Continuing Education is analyzed. Second, the specifics of the functioning of museums in the higher pedagogical education system for adults are considered. Third, the representative functions of museums in modern higher education institutions are recognized. The practical significance. Self-determination of the public purpose of the museum and its profile will help to use the material resources of the higher education institution for the future development of such str…

GLOCALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF MUSEUM ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to highlight the processes of the Ukrainian museology development in the conditions of coexistence of multidirectional trends of unification of socio-cultural life, museum forms and activities, on the one hand, and articulating the content of national heritage, regional history, and culture by museum means, on the other hand. The scientific novelty of the study concerns the comprehensive analysis of the processes of globalization and localization, which, in their interpenetration and combination, determine the development of the modern museum world, in general, and Ukrainian museology, in particular. Research methodology. In the article, glocalization in the development of museum activity in Ukraine in the first decades of the 21st century is considered based on functional, comparative, and comprehensive approaches, a set of general scientific and special methods. Conclusions. Globalization has a dual impact on the development of museum work in Ukraine. On the one hand, it contributes to the homogenization and hybridization of museum activities, cultural exchange, and enrichment, and on the other hand, it gives rise to localization processes based on the preservation, presentation, and popularization of the unique national cultural heritage. Digital transformations have opened up great opportunities for the integration of Ukrainian museums into the international information space. Diversification of institutional models of museum institutions (interactive museums, museum-type institutions, private museums, economic museums, narrowly profiled, specialized local museums) and types of museum activity allows Ukraine to implement the best foreign practices of cooperation with the audience and, at the same time, implement the policy of preserving and updating national and regional heritage. Globalization processes have stimulated a more active inclusion of museums in the tourism industry, deepening international museum cooperation. By expandi…

THE OVERTOURISM MANIFESTATIONS AND MUSEUMS : IDENTIFYING THREATS AND PREVENTING THEM
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to research the coexistence of various phenomena of overtourism and museum institutions. In order to achieve this goal, two tasks can be distinguished from it: 1) to determine which phenomena of overtourism threaten museums and their activities; 2) to establish how museums can address these threats through active or passive actions. Research methods. To obtain objective scientific data, a complex of necessary scientific research methods was used. The method of inductive generalisation allowed us to identify common features and signs from the disparate (chronologically, territorially, typologically) facts of anti-tourist protests. Cases of collision between Ukrainian cultural institutions were studied using general scientific methods of analysis and abstraction: each incident was divided into several components (place and conditions of the conflict, its intensity, accusations and responses to them). Further, the necessary information was extracted by abstraction, including the reaction of cultural institutions to the manifestations of excessive tourism. To study the facts of museums' prevention of overtourism, the author used the method of synthesis. This allowed us to identify the state's assistance to museums. Results. It was found that the manifestations of excessive tourism have not only economic but also socio-cultural reasons. This makes it possible to consider museums as one of the places where the interests of the local community are represented, its contact with the conditional 8outside world9 and a 8fuse9 against the manifestations of overtourism. It has not been possible to establish whether museums can fulfil this role on their own 3 without the help of the state. The scientific novelty is that it has been shown that museums have the potential to occupy a special place and play a prominent role in attempts to overcome the manifestations of overtourism. It also further develops the argument that it is not always appropriate to…

EXHIBITION AS A FORM OF CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL INTERACTION WITH THE COMMUNITY : ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE PROJECT «OURS/OTHERS. STORIES ABOUT...»
type: item
description: The article analyzes the changing role of museum exhibitions in modern society 3 from the traditional way of displaying collections to an interactive platform for cultural and educational interaction. The authors emphasize the growing importance of emotional experience, personal narratives, and audience involvement in the process of cognition and comprehension of socio-cultural concepts. The challenges faced by curators in meeting the needs of multi-age, socially and culturally heterogeneous groups of visitors are outlined. In this context, the experience of implementing the exhibition project «Ours/Stranger's. Stories about...» by the Volyn Museum of Local Lore as an example of a curatorial approach: from idea to implementation. The project was aimed at creating an open space for dialogue, reflection, and identification through the understanding of the concepts of «friend» and «foe» in different contexts: local, national, and personal dimensions. Through the use of interactive methods (improv theater, quests, quizzes, game elements for groups of children, families, and individual visitors), as well as the active use of digital communications (social media, video promotion), the project contributed to a deeper emotional engagement of visitors. The study confirms the potential of a museum exhibition as an important tool for cultural dialogue and civic participation.

CHANGING MEDIA CONSUMPTION PRACTICES IN UKRAINE : FROM TRADITIONAL TO DIGITAL
type: item
description: The aim of this article is to examine the evolution of media consumption practices in Ukraine from traditional statecontrolled formats to a diverse digital media environment. The study aims to identify the key historical, political, and technological factors that have shaped these changes, with a particular focus on the role of media during pivotal socio-political events such as the Revolution of Dignity, the annexation of Crimea, and the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. Research methodology. The article is based on a qualitative analysis of open-source materials, including academic publications, expert reports, media analytics, and statistical data. More than twelve relevant sources were reviewed, encompassing cultural research, digital media studies, public statistics, and media literacy programmes. Historical contextualisation and comparative analysis are employed to trace long-term shifts in Ukrainian media behaviour. Results. The research identifies several stages in the transformation of media consumption in Ukraine: from the centralised media of the Soviet era to the liberalisation of the 1990 s, the commercialisation of the 2000 s, and the digitalisation intensified by military conflict and crisis. The study demonstrates how digital platforms 3 especially social media and messaging apps 3 have become crucial tools for communication, news, and civic mobilisation. A generational gap in media preferences is highlighted: older audiences continue to rely on television and print media, while younger users engage with interactive and mobile formats. The study also documents the decline of regional media outlets and the emergence of new forms of user-generated journalism. Novelty of the article lies in its integrated approach to analysing Ukrainian media consumption as both a technological and socio-cultural phenomenon. It highlights how war, crisis, and digital infrastructure jointly reconfigure the media environment, and how media platforms shape patterns of p…

AI IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY : TRANSFORMING CREATIVE PROCESSES
type: item
description: Purpose of the study. This article aims to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming creative processes within the modern music industry and to analyze the cultural implications of human3machine co-creativity. The study investigates how AI technologies redefine traditional notions of musical authorship, aesthetics, and emotional expressivity, offering new models of collaboration between human artists and algorithmic systems. Research methods. The research is based on an interdisciplinary methodological framework that integrates cultural analysis, aesthetic criticism, and comparative techniques. The study also employs a critical review of relevant academic literature and explores contemporary examples of AI-assisted music production, including models such as Music Transformer, WaveNet Autoencoder, and generative platforms like AIVA and Flow Machines. The study further draws on empirical cases from the AI Song Contest and other hybrid collaborative practices. Results. The findings reveal that artificial intelligence has become more than a tool; it acts as an autonomous agent capable of generating structurally complex, harmonically rich, and stylistically nuanced compositions. AI9s ability to process massive musical datasets and generate outputs based on learned stylistic models enables unprecedented creative experimentation. However, the increasing algorithmization of musical creativity also raises a set of cultural and ethical concerns-particularly regarding authorship, authenticity, and the preservation of artistic individuality in the face of machine-led standardization. Existing scholarship remains fragmented, often lacking a comprehensive cultural perspective on the implications of AI in music. Scientific novelty. This article contributes to the growing body of cultural research on AI by proposing a critical rethinking of creativity as a hybrid, co-constructed process. It is one of the first Ukrainian academic contributions to frame AI not …

INTEGRATING DIGITAL HERITAGE INTO EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE : OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
type: item
description: Background. The ongoing digital transformation of society is reshaping both the preservation of heritage and the practices of education. Digitized cultural heritage includes virtual museums, 3D reconstructions, gamified platforms, and online archives. These tools introduce new ways to engage with the past by enhancing access to heritage resources and enabling dynamic learning environments that support interpretive depth and inclusive participation. Education provides a key platform for integrating and evaluating these developments. Objective. To investigate how digitized heritage materials can be meaningfully incorporated into educational settings, and to assess their pedagogical value, implementation challenges, and ethical implications. Methods. The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of education, digital humanities, and heritage studies. Methods include critical literature review, interpretive analysis, and comparative reflection on current practices. Particular attention is given to immersive learning technologies, hybrid instructional formats, and teacher readiness. Results. Digitized heritage expands access to learning for diverse and remote audiences, fosters critical engagement with historical narratives, and supports multimodal, student-centered approaches. These formats support experiential exploration and critical learner engagement with historical content. However, they are only effective when supported by infrastructure, teacher training, and an awareness of representational ethics. The findings underscore the importance of balancing digital and traditional approaches, especially in heritage education, where historical context and plural interpretation are essential.

FUNCTIONING OF CULTURE CLUB INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE MODERN LEGAL FIELD
type: item
description: The urgency of the problem. In the conditions of reforming the legal system of Ukraine, decentralization and integration into the European space, club institutions are faced with the challenges of insufficient funding, outdated material and technical base and unregulated aspects of some activities. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the legislation to ensure the stable operation of these institutions, increase their social role and adapt to modern cultural and legal realities. The research methodology is based on the application of a systemic approach and a set of the following methods: comparative, analytical, cultural 3 for comprehensive coverage of the outlined issues and the formulation of substantiated conclusions. The scientific novelty consists in a comprehensive analysis of the modern legal field of the functioning of cultural club institutions in Ukraine, taking into account the latest legislative changes and reforms. Conclusions. The functioning of club establishments is based on a broad regulatory and legal basis. At the same time, it is worth noting that certain normative acts need to be updated, they are outdated. Thus, the norms of providing the population with cultural institutions, which are mainly clubs and libraries, were approved back in 1998. The issue of financing club institutions of communal form of ownership also needs improvement. Shifting the maintenance of cultural institutions to local budgets does not always yield positive results. We believe that certain binding factors for local authorities are needed: a clear definition of the share of funds from local communities that should go to support the activities of club institutions. Today, the activities of many institutions of culture and art are regulated by separate laws. The absence of a law regarding club institutions blurs and diminishes their socio-cultural significance, making them secondary among other institutions of the industry, despite their powerful…

CULTURAL AND ARTS INSTITUTIONS : INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT, CULTURAL PRACTICES AND CREATIVE FORMS OF LEISURE
type: item
description: This paper aims to investigate innovative approaches to the management of cultural and artistic institutions in Ukraine, analyze existing cultural practices, and identify promising creative forms of leisure within the context of contemporary socio-economic transformations. The study seeks to determine the potential of culture as an effective tool for overcoming crisis phenomena, stimulating socio-economic growth at the local level, and ensuring diverse and meaningful leisure activities for citizens. The methodology of this research, focused on exploring innovative management approaches for cultural and artistic institutions, analyzing cultural practices, and creative forms of leisure, is determined by the stated aim and is based on a comprehensive application of several scientific methods. Specifically, the descriptive method was employed to examine the specifics and characteristics of existing management models, cultural, and leisure practices in cultural institutions. Empirical research methods, such as observing processes within cultural institutions and comparing different management models and forms of activity, provided data for analysis. The application of the systemic method ensured a holistic understanding of the interrelationship between various elements of management, cultural offerings, and forms of leisure. The generalization method facilitated the formulation of conclusions regarding effective innovative strategies and promising directions for the development of cultural and artistic institutions. Results. The findings of the study highlight the dominant role of local communities in the management of the majority of cultural institutions in Ukraine, which forms an important basis for the effective implementation of cultural policy at the regional level and the consideration of local specificities. While decentralized management fosters greater community involvement in cultural life and more targeted use of local budget funds, the paper identifies a num…

MUSEUMS OF THE HUTSUL REGION AS A MEANS AND FORM OF PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
type: item
description: The article comprehensively covers the functioning of Hutsul museums as centers of preservation and popularization of the unique culture of the Ukrainian Carpathians. The leading museum institutions of the region representing folk art, traditions, life, spirituality and crafts of the Hutsuls are analyzed. Their contribution to the formation of national identity and the development of ethnographic tourism is noted. It is proved that, despite the difficult realities of today in Ukraine, the museums of the Hutsul region contribute to the preservation and popularization of traditional folk culture, educating a new generation of Ukrainians on the basis of national traditions. Museums of the Hutsul region are not only repositories of material and spiritual culture, they help to preserve artifacts, art, documents and other objects that illustrate the history and culture of different peoples, contribute to the formation of historical memory, support folk crafts, tourism development and fostering respect for national heritage, play an important role that goes beyond the traditional preservation of artifacts, become active participants in cultural dialogue, contribute to the preservation of identity and create opportunities for a deeper understanding of our roots. Some museums in the Carpathian region are introducing the latest technologies, creating interactive and educational exhibitions to better immerse themselves in the cultural context of the Carpathian exhibits, which undoubtedly contributes to a deeper understanding of the intangible heritage of the highlanders and provides a prospect for further research.

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive coverage of the multifaceted activities of Mykola Gubchuk, which combines artistic, organizational, volunteer and social dimensions. Research methodology. The work uses an interdisciplinary methodology that combines cultural analysis, biographical description, elements of comparative analysis, as well as an author's semi-structured interview. Results. Mykola Gubchuk's performing activity as an opera singer is evidenced by his performances on the opera stages of Ukraine and Europe. His managerial activity was manifested in the organization of the Kolomyia Philharmonic named after Oleksandr Kozarenko. M. Gubchuk9s public activity unfolded during the Russian-Ukrainian war as a volunteer. The singer9s concert activities are currently taking place abroad in order to draw attention to Ukraine and its fight against the enemy. Considerable attention is paid to the role of Mykola Gubchuk as an agent of cultural transformations during a difficult period for the country, in particular during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. An example of a person capable of harmoniously combining personal creative realization with an active civic position and useful social activities is given. Novelty.

FOLK SONG CULTURE AS A PHENOMENON OF CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
type: item
description: The purpose of this article is to outline folk song culture as a musical phenomenon in the context of culturological analysis, to identify its structural components, historical stages of formation and transformations, as well as its role in preserving ethnic identity through musical forms of expression. The methodology for studying folk song culture as a phenomenon of cultural knowledge is based on structuralfunctional, system-analytical, descriptive and comparative approaches, which provide a holistic understanding of folk song as a carrier of cultural memory and spiritual values of society. Results. In the process of studying folk song culture, it was established that it is a unique phenomenon that integrates musical, verbal, ritual, symbolic and mental components, forming a multidimensional system of ethnocultural existence. Folk song culture acts not only as a form of artistic self-expression of the people, but also as a mechanism for preserving and transmitting historical memory, spiritual values, ethical norms and models of world perception. It is an important factor in the formation of national identity, contributing to the awareness of belonging to the community and the preservation of cultural heritage. The novelty of the study lies in the culturological analysis of folk song culture as a factor in the formation of the national identity of Ukrainians. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using its results to preserve and popularize Ukrainian folk song culture in the modern cultural space. The research materials can be implemented in curricula in cultural studies, folklore, contributing to the formation of national identity and cultural self-awareness.

THE FIGURE OF VITALIY KULYKOV IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ARTISTIC CULTURE OF KHARKIV REGION IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY
type: item
description: This article explores the artistic and pedagogical work of Kharkiv-based artist Vitaliy Kulykov (1935-2015) in the context of sociocultural transformations that shaped the artistic landscape of the Kharkiv region from the second half of the 20 th to the early 21 st century. A comprehensive approach allowed for the identification of the specifics of his individual style, defined by the terms «geometric montage» and «portrait-mask». It was revealed that Kulykov was not only a prominent representative of the Kharkiv school of painting but also a reformer of art education, who infused structural drawing with features of academic thinking within the framework of the architectural school. The article is based on an analysis of sources from the last few decades, particularly publications by O. Shtok, V. Nemtsova, M. Ponomarenko, L. Smyrna, D. Klochko, and T. Luhovska, as well as materials from exhibition projects dedicated to Kharkiv art. The author substantiates the view of Kulykov9s unique position in Ukrainian visual culture as an artist who combined constructivism, intellectual reflection, and pedagogical innovation. His contribution to the development of visual resistance in the post-Soviet context and his significance for younger generations of artists are also examined. As a result, it is concluded that Kulykov represents a transitional epoch, whose legacy deserves broad academic attention in both the history of art and contemporary Ukrainian cultural identity.

RESEARCH ON INTERCULTURAL INTERACTION IN THE CONTEXT OF «OTHERNESS STUDIES» : UKRAINIAN AND INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES
type: item
description: The article explores the phenomenon of intercultural interaction within the framework of Otherness studies as a contemporary philosophical and humanitarian paradigm. Special attention is given to the analysis of both Ukrainian and Western scholarly approaches to the concept of the «"ther», focusing on its role in shaping cultural identity, educational policy, and social dialogue. The paper emphasizes that in the Ukrainian humanities discourse, the notion of otherness is actively developed in the context of post-Soviet transformations, national self-determination, and multiculturalism. The works of Ukrainian scholars such as M. Popovych, V. Andrushchenko, A. Yermolenko, and V. Sukovata are analyzed, where the «"ther» is interpreted as an ethical and sociocultural category crucial for intercultural harmony. The article also explores the impact of Otherness studies on educational policy, including Western models of intercultural competence (such as those by D. Deardorff and D. DiBenedetto) and Ukrainian initiatives for incorporating the principles of otherness into educational content. It is emphasized that the humanization of the educational process through Otherness studies approaches promotes empathy, tolerance, and dialogue with representatives of other cultures. A comparative analysis of Ukrainian and Western contexts of inshology reveals shared conceptual orientations (ethical attitude toward the other, openness to diversity) as well as specific national features. The conclusion highlights the relevance of Otherness studies as a tool for overcoming cultural barriers and creating an inclusive educational environment in the context of globalization.

AUTHORIAL DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING IN UKRAINE IN THE LATE 1980 TO EARLY 1990 s : BETWEEN POLITICAL AWAKENING AND NATIONAL IDENTITY
type: item
description: The article explores the transformation of Ukrainian documentary cinema during the late 1980 s to early 1990 s – an essential period marked by the collapse of Soviet ideological control and the rise of national consciousness. It focuses on the emergence of author documentary filmmaking as a response to newly accessible, previously suppressed subjects, including political repression, the Holodomor, Chornobyl, Ukrainian dissidence, and distorted historical narratives. A central feature of this transformation was the application of kino-pravda (film-truth) – a technique pioneered by Dziga Vertov – where subjective observation, minimal mediation, and immersion in real events replaced traditional propagandistic cliché. Films such as Steps of Democracy, July Thunderstorms, and Chornobyl: Chronicle of Difficult Weeks illustrate how Ukrainian filmmakers adopted these methods to reconstruct public memory and challenge official narratives. The article underscores the importance of documentary cinema not only as a medium of filming historical events but also as a powerful cultural instrument in constructing national identity. Through its capacity to interpret collective trauma, articulate suppressed voices, and reflect the evolving societal values of an emerging independent Ukraine, documentary film became a powerful tool for national self-definition. Future research should further examine the role of documentary cinema in constructing Ukrainian post-Soviet national narratives and its long-term influence on cultural memory and identity formation.

TRANSFORMATION OF INFORMATION CULTURE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS
type: item
description: The acceleration of technological innovations and digitalization necessitates a profound theoretical understanding of the transformation of information culture within the knowledge society. Purpose: This article analyzes the interplay between the knowledge society, information culture, and technological innovations. Methods: The research is based on conceptual analysis and the synthesis of scholarly literature from related humanities and social science disciplines. Results: The analysis reveals that technology not only provides tools but fundamentally changes the practices of knowledge creation, dissemination, and interpretation, strengthening the role of visual culture and algorithmic systems. Globalization of the information space creates conditions for both unprecedented access to information and the spread of manipulation and reinforcement of the digital divide. It was established that effective navigation in this environment requires developed competencies – not only basic information literacy but also critical media and visual literacy to counter disinformation and understand media effects. Key threats to information security at individual and societal levels arising in the digital environment, including data privacy and cybersecurity issues, were investigated. The dynamics of the modern information market were outlined, particularly issues of platform monopolization and their influence on shaping public opinion. It is argued that the resilience of information culture depends on society's ability to critically comprehend technological impacts and adapt social institutions by developing mechanisms for ethical reflection and responsible technology use. Practical Value: The results will contribute to the development of educational strategies and cultural policies for fostering an adaptive and critical information culture.

СПЕЦИФІКА АСИМІЛЯЦІЙНИХ ПРОЦЕСІВ У СЕРЕДОВИЩІ ВІРМЕН ПІВНІЧНОЇ БУКОВИНИ КІНЦЯ XVIII-ПЕРШОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ
type: item
description: Метою статті є виявлення основних моделей і шляхів етнокультурної асиміляції вірменських мігрантів Північної Буковини й частково Покуття з новим локальним соціокультурним середовищем. Методологія дослідження. У роботі використано базові наукові принцип та методи культурології, історії, філософії та соціології, зокрема, метод мікроісторії, компаративного аналізу та синтезу та історико-культурної реконструкції. Результати. З’ясовано, що дослідження стосовно регіональної / локальної специфіки асиміляційних процесів вірменських мігрантів на землях України відсутні. Доведено, що в соціокультурному середовищі вірмен Північної Буковини кінця XVIII – початку ХХ ст. суттєво посилилися асиміляційні процеси. Незважаючи на відчутне тяжіння вірмен до співвітчизників із країні походження або до їхніх нащадків, розмивання етнокультурного поля у вірмен у ХІХ ст. під впливом зовнішніх факторів стає помітним. Визначено, що основними чинниками, які найбільше вплинули на процес асиміляції, були історична динаміка політичної влади та характер внутрішньої міграційної політики урядів, позитивна компліментарність автохтонного українського населення, загальна мультикультурність соціального поля Північної Буковини тощо. Доведено, що основними шляхами полонізації та українізації були міжконфесійні шлюби, освіта та церква (зміна конфесії). Виявлено, що істотною відмінністю між процесом українізації вірмен і процесом асиміляції з поляками став тотальний характер рутенізації, в результаті якого вірмени ставали українцями з єдиною етнокультурною ідентичністю – українською, тоді як полонізовані вірмени мали подвійну ідентичність («польські вірмени»). У ХІХ-ХХ століттях чимало представників вірменської діаспори вже чітко демонстрували модифіковану/подвійну ідентичність: державну – польську/австрійську, а етнічну (історичну) – вірменську. Етнічна ідентичність тісно пов’язана з релігійно-міфологічною свідомістю та історичною культурною пам’яттю. Тоді як національна ідентичність визначається дискурсом…

MEMORY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROVENANCE IN POSTCOLONIAL DISCOURSE: AN ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE ON J. BACH9S APPROACH
type: item
description: The article examines postcolonial narratives conveyed through memory infrastructure and provenance research, practices actively implemented in Germany. It highlights the significant contribution of J. Bach, who conceptualizes historical memory as both a moral and political phenomenon and identifies provenance research as a fundamental tool for uncovering the essence of colonial discourse. In his works, Bach explores how the German government creates a memory infrastructure that addresses the Nazi and colonial past and analyzes public reflections within the dichotomies of «activists-government», «colony-metropole» and «colonial past3 postcolonial narratives», focusing on the issues of responsibility, acknowledgment of guilt, reconciliation, and trauma. Bach proposes reinterpreting the provenance research method as a «moral paradigm» in cultural and political practice, viewing artifacts as historical witnesses that expose violence and compel the recognition of guilt and responsibility. In the Ukrainian context, provenance research is not seen as an act of repentance or atonement but as an instrument for defending national cultural heritage, preserving memory, and documenting evidence of colonial and wartime violence.

ALEKSANDER BRÜCKNER AND THE JOURNAL «LUD»: A HISTORY OF COLLABORATION
type: item
description: The proposed article aims to bring to light a lesser-known aspect of the collaboration between the PolishGerman Slavist and the Ethnographic Society in Ukrainian scholarly circles. The research methodology is determined by the purpose of the article and is based mainly on a complex of methods of textual analysis, such as content analysis and hermeneutics. Since the subject of the study is Aleksander Brückner's publications, considerable attention is paid to the reconstruction of the details of the scientist's biography related to the Ethnographic Society. In this context, the biographical method was applied. Results. The Ethnographic Society in Lviv, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, established itself as a prominent center of ethnographic studies of a pan-European scale. The society's primary publication, the journal «Lud», played a significant role in publicizing its activities. One of the founders of European Slavic studies, Professor Aleksander Brückner of the Friedrich Wilhelm University, was an active member of the Ethnographic Society and a regular contributor to the journal «Lud». During the first quarter of the 20 th century, no fewer than ten articles by Brückner, mostly reviews, appeared in the ethnographic journal. The author emphasizes that Brückner's review publications are an underestimated source in the history of ethnographic science, as well as in the fields of cultural history, Slavic studies, and comparative linguistics. A distinctive feature of Brückner's reviews is their encyclopedic nature, polemical style, and the presence of a research component even in relatively short notes. Within the scope of a single publication, it is challenging to cover the entire body of work of Aleksander Brückner presented in the journal «Lud». However, the article attempts to highlight aspects such as Brückner's general reception of the Ethnographic Society's activities, his assessments of the state of ethnographic studies in Central and Eastern Europe,…

Nizhankivska9s publications; descriptive analysis 3 to highlight the thematic and content-related content of the articles; biographical analysis 3 to represent the little-known pages of the artistic personality of Eastern Galicia; systematisation 3 to summarise the results of the research and formulate conclusions. Novelty. Based on the scientific research conducted, an analysis of the little-known publications of Melania Nyzhankivska from the Lviv period of her life in the 1930s was carried out for the first time. It has been proven that these press materials record the unique sociocultural events of that period. The newspaper reviews in the pages of the magazine «Dilo» were examined, which covered the activities of the women9s society «Soiuz Ukrainok» («Union of Ukrainian Women»), artistic events in the field of choreography, and the achievements of young musicians in the field of education. The journalistic content is analysed, shedding light on concert programmes featuring prominent Ukrainian artists and musicians, as well as their repertoire. The practical significance. The article will serve as a valuable basis for research in the field of the historical past of Eastern Galicia and musical journalism of the 20th century.

THE AESTHETICS OF LOSS : TRANSFORMATIONS OF MEMORIAL SPACE IN VISUAL ART AND DESIGN OF THE 20 TH–21 ST CENTURIES
type: item
description: The article explores the transformation of memorial space within visual art and architectural design of the 20 th321 st centuries. It traces the evolution of artistic and design strategies 3 from sacred polycentric structures of antiquity and the monumental forms of modernism to contemporary conceptual interpretations grounded in principles of minimalism, embodiment, affect, and materiality. The study emphasizes a shift in the semantic focus: from heroic rhetoric to personalized mourning, from figurative representation to abstract conceptuality, and from representation to empathetic engagement. Memorials are reinterpreted as spaces of co-presence rather than narrative delivery, with architecture functioning as a visual and spatial mediator of memory. Notable examples of postmemorial architecture are examined, including the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin by Peter Eisenman, the 9/11 Memorial in New York by Michael Arad, and the Jewish Museum in Berlin by Daniel Libeskind. These projects embody a design language of ethical silence and traumatic presence through spatial voids, monochrome surfaces, and the absence of literal imagery. The memorial becomes a performative environment rather than an illustrative object, evoking reflection and emotional intensity. Particular attention is devoted to the Ukrainian context after 2014. The article investigates a significant cultural shift in commemorative practices, conditioned by the experience of war, processes of decommunization, and the rise of grassroots initiatives. Examples include the Memorial to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred in Lviv, the Wall of Remembrance in Kyiv, and newly created memorials in Bucha and Irpin. These cases demonstrate a move toward ethical, affectively charged, yet restrained memorial forms that reject triumphalist narratives in favor of dignity and silence. The research defines conceptual foundations for designing Ukraine9s future Mars Field 3 a space of national conscience and moral presence under…

METHODOLOGY OF CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION IN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: Design is evolving beyond its traditional functional and aesthetic roles toward an integrative, interdisciplinary practice in the context of accelerating technological development, sociocultural complexity, and the globalization of creative industries. This transformation foregrounds the need for structured conceptual thinking and strategic foresight from the earliest stages of the design process. This article addresses the methodological gap in the organization of conceptual search in design, arguing for a systematic approach that unifies cognitive, cultural, communicative, and innovative components of creative ideation. While existing practices often rely on intuitive and fragmented methods, this research proposes a comprehensive framework that enhances the originality and applicability of design solutions across complex environments. The study outlines the theoretical foundations and practical modeling of a methodology for conceptual search. It can be adaptable to diverse design contexts. Emphasis is placed on the conceptual tools – such as moodboards, stakeholder maps, associative arrays, and conceptual maps – in guiding the transition from abstract ideation to coherent design vision. The methodology is presented like a multi-stage process encompassing analytical, generative, and structural phases, each supported by distinct methods and visual instruments. Drawing upon recent interdisciplinary research, including the integration of artificial intelligence and speculative design, this work contributes to a more rigorous and pedagogically viable model for concept generation in the development. Ultimately, the proposed methodology supports the formation of critical thinking, project culture, and professional identity among future design practitioners, addressing current demands for innovation and responsiveness in design education and practice.

KEY POSITIONS OF SEMIOTICS IN SHAPING PROFESSIONAL IMAGE THROUGH COSTUME
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to analyse the main positions of semiotics in revealing the stylistic and image characteristics of clothing in the context of professional image formation. Methodology: the study used biographical and historical-chronological methods, as well as methods of figurative-stylistic and formal analysis of costume samples and photographic materials. Results. The article highlights the symbolic-semiotic and image characteristics of clothing. Using the example of Winston Churchill's image, it shows the evolution of individual style in the context of the importance of a politician's image. It is emphasised that the development of clothing is dependent on general anthropogenesis, in particular the evolution of material and spiritual culture. The degree of development of society and the state was directly and indirectly present in the design, aesthetics, culture and philosophy of the suit. It has been established that considering the contexts of its emergence and existence makes it possible to objectively study its external (form) and internal (content) characteristics. Using the example of the evolution of Winston Churchill's style, it has been established that the main characteristics of the status of a costume are: material, its quality and type of modelling, colour, decoration, ornamentation, accessories (their number), footwear, and headwear. This determined the hierarchical position in society occupied by its owner. In addition to its narrowly utilitarian (protective) function, a suit also performs representative, communicative, and artistic-aesthetic functions, each of which includes sub-functions. The scientific novelty lies in the identified characteristics of the components of the individual style of the outstanding politician of the 20 th century, W. Churchill, taking into account the symbolic and semiotic nature of the suit. The sources of the study were photographic materials of public and informal images of W. Churchill and personal w…

INNOVATION AND EXPRESSION : THE CREATIVITY OF MYROSLAV VAIDA IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY ART
type: item
description: The purpose of this article is to analyze the artistic practice of Myroslav Vaida through the prism of innovative approaches and expressive techniques within the context of contemporary art. Special attention is given to examining how the artist’s methodology models new forms of audience interaction with visual images. The study also explores the philosophical and aesthetic dimensions of his artworks, which function as visual narratives of modernity. Research methodology. The research is based on a synthesis of phenomenological, hermeneutic, structuralsemiotic, and discourse-analytical methods. The study also incorporates comparative analysis and poststructuralist theories, including concepts of deconstruction and intertextuality, enabling the identification of deep connotations within Vaida’s work. This interdisciplinary approach allows a comprehensive understanding of the expressive and innovative aspects of his creative practice. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Myroslav Vaida’s work as a postconceptual transgressive phenomenon that combines metaphysical reflection with experimental material techniques. The research offers a multidimensional interpretation of Vaida’s installation and performative art as manifestations of aesthetic nomadism and post-anthropocentric artistic strategies. His work is presented as a unique synthesis of form and meaning that challenges traditional interpretative frameworks. The practical significance of the article lies in its contribution to the expansion of interdisciplinary discourse in contemporary art studies. The results may be of use for curators, art historians, and cultural researchers interested in postmedia art, performative practices, and the transformation of aesthetic paradigms. Vaida’s approach can serve as a model for analyzing innovative artistic strategies within the broader field of cultural theory and art science.

LANDSCAPE AS A SIGN OF SACRED SPACE : SEMIOTICS OF NATURE IN THE BYZANTINE ICONOGRAPHIC CANON
type: item
description: In this article, a comprehensive cultural study is conducted on the landscape as a visual component of the icons semiosphere. The author analyzes nature (physis) as an unstable and temporary phenomenon within the biblical worldview, which directly influenced the formation of the specific imagery of medieval icon painting. The landscape in the icon is viewed as a symbolic reflection of spiritual reality, expressing the idea of the fragility and impermanence of material Creation. Depictions of nature in iconography are based not on the principle of mimesis characteristic of ancient art, but on the attempt to convey hidden spiritual meanings through stylization and the conventionality of forms. The article is based on an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods of cultural studies, art history, and theology, allowing for a comprehensive examination of the sacred semiotics of natural imagery. The analysis covers a range of representative plots from the Byzantine iconographic canon, including «The Transfiguration of Christ», «The Prophet Elijah», «The Good Shepherd», «The Flight of the Holy Family into Egypt», and the genre of «visions» (e. g., «The Vision of Saint Eustathius Placidas»). Special attention is paid to the ways natural environments are stylized and to the symbolic meaning attached to these elements within the sacred visual language. The study emphasizes that landscape elements (rocks, trees, streams, depictions of animals, etc.) in iconography function not merely (or even primarily) as realistic objects but carry additional semantic meaning, acting as signs of higher spiritual truths and thus creating layers of meaning. Nature loses its autonomy and becomes part of the divine hierarchy of being. Specifically, the mountain symbolizes the place of divine revelation, the rock signifies the steadfastness of God's nature, water embodies purification and new life, and trees symbolize the Cross and salvation. Animals, such as the raven and the deer, appear as…

FORMATION IN THE «SMALL» 9SONATAS OF CHINESE COMPOSERS IN THE EARLY PERIODS OF THE GENRE DEVELOPMENT(ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SONATA FOR PIANO BY YANG LIXIN)
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is searching for of haracteristic signs of musical form Vn the «small» sonatas of the China composers that showed up during development of genre of sonata as such from appearance of him the first standards to the decline of this sort of works after 1966. Research methodology. The paper uses combined historical, analytical, comparative research methods. Results. Analysis of the musical form of Yang Liqin's Sonata indicates that this work has an original three-part form, in which the first part is a sonata allegro, the second is built on the principle of three-part, the third is in the form of a rondo, where one of the episodes is presented in the form of a theme with three «variations». A characteristic feature is the three-part structure at the heart of each part of the work. This is evidence of the composer's adherence to the rule of «tripleness», which has historically been established in the Chinese musical tradition. In Yang Liqin's Sonata, reprise, development and serial three-parts are clearly manifested. Evidence of adherence to the European tradition is the composer's use of the principle of development, which alternately repeats the melody, free imitation with the transposition of the melody to a fourth or fifth, etc. These and other features of form formation were also manifested in the Sonatas of this type by other composers. For example, Sonatina No.6 by Guo Zurong, which also presents a three-part form-making concept, where the first (fast) part embodies the form of a sonata allegro, the second (slow) 3 a simple three-part form, and the third (fast again) 3 a rondo form. The latter is similar to the rondo in Sonata No.4 by Jiang Wenye «Carnival Day», because it also closes the three-part composition. In addition, the rondo of all the named Sonatas has a noticeable homogeneous thematism and a clearly expressed, almost contrasting, texturedynamic dissimilarity between the refrain and episodes. This is explained by the genre-styl…

HARMONIC STASIS AS AN AESTHETIC PRINCIPLE IN THE MUSIC OF THE POSTMODERN ERA
type: item
description: The article explores harmonic stasis as an aesthetic paradigm of postmodern music, emphasizing its function beyond compositional technique. The study analyzes the transformation of harmonic verticality in the second half of the twentieth century, focusing on the shift from functional harmonic development to a model of contemplative presence and spatial sound experience. Research methodology. The research combines analytical and comparative approaches to examine harmonic organization in minimalism, sonorism, and spectral music. The study draws on theoretical insights from musicology, poststructuralist philosophy, and cultural theory, engaging with the work of M. Rychter, K. Saariaho, L. Teodorescu-Ciocanea, and A. Kaiero Claver. Results. Harmonic stasis emerges not merely as a stylistic phenomenon but as a manifestation of broader aesthetic transformation in postmodern music. It reflects a move away from teleological musical forms toward structures of presence and spatiality. Vertical sonorities lose their functional-semantic roles and become self-sufficient acoustic events. The concepts of acoustic presence, silence, and contemplative temporality redefine the role of the listener and challenge traditional notions of musical time and directionality. Novelty. The article reframes harmonic stasis as an ontological and aesthetic gesture rooted in postmodern sensitivity, highlighting its links with the phenomenology of sound, deconstruction, and the reconfiguration of musical experience. Practical significance. The study offers a new interdisciplinary perspective for understanding harmony in contemporary music and opens up directions for further research in aesthetics, sound studies, and post-tonal compositional practices.

DIGITALIZATION OF THE ART MARKET : A NEW ERA OF ART AND COMMERCE
type: item
description: The purpose of the article is to analyze the main factors and trends that have influenced the digitalization of the art market. The research methodology is based on the application of observation, analysis, synthesis and generalization methods, as well as an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the methods of art history, economics, and digital technologies. The scientific novelty lies in the deepening of the analysis of trends (digital technologies, commercialization of art, etc.) that influence the transformation of the modern art market and the transformation of art into a commodity. Conclusions. Digitalization has significantly transformed the art market, expanding access to art, changing the mechanisms of its evaluation and commercialization. At the same time, digitalization has posed a number of challenges for the art market. First of all, this is the issue of authenticity and exclusivity of art, because digital works, unlike physical ones, can be replicated without loss of quality. This changes the traditional mechanisms of art evaluation and can affect its value. Another important aspect is the growing role of digital platforms in shaping the market. Online auctions and marketplaces give artists more opportunities for independent promotion, but centralize control of the market in the hands of technology companies.

THE MAGIC OF THE NIGHT IN WANG XIE'S «FALLING NIGHT FLOWER»: FROM FOLKLORIC MOTIFS TO IMPRESSIONISM
type: item
description: The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the musical language of the famous contemporary Chinese composer Wang Xi. To identify the stylistic features of the composer's language in general and in particular in the chamber instrumental work Falling Night Flower for yangqing and piano. Demonstrate how the work embodies a broad interpretation of the symbols declared in the title. To explore the compositional logic and style of the work through a detailed analysis of its structural, tonal, and musical and expressive features. The methodological basis of the work is determined by the structure and artistic specificity of the object and includes a musical and stylistic approach and a comprehensive musicological and structural analysis of the musical material itself. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that it is the first to study the chamber-instrumental composition «Falling Night Flower» for yangqing and piano by Wang Xie. The expressive means, architectonics, dramaturgy, and program compliance are analyzed in detail. Conclusions: Wang Xie's «Falling Night Flower» for yangqin and piano ensemble is a programmatic work in which flowers have a symbolic meaning. In conveying his creative intention, the composer used the timbre features of the instruments, different ways of playing both the yangqing and the piano. Their ensemble sound, with some predominance of the Chinese cymbals, gave composer Wang Xie the opportunity to reproduce with the means of the piano and yangqing the richness of poetic pictures of Chinese nature, a diverse palette of moods, against which one can imagine a number of contrasting plots unfolding. The cycle's quite clearly defined architectonics is skillfully combined with a number of expressive means that include elements of traditional Chinese music and features of impressionistic music writing. The principles and methods of development of thematic material, where variant development in combination with improvi…

MUSICAL DRAMATURGY OF CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN CHILDREN9S BALLET : THE CASE OF YURIY SHEVCHENKO9S «THUMBELINA»
type: item
description: Statement of the Problem. Despite the growing interest in children9s musical and theatrical art, the issue of musical dramaturgy in Ukrainian children9s ballet remains insufficiently explored. In particular, there is a lack of in-depth analysis of such aspects as the system of leitmotifs, orchestration, and musical characterization. Yuriy Shevchenko9s «Thumbelina» (2023) is a significant example of a contemporary work for children, yet it has not received adequate scholarly attention from a musicological perspective. Studying this production makes it possible not only to reveal its artistic value but also to highlight children9s ballet as an important component of contemporary Ukrainian culture. The purpose of this article is to conduct a comprehensive musicological analysis of Yuriy Shevchenkos children9s ballet Thumbelina (2023) in order to reveal the key features of its musical dramaturgy. Research Methodology. The study is based on a combination of analytical, comparative, and descriptive methods commonly used in musicological research. Contextual and hermeneutic approaches are employed to interpret the philosophical and pedagogical dimensions of the work within the broader framework of contemporary Ukrainian children9s musical theatre. Results. The article explores key aspects of musical dramaturgy in contemporary Ukrainian children's ballet based on Yurii Shevchenko9s Thumbelina (2023). For the first time, a detailed musicological analysis is carried out, highlighting timbral and intonational features of the characters, the leitmotif system, and orchestration style. The study focuses on the musical embodiment of characters, scenographic solutions, and the synthetic nature of children's ballet as a genre. It demonstrates how Shevchenko9s music integrates Andersen9s fairy-tale plot into a modern soundscape with philosophical undertones, balancing theatrical vividness, accessibility, and emotional depth. The practical significance. The obtained results can be use…

THE DEPTHS OF WATER SYMBOLISM IN CHU WANHUA9S COMPOSITION «THE GREAT RIVER»
type: item
description: A comprehensive analysis of the piano composition The Great River by Chinese composer Chu Wanhua, written in 1984, demonstrates that the composer9s musical language merges traditional thinking with modern artistic expression at the intersection of Western and Eastern cultures. The musical and philosophical-aesthetic foundations of the composition are examined through the lens of water symbolism-a key image in traditional Chinese art. The image of water is not merely a background element; it plays a structuring and meaningful role, shaping both the development of the musical texture and the deep meaning of the work. Attention is focused on the musical-expressive means through which the composer conveys the metaphor of the Yangtze River as an embodiment of power, historical continuity, spiritual depth, and national identity. The specific features of melody, harmony, texture, and architectonics demonstrate a synthesis of Western compositional technique with traditional Chinese aesthetics. The analysis of The Great River allows for a deeper understanding of the stylistic features of contemporary Chinese piano music and its philosophically symbolic multidimensionality.

GENRE AND STYLE FEATURES OF THE PIANO PIECE «BALLAD – SONG OF THE GUERILLAS» BY WANG LISAN
type: item
description: The aim of the article is to identify the genre and stylistic features of the piano ballade «Song of the Guerillas» in Wang Lisan's creative understanding. Research methodology. The research methodology is based on both Chinese and Western sources, which allows for an intercultural comparison of the traditions of European ballads with Chinese national characteristics. An analysis of recent studies and publications devoted to the consideration of the work of the outstanding Chinese composer Wang Lisan was conducted. Results. Wang Lisan's piano work 3 Ballade «Song of the Guerillas» combines the features of a European instrumental ballad and the national features of Chinese music. Narrative features are manifested in his musical dramaturgy of the work. The main thematic material (the song of the partisans) undergoes a few transformations: from heroic-patriotic sounding through gloomy and tragic intonations to a triumphant finale. Lyrical-dramatic contrasts occur with marching rhythms and drum imitations, which enhances the «fighting spirit» of the work. The performance features of the work are associated with high technical skill, which achieves a clear articulation of rhythmic and intonation elements, control of dynamics, rapid passages, and flexible changes of tempo. The novelty lies in the analytical consideration of Wang Lisan's piano work Ballade «Song of the Guerillas», which allows for a deeper understanding of how the composer constructs a musical narrative in a genre traditional for European romantic piano music. The practical significance of the study is related to the expansion of the piano repertoire. The results of the study provide a detailed report for pianists, helping to clarify the expressive and technical difficulties of the work and encouraging further study of Chinese contributions to the genre of piano ballads in the 20 th century.

IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR POLE DANCE PERFORMERS
type: item
description: Pole dance requires good physical and technical training from the performers. The traditional pole dance program only partially helps to solve the problem of physical training of performers. In order to improve the training program in pole dance, we developed a comprehensive program of physical and technical training in aerial acrobatics and pole sports, which is aimed at developing all the necessary physical qualities. Pole dancing is an art that requires not only good technical training, dance, acrobatic, gymnastic, but also good physical fitness. Physical training helps to develop strength, endurance, coordination, and helps to hold the performed elements for 3-4 seconds, which is a requirement for performers during competitions. Daring tricks and high hangs require great strength in the arms, legs, and back of the performers, which is why we decided to develop a comprehensive physical and technical training program in aerial acrobatics and pole sports. This program was focused on the comprehensive development of performers, their physical and technical capabilities. The peculiarity of the program we developed was that instead of traditional physical training, our experiment used par terrre gymnastics, which helped to develop the necessary physical qualities. The purpose of our study was to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive physical and technical training program on the development of performers' physical qualities. The study proved the effectiveness of a comprehensive program of physical and technical training in aerial acrobatics and pole sports and the development of physical qualities of performers, as well as the importance of physical training for pole dancers.

SAANS – CRIMEAN TATARS VARIANT OF TAGINES
type: item
description: The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Crimean Tatar saan as a local variant of the tagine, within the broader system of Crimean material and artistic culture. The research focuses on the historical origins, functional purpose, ornamental features, and symbolic reinterpretation of saans in both past and contemporary contexts. Research methodology. The study is based on interdisciplinary methods combining comparative art history, material culture studies, and field research. Particular attention is given to the transformation of North African and Middle Eastern ceramic traditions under the influence of Islamic domestic aesthetics and their adaptation in the Crimean context. Visual analysis of historical specimens and contemporary ceramic reconstructions plays a key role. Results. The research establishes that saans, although inspired by the tagines of the Maghreb and the Middle East, represent a distinct development in Crimean Tatar material culture. Made traditionally from tinned copper with conical lids and engraved decoration, saans were used exclusively for food serving rather than cooking. Their ornamentation includes vegetal motifs, inscriptions in Arabic calligraphy, and geometric patterns aligned with Islamic concepts of ritual cleanliness and beauty. The loss of the saans tradition during the 20 th century was closely linked to the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944. However, in the late 20 th and early 21st centuries, the form was revived by contemporary ceramic artists. Figures such as Rustem Skibin, Abdul Seit-Ametov, Aider Abibulaiev and Eldar Gusenov have reconstructed the saans as a symbol of cultural memory, post-genocide resilience, and national identity. Novelty. This article presents the first focused scholarly study of saans as a phenomenon of cultural transformation, revealing their significance in preserving Islamic and Crimean Tatar artistic traditions. Practical significance. The findings contribute t…
