Hossain, Muhammed Elham, and Mustafizur Rahman. "Kim and A Passage to India: A Binary of Colonial Attitude." Stamford Journal of English 7 (April 6, 2013): 129–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sje.v7i0.14469.
Full textAbstract:
In modern linguistics binary distinctions are fundamental and many social and cultural phenomena are based on binary oppositions. Even many stereotypes of culture get formulated on the basis of binary oppositions: If you are not with me you are against me (Hawthorn 29) is a cultural imposition of a binary opposition upon variations of attitude. Looking down upon the natives of the Subcontinent as a people, devoid of civilization, colonial authors produced the stereotypes of attitude which remained unchanged, fortified by prejudices and cultural biases. Reading of colonial texts which are based on Indian setting, reveals these stereotypes. Rudyard Kiplings Kim and E. M. Forsters A Passage to India pictured colonial India from European perspective, degrading it to the level of a land of mystery, muddle, inactivity and lethargy. Both the texts depicted India as a binary opposition of Europe, formulated with cultural biases and prejudices emerging out of the boastfulness of the colonizers as the light givers of civilization to the rest of the globe. But it is true that every reading is a re-creation of the identity of the author and this axiom has inspired this paper to explore the basis of binary oppositions of the colonial attitude of Rudyard Kipling and E. M. Forster. This paper is also inspired by the perception that literary and cultural phenomena are based upon binary oppositions and in the days of postcolonial theory binary oppositions have become fundamental to many recent literary works. Keeping this in mind, this paper seeks to explore Kiplings Kim and E. M. Forsters A Passage to India in colonial perspective and present binary distinctions of their attitude towards India. Both the authors have chosen India as setting of their above mentioned novels and their observation of the East and the West produced binary distinctions between Europe and the Subcontinent. This paper has made a deconstructionist analysis of these stereotypes. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sje.v7i0.14469 Stamford Journal of English; Volume 7; Page 129-144

Full textAbstract:
This article introduces the scientific definitions and statements regarding the binary oppositions in mythological and folk texts with important conclusions being overviewed. It will be noted that binary opposition is used as a universal tool for determining the truth in science. The main depictions of archetypal thinking noticeable in myth texts will be analyzed. Persistent binary oppositions that shape a mythic image of a universe will be systemized, and semantic analysis of their significance in the text structure will be conducted. The role of binary oppositions in mythology, which emerged from mythic thinking while still being opportune, will be described, addressing its value in an expression of national worldview and a clarification of the universe's figure in cultural knowledge. The article will discuss a high degree of relevance of perception of the universe through a binary opposition for humanity today, who has a similar structure of mind. The fact that binary opposition is a general instrument for the recognition of truth will be supported by numerous pieces of evidence. Attention will be paid to the value of unity of conflicting powers and meanings in nature. The article will suggest a comprehensive analysis, based on the theoretical works, of the way myths hold a main function of understanding the world by overcoming the сontradictions in the universe. Myth served as a guidance for people in ancient times to discover the world, a secret of an environment, and to save an inner balance. Therefore, myth’s tendency to occupy a special place in the mind of humanity and become a fundamental root for the artworks will be examined. The Article demonstrates how the binary system in literary studies reveals the contradiction’s method of operation in myth texts, and it establishes the actant (active) activity that emerges from it.

Aim. To examine the contextual environment of the eye lexeme in M. Yu. Lermontov’s novel “The Hero of Our Time”.Methodology. The eye lexeme is presented as a text-forming one in the artistic space when creating a psychological portrait of the characters. The methods of identifying binary oppositions, as well as syntactic series in the aspect of the theory of oppositions, are significant.Results. A corpus of contexts with an eye linguistic unit (103 contexts) has been identified, syntagmatic, paradigmatic connections, and contextual partners have been established. The fundamental binary opposition shine – lack of shine is revealed, based on which additional antonymic pairs are determined.Research implications. The linguistic analysis showed that in order to fully identify the semantic structure and stylistic shades of one lexeme in a literary text, it is necessary to consider the entire corpus of contextual partners. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of using materials in teaching the stylistics of the Russian language, the language of fiction.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes four Japanese folk tales (myths) using the unconscious structures approach pioneered by Lévi-Strauss to uncover the connections between these myths and the unconscious structures of the society that holds them. The first step is to find the outer structures of the four analyzed myths and analyze them both synchronically and diachronically to find their component mythemes. The second step is to analyze and identify the inner structures of these mythemes. These inner structures can then be refined into a series of binary oppositions. Subsequently, the structures of these myths are connected to ethnographic data of the Japanese people, thus producing transformations which indicate the unconscious structures under investigatie. This analysis shows there are oppositional logics centered around the concept of duty, a fundamental part of Japanese morality – opposition between “willingness” and “reluctance” as well as between “gimu”and “giri”. These oppositional logics are the unconscious structures of their reason for duty, rooted in the concept of “obeisance”.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of a particular aspect of the phenomenon of linguistic antonymy – its irreversibility in the processes of communication, the impossibility of its replacement by other means of linguistic expression in certain types of speech contexts. The article substantiates the point of view about the deep essential rootedness of antonymy in extralinguistic reality, as well as its priority status in the systematics of linguistic phenomena, which is explained by the fundamental constructive significance of the principle of binary-oppositional structuring in the ontology of the physical world, consciousness and linguistic activity. The picture of the world provides many examples of binary archetypes functioning as a generative model of complexly organized systems. Mythology, which is the first human experience of artistic and ideological reflection on reality, is built on a system of the simplest archetypal oppositions, such as "friend or foe", "light-darkness", "good-evil", "chaos-order", "center-periphery", etc. In the history of intellectual culture, the principle of binary oppositions acts as the most important factor in the implementation and representation of the activity of consciousness, human thinking, and cultural experience. In language, semantic opposition manifests itself as an experience of naturally formed systematization in the sphere of semantic relations, which precedes scientific analysis. In the processes of communication, antonymy acts as a unique resource of linguistic representation, which is in a relationship of interdependent functional correlation with certain types of contexts and object-reference situations. In works of literature, the discursive correlate of linguistic antonymy is artistic contrast, which is realized primarily and most vividly in the classical models of antithesis and oxymoron. Rich illustrative material of this kind is provided to the researcher by the novel by Lion Feuchtwanger "Exile" analyzed in the article.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the research of humanitarian specifics of architectural form and architectural objects, three aspects are defined, from the position of which the CM system is adjusted the concept of the architectural object as megaobject (interconnected system of object and the physical environment) and how metaobject (conditioning facility, cultural space). The first aspect - the role of the binary opposition, meaning that in the architectural form of the object and system identification, or in a non-obvious, presented meanings that oppose each other, but do not displace each other. The second aspect - the presence of external environment (URBO landscape and cultural space). The presence of the environment, the environment has a formal aesthetic and ethical justification. As a result, the environment may become a challenge no less important than the object. The third aspect - the fundamental metavalue of architectural object, the method adopted in the composite as a basis. It relates to the interaction between the city and the house - two metavaluesi, covering almost all the layers and subsystems which appear in the process of interaction between the author and architectural form. This fundamental aspect is defined in the article as a universal binary formula House-City. The binary formula House- City determines the methodological structure and content of the genesis of the CM process carried out in phases as a gradual transition from the experience of abstract form to the project.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the aspect of gender politics and women’s self-identity through the comparative study of Fahmida Riaz’ collection of Poems Four Walls and a Black Veil and Adrienne Rich’s selected poems. Jacques Derrida’s concept of Binary Oppositions in deconstruction theory is the basic framework to conduct the study under feminist perspective. Since the construction of female gender, issues of women identity and their relevance with opposite male gender have raised many questions. The works of these Eastern and Western poets respectively encounter the universal truth of their subjugation as dependent creature in political and social dogmas where females have been assigned fixed gender roles of motherhood, sexuality and partisanship in undesirable pursuit. This classification of the binary assertions can be challenged and re investigated through various contextual lenses. The problem of gender politics and self-identity has been examined under the feminist perspective against structural binary of male/female as the fundamental viewpoint This research raises questions ;how Fahmida Riaz and Adrienne Rich dismantle their dogmatic beliefs, which tools they practice to reject fixed binary oppositions (bisexuality) and rethink feminism, and how concept of transcendence is deconstructed in Eastern and Western literature through social, cultural and political shifts. This research finds out the real practice of gender politics and women identity in both contexts with dissimilar and also a homogeneous approach of the writers in certain aspects. Keywords: Gender Politics, Self-identity, Binary Oppositions, Feminism, Social Dogma.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to study the conceptual opposition “familiar – alien” in the English worldview, which is a fundamental category of culture and mentality. The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the functioning of this opposition in different genres of the English language, as well as to establish its role in the formation of cultural identities and linguistic consciousness. The article deals with the description of the traditional binary opposition “familiar – alien”, which is one of the fundamental binary oppositions of human culture in general. The opposition “familiar – alien” is presented as the one that forms the basis of all human cultures and exists at the present time. Such philosophical categories as “familiar”, “alien”, “other” are considered from the point of view of their acceptance / rejection by another society, a society of another culture and mentality. The author’s provability is based on the contrast of the chosen methodology of linguistic analysis and the already formed tradition in the social and communicative scientific paradigm. It allows realizing a comprehensive, syncretic investigation of the functional, context-oriented nature of the review. Linguistic analysis is based on the manifestation of opposition in the texts of various genres of the English language (journalism, urban nomination, official business speech) and media resources, interpreted using stylistic and functional pragmatic methodology. The complex interaction and mutual transitions of various language units within the opposition are traced. It is shown that the category “familiar – alien” permeates all the semantic spheres of a particular culture, revealing spatial, temporal, socio-cultural and other vital human and natural principles. This helps to indicate constant evolution of the review model: architectonics, the system of linguistic units and the most the main thing is functions. It seems that the opposition “familiar – alien” can be viewed not only from the point of view of antagonistic opposition of national, cultural, political and social realities, but also more mildly – from the standpoint of understanding by “familiar” and “alien” addressee.

Komaromi, Ann. "The Unofficial Field of Late Soviet Culture." Slavic Review 66, no. 4 (2007): 605–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/20060375.
Full textAbstract:
This article proposes a new interdisciplinary model for investigating unofficial culture and dissident social activity in the post-Stalin period. Although binary oppositions like art versus politics and unofficial versus official are recognized today to be ideologically implicated and critically outmoded, Ann Komaromi argues that they have a certain usefulness when reconceived as structural components of an autonomous unofficial field. This critical model is developed with polemical reference to Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the field of culture. The late Soviet opposition between art and politics is explored through Andrei Siniavskii's struggle with editors over the 1965 edition of Boris Pasternak's poetry and via the organization of the famous 5 December 1965 “Meeting of Openness” coordinated by Aleksandr Esenin-Vol'pin. The critical model proposed emphasizes the material history of conceptions of autonomy fundamental to the field, profiling dynamic binaries and permeable boundaries as sites of critical interest.

Full textAbstract:
<strong>Purpose. </strong>This paper aims to study the ontological status of a trickster character in “Panchatantra” and its receptions. <strong>Methodology. </strong>The author has used analytical methodology of C. Levi-Strauss, C. Jung’s theory of archetypes, and hermeneutical methodology. <strong>Theoretical basis and results.</strong> Perception of the world in the form of a narrative is inherent in the very specifics of the human thinking. Among the most famous literary narratives that structured cultural experience of different nations are the framed story “Panchatantra” and its receptions “Kalilah and Dimnah” and “Stefanit and Ihnilat”. The framework of the analyzed text is the story about two jackals Karataka and Damanaka, Lion, and Bull. “Panchatantra” is deeply rooted in the animal epos, which is based on the totemic myth. Myths were created by primitive thinking that sought to systematize the world, to give it order through binary oppositions. Their hard core is “Life – Death” opposition. A myth deals with oppositions and seeks to neutralize them. Thus, a myth serves as the logical tool to overcome the fundamental contradictions. This is carried out by introducing a mediator. Two poles, two extreme points are unambiguous; ambiguity “occurs” at an intermediate stage only. Shift from one point to another is impossible directly – for this we need a mediator. In the given narrative the binary opposition “Life – Death” is replaced by its metaphor – Bull and Lion, herbivore (metaphor for life) and carnivore (metaphor for death). These oppositions are mediated by Jackal (Karataka&Damanaka) that feeds on carrion and has a dual nature. A mediator, which overcomes or at least mitigates the binary opposition, is seen as a compromise between herbivores and carnivores that embody the antinomy of life and death. This mediator is a trickster – bipolar character (good and evil at the same time). A trickster freely acts in unordered world of Chaos without Life – Death limitations. <strong>Scientific novelty. </strong>The breaking of cyclical time of the myth and deploying it into linear time gave rise to characters-doubles: the only one mythological image disintegrated and turned into different actors. A phenomenon of events became the basis of narrative storytelling. “Panchatantra”, “Kalilah and Dimnah”, “Stefanit and Ihnilat” have a dialogical form, which can be seen as a dialogue within one personality, i.e. at a certain stage one single mediator is splitting, and we get two characters – Karataka and Damanaka, Kalilah and Dimnah, Stefanit and Ihnilat. They represent opposing views and wisely defend their positions. This dialogue-dispute has neither beginning nor end. Karataka and Damanaka are the bifurcation of one single synthetic character – the manifestation of bipolar worldview that combines the opposing principles of life. <strong>Conclusion. </strong>The true nature of a trickster opposes any restrictions: it is open to everything. A trickster is free to move from one pole to another, he constructs reality and plays with it metaphorically overcoming the antinomy of life and death.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the relationship between different kinds of thinking based on binary oppositions in the context of the political. The main assumption of the article is based on the claim that the notion of the political requires a reworking of different kinds of dualisms. The verification of the initial assumption has been carried out in two – opposing – directions. On the one hand, there are sphere dualisms of the public–private type, which in practice support the political/ non-political opposition. Such divisions turn out to be a source of erasure of important political problems of collective life. On the other hand, no conceptualisation of the political, understood as a fundamental political relationship, can do without dualistic assumptions. Different conceptions approach this issue differently. For example, the biopolitical theory of M. Hardt and A. Negri promotes the abolition of dualisms, but ultimately the dichotomous logic in it returns, although as a manifestation of inconsistency. The concept of the political that seems most realistic appears in the agonistic theory of Ch. Mouffe and E. Laclau, in which the political is immanently associated with fundamental antagonisms based on the us–them relationship.

"In this article, we analyze the politics of representation in the detective tetralogy (1991- 2009) of the late Slovenian and Triestinian writer Sergej Verč. Addressing several aspects of Verč’s primary literary semiotic device of schizophrenia, we trace a simultaneous literary and chronological shift from minor literature to neoliberal noir. We expose the fundamental representational ambiguity by analyzing the detective triad (murder-victim-criminal), the fetishization of detective clues, the erotization of detection, and the underlying binary oppositions. Verč’s detective novels critique the Slovenian capitalist transition but also reproduce culturally conservative representations of gender, sexuality, and family."

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the dynamics of the evolution of political thinking in international relations from binary oppositions to lateral thinking. This evolution is motivated by the new social reality of regional ecosystems that form the basis of globalization processes. Marlene Laruelle and Kazushige Kobayashi initiated an intellectual discussion on the specifics and prospects of transforming the thinking of political and economic elites at the beginning of the 21st century. The article shows that a new platform for the dialogue of non-like-minded people can play a constructive role in the implementation of the glocalization of ecosystems with the possibility of preserving the historically functioning international division of labor. In such a situation, relations between politics and economics are being transformed. The commercial priorities of transactions and the development of transnational digital platforms integrated into the space of the national regulator come to the fore. Groups of economic trans-regional interests can become the fundamental basis for the annihilation of the conflicting intentions of binary political thinking.

Full textAbstract:
The duality of philosophical concepts, as well as their existential refraction in the world order and in man, is an object of interest for humanitarians of various specialties. The duality described by F.M. Dostoevsky is inextricably linked with the Absolute and has a religious basis. The rationale for the fundamental superiority of human spirituality in F.M. Dostoevsky, represented by the unity of faith and knowledge, in relation to other beginnings of his being, because it is thanks to this excess that a person becomes a person, rising above his purely natural (natural, animal) essence. The attributive relationship with the Absolute is the true immortality of man, his powerful forces as a man-god and the Absolute Personality. The search for a deep relationship between faith and knowledge must be theoretically and methodologically carried out in a broader conceptual complex, which has a direct and immediate connection with these principles: man, truth, mentality, spirituality, consciousness, being, etc.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. This paper aims to analyze Eastern spiritual traditions in the context of modern scientific worldview. Methodology. The author has used hermeneutical methodology, along with integrative approach. Theoretical basis and results. Modern perception of the world is undergoing drastic changes: it shifts towards plurality, temporality, and complexity. Increasingly, people feel that their familiar world of order and stability gives way to chaotic, unpredictable world, which exists under its own rules. Old scientific theories, ideologies, and values are destroyed. This leads to awareness of imbalance, ambiguity of human existence and, thus, to the new explanation and understanding of reality. Today the universe is perceived through the lens of syncretism: it is impossible to separate human from nature, consciousness from matter, subject from object. Humanity faces such a chaotic, uncertain worldview not for the first time. Duality and attempts to overcome it permeate the entire history: from traditional archaic cultures to modern civilized societies. M. Foucault, J. Derrida, R. Barthes, U. Eco, G. Deleuze, J.-F.Lyotard urged to abandon dogmatism, monologue perception and explanation, interpretation based on binary oppositions. The world, which is necessary to reach, occurs to be Nothing, Nothingness. In this world, people are seeking for reality regardless of any rules, regulations, notions, and concepts. Here artificial constructs of the human mind, such as Material – Ideal, Determinism - Indeterminism, Finiteness - Infinity, Necessity – Randomness, are united. Trying to reconcile continuity of being with discreteness of consciousness, they appeal to Eastern mystical teachings, in particular, to Zen Buddhism. The core concept of this school is also based on the unity of all things and the idea of the singularity of the world. The main goal of Eastern mystical traditions is to achieve the state of absolute unity through meditative techniques that have been mastered over centuries. Meditation acts as a means of overcoming binary oppositions inherent to any given culture. It contributes to the experience of one absolute unity of all existence. Scientific novelty. Modern science reaffirmed one of the basic statements of Eastern mysticism: our concepts that we use to explain the world (such as past, present, future, physical space, personality, etc.) are not fundamental characteristics of reality. They are products of thinking, that is, they are the map rather than the territory. Conclusion. In contrast to Western paradigm, the main characteristic of Eastern philosophy and science is the non-mathematical, non-technical approach to an understanding of the universe. Eastern sage has never separated himself from the Nature. He has experienced all phenomena in the world as manifestations of a basic Oneness, Wholeness, as the various aspects of spiritual unity.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to analyze Kinnell’s The Book of Nightmares from an archetypal and mythological approach. While there have been different approaches to reading Kinnell’s book-length poem, their primary concern has been Kinnell’s work in relation to other poets of his generation rather than the analysis of the book-length poem as a unity in which archetypes and myth intersect, with a central focus that is: the classical elements (water, fire, air, and earth), as fundamental elements for the resolution of the binary oppositions life and death in the hero’s quest.. Therefore, for the purpose of this study, the Jungian archetypal approach will be assumed as well as Campbell’s mythical focus, considering that these perspectives are still a valuable means for the analysis of literary texts.

Full textAbstract:
The current research paper focuses on feminism and its approach to two critical discourses that have some similarities in the ways they address issues of oppression, inequality, binary oppositions, and political-social fundamentalism and explain potential forms of resistance to the cultural legacies of imperialism and colonialism. Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale depicts the oppression of women, particularly handmaids, who are victimized not only by the imperial power but also by the local patriarchal ideology, which is comparable to the situation of colonized people, particularly women, in previously or currently colonized countries. Even though Gilead, the setting of this book, is in America, the female characters there are still subject to colonial rule. Throughout this paper, we try to concentrate on the feminist themes found in Margaret Atwood's books. The paper's introduction covers the history of the Canadian Novel as well as the themes found in Margaret Atwood's books. With a focus on the feminist perspective, it highlights the contradictions of human life before providing the work's conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the narrative structure of White Bird in a Blizzard (2014), a psychological drama directed by Gregg Araki, through a structuralist approach with a specific focus on plot development. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research analyzes the fundamental elements that shape the plot by applying key concepts from structuralist theorists. The analysis examines how the plot is organized into specific narrative stages—such as equilibrium, disruption, recognition, resolution, and new equilibrium—while also identifying binary oppositions and symbolic patterns that construct meaning within the story. The results show that the film’s nonlinear timeline and psychological themes contribute to a complex narrative structure consistent with structuralist storytelling frameworks. By interpreting the plot as a system of interconnected signs, this study offers insights into how meaning is generated in cinematic narratives through structural and symbolic relationships.Keywords: Narrative Structure, Structuralism, Plot Analysis, Descriptive Qualitative, White Bird in a Blizzard

Full textAbstract:
This article approaches the notion of engagement from the perspective of critical ontology. With language as the starting point of its hermeneutic task, it commences with an etymological analyses of diverse Indo-European words gravitating around the semantic field of the notion of engagement. From these introductory insights obtained by an exercise in comparative linguistics, devotion and commitment are mapped as two opposite, yet inseparable, modes of being of engagement. Both of these modes seem to condition engagement in an ontologically disparate manner. While examining their fundamental structures, some of the canonical concepts of history of philosophy such as being, existence, subjectivity, or world - and also some of its constitutive binary oppositions such as body/mind, individual/collective, transcendence/immanence, light/darkness and sacred/secular - will be reconsidered through the prism of different ontological dispositions that devotion and commitment impose respectively on engagement. The overall aim of this investigation is to bring forth the main existential characteristics of being-engaged, by interpreting the roles of who, where, and what of engagement, and in order to provide a fundamental conceptual apparatus for a critical ontology of engagement.

Abstract The article focuses on Virginia Woolf’s novel, The Waves, a sui generis work, in which the writer explores metaphysical and epistemological issues such as the meaning of selfhood, time and identity as flux, silence and language, the self as defined by language, and other fundamental concerns. These topics are explored through a dualistic perspective. This duality permeates the entire structure of the novel through binary oppositions: the self as one/the self as plural; the lyrical/the novelistic; the mystical/the rational; narrative/formlessness; the embodied/the disembodied; potentiality/actuality; language/silence. Woolf’s ambivalent approach is also at work in the way she uses language in the novel. The urge towards a teleological existence prompts her characters to turn events into a narrative that would arrange and combine them into one thread. The present article, however, shows that in The Waves the very human propensity to turn experience into a coherent story is countered by the opposite perception that this narrativizing drive is only an illusion.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article presents a brief mapping of Martin Heidegger’s theory of Dasein within the critical posthumanism framework. Adopting a cartographic analysis, it maps some similarities and differences between Heidegger’s fundamental ontology and critical posthumanism. It relies especially on Braidotti’s posthumanist arguments and theories to explain both the relational and transversal features of Dasein (in the posthumanist framework) and the weak anthropocentrist ones (in Heidegger’s fundamental ontology). In this paradigm, the Heideggerian concept of Dasein is situated both beyond and between classical humanism and weak anthropocentrism, given that Heidegger is deconstructing the metaphysical dialectic of binary oppositions (between human and animal), while remaining anchored in some type of weak anthropocentrism. Relying on a posthumanist and post-anthropocentrist methodology, the posthuman convergence twists the existential inquiry of Dasein and opens up a vitalist–materialist and immanent approach to the posthuman. This attracts the conceptual deterritorialization of Dasein (from its existential paradigm) and its reterritorialization in an open materialist process ontology of becoming, toward the posthuman, which is situated on the basis of an immanent, rhizomatic, transversal, and symbiotic movement given by our multiple belongingness to this material world, which relies on relational assemblages with human/non-human others, the environment, the Earth, and so on.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the structural patterns of two radically distinct genres, namely techno-thriller and visionary fiction, by focusing on the actantial elements of fictional works. It seeks to clarify misconceptions about traditional literary analysis by comparing the novels Rumi's Daughter by Maufroy (2004) and Deception Point by Brown (2001). The actant theory, first introduced by Greimas (1971) and later amended by Hébert (2020), is employed to analyze the roles of characters, exploring both their similarities and differences within the internal narrative structure of the selected novels. The study investigates narratives’ universal “grammar” by focusing on three pairings of binary oppositions, that is, subject/object, sender/receiver, and helper/opponent. Despite the differences in theme, culture, characters, and genre, the study shows that the characters’ narrative structure and actantial function are the same, proving Greimas’ claim that the actantial theory applies to all narratives. This study contributes to the basic understanding of the fundamental patterns that connect human narratives, despite the apparent differences between the civilizations they belong to.

Full textAbstract:
Street dances depict one’s local cultural heritage that stems from both early religious and socio-cultural origins. In this paper, a local street dance in Camarines Sur, Philippines was subjected for semiotic analysis to understand the underlying phenomenon that influence the changes in concept, style, and executions of the street dance. Focus group discussion, key informant interviews, and participant observations were conducted with various informants that include religious, political, and academic leaders, community members, street dance participants, and dance choreographers. The data were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded. By pointing to the signifier (physical/material) and signified (concept) in the street dances, it provides the reader with the connotative and denotative meanings on the objects being analyzed. Presenting binary oppositions is a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture, and language. By presenting the power structures and dynamics present in a society, it tries to point themes and ideologies present in its socio-cultural context which provided opportunity to critically think the influences of certain phenomena portrayed in local street dances. In a nutshell, these street dances are characterized by convergence of semiotic elements influenced by religious, artistic, gender, modernization, and historical factors revealing different meanings that evolve over time requiring intervention from local leaders and academe for cultural heritage preservation.

This article is devoted to a systematic analysis of modern approaches related to the qualitative reception of the legal ideas of G.F.V. Hegel. Particular attention is paid to the permanent interaction of state institutions and civil society, integrated by the fundamental phenomenon of the national spirit. The authors consider the constructive transformations of the Hegelian ideal state, positioned as a natural embodiment of individual and collective freedom. The original interpretation of the legal subject, formed by an outstanding German thinker, receives a systematic assessment. The Hegelian concept of constructed law is evaluated from practical positions that determine the organic synthesis of professional rule-making and mass legal consciousness. The author's perspective also includes the legal axiology of the famous philosopher, which includes systemic ideas about the differentiated interaction of moral and normative mechanisms of social regulation. Methodological reflection is based on a qualitative analysis of classical binary oppositions and logical triads, characteristic of Hegelian philosophy and adapted to a comprehensive assessment of public and private law. The epistemological potential of the philosophical and legal part of Hegel's intellectual heritage is characterized as the optimal foundation for modern research practice, directed to a comprehensive study of Russian society and state institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The theoretical analysis of the article focuses on understanding the topology of modern socio-cultural space, the peculiarities of which (re)configuration can be explained by the dynamic construction of the «in-between». The configurative format «in-between» means the ontological quality that most vividly embodies the experience of hybrid existence in the modern «multimedia environment», the zone of dynamic multiplicity of real and virtual, public and private, the main feature of which is mobility. It is shown that under the conditions of the new mobility, life becomes more variable, fluid, multilayered, that is, it corresponds to a reality that cannot be reduced to an either/or alternative. Therefore, the heuristic possibility of essentialist binary dichotomies, which excessively narrow the pragmatics of modern human existence, is questioned. It is noted that in the context of the social and existential challenges of the digital culture, the configuration of human life-space is no longer contained within modern ontological binary oppositions such as public/private, outside/inside, closedness/openness, stable/turbulent, own/other. It is proved that, in contrast to the binary world order of the «first»/organized modernity, the topological position of the «in-between» is made possible by a completely different logic, the fundamental points of which are the processes of constant transfers of public/private, performativity and situationality, procedurality, (de)localization, flexibility, transparency, topological multiplicity. It is argue changes in the nature of subjectivity (here: the ability to act). In particular, under the conditions of a multimedia, networked reality, the ability to «live in motion», i.e., to be mobile, tuned to constant movement, the endless search for new places, relationships, impressions, identities, locations, are the sought-after qualities of human subjectivity. It has been established that together with new opportunities, digital network structures also dictate a new life imperative, which enables appropriate behavioral practices marked by a frank orientation towards the public performance of private roles: any (in)action must be recorded in the media. The result of deprivation processes is the transformation of the social order of society into an intimate space of collective life (privatization). rresponding

Full textAbstract:
The stylistic method of revealing regularities, formed by the 19th century and dominating up until recently, proves to be ever less relevant to architectural and artistic processes of the Contemporary (Newest) times. To systemize the entire historical experience of architecture as a whole, more profound generalizations are required. An essential prerequisite for such generalizations appears to be the philosophical context of the paradigm shift: tradition — modernity — postmodernity. Without a clear understanding of all the differences between these paradigms, it is impossible to talk about the processes taking place in the architecture of the Contemporary times. The fundamental rejection of semantic binary oppositions (good/bad, beautiful/ugly, high/low, sacred/secular, etc.), typical for postmodernism, has entailed the issue of criteria for the value of art works, and consequently the criteria for art at large. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the mimetic principle underlies the totality of the valuable qualities inherent in traditional architecture. And that, on the contrary, a gradual departure and subsequent factual rejection of this principle became one of the main reasons for both the emergence of the modern architecture phenomenon and its present crisis. The panoramic, holistic view of architectural development combined with the philosophical context of paradigmatic shift, allows not only to see the logic in the tortuous paths of the form making, but also gives the basis to build a system of universal criteria for architectural analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The article provides a critical analysis of the main theoretical provisions of the system-communicative approach. As a starting point, the premise of communicative interaction is considered as a substrate of any public interactions, the foundation of social as such, which is conceptually justified in the works by N. Luhmann. It demonstrates both the methodological success of the use of system-communicative theory within a wide range of social fields of knowledge (sociology, epistemology, economics, political theory, psychology, art research, etc.), and a number of internal limitations (in legal theory, in the study of religious practices). Structure-forming developments of the conceptual apparatus of system-communicative theory are discussed, for example, the concepts of “media” and “form” proposed in the social psychology by F. Heider. The authors reconstruct the theoretical framework of the system analysis of communication on the basis of fundamental differences in act/experience, Ego/the Other and the comparison of the fields of their combinations and constellations. The empirical outcomes of the systemic view of communication are examined in detail, during which anomalies are identified — some gaps, or problem areas, or systemic inconsistencies in the course of communicative interaction within the framework of the proposed unified scheme of the ratio of combinations/constellations of distinctions. Special attention is paid to comparing and identifying the specifics of scientific and political communicative subsystems. Behind the first is approved a special type of system-communicative rationality, justifies the doubling of the binary true/false code in the application to scientific knowledge, proposes a variant for solving Gettiers paradox by system-communicative theory, and also notes the potential of system-communicative theory in ranking types of scientific knowledge, due to the evolutionary selection mechanism as part of the methodological basis of system-communicative theory. The political communication subsystem is provided by the authors for analysis in a system voltage with a scientific one, during which algorithms of rational re-entry and self-reproduction are revealed according to the means of binary oppositions and connections of actors (power, social movements, mass media, etc.).

Full textAbstract:
The Magic Flute by W. A. Mozart occupies a special place in the treasury of the world musical art. The article for the first time explores the specifics of the embodiment of the genre model of the fairy-tale underlying the libretto. The reconstruction of its basic, static and dynamic elements is based on methodological approaches developed in the study of folk and literary fairy-tales. The analysis of the verbal text of the opera demonstrates: canonized set of personages that possess the definite semantic functions in the plot-syntagmatic line, invariant fairytale situations, typical parameters of the fairy-tale space-time continuum. In the semantics of the fairy-tale by W. A. Mozart the categories of paths (wanderings), trials, value indicators and the totemic rite of initiation acquire conceptual meaning. The plot line of the libretto, as well as of the fairy-tale, reflects the theme of marriage and family relations but in the cosmic foreshortening. The deep symbolic paradigm witnesses the mythical, cosmogonic gist of the fairy-tale plot. The semiotic model of the artistic world of the fairy-tale singspiel is organized by the binary oppositions of Light and Darkness. Darkness is metaphorically personified in the anthropomorphic image of the fundamental constant of being — Queen of the Night. The world of the sage Zarastro personifies Light. In the verbal artistic text of the opera the composer and the librettist exhibit deep and bright knowledge of the genre canons of the classical folk and literary fairy-tale and reflect the idea of the spiritual search of perfection in the world.

Full textAbstract:
The rupture in the history of Korean embroidery is generally perceived as a severance from the traditional embroidery, made due to the Japanese colonial rule. However, it cannot be denied that the narrative of modern and contemporary Korean art history, mainly constructed around artistic movements and groups, also played a major part. The dispute encompasses the fundamental question of whether embroidery can be seen as a form of fine art from the perspective of modernist aesthetics, and the matter of hierarchy between different crafts. Also inherent are the tensions between contradictory values such as tradition and modernity, Western or Japanese and Eastern or Korean, abstract and figurative, and others peculiar to Korea, and the effects of such binary oppositions are closely related to gender problems. This paper re-examines, from gender perspectives, the chronological history of embroidery since the late 19th century, which had been placed on the periphery of Korean art history until now. In the traditional society, embroidery was produced and enjoyed privately, but moved into the public sphere through education and exhibitions for women during modernization. In the process, in order to be recognized as a form of pure art, embroidery gave up its unique characteristics as craft and took on the formative language of paintings. In the years immediately after liberation from Japanese colonial rule, which was the era of eradication of Japanese influences, establishment of national identity, and industrialization, embroidery was divided into abstract embroidery understood as more masculine, and traditional embroidery considered more feminine. Korean embroidery artists in the 20<sup>th</sup> century, as women experiencing particular historical contexts, worked with confidence in the artistic value of embroidery due to or despite their specific circumstances.

Introduction. When studying mathematics the principle of a wholeness of contents, of integration of its separate components is not always followed. The problem is in how to give students not just the sum of knowledge of separate elements of mathematics, but some holistic integrated system of ideas of the world of mathematics. The purpose of the article is to consider the way of forming an integral mathematical world view. Materials and Methods. To solve the problem, the article draws on philosophical views on the scientific picture of the world as a special form of systematization and integration of knowledge, as well as a trinitarian methodology and historical analysis. The trinitarian methodology has been increasingly used in the postnon-classical worldview. This methodology presupposes the presence of the third element in addition to two binary oppositions, which is necessary to solve the problem of binary contradictions, their integration into a single whole, as a measure of their compromise, as an ar bitrator, as a condition for their existence. Results. Based on the trinitarian methodology, the article shows that the unity of discreteness and continuity, the possibility of their integration into a single whole can be provided with the help of a fractality as the third component. The fractality is just as fundamental structural property of a matter as discreteness and continuity. Thus, it is shown that fractal geometry is not just a new branch of mathematics, it is one of the most important components of the mathematics’ world view of. By studying this section, it is possible when teaching mathematics to students the integration of continuity and discreteness, to develop a holistic intergrated mathematical world view in students. Discussion and Conclusions. For practical work in high school and university, it is also important that the study of fractal geometry contributes to the solution of the main tasks set in the Concept of Development of Mathematical Education in Russia. This is primarily to improve students’ motivation to study mathematics, developing cognitive activity among them, bringing together the learning and research, and solving the problem of the aesthetic orientation of education. Fractal geometry is also a means of integration in the teaching of mathematics and information technology. Therefore, there are all grounds for introducing schoolchildren and students to it.

In the paper – taking into account general understanding of poetry (poetry is something that is beautiful, sublime, unusual) – the textual structures of the novella that perform a poetic function have been analyzed; besides, the factors that determine the formation of the identity of the protagonist have been spotlighted. The poetic expression of the text, which introduces the developing of the plot into the natural and historical background, has been highlighted. From the poetics point of view, various portraits of heroes have been analyzed: external, psychological, and metaphysical; descriptions of the appearance and behavior of animals, birds, reptiles have been provided. What is more, in the aspect of poetic semantics and connotations, descriptions of landscapes, interiors have been analyzed; narrations about various processes of the ordinary and routine life and objects around the protagonist have been noticed. Poeticism is also represented in such textual structures as reasoning, especially concerning the fundamental issues of life and death. Taking into account the author’s strategy of reproducing the factors of identity creation, the protagonist explores his nature (and the human nature in general) through binary oppositions. Parents, environment, ancestors, history, motherland, and the home place, where he was born and where he grew up have influenced the formation of protagonist’s identity. This last telluric identity factor mostly shapes the peculiarity of Tomas’s worldview, as well as his Creator. Being a story about Lithuania at the beginning of the twentieth century, «The Issa Valley» is the story about true Lithuanian beliefs, customs, myths that existed that time; such senses make the text written in prose, poetic in its essence. Characteristics of the protagonist’s identity have been outlined: he is a person endowed with a talent of poetic vision of the world; he has religion feelings by the way, he also «tasted Manichaean poison»; patriotism rooted in nobility and in his small country – Lithuania. This is a being who becomes an organic part of the mental paradigm an animal – a human being – God.

G. E. R. Lloyd's economically persuasive study addresses the question of the universalism or relativism of rationality. Drawing careful comparisons, primarily between ancient Greek and Chinese thought, but also more widely, Lloyd introduces a range of disciplinary perspectives and specific points of focus. In doing so, he challenges his reader to think critically about their own assumptions and concepts. In particular, he asks us to consider the degree to which our own broad concepts, especially oppositions such as between rationality and irrationality, are themselves informed by their derivation from ancient Greek thought. His first chapter (‘Aims and Methods’) introduces his central commitments. Rationality and irrationality are not universal across societies in such a way that they can be judged by a single set of criteria. But nor are they just cultural constructs, so that the possibility of mutual intelligibility collapses. The truth lies somewhere in between, in the recognition of the heterogeneity to be identified in what is shared across cultures. Lloyd argues that ancient China is a particularly useful foil for a consideration of these questions, since it provides a perspective from beyond the reach of the Graeco-Roman legacy. His subtle middle road is further supported by his second chapter (‘Rationality Reviewed’), which summarizes some influential accounts of rationality and considers the ‘state of play’ across a variety of disciplines, including palaeontology, child development, and psychology, all of which present evidence of continuities between societies. The next four chapters approach the question of the diversity and commonality of reason from a range of perspectives, including cosmology, metaphysics, language, epistemology, and religion. In the case of cosmology, for example, Lloyd argues that we can identify a difference between the Greeks’ tendency to focus on the thing that is ‘Nature’, and the Chinese interest in natural phenomena and processes, absent a concept of ‘Nature’ itself. He is careful to note the difficulty of generalizing across all Greek or all Chinese thinkers. We can, however, identify a significantly similar belief in the two societies: that understanding the cosmos matters for the sake of the life you live as a result of that knowledge. In the case of the binary ‘Seeming and Being’ (as discussed in Chapter 4), Lloyd argues that the Chinese shared with the Greeks an awareness that appearances can be deceptive. However, their conception of the fundamental binary yin and yang is one of interdependence rather than sharp differentiation, such as we sometimes see in Greek thought between Being and Becoming. Throughout the volume, Lloyd argues for the need to recognize both the similarities and the differences identified as a result of careful comparative study. He ends with a recommendation for his readers to reconsider the universal applicability of certain key Western concepts, without resorting to a claim that it is impossible to recognize or communicate similarities. We must, he suggests, work from a position that demonstrates ‘due recognition both of the commonalities in human cognitive capacities, and of the differences in their deployment’ (96).

М. Иезуитова и «Очерков истории кино в СССР» Н. А. Лебедева. Считается, что пионером ее использования (в «истории» кино) был киновед Н. Лебедев, поскольку его «Очерки истории кино в СССР» 1947 г. были первой (опубликованной) историей советского кинематографа. Рукопись «История советского киноискусства» (крайняя дата написания – 1941 г.) Н. Иезуитова (1899–1941) так и не была опубликована, хотя фактически это первая история советского кино. Сравнение «историй» двух основоположников отечественного киноведения позволит проследить развитие формулы «традиции – новаторство» на материале истории советского кино. Главное внимание уделено рукописи Н. Иезуитова, одной из первых фундаментальных историй советского кино, до сих пор не введенной в научный оборот. The article is devoted to the development of one of the key normative concepts of socialistic realism – traditions and innovations – based on the first files of soviet priduction: «The History of Soviet Film Art» by N. M. Iezuitov and «Sketches of a History of Soviet Cinema» by N. A. Lebedev. It is supposed that the pioneer who used it (in the «his-tory» of cinema) was N. A. Lebedev the film scholar as his work was the first published Soviet cinema art history. The draft of Iezuitov’s book (dated 1941) was not published so far though it was the first history of soviet cinema. Comparing of these two «histories» written by the founders of our Cinema studies can help to follow the development of the «traditions – innovatons» concept. The main attention is paid to the Iezuitov work that was one of the first fundamental histories of the soviet cinema that has not been yet included into the scholar studies.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, the author explores the semantic behavior of representatives of such fundamental concepts as "heaven" and "earth" in the Russian and English language spaces. This binary opposition, despite its ancient origin, demonstrates both interaction with relevant concepts and a tendency to nominate phenomena of a universal or particular nature. The pragmatics of each lexeme is determined not only by the realization of connotative potential, but also by the projection of actual meanings on a fragment of the universe. It should be noted the priority of differential characteristics that verbalize the functionally demanded spectrum of the semantic field. Each semantic derivative of the sky lexeme is characterized by a set of implication connections motivated by hypo- and hyperonymy phenomena. In the logical and meaningful space of English linguoculture, the concept of "sky" implements the values of the visible space above the earth and the equivalent-the religious name paradise, which illustrates the unification of each case of the development of the original meaning by a sign of height, location in the supramundane space. The linguosemiotic variation of the concept of "earth" in the English language picture of the world is associated with its functioning in topographic, legal and agricultural discourses. In the conceptual sphere of the Russian language, the mental unit of the sky provides information of a religious, spatial, physical or climatic nature, while the earth nominates phenomena of an astronomical, administrative-territorial, linguistic, ideal nature. This behavior of each of the pairs allows us to talk about nomination processes motivated by understanding the processes and phenomena of the universe through the prism of naive consciousness, as well as the desire of the language to use existing lexical units to express as many meanings as possible through association mechanisms.

This paper proposes a binary DC source reduced switch 7-level inverter. Binary DC source reduced switch inverter is triggered by the Unipolar PWM strategy having sinusoidal and trapezoidal reference with triangular carriers. These Pulse Width Modulating (PWM) strategies include Phase Disposition (PD), Alternate Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD), Carrier Overlapping (CO). Performance factors like Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), VRMS (fundamental) and crest factor are evaluated for various modulation indices. Simulations were performed using MATLAB-SIMULINK. It is observed that UPDPWM strategy with trapezoidal reference provides output with relatively low distortion and UCOPWM strategy with trapezoidal reference provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage.

Full textAbstract:
June 2016 was marked by a landmark event - the so-called Brexit (literally from Britain’s exit ) – a referendum in which 52% of the population voted for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and only 48% - against. The significant changes that took place in the UK in the summer of 2016, finally split British society into those who are for and against leaving the European Union. The British media acted as a platform for political debates and discussions on the key issue of Britain’s stay in the EU. The most powerful media conglomerate, of course, had a decisive influence on the mood of those who voted, intensifying social polarization, which was reflected in the results of the fateful referendum. Elements of the British media played a key role in the debate over the referendum on the country’s membership in the European Union. The exit vote was influenced by a long campaign against the EU and against migration from EU countries. Throughout the campaign, virtually all media are in flagrant violation of journalistic standards of objectivity, fairness, and accuracy, becoming essentially propaganda bodies. The relevance of the study is due to the fundamental changes in British society related to the Brexit process, as well as the importance for politicians and the public of understanding public opinion and the media about Brexit. In addition, it is important to see how the view of Brexit has changed. It is necessary to find out the benefits, priorities and understanding of different scenarios, the driving forces behind these attitudes, and whether they change in response to statements and remarks by politicians and public figures. Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union is important for the whole world, as it affects the changing geopolitics of the whole of Europe. This topic is important for understanding the study of the political preferences of British society and the British media during the Brexit process. It can be stated unequivocally that both Brexit and the subsequent US election campaign in 2016 showed another example of skillful speculation in facts and figures, the successful creation and dissemination of unverified “viral information” through the media, which in the era of telecommunications has become a particularly effective tool for manipulation of public sentiment. The example of Brexit has demonstrated how to take the success of such campaigns to a new level, using all types of media (from traditional to electronic, including social networks), through which you can introduce into society binary oppositions that divide it, to introduce into the information space certain political figures, to popularize the necessary moods and slogans, to simplify the political process to the level of a show.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of this research is determined by the significance of questions concerning the development of human worldview through the assimilation of cosmogonic and ethnogonic myths, which represent conceptions of the surrounding world. This study aims to investigate the worldview foundations of Azerbaijani cosmogonic and ethnogonic myths, as well as to conduct a philosophical and aesthetic analysis of mythological poetic aspects. Achieving the stated goal involves the utilization of culturalhistorical, philosophical-aesthetic, and mythopoetic research methods. Azerbaijani cosmogonic and ethnogonic myths offer insights into the primordial origins of the world, life on Earth, and the fundamental principles governing the relationship between human communities and nature. They shape the worldviews of individuals, and although they may appear fantastical to contemporary observers, they are pragmatic in guiding how one should comprehend and perceive the surrounding world, assess it, and adapt to it. The timeless truths in the minds of ancient people manifest as a portrayal of the starry sky, with the sun, moon, and stars, elucidating their influence on social life and the relationships between natural phenomena and events. Explanations for the behavior of natural entities have a pragmatic nature, as the understanding of cause-and-effect relationships is projected onto human life, the system of governance, and spiritual-moral values. The philosophical and aesthetic specificity of Azerbaijani cosmogonic and ethnogonic myths is characterized by an anthropocentric and theocentric orientation, in the sense that God or humanity emerges as the core of the mythological worldview and mythological narrative. The inherent anthropomorphism of the natural world, reflecting a primal syncretism, organizes mythological storytelling in which the hero of the myth can be a human, a deity, or an animated natural element. However, semantically, the primary focus of the narrative is not the hero but rather the action or deed. Like myths in other cultures, Azerbaijani myths incorporate ethical elements, featuring evaluative components. However, the subject of evaluation is not the hero but rather the action, process, or deed – precisely these elements serve as the semantic dominants in the description of cosmogenesis and ethnogenesis. The composition of Azerbaijani myths is characterized by specific elements including repetitions, syntactic and figurative parallelism, implicit and explicit comparisons, popular motifs such as the abduction of the Sun and Moon, worldwide floods, themes of death and immortality, light and darkness, and the portrayal of giants carrying the weight of the world, among others. The narrative structure is constructed upon binary oppositions that correspond to the spatial and sensory orientation of human beings, reflecting relationships within a cosmic, social, or sacred continuum. The plots of myths related to the creation of the world are distinguished by variations in their beginnings and event sequences. However, in contrast to European myths, a consistent element in mythological events is the concept of monotheism, which serves as a constant thematic thread throughout these narratives.

Introduction. The most important concepts underlying beauty are the mathematical concepts of symmetry and fractality. These categories are fundamental for modern mathematics, science and culture in general. However, in mathematical education and pedagogical literature, the ratio of these main categories has not been considered yet. Of special interest is the fact that the concepts of fractals, fractality and fractal geometry and fractal graphics are not included in the vast majority of high school programmes, although they have become commonly used among mathematicians and graphic designers.The aims of the article were the following: to demonstrate intersectionality and correlations of the basic concepts of symmetry and fractals from the point of view of synergetics, to establish the relevance of studying these concepts in the course of mathematics for aesthetic education of students and development of their worldview.Methodology and research methods. A significant role in the study is given to post-non-classical methodology based on synergetic worldview. The author employed the provisions of trinitarian methodology: in addition to two binary oppositions, the third element is necessary to solve the problem of contradiction of theseoppositions and integration into one coherent whole as the onditions of their coexistence. In the course of the research, analysis and generalisation of pedagogical and methodical literature, methods of comparative, historical and logical types of analysis were used.Results and scientific novelty.For centuries, beauty has been understood as a stable order and symmetry. The synergetrics as a general scientific theory about self-organisation of complex systems allows us to give another interpretation of beauty – as a kind of attractor, the result of self-organisation of nature or theflight of human thought. In the most general view, symmetry can be considered as transformation of similarity, which is also the core of another concept – fractality. On the one hand, fractality can be considered as one of the manifestations of symmetry in the broad sense. On the other hand, symmetry can be considered as a manifestation of fractality with a finite number of iterations. Thus, the concepts of symmetry and fractality are closely interrelated. Symmetry and fractality are two opposites, mutually complementing each other, aesthetically and mathematically mutually passing into each other. Symmetry reveals the beauty of a sustainable order and fractality reflects the beauty of the result of self-organisation of the chaos of nature or the freedom of the human mind. Therefore, symmetry and fractals are the most important concepts for the disclosure of the beauty of the universe, which determines their importance for mathematical learning and for aesthetic education of students.Practical significance. Taking into account the fact that the concepts of symmetry and fractals are directly related to each other, they should be jointly-taught. This will contribute to the development concept of mathematics education: to increase motivation for mathematical studies, to develop cognitive interests and activities, to narrow the gap between education and research processes, to overcome the problems with aesthetic education of students.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the binary opposition of proverbs on the topic “Rich and Poor” in the Kazakh language. The research work is aimed at determining the meaning and level of resistance of the concept of “Rich and Poor” in the proverb. Consideration of the paremia from the point of view of binary opposition is the main idea of the research work. We see that thanks to the possibility of the Anthropolinguistic paradigm, it is possible to freely integrate these fundamental areas. In addition to such stable concepts as theoretical conclusions and hypotheses, classifications related to the motivation of paroemias, the article provides information from the etymology of some words. At the present stage, the solution of textual problems by conducting linguo-folklore studies is very relevant for ethnolinguistics. In the course of the study, methods of comparative and descriptive-historical, analysis and synthesis, and the study of the lingual folklore unit were used. The study of individual units within the paroemia with their placement in opposite positions is also considered. As a result, we were able to determine everything from the origin of the concepts “rich-poor” to semantic reconciliation. The study and its results will be important for researchers in the field of ethnolinguistics, lexicology, paremiology. The results and conclusions of the study can be used in pragmatic cognitive studies, paroemia dictionaries.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Much of the conceptual work on international organizations situates the identity, nature or legal form of the institution between binary oppositions: ‘open’ vs ‘closed’, ‘agora’ vs ‘actor’, ‘contract’ vs ‘constitution’, etc. These oppositions are informative and revealing of tensions underpinning different aspects of international institutions: the extent to which they are vehicles for their member states versus autonomous actors in their own right; that they have limited, derivative and defined powers, but are also able to evolve and adapt to take on new competences and unforeseen powers, and so on. At the same time, insofar as many of the core doctrines of international institutional law, on e.g. personality, powers, responsibility, etc., rely most heavily on the European Union and the United Nations – arguably two of the most unique institutional structures – as evidence for these doctrinal developments, it is clear that there is something more special, unique, indeed sui generis that needs to be thrown into the conceptual mix in order to fully understand the nature and importance of international institutions in contemporary international law. In this way, I will argue, international institutions have a more complex identity and relationship with international law in which they not only exist within (closed) and as part of (open) contemporary international law, but also aim to overcome its limitations, to transform it in some way. For this reason, rather than being competing understandings of international institutions, the interplay between these kinds of binary oppositions actually only reflect back broader theoretical tensions ingrained within international law as a decentralised legal system – a condition which makes it impossible to definitely ‘pin down’ the seemingly elusive identity of the international organization. However, it is also a condition which allows for the construction of tentative hierarchies and forms of more centralised governance within international law, whilst always leaving scope (through legal form) to challenge any such pretentions to authority.

Full textAbstract:
Hope and Fear are something that lies in the deep of the human mind that affect how people act. This research is conducted to reveal fear and hope in society as part of human psyche that build its very foundation. The topic of this research is hope and fear in Stephen King’s The Mist. The research instrument uses observation sheets, while the data collection is based on the library research. This is a descriptive qualitative research that used structuralism theory by Levi-Strauss. By using the structuralism theory, the analysis of the study was conducted through binary opposition found in the novel. This research results in several findings as follows: 1) People lose themselves as human when fear constantly breaks them, while hope is the one that can keep them as human even in the hard times. 2) In religion aspect, fear has changed the way people think about God. The disaster, the death, and the monster are said to be God’s will. It shows that the fundamental of belief is changed from blessing life to cursing life. Furthermore, society’s moral has degenerated that they justify the wrong thing as right, and otherwise because they only think about their safety.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to analyze the process of discovering the self in The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid from the standpoint of Orientalism. To achieve the research objectives, it has utilized the theory of Orientalism developed by Edward Said. The goals of the study are to identify the reasons for Anders’ self-discovery process as a protagonist from an Orientalist lens; and second, to explain the conflict of the binary opposition of Orientalism that leads to the segregation of races and its impact on the lives of individuals as portrayed in the novel. Drawing on the methodology of qualitative textual analysis, this paper considers the novel’s characters in light of Orientalism. Therefore, the findings are the following. Firstly, the novel describes the process of Anders’ becoming, his new views on race and identity, which is relevant to Said’s concept of the ‘Other’ in Orientalism. The narrator’s process of discovering oneself mirrors the assimilation and the subsequent critical thinking of the Western paradigm, which is a fundamental concept of Orientalism. Secondly, the novel shows how main oppositional pair of Orientalism affects the segregation of races as well as the lives of people. The characters of the novel change physically and probe into the society’s norms and races, in accordance with Said’s idea of such changes being social constructs. As a result, the concept of power and the norms of society get shifted and this show how the concept of Orientalism has penetrated deeply in the minds of people.

This article maps the complex and changing interrelation of madness (μανία) and truth (ἀλήθεια) in the erotic speeches of the Phaedrus. I try to show that μανία is not merely a secondary aspect but rather a fundamental element within the structure binding together the sequence of speeches. I will show how what starts as an apparently simple binary opposition between μανία and ἀλήθεια in Lysias’ speech and Socrates’ first speech suffers an important modification at the beginning of the palinode, and is finally turned upside down in the radical reappraisal caused by the focus on erotic μανία. The result is a different understanding of μανία, as well as a reassessment of the status and cognitive reliability of day-to-day human perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The author analyzed the reflection of the archetypal opposition of our – alien/other in the mass media texts in Bulgarian contained in a number of newspapers published in the Republic of Moldova. On the one hand, they reflect the symbolic meaning of the concept of “Bulgarianship”, which is fundamental for the ethnic consciousness of the Bulgarians of Moldova, and on the other, they express a deeply tolerant attitude towards the other: a desire to know the culture of others, share information about their culture, a demonstration of the desire for cooperation and (in some cases, when it comes to help) feelings of gratitude to others – people who do not belong to the Bulgarian ethnic group. It is emphasized that the formation of certain views, including in the field of interethnic relations, to a large extent depends on the actions of the media. There is a feedback between the mass media resource and its perception by readers. The article demonstrates the general trends reflected in a number of media resources in the Bulgarian language published in the Republic of Moldova, in connection with the opposition our – alien/another, with the definition of “we”, “our space”, with an attitude to our (including to “our values”), “our space” and also to the concept of “the other,” reflected less explicitly.

The phenomenological philosophy founded by Husserl attempts to reflect on language as a fundamental cognitive tool through the method of suspension and restoration, and to break the binary opposition between subject and object, phenomenon and essence. In Husserl's view, language is not only a medium for interaction between humans and the world, but also the foundation for constructing human experience. This philosophical approach provides us with a brand new way of understanding the world, enabling us to go beyond traditional epistemological frameworks and delve deeper into the essence of human experience. Heidegger's existentialist phenomenology and Merleau Ponty's perceptual phenomenology are important branches that inherit and develop Husserl's phenomenology, and the exploration of architectural phenomenology is mainly based on these two branches. This article analyzes the mapping relationship between Norbert Schultz's place spirit and Steven Hall's architectural practice, respectively.

<strong>The Purpose</strong> is to recover rhizome and barocco as cultural-ontological foundations of innovative process. Methodology is subjective analysis of conceptions ‘rhizome’ and ‘barocco’, thematization their presence in space of innovation carry out with using discoursing approaches’ of phenomenology, comparative, structuralism.<strong> </strong><strong>Scientific Novelty</strong>. Rhizome has been opened as cultural-ontological foundation in its processes, problems, pre-predicative functions, totality, transcendence and principles of connection, diversity, cartography, re-traicng etc. It is showed that barocco with rhizome founds innovative process in some aspects: fold, binary, extension and texture. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> Rhizome as one of the foundations of innovation shows its non-line, statistic character that determines its creative potential and opens in two directions: from innovation to rhizome and on the contrary. In the first case when we have a deal with innovative characteristics as process, problems, pre-predicative, totality, transcendence. In the second case we have a deal with the principles which can carry out innovative activity: a) connection (unavoidable of freedom of researcher, and it correlates with the principle of epistemological anarchism ‘Anything goes’); b) inhomogeneity (maintenance of multiplicity of innovative decisions that correlates with postpositivistic principle of proliferation); c) multiplicity (attitude on principle refuse from tradition in innovative activity); d) a-signed break (non-line character of innovative processes); e) cartography (constructive character of innovations with possibility of variety of different senses); f) re-tracing (critical attitude to the past and probable results in the future). Barocco consist in specific of innovative activity on contemporary period and has some parameters: fold: innovative activity in conceptual and methodological aspects are carrying out as multiple folds, crossing of different sense fields: b) binary opposition ‘interior – exterior’: innovative activity is a point of crossing and break of spontaneous and determine processes; c) binary opposition ‘up – down’: innovative activity has non-line, topological character; d) extension: in innovative activity priority has process on ending; e) texture as sing of singular character of innovative process; f) paradigm underlines fundamental, whole, universal character of innovation.

Full textAbstract:
With continuous technological advancement, artificial intelligence art is reshaping the boundaries of artistic creation at an unprecedented pace. Its generative mechanisms, driven by algorithms and vast datasets, not only challenge traditional aesthetics but also provoke profound reflection on the nature of artistic subjectivity and originality. As AI evolves, it is no longer merely an auxiliary tool in art creation; its increasing subjectivity prompts humanity to reconsider the fundamental questions of what is art and what is art for. AI-generated works blur the lines between creator and creation, machine and artist, calling into question long-held assumptions about creativity and authorship. Moreover, AI art challenges conventional definitions of beauty and artistic value, while simultaneously opening up expansive new possibilities for the diversified development of future art. Between technological progress and humanistic values, artistic practice must transcend the binary opposition between humans and machines, embracing a new paradigm of humanmachine collaborative creation that redefines expression, emotion, and the role of imagination in the digital age.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the writer has two main aims. They are (1) to explain how morality is portrayed in the novel and (2) to explain how morality is questioned through absurdity. This study is a qualitative analysis. The data were collected by reading, identifying, and classifying excerpts from the novel and analyzed by interpreting process of elucidating the binary opposition which later was reversed (the hierarchy) by applying Derrida’s deconstruction theory. After conducting this study, the writer came at two conclusions. First, the morality in The Outsiders was portrayed by appearances and judgments, neglecting various factors such as reasons, conditions, and motives behind particular actions. Second, considering other factors mentioned before, the writer implied that most of those moral-immoral things portrayed in the novel were merely bias. In oversimplified words, morality is an idea comes from one’s perspective (subjective), yet many people thought they could differ the right from the wrong. Thinking those entire possibilities, raised fundamental question, is not morality so absurd? Does morality even exist in the first place?
