Subject and tasks of «History of Ukrainian Culture». 1.2. Culture and society. 1.3. Ukrainian culture in context of world culture. 1.4. Specific character of Ukrainian national culture. 1.5. Culture and civilization. Theories and discussons. History of mankind is the history of cultural development. Any nation has the most interesting point it is its culture. Culture is a qualitative characteristic of social life. Nations are strong if they had the developed culture. History of culture is the treasure of wisdom and experience received by the mankind from previous generations. People should keep, generalize, occupy and adopt this experience. Without this social progress and selfOperfection are impossible. 1.1. Subject and tasks of «History of Ukrainian Culture». Subject of history of culture is a complex study of big variety of spheres: history of science and technique, household activities, education and social thought, folklore and literature studies, history of arts. History of culture generalizes all these knowledge and investigates culture like system of different branches. What does «culture» mean? Term «culture» has Latin origin and it etymologically is connected with the word «cult» (this word originates from Latin «cultus», which means adoration of Gods and ancestors). So, we could give such kind of interpretation: it is something that provides us to the top, makes our level higher. From the very beginning this term meant «till, cultivation of land according to people's needs». Later, it was used for defining of upbringing process, education, and development. The first man, who put the definition of «culture» to scientific circulation, was Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 years B.C.) and was connected with the culture of mind, cultivation of thoughts. Since 17th century «culture» had been understood like a level of mental abilities of some nations. Contemporary understanding of this term started to use in European social thought only from the second half of 18th century. At that time «culture» meant the achievements of spiritual culture, scientific knowledge, arts, moral perfection, and all things related to the education. Nowadays, there are about thousand definitions of culture. World conference in cultural politics under the aegis of UNESCO in 1982 adopted the Declaration. In this document we could find interesting definition of «culture»: «Culture is a complex of material, spiritual, intellectual and emotional characteristics of society that includes not only big variety of arts, but also way of life, the main rules of human being, system of values, traditions and beliefs». Culture represents qualitative estimation of society and each individual. All cultural things are created by human being. Sometimes you can find the specific term «artifacts» for nonOmaterial, synthetic things created by man. 1.2. Culture and society. So, culture is transformed by the nature. Nature is a root, basis of culture. It has an organic unity with culture. Because of that care of nature (lands, water, air, flora and fauna) means at the same time care of culture. If we ruined the nature we limited our chances for future life. Biosphere could exist without people, but people could not exist without biosphere. We should remember that culture could not develop in opposition to nature. 5 The first president of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences V.I. Vernads'ky (1863– 1945) underlined we should live in harmony with nature and keep the balance between culture and nature. According to two main spheres of human activity there are two important definitions of culture: material and spiritual. To the material culture belongs transportation, communication, houses, domestic appliances, clothes – everything, which is the result of productive, material activity of people. Spiritual culture includes the cognition, morality, upbringing and education, law, philosophy, ethic, aesthetic, science, arts, literature, mythology, religion – all things related to the consciousness and spiritual production. But you can understand that this division is conditional. Criteria of division of culture: according to the mean according to subject according of expression of cultural creativity to the direction – material; – world; – elitist (high); – spiritual – national; –

  • Ukraine and the Yugoslav Conflict
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 25, No. 3, 1997 UKRAINE AND THE YUGOSLAV CONFLICT Taras Kuzio Even before gaining independence in December 1991 from the former USSR, Ukraine had supported Slovenia and Croatia's drive to independence from the former Yugoslavia. In May 1991, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman paid an official visit to Ukraine where then parliamentary speaker Leonid Kravchuk expressed sympathy with Croatia's desire for independence. Tudjman pointed out how Ukraine's seat at the United Nations had given it a head start in obtaining international recognition of its independent status. On 12 December 1991, twelve days after the Ukrainian referendum on independence, Kyiv became one of the first states to diplomatically recognise Croatia and Slovenia; and further, it announced its readiness to open embassies in both countries.1 Ukraine was the first member of the U.N. to recognise Croatia; the second and third countries, Slovenia and Lithuania, were not members of the U.N. when they recognised Croatia. Ukraine's motives were quite clear early on vis-a-vis Yugoslavia. First, it wanted to reaffirm its independent status as a new international state. Secondly, Kyiv desired to distance itself from Russian sympathy with Serbia and Yugoslavia2 in order to show the outside world—particularly at that stage, the sceptical West—that Ukraine and Russia were indeed different peoples and nations.3 Fourthly, Ukraine desired to show the outside world that it was a respectable and co-operative member of the international community. Finally, a majority of the Ukrainian leadership sympathised with the Croats and Slovenes in their drive to independence, comparing it to Ukraine's quest to divorce itself from Russia.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86543-2 - Economy and Society in the Age of Justinian Peter Sarris Excerpt More information Introduction In the year 565, in the imperial capital of Constantinople, the Emperor Justinian died, bringing to a close a reign that had lasted some forty-eight years. In death, as in life, Justinian left a deep impression on those around him. The Latin court poet Corippus declared that ‘the awesome death of the man showed by clear signs that he had conquered the world. He alone, amidst universal lamentations, seemed to rejoice in his pious coun- tenance.’1 The memory of Justinian was to loom large in the minds of subsequent generations of emperors, just as the physical monuments built in Constantinople during his reign were long to dominate the medieval city.2 The emperor had reformed the civil law of the empire, overhauled its administrative structures, and restored imperial rule to Africa, Italy, and part of Spain; he had engaged in long drawn-out warfare with the prestige enemy of Sasanian Persia and attempted to restore peace to the increasingly fissile imperial Church. In short, through his military exertions, Justinian had done much to restore the Roman Empire to a position of military and ideological dominance in the lands bordering the central and western Mediterranean, whilst at home he had sought to bolster the legal, admin- istrative, and religious authority of the imperial office.3 This attempted restoration of imperial fortunes had been accompanied by a concerted effort to propagandise on behalf of the emperor and his policies.

He then proceeded to criticize the policies and actions of the administration of President Leonid Kuchma, who is considered the current front-run- ner in a lengthy discourse. The first two months of the fourth session of the third Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are expected to be filled with political electioneering, with the podium of the Parliament as the stump, and devoid of substantive legislative action as the presidential campaign season moves to its finale on October 31. Because Chairman Tkachenko is one of the 14 candidates battling to oust President Kuchma, his comments surprised no one.
