This current tendency of an integrated interdisciplinary approach to the background of the theory and history issues of culture and arts is clearly reflected in the articles presented by famous scientists, philosophers, culture scientists, art historians of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. The authoring team have offered a wide range of issues related to cultural and creative processes in Ukraine and in the world. The research range of the presented chapters of the monograph involves searching for the path-dependent patterns for the cultural studies in Ukraine: to study the current state and conceptual frameworks of arts and cultural education; to expand the discourse of cultural studies and art criticism; to test it in the study of specific phenomena of the cultural advancement of humankind; to reveal the cultural model evolution of the arts and the art world; to clarify the spiritual bonds of cultural activity within the world- perception and world-view transformations at the end of the 20th – 21th centuries. These issues of development of contemporary culture, to mention but a few, require considerable efforts of philosophers, cultural scientists, aesthetician, ethician, sociologists, political scientists and representatives of other social and human sciences in the transformation processes perception that relate both to the target academic issues, and to the study of world culture and art culture issues, in particular, as a basis for artistic activity and its influence on the study of the criteria of artistic and aesthetic values of contemporary art. The chronological and geographical range of research, published in the collection of research papers, is wide enough: from a culture of the Early Modern Period to the latest phenomena and trends of post- postmodernism as a transcultural phenomenon. In this range, there are significant issues of culture form as a transformation of social and cultural sphere in the information society, civilizational challenges of the 20th century, topical issues of historical development and current state of Ukrainian national artistic culture, at last, the transformation processes in culture at the turn of the Millennium, projected on the realities of life of the Ukrainian society. 1 One of the most significant factors that has a significant impact on the civilization process in terms of time is compulsive and increasing dynamics of improvement of various forms of scientific knowledge, and at the same time, strange as it may seem it is largely paradoxical combination of diverse practices of rational and irrational framed strategic objectives of social development. And as a consequence of a combination of circumstances, of subjective and objective nature of resonant tonality in the modern cultural development of mankind can specify the determinants of irrational content, which usually require rational reasoning, scientifically formed system of evidence and argument. Therefore, in this case, the ever-increasing authority of science is used as an effective tool to justify the aims that are often inhumane. And this results in both spiritual and massive military conflicts. Since the modern world is highly integrated, it is putting not only individual communities, and countries but also the whole world at risk. As noted by contemporary American scientist A. Toffler, people often do not have time to adapt to everything that happens to them in the modern world, they are in a state of future shock, which is inexorably staring at their faces, dictating them new ways of spiritual non-self perception, experience and existence in it, which have been impossible so far. The temporal dimension of human existence in the world acquires new forms. This is reflected in appropriate cultural forms and real-life of human existence in the world. Contemporary culture sorely requires synthesis of time samples where a human can fix in the realities a fact of culture evidence through the historical stages of world development and today it can be a clue to scientists who are addressing the advanced issues. Possible future steps in the cultural development influence actively the present solution searching for Universe existence. The publication of the joint monograph of teacher-scholars of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts is an important event in the educational and scientific life of the University. This scientific publication is to be an essential component in the development of the high potential of the scholastic institution and designed to shape not only specific scientific fields (and at the University there is a wide list of the departments with relevant academic and art guild of expert teachers), but also to create a limitless framework for scientific social environment as part of the invisible "aura of the arts" (L. Kostenko), through which culture, as in a mirror, produces three-dimensional picture of itself. 2 It is the hope of the authoring team that presented monograph will favour the integration of scientific and humanitarian knowledge and intensification of cultural and creative processes in Ukraine and will be of interest to the professional cultural and artistic community and a wide audience. 3 DOI https://doi.org/ CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF DUAL EDUCATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENTS: KYIV NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF CULTURE AND ARTS EXPERIENCE IN THE EUROPEAN VECTOR Poplavskyi Mykhailo INTRODUCTION The concept of dual education, the strategy of launching its individual elements in the HEA and, for that reason, studying European and world experience has been the agenda of the professional community in Ukraine’s educational space for several years. Having started from “the top”, being reflected in the updated legislative framework (Law of Ukraine “On Education”, in the Government Action Plan for the period 2017–2020, in the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine “On Approval of the Concept of Training Specialists in the Dual Form of Education”), the process of comprehension and implementation of dual education gradually changes the established ideas about the activity of higher education, becomes the subject of discussions and debates, directly influencing the development and approval of educational plans and programs for specific areas, specialities and specializations.

  • A READING of BYRON's DON JUAN by CATHERINE
    ) "ADVENTUROUS AND CONTEMPLATIVE" A READING OF BYRON'S DON JUAN by CATHERINE ANNE ADDISON A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 4 October 1987 © CATHERINE ANNE ADDISON, 1987 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 ABSTRACT This dissertation on Byron's Don Juan begins with a history and analysis of the stanza form. Since ottava rima is a two-fold structure, comprising an alternately rhyming sestet followed by an independent couplet, it encourages the expression of dialectical ideas. Byron's prosodic virtuosity uses this potential to create a multivalent tissue of tones which is essentially—and almost infinitely—ironic. A view of prosody is developed here which is unique in its perception of the poem's existence in terms of a reading that unfolds in "real time." For various reasons, "reader-response" critics have not yet taken much cognizance of prosody.

It deals principally with the poetry of John Davidson though, where appropriate, there is discussion of his plays, novels and short-stories. Chapter 1 deals with Davidson’s formative influences and stresses the importance of his background in forming some of the most fundamental and enduring concerns within his writing. Particular focus is given to outlining the influence of factors such as Knoxian Calvinism, the Scottish social environment and landscape, and issues of rebellion and dissociation expressed through recurrent themes of familial tension and division. Chapter 2 aims to illustrate that Davidson's displaced status is a key factor in producing the innovative modernist propensity and style of his work.

  • Janet Feder + Fred Frith
    For Immediate Release: December 29th, 2016 Creative Music Works presents Meet the Board Series: Janet Feder + Fred Frith As part of the Meet the Board series, Creative Music Works board member, educator, and guitarist Janet Feder curates and once again joins forces with internationally renowned improvisational pioneer Fred Frith for two unique and intimate events including an artist talk and demonstration about the creative process at Neorama Art Studio on Friday, January 20th and a concert performance on Saturday, January 21st at Denver’s world class recording studio, Mighty Fine Productions. “Janet and I have played and recorded together once in a while over the years. I always look forward to it immensely,” said Frith. “It's a different kind of conversation from the ones that usually go on between ‘guitarists,’ which both intrigues and challenges me.” “There's no default, no comfort zone. It's a pure and deep kind of interaction in which nothing is wasted,” continued Frith. Janet Feder and Fred Frith first appeared in the same sentence among 19 guitarists featured on Cuneiform Records’ 2002 release 156 Strings (including the likes of Richard Thompson, Henry Kaiser, Nels Cline, Mike Keneally, Miroslav Tadic among others). Their first performance together followed shortly after at Mills College where Fred is faculty, and their collaboration continued in a short series of concerts in Colorado in 2003. These performances resulted in Feder’s CD+DVD release Ironic Universe (AdHoc Records, 2004) which threads their live improvisations between Janet’s compositions for prepared guitar. Janet and Fred have continued to perform together whenever life and schedules allow.

    Real Talk: Direct Discourse and the Victorian Novel By Alexandra Irene Dumont A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Kent Puckett, Chair Professor Grace Lavery Professor James Vernon Summer 2018 Ó Alexandra Irene Dumont, 2018 1 Abstract Real Talk: Direct Discourse and the Victorian Novel by Alexandra Irene Dumont Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Kent Puckett, Chair This dissertation proceeds from the idea that, although it is everywhere present and routinely discussed, we have nevertheless neglected to talk, thoroughly, about “talk” in the Victorian realist novel. It also proceeds from the idea that we have done this because it is precisely what such novels, and Victorian culture more generally, have taught us to do. Talk, I argue, both as a subject and a mode of novelistic representation, is cast as an other to the novel, one that is simultaneously alien to and containable within the realist text. As a verbal activity, talk suggests an orality that is quotidian and amorphous, a flow of words submerged in the social world that elicits it. This formlessness and sociality render talk an ideal figure for the vast, teeming “life” to which the realist novel refers, and whose heterogeneity is as much a model as a vexation for novelistic form. As a textual formation within the novel, I argue, talk as direct discourse functions as a “real fictional object”: a place in which the language of the novel shifts from a mode of representation to an object thereof, and consequently becomes at once more and less “real.” For authors like Harriet Martineau, George Eliot, and Henry James, such ambiguities provide a means of navigating realism’s competing imperatives of extra-textual reference and aesthetic self-sufficiency.
