Gurevich, P. S. - Help me, Mysterious Gene!
|
|
pp. 4-6
|
Abstract: The author comments a conversation which happened between the Literaturnaya Gazeta employee and a famous
geneticist and a member of the Russian Academy of Science – Konstantin Skryabin. The member of the Academy describes
possible consequences of so-called genetic revolution. He also reveals the possibilities of such breakthrough. However, the
interview does not touch upon social consequences of the experiment. Thus, the author of the article reveals certain threats
which will eventually happen in the future.

Trunov, D. G. - Identity Against Sexuality: the Four Male Complexes (Essay)
|
|
pp. 71-77
|
Abstract: The given essay describes male characters Othello, Arbenin, Karandyshev, Bluebeard, Stenka Razin and Perseus.
These characters illustrate the conflict between the need in sexual identity and sexual desire when the identity eventually
prevails. It is proved by the fact that all of them killed women who were sexually attractive for them (a few women were even
their wives and loved ones) just because those women harmed their male identity. Their stories are viewed as some kind of
‘psychological complexes’, metaphors or prototypes repeated in real relations between men and women (even without such
a dramatic ending). Men with such a complex omit a ‘symbolic murder’ when they humiliate, assault or ignore women
threatening their male identity even if they feel sexual desire towards these women. In the described situations sex as a
physiological category is governed by the ‘gender’ as a socio-cultural phenomenon.
Keywords:
psychology, identity, sexuality, complex, sex, desire, construct, male, murder, gender.

Karpov, O. A. - Epistemic Item and its Artifacts
|
|
pp. 7-28
|
Abstract: When studying the nature of social action it is becoming important to define universal epistemic constructs
and symbolic mechanisms of their functioning, the latter is being behind the cognitive act including its psychocultural
elements. The given article studies genesis of epistemic item as a system of cultural practices addressed to a particular
issue. Its artifacts, i.e. epistemic collection and cultural implant, form universal epistemic constructs which serve as a
matrix for any cognitive activity. They can also transfer knowledge through psychocultural element of cognitive act at a
macro-social level. As for the epistemic item itself, it draws upon a functioning dispositive which is a form of institutionalization
of cultural practices and the basis of their legitimacy and a generator of epistemic activity all in one. The start of
epistemic genesis is defined through its epistemic function which is, being collective psychic force, enters the central zone
of culture. The research is based in cultural and historical material and socio-cultural models of modern humanitarian
studies.
Keywords:
psychology, social cognition, psychocultural semiosis, archetype, epistemic function, dispositive, epistemic item, epistemic collection, cultural implant, dogmat.

Maslova, A. V. - Intuition Insight and Priori Knowledge
|
|
pp. 44-51

Abstract: The problem of definition of a priori knowledge is very similar to what is often said about intuition. Intuition is
viewed as an initial method of gaining information about the world before actual experience. In this particular article a
priori knowledge is viewed from the point of view of evolution, not as non-static and pre-defined invariants but as forming
and changing phenomena. The purpose of the article is to discover a co-relation between the concept of a priori knowledge
and intuition.
Keywords:
psychology, intuition, a priori, evolution, information, archive, knowledge, dopamine, instinct, intellect.

Savov, D. G. - Rhythm is a Super-Segment Method of Linguistic Manipulation
|
|
pp. 52-56
|
Abstract: In his article D. G. Savov analyzes rhythm as a super-segment method of linguistic manipulation. The author bases
his proof of super-segment rhythm on the fact that it is a rhythmical grid. As its implementers, the article considers segments
of different nature such as extra-linguistic, linguistic and/or para-linguistic methods which take turn in a pattern of
rhythm. Such combinations have a functional nature and form different levels of rhythm: basic, additional and dominating.
Integration of rhythm components at the level of methods and relevant functions creates a rhythmical grid which influences
super-segment linguistic manipulation.
Keywords:
psychology, rhythm, tempo rhythm, rhythmical grid, types of rhythm, linguistic manipulation, para-linguistic methods, phonatory, kinesic, proxemic methods.
