Wealth in itself does not generate Culture. But broadened and subtler thinking and the sense of Beauty produce that subtlety, that nobility of spirit which are distinctive for a cultured person. It is this kind

of person that can build the future of light for its country ”.

N.K.Roerich

Read the letter and write some seven sentences in response. What do you think

about culturology and why did you choose this major?

Dear friends,

I’m writing to you to have a pen-friend by correspondence from Russia. I am greatly interested in your country. I’d like to learn more about it - its history, culture.

I’m doing my first year at culturology department. It’ll be my future speciality. I’ve chosen it because I have always been interested in arts, history, archeology. Drawing, painting, making something with my hands were favourite activities of mine in the childhood. I was absorbed in the process of making an art object for my mom and other relatives.

I heard for most people in Russia culturology is a vague idea though the value of the science has been recognized in many countries. Strong cultural studies programs can be found at universities in the UK, North and South America, Europe, Australia and Asia. There are a lot of journals and conferences where cultural studies research is published and presented.

What are your plans after graduating from university ? I’d like to hear from you soon. Truly yours

In contemporary Social Sciences, the word “culturology” is taken from American anthropologist Leslie White who defined it as the field of science which studies culture as cultural systems. Following White, philosopher of science Mario Bunge defined culturology as

the sociological, economic, political and historical study of concrete cultural systems. He defined

it as an integral

system

and its influence on human behavior. The notion of culturology in

Russia takes its

A

 

and early 20th century and associated with the names of Mikhail

Bakhtin, Aleksei

Losev, Sergey Averintsev,

 

To say that culturology relates to culture is to say very little. Culture is a subject of

research of many sciences – history, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, sociology,

linguistics. But

each studies culture as a particular sphere, in its particular

manifestations. The

field of culturology is

specific. Its subject matter extends beyond the boundaries of the

humanities. It

studies

culture as a global phenomenon connected

B

.

It’s a metha -

science which

integrates the knowledge of culture accumulated over the course of

 

 

 

 

 

 

civilization and

brings it to a more sophisticated system. The culturologists understands

culture as concrete social systems composed of living human beings and engaged in cultural and social activities of various kinds. They study belief systems, cultural activities and social relations in their cultural, economic, political, sociological, anthropological, geographical and

historical contexts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

historical path of the formation of culturology conceptions doesn’t mean a process of

accumulation of

humanitarian knowledge of culture. It’s not

 

a

 

quantitative enrichment of

cultural experience either. The general idea of the science is

 

C

 

determined the formation

of the world’s civilization. Culturology analyses the features

 

 

common for the world

community and those

specific for separate nations. In the range of research of culturology

are culture, its

forms,

structure, functions and tendencies in modern society

To be a successful specialist one should know a lot. The students of

the culturology

department get

a good

set of humanitarian knowledge: in

history, archeology, theory of arts,

theory of culture, history of civilizations, history of arts,

history of science, history of

religions,

philosophy,

esthetics. The curriculum includes

 

D

.

The students acquire

practical

skills

in clay - modeling, pottery, vine – breading,

 

 

 

 

wood – painting,

silk - painting,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

doll – making,

fabric – utilizing. These subjects are supposed

to give them

a

deeper insight

into the nature of

arts

when dealing with textures, materials,

forms, colors

and

technologies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sphere

of practical usage of culturology is wide. Its

knowledge is applied in

cultural

policy and management, socio-cultural and mass communications, education and in the

field

E

. Future specialists can find an employment in institutes and centres of scientific

 

 

 

research,

museums and libraries, Mass Media and travel agencies, education establishments

where

they will solve the problems of theory and history of culture. In federal and municipal

organs of administration ( management ) the specialists work out scientific and cultural programs aimed at keeping safe natural and cultural heritage.

We can’t fail to recognize the fact that we live in a complicated and contradicting world. The characteristic feature of the present is not only an active polylogue of different cultures but a creative interaction, their assimilation and integration. It’s highly important that the diversity of cultures shouldn’t be destructive. Priority should be given to the formation of a new world’s order, where cultural identities and cultural autonomies are accompanied with universal

values of humanism, peaceful coexistence in a

 

single

environment filled with a great number

of various

cultures. So we can safely say that

 

F

of the culturologist is noble

and

important.

He keeps

safe historical and cultural

 

 

for future generations.

In his

 

heritage

activity he

works out

the strategies aimed at making the

world safe, spiritually

rich and

humane. If culture is the cultivation of nature, then culturology is not merely the study of culture, but its further cultivation.
