Philosophical Interpretation of the Visuality Regime: Convergence of Culture Practices, Conventions, and Experience

This work is devoted to the importance of the visual turn in the modern society, and to the fact, that the visual turn has drawn attention to the variety of existing scopic regimes and to the system of factors changing them. It deals with the nature of a contemporary dominant scopic regime in our society and gives the definition of scopic regime or, as it is also called, the regime of seeing. In order to get a broad picture on this issue, we are going to create the typology for analyses of scopic regime, where three main groups of approaches can be distinguished: phenomenological, psychoanalytical, post-structuralist and synthetic. The second part of the research will be focused primarily on the vision practice of the twenties of XX century. The implicit aim of the work is to create some kind of typology of scopic regimes, existing in the Soviet and the post-Soviet space, and to define the origins of these regimes. The highlight of the research is to reconstruct the local context of the visual experience description and the scopic regime at the modern age. In order to identify the basis for any scopic regime, the work makes several conceptual assumptions underlying the basic conclusions on this issue

University transcultural space: everyday cultural practice of foreign students

Показано, что площадкой для отслеживания динамики траскультурных процессов является образовательная среда. Академическая мобильность позволяет интегрировать собственные культурные атрибуты человека в новую среду, распространяя тенденции транскультурности. Мобильность трансформирует мировосприятие, пространственно-временные и культурные границы. Сделан вывод о том, что транскультурная среда стимулирует к осознанию ситуации наличия "своей" и "чужой" культуры, необходимости выбирать оптимальные пути взаимодействия с "Другим", сравнительному анализу культур через повседневные культурные практики, толерантному отношению к представителям других культур и самовосприятию в ином культурном контексте

The Integrative-modular Approach in Design of Modern Educational Standards in the Tourism Sector

The design of continuing professional education programs is one of the general trends in modern higher education. It concerns too the education in tourism that aims to provide the tourism industry with good-qualified professionals. The authors define the key principles of CPE: student-focused learning strategies, ability to team work, links between basic and different courses, cross discipline approach, activation of previous knowledge, achievement of understanding borders, ability to formulate problem questions, independent information research, interaction. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is regarded as the main approach in CPE. This approach to the organization of educational process suggests finding solutions to practical lifelike problems that stimulates students to study the theoretical information. The integrative-modular and competence-based approaches are used to complete the tasks in the continuing professional education. Modules are complete units of knowledge and skills, and include all the necessary educational components. The training material within a module is organized as a structural and organizational unit. The authors define the basic integrative terms of a modular program such as “project-based”, “innovative”, “student-centered”. This approach is used to provide the interaction between theoretical and action-oriented training in tourism, the integrity and the continuity of the educational process
