Holubenko O. Phenomenon of digression: the existential-phenomenological analysis and sociocultural contextualization

The object is phenomenon of digression. The aim is to analyze the complex phenomenon of digression on different ontological levels: from existential dimension of human existence to the range of social and cultural projections of this phenomenon. The methods are existential-phenomenological, hermeneutic, historical, philosophical, comparative, critical. Theoretical results and their novelty. It was found opportunities for philosophical understanding and effective theoretical application of concept of digression; in particular, for the first time developed an interpretation of the phenomenon digression as essential constitutive of existential "base-structure" of human being; grounded topicality and clarify key aspects of digressive strategies (as existential "techniques", aimed at local neutralization of "total indexing" and the negative effects of temporal-dynamic expansion of the so-called "quasi-markets") within contemporary social field. It was found digressive "components" in general "mechanics" of modern cultural-translational processes; analyzed the specificity of constitutive for human subjectivity process of "self-displacement" on the existential and socio-cultural levels; found the origins of contemporary issues of "artistic" component in the overall "mechanics" of the critical work of the society; conceptually thematized various forms of "displacements": from the possible strategies of human (self)creation which have the character of "productive deviation" to the phenomenon of "incorporative displacement" of the social system as its way to work with the own "critical load". The practical value: scientific statements made in the paper may be theoretical and methodological basis for clarifying current issues of anthropological and cultural knowledge that are associated with problems of deautonomization of person, desubstantialization of social orders and fundamental changes in views on human being and the genesis of its "sphere of immanence". Main positions of the dissertation can be used in the practice of teaching courses of philosophical anthropology, ontology, phenomenology, existential philosophy, social philosophy, philosophy of culture and the history of philosophy.
