The dissertation is devoted to the study of human plastic self-expression as a cultural and anthropological phenomenon.
In the dissertation work, for the first time, a comprehensive cultural and anthropological analysis of the development and transformation of plastic language as a tool of initiation in various socio-cultural contexts was carried out. This allows us to draw conclusions about the causes of violation of a person's holistic perception of the world and himself and offer his own scenario for returning a person to the body through plastic self-expression.
The object of the dissertation work is the process of evolution of plastic culture in the context of its philosophical understanding. The subject of this study is human plastic self-expression.
The main purpose of the study is to determine the role and significance of human plastic self-expression in the cultural process and to implement a comprehensive cultural and anthropological analysis of the development and transformation of plastic language as a tool of initiation in various socio-cultural contexts.
The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that modern human self-expression is artificial, since it does not reflect the inner nature of a person, but is aimed at the expectations of society. Hence, the ways of self-expression are chaotic, controversial, and self-presenting.
Changes in the modern socio-cultural space associated with the rapid development of information technologies put forward requirements for a new type of communication, studying, presentation in society and attitude to a person.
The disruption of social contacts is compounded by the gap between man and nature, which is the most pressing problem of the information society. The information world with its advanced technologies and psychology of consumption perceives a person, first of all, as an object of manipulation. This also affects a person's own attitude to himself.
The anthropo-cultural aspects of the relationship between plasticity and social and cultural processes of society were studied; the influence of ideology and ideological attitudes on the plastic self-expression of a person, his plastic language were studied, too.
It was proved that the total psychology of consumption of post-industrial society negatively affects the self-perception of a person of their corporeality and generates distorted forms of plastic self-expression of a person. In the dissertation work, existential-psychological and artistic-sports aspects in the transformation of plasticity were analyzed, and it was proved that modern art and sports reflect all the crisis phenomena of culture and post-industrial society.
The modern era is characterized by certain body techniques that are formed under the influence of social attitudes and correspond to the conditions of the "performance" society.
The loss of grace and plasticity is connected with the loss and leveling of moral norms and spiritual values of the postmodern era.
Modern plastic cultural forms indicate the positive dynamics of human plastic self-expression, which is a reflection of the philosophical background of the era of irrationalism and existentialism. The return to one's corporeality, its acquisition reproduces the integrity of self-perception and the harmonization of internal and external self-expression.
It was noted that plastic speech is an important component of communication processes acting in the form of nonverbal speech, which reflects the subconscious of a person, complements his plastic self-expression, and compensates for the expressionlessness of verbal speech. When finding itself in the sphere of ideology, plastic speech becomes an integral part of the formation of certain ideological stereotypes and patterns of behavior, movement, and plastic self-presentation.
The existence of a relationship in the development of plastic speech and the type of thinking was stated. The importance of plastic speech and plastic self-expression of a person increases in the context of the dominance of imaginative thinking, as can be seen in the example of primitive societies and the prevalence of non-verbal communication in early childhood.
It was found out that plastic speech as an independent language of aesthetics found its expression in dance, which emphasized the semantic meaning of plastic self-expression of a person in different historical epochs, their social status, and cultural crisis phenomena. The interrelation of the evolution of plastic culture as a reflection of philosophical and ideological concepts of a particular cultural era was demonstrated
