The object of the research is the general architectonics and sociocultural dynamics of privacy phenomenon. The purpose of the dissertation is the socio-philosophical conceptualization of privacy phenomenon in the unity of its ontological, semantic, pragmatic characteristics, constitutional conditions, sociocultural nuances and reconfigurations. The analysis methods are post-structuralist, phenomenological, constructivist approaches, sociocultural paradigm. Interpretational strategy of social-philosophical reflection of privacy phenomenon based on the idea of conventional concept was developed. This concept enables the process of operationalization of theoretical “vocabulary” that describes the privacy phenomenon in prospect of the “open horizon” of meanings that doesn’t exist in isolation from the context. Thus, the epistemological position concerning privacy conceptualization was offered. It isn’t focused predominantly on searching its general meaning as a fixed ontological reality and operationalization through a range of universal versatile characteristics, but the reconstruction of historicity and grounding of privacy characteristics dependence, its certain actual processing and subjective meaningfulness on culturally relativistic contexts, discourse procedures, local situations. The categorical apparatus of social-philosophical conceptualization of privacy was streamlined by means of introducing to scientific parlance such notions as “configuration of privacy”, “organized privacy”, “flexible privacy”, “sufficient privacy”, “deficiency of privacy”, “excessive deficiency of privacy”, “modal profiles of privacy”, “privatization trends”, that adds certain analytics to the explored phenomenon of a new notional and resource processing. Privacy conceptualization was implemented within phenomenological and sociocultural categories thereby replacing the analytical focus from essentialism, non-contextual dimension of private format of existence to pragmatics of its phenomenological sense, due to the certain sociocultural environment and to define privacy as an individually-existential phenomenon, entrenched among life-world structures, that is sensitive to “sight of Others”, that causes the (re)activation of different selective daily particle “oneself practices” which are meaningfully dependent on the present ideological definitions. It is established that privacy referential phenomenological markers (“trivialize definitions” of privacy) that illustrate functional nature of private existence and create its general architectonics in intentional, interactive, pragmatic aspects, appear as “inner”, “intimate”, “cozy”, “domestic”, “own”, “autonomous”, “sovereign”. Peculiarities of ontological status of privacy as a form of “minor sociality” with its topological features (co-magnitude to “personal I”, singularity, boundary, situational (out of) location that allows to interpret the condition of “being in privacy” as dynamical, reflexively recognized, dialogic, intersubjective meta-position were found. Mechanism of privacy constituting by means of explicating the cognitive construct of “Other” that in discursive way indicates the entry of the subject to private area of existence that is found among following possible configurations: 1) organized privacy, 2) flexible privacy. Such approach allows to conceptualize the privacy phenomenon as permanently discovered for clarification and extension of dynamical/procedural life form that has different modal formats (sufficiency, deficiency, exceeded deficiency), depending on the way the subject identifies Others for himself. Modal profiles were conceptualized on the basis of sociocultural approach (subjective, onto-spatial, discursive) that: 1) correspond to main forms of person’s phenomenal experience; 2) have certain contextual conditionality. The constitutive dependence of privacy as an individual mental landscape on the symbolical order with its relevant forms of subjectivity that serves as “rational dispositive” was shown (according to M. Foucault’s idea). The concept of “privatization trend” that serves as: 1) instrument of hidden control over private contexts that aims a person at “self-exploiting”; 2) mechanism of implicit “privatization” of publicity was suggested. Heuristic value of the above mentioned concept that is contained in analysis of the relevant – economical – privacy dimension is proven.
