The aim: The paper attempts to investigate the impact of social networks and digital media on mental health and psychological well-being. Materials and methods: The data collection was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar databases. Research papers were identified according to the search terms “cyberspace”, “cyberpsychology”, “digital media”, “virtual reality”, “social networks”, “mental health”, “psychological well-being”, “beauty”, “beauty standards”. The authors used integrative anthropological approach, interpretive research paradigm, and multidisciplinary analysis. Conclusion: The digital world is a relatively recent phenomenon, therefore, the potential relationship between its use and mental health and psychological well-being has not yet been adequately explored. Most of the research has been conducted over the last decades; and until now the scientific community has not been able to fully interpret the obtained results and come to final conclusions. As Timpano and Beard rightly pointed out, the future research should be focused on types and motivations for the use of social networks; identify potential mechanisms linking the social media use and mental health symptoms; reveal an impact of social networks on declines in face-to-face social interactions; understand the link of social networks with maladaptive coping strategies and health behaviors. The relationship between social networks, digital media use and psychological functioning is not straightforward and depends on many factors. However, we should not forget that there is nothing new under the sun. The same people act in both digital and physical spaces. And the psychological problems that are revealed in the digital universe are the same that “accompany” the actors of the digital communication process in the real, physical world. Anyway, we cannot avoid cyberspace, so we have to learn how to interact within this challenging world.
The aim: The article is devoted to uncovering the essence of the trauma, identifying the cause of its formation, and investigating the consequences for the person and the community. Materials and methods: The methodological basis of the given study is the interdisciplinary and hermeneutic approach, which was used in combination with the methods of retrospective, analysis, synthesis, and extrapolation, as well as the methodological apparatus of memory studies with its inherent intention of the problem of group identity formation. A prominent place in the process of writing the work played the method of critical literature review. Sources reflecting research on individual and collective dimensions of trauma were found in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Research articles were found using the keywords “trauma”, “traumatic experience”, “victim”, “violence”, “collective trauma”, “cultural trauma”, “memory”, etc. Conclusions: Modern studies of traumatic experience are inextricably linked with the scientific work of Sigmund Freud, who was one of the first to explicate trauma as a destroyer of “protection”. This gave reason to modern researchers to consider it an emotional reaction of the psyche to mental, physical, or cultural violence directed against the identity of an individual or an entire community. Whether inflicted on an individual or a community as a whole, trauma invariably seeks testimony in order to produce meanings and mechanisms capable of preventing violence and preserving the mental health of both the individual and the community as a whole.
The problem of the "revival" (renaissance) of the Ukrainian statehood has been the focus of attention for centuries. On the other hand, Ukrainian intellectual discourse has not been able formulate an integral and consolidated image of the past. A significant obstacle on this path was the state policy of memory of an ad hoc nature, which was built through a combination of Soviet and Ukrainian approaches to the interpretation of the past. The lack of a unifying historical narrative, the regionalization of history interpretations of Ukraine have fueled interpersonal and interregional hostility within Ukrainian society for decades. It has become a fertile ground for the humanitarian aggression of neighboring countries, aimed at desubjectivation of Ukraine through destruction of historical foundations of statehood in public consciousness of the Ukrainians themselves. The points of their spokesmen are reinforced by arguments of the conservative pro-Ukrainian historians, who, trying to consider the history of Ukrainian statehood in the context of general civilization development, have developed the thesis of “non-historical” Ukrainian nation due to interruption of national existence in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. This approach, as shown in the article, was important for raising attention of global community to the Ukrainian issue in the second half of the twentieth century, even though it did not reflect the real case. After all, even at the time of strengthening of assimilation policy on the part of neighboring states, Ukrainians did not have the interruption of national existence and continued to cultivate diverse ideas of "revival" and development of their own statehood. Such desire was especially evident in the seventeenth century due to active position of the Cossacks, who managed to wield influence on all segments of Ukrainian population, raising it to an armed struggle for their own freedom and statehood. The inability of the Cossacks to fully implement the tasks gave rise to notes of pessimism in the minds of Ukrainians, whose faith in the revival of their own statehood faded away, but never waned at all. Cherishing the former Cossack greatness, Ukrainians, contrary to the assimilationist policy of the ruling nations or stratums, have always found the strength to speak out reminding themselves and the world that “Ukraine`s glory has not died, nor her freedom”, and therefore they will defend their own statehood.
присвячена дослідженню культурологічного аспекту роботи з текстами у європейській культурі. З'ясовано методологічні засади потрактування поняття «практика» у філософському та соціологічному дискурсах. Якщо у першому випадку поняття розкриває діяльнісну природу людини, апелюючи до сфери етики та інтерсуб'єктивних взаємодій, то у другому практика протиставляється інституційні унормованості життя; постає як органічна, життєва доречність вчинків, а не механічна регламентація правил співжиття. Методологія. Розглянуто типологізацію людської розсудковості, здійснену Імануїлом Кантом, на теоретичний та практичний розум. Останній спрямовує діяльнісно-вольові зусилля індивіда у такий спосіб, аби вони відповідали всезагальній доречності й етичній несуперечливості. У Готліба Фіхте практичний розум уможливлює застосування умоглядних конструкцій до матеріальної природи. Г. В. Ф. Гегель збагатив концепт поняттями «опредмечування» та «розпредмечування» праці. Карлу Марксу належить формулювання діяльнісного підходу до потрактування людської природи. У соціології практика протиставляється механічній організованості дій (інституційній нормативності). З огляду на філософський та соціологічний методологічні контексти досліджується читанняяк діяльність та емоційно-вольовий контакт зі смислом. Новизна. Здійснено генеалогічний аналіз практик швидкого, «чоловічого» та розважливого, «жіночого» сприйняття текстів. Проаналізовано умови формування аудиторії художнього читання-жіноче салонне середовище капіталістичної Європи кінця XVIII століття. Проаналізовано процес сприйняття тексту-задоволення та тексту-насолоди (за Р. Бартом). Здійснено огляд класичних досліджень соціокультурного напрямку:
