Chamber Spaces of the "Outgoing City" in the Works of Krasnodar Artists

The article continues the study of the problem of artistic interpretation of the image of the city in the fine arts of Kuban, previously considered by the author, using the example of the Kuban capital. The subject of art criticism and semiotic analysis of visual texts are chamber urban spaces, the figurative characteristics of which have received the most vivid expression in the genre of urban (architectural) landscape. The increased interest of artists in capturing diverse mosaic texts of the urban environment, urban interiors and their fragments is due to the loss of part of the cultural heritage of the historical city center, a change in the architectural appearance of old buildings from traditional to more «modern». The use by masters of various techniques and materials, approaches, compositional and stylistic techniques, artistic tropes in painting and graphics stimulates the process of generating visual texts that form a detailed exhibition of urban images - streets, courtyards, modest mansions, elements of architectural decor. A significant place in it is occupied by architectural artistic metal, represented by the ornamental richness of forged roof canopies, which, together with other elements of the facade decoration of buildings, gives originality and unique flavor to the historical buildings of the «vanishing city», which is increasingly losing the cultural layer of its heritage. Chamber anonymous spaces still retain the «spirit of place», that unique sense of the originality / individuality of the environment, its involvement in a person’s worldview, which so attracts masters of different creative ranges.

Culture as “Soft Power”: Range of Actions and Potential Opportunities

Using the chronology of events in the world at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries as empirical material and carrying out its historical and logical reconstruction based primarily on the analytical method, the article traces the evolution of ideas about the “soft power” of culture. The combination of the concepts “soft power” and the rather aggressively sounding “range of actions” contains a reference to the reliance on the “soft power” of cultural expansion as a mechanism of political and economic influence (which was realized to the greatest extent after the collapse of the Soviet system) declared at the end of the 20th century (Joseph Nye, Francis Fukuyama).
