The paper develops a methodology for interpreting and analysing translation features of the Chinese press within the language pair “Chinese – Ukrainian”. Special attention is paid to the lexical and grammatical characteristics of the Chinese press as manipulative instruments. The philosophical background of the Chinese newspaper lexicon is considered, which stipulates a diverse use of common and specific vocabulary from modern Chinese, idiomatic expressions, neologisms and literary words from old Chinese, and emotionally coloured vocabulary. The grammatical level is represented by (...) a fixed word order in a sentence; complex, compound, and two-member simple sentences; all communicative types of sentences; lack of elliptical structures; a large number of particles. The research offers an integrated approach to the study of the strategy of communicatively equivalent translation, translation tactics, and operations when dealing with the Chinese press. Some translation regularities are illustrated. (shrink)

To carry out socio-philosophical conceptualization of the phenomenon of smart-culture as the newest sphere of human being, which emerges and develops in the era of informatization and technologization of society.

The article is dedicated to the study of the emotions of mystery in Gothic novels and thrillers. For many years, beginning with ancient times and up to modernity, mysteries and secrets were under thorough investigation by scientists. Mysteries, secrets and silence are associated with horror and happiness. That’s why they became the object of the proposed article. According to the linguacultural approach, the concepts were studied as complex phenomena, with composite meaning peculiar to the concepts under analysis. The concepts MYSTERY, (...) SILENCE and SECRET, were considered as the typical situations, the structure of which consists of such spheres: actants, predicates, attributes, quantifiers, space and time. Each of these spheres represents part of the characteristics and makes it possible to create a general understanding of the concepts under analysis as of complex phenomena, which are most vividly revealed in Gothic novels and thrillers. These novels disclose the emotions of mystery as unknown, horrific and tense situations are the main feature of these genres. Mystery has the key role here and is the inseparable part of their understanding. It was demonstrated that the concepts under analysis represent positive and negative features which denote their ambiguous and binary character at the same time. (shrink)

The problem of identity and identification has been occupying a prominent place in research studies since the early 20th century and is one of the most relevant issues in the science of the late 20th - early 21st centuries. It is determined by the changes in socio-cultural reality in the post-modern societies of the second half of the 20th century, the crisis in the existential approach to the personality studies, enhanced integrative trends in the scientific thinking, its humanitarianization and anthropocentric (...) nature. This research paper looks at the actualization of the studies on identity and identification, describes the history and scope of the identification studies, substantiates the differentiation between the terms of individual/collective identity and identification. The subject of the article is the phenomenological and conceptual essence of identity and identification. The goal of the article is to substantiate identity and identification as the phenomena and scientific concepts. The methodological basis of the research includes the complex of the general research methods, namely: observation, description, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, taxonomy and modelling. The differentiation of the investigated terms reduces to the fact that identification serves as a foundation for constructing identity, so they correlate as a mechanism, process, and result of such mechanism’s operation in an individual self-conscious. Identification is seen as a cognitive-and-emotional mechanism of identity construction, due to which the subject constructs his or her own sameness. Identity is a result of recognition and emotional assessment of the individual-and-group and collective characteristics by an individual or group. Such characteristics have been endorsed by the relevant others as a result of constructing the world image, the image of the collective, of individual's or group's self and their place in there, basing on the specific identifying features.

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the phenomena of the exiled writer in migrant literature. The perceptions of homesickness, identity, belonging, multiculturalism, otherness, and exile help us to highlight a number of psychological realities that the exiled writer faces becoming a migrant. With the help of mythological, sociological and psychological categories, we tried to open hidden layers of migration. Migrant literature is individual, subjective, diverse, but the causes that make writer become migrant are sometimes similar.

National culture, especially literature, contains invaluable nation-building potential and is an effective factor in influencing the development of the national identity of the individual and the ethnic group as a whole. In the process of forming literary works, the author’s consciousness and subconscious play an im­portant role, so they are not only one of the best ways of expressing a creative personality and a form of its reaction to events occurring in the outside world, but also one of the most (...) important means of forming the national identity of the recipients. Therefore, such a literary work contains a modus of national identity. The main content of this concept in the literature is revealed in the article.

Such element-dominants are motives, artistic imagery, lyrical character as the main expression of the author’s thoughts, as well as archetypes, symbols and place names. (shrink)

The article focuses on issues related to the pedagogical challenges of transhumanism. The authors consider possible ways to ensure that students will have a high level of economic literacy in combination with morality. This will allow students to develop an idea of ethical consequences which arise from management decisions made in the context of digitalization. When teaching subjects related to economic cycles, a lecturer faces various challenges formed by the modern transhumanist concept. One of the challenges is to work with (...) the “digital generation” without its knowledge and orientation to moral and ethical principles, especially when students are from non-humanitarian universities. The ability to feel and be aware of fairness and to prefer justice to unjustness is a characteristic gifted to a human being to maintain his or her own internal interests. Transferring this attitude to the company will influence and form its ethical and moral principles in creating and promoting a product aimed at removing the obstacles associated with physical inability. Ethical postulates in teaching economic disciplines will ensure that students realize the concept of acceptable limits for generating income from technological innovations in various sectors of digital economics. In addition, the article presents the advantages and disadvantages of such concepts as variability and alternative education, its national character, continuous education, and intercultural communication.
