Problem setting. One of the distinguishing features of the modern era is the marginal and dubious nature of explanations of complex social realities. Cognitive and symbolic specifics of conspiratorial thinking, marked by a sense of predictability, regularity and explicit simplicity, contribute to the development and dissemination of political mythology. Recent research and publications analysis. In recent decades, concepts have been actively used in the body of social science works: paranoid style, conspiratorial narrative, power discourse, unstable ontologies, crisis of production of meanings, conspiratorial worldview. The latest scientific search takes place in the context of abandoning the strict framing of conspiracy theories in favor of a pluralistic approach that combines epistemic, existential and social dimensions of the subject. Paper objective. The aim of the article is to try to identify the features of conspiracy in the latest conditions of cultural development. Paper main body. The article shows the features of modern conspiracy theories in terms of its paradoxical stability, information and cognitive attractiveness. It is emphasized that the conspiracy discourse determines the peculiarities of the conspiratorial mentality, influencing, in particular, the existential aspects of human life. The consequences of the influence of conspiracy theories can be not only feelings of alienation from politics or radicalization of society, but also the blurring of semantic boundaries between conspiracy theories and more respectable forms of socio-political criticism. Such features make it possible to distinguish positive and critical understandings of conspiracy theory, as well as to outline the main vectors in further theoretical studies of conspiracy theories. Among the distinctive features of conspiratorial meaning formation are the cultural-temporal universality, the paradoxical combination of irrational and rationalist ways ofperception, and others. The peculiarities of conspiratorial thinking in comparison ...

Problem setting. The contemporary sociopolitical reality reflects high dynamics of the cultural development and features uncertainty, insecurity unexpectedness, transfer and fragmentation. These conditions transform the traditional views on social and political practices, revisiting individual understanding of identity. To describe cultural process peculiarities, social and humanitarian sciences actively use the performative approach, which allows researchers to focus on the underlying force of human actions and the way they generate cultural senses. While studying social and political actors a major theme is the phenomenon of masses, which testifies to significant changes in political discourse, in particular, the destruction of the traditional channels of political expression. Recent research and publications analysis. In today's conditions of the crisis in interpretation there is a trend to go beyond the meaning and address trans-semiotic elements of the human existence. The process of rethinking the mankind discursive interpretation and sense genesis opens a way to corporeality theories that enable to reproduce subjective experience in the performative paradigm. The study of performatives and their potential to create socially and politically meaningful effects is a promising and insufficiently developed field of research. Paper objective. The research discusses the phenomenon of corporeality as a new practice of political self-expression within the performative approach. Paper main body. The study is devoted to the contemporary research into the problems of corporeality and its role in the political discourse. Structural and post-structural philosophy understands reality as a text and, respectively, focuses on the communicative role of the language and the interpretational nature of human-world relations. This semiotic discourse substitutes the sense with meaning. It was shown that the discourse approach, based on the link between the world and the language, interpretations, exchange of meanings and their ...

It is shown that the origins of the modern concept of human rights as the leading political and legal doctrine are in the horizon of the formation of philosophical knowledge. The ideas of the thinkers of antiquity, the Middle Ages and the New Age regarding freedom, equality, justice and human dignity, which constitute the basic principles and values of the concept of human rights, are considered. The genesis of human rights occurs in the context of the development of natural-legal thinking and the search for a balance between indi- vidual happiness and public good. It is proved that modern ideas about human rights are based on philosophical concepts, the quintessence of which was the proclamation of the autonomy and freedom of the individual.

The article makes sense of the phenomenon of victim construction by means of transmedia communication. The first part is devoted to the role of media technologies in the modern biopolitical space. It is emphasized that control over communication within the framework of new power paradigms is carried out by a netocratic elite – a new form of cyber-technological superpanoptism. The importance of media logic in the new system of social relations and worldview models is shown. In the second part, based on the study of the phenomena of deep mediatization, the specificity of cultural grass and sacrifice as media constructs, products of information technologies designed to reproduce biopolitical imperatives is understood.

In this article, an attempt is made to ontological relations with subjective realities using spatial rhetoric, it is about understanding and continuity of traumatic experience. Understanding is considered as evidence, which is provided by the locative participation of the subject in the event. The subject receives the status of a witness in the performative space of damage (avant-garde art, actionism, litigation). An artist or juror is able to witness the trauma by providing a discourse of justice through the language of non-semantic signs.

The article is devoted to understanding cultural trauma as a biopolitical concept. Biopolitics is presented as a system of certain strategies in relation to human corporeality, the basis of which is the economic power of capital. The key concepts conceptually included in the semantic field of biopolitics - bare life, homo sacer, state of exception and others - are considered. Cultural trauma is comprehended on the basis of understanding the specificity of a victim in contemporary culture. The discourse of trauma transforms sacredness into grief, guilt and resentment. Accordingly, the victim unites the collective body not through purification, but through involvement in violence as a traumatic event. The sacrifice is conceptualised as a biopolitical tool, contradictorily suggestive of humanist pathos and biopolitical exploitation.

Instead of ideological and class identity in modern society, the identity of agents is formed on such grounds as employment, consumerism, precarity, vaccination, somatic features. Social differentiation along these lines gives no less reason for conflicts. In search of a solution to social contradictions, an appeal is made to the concept of natural rights and the paradigm of performativity, which bring to the fore the physical body in the mode of its presence and natural desire. The multiple non-collective communities into which today's society is disintegrating are spontaneous alliances of single agents. Agents publicly manifest their individual needs and the right to meet them.

Perhaps, it is this feature of individual and public opinion that makes it possible to develop law and the triumph of legal justice on the whole.

The authors ascertain the main features of adaptation of a man to the conditions of the information society. There was applied the whole complex of philosophical, general scientific and specific methods inherent in philosophical research in their interconnection and complementarity. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of systemic and structural-functional analysis. As a result of the study, it was ascertained that a man as the highest social value accumulates and fixes in the main forms of his life the interconnection of material and spiritual, which reflects in an integral form life as the objective reality, where his interconnected interests, moral values, ideals, his culture, religious preference and subjective understanding of the meaning of life are revealed. The spreading of information technology is accompanied by the virtualization of all spheres of human life. The main social problems of adaptation of a person to the changing conditions of the information society that are proposed to consider are as follows: the problem of linguistic communication, which forms the core of informatization, and the problem of information security of an individual. It is substantiated that new paradigms form new perceptions by a person of his/her place in relation to the information environment and, accordingly, a new awareness of oneself and his/her own rights and freedoms. Specificity of the modern information environment leads to the correction of existing natural and social mechanisms of a person's adaptation and the development of new ones. Information technologies, having become the core of the modern civilization, change not only the quality and content of the life of a modern human, they threaten to transform the very way of his/her existence in the world. The transition to the information society can have unpredictable consequences. Therefore, the problems of formation of
information society, the development of adequate to the objective reality methods and means of its life are the collective concern of all mankind.
