Lady Gaga as a postmodern cultural icon manipulating with images and symbols has created in her "performances" a kind of new "post"-postmodern feminism, in which she followed the line of feminine anarchists – in politics, arts and culture. "Gaga ideology", which in fact "embraces a void", nowadays is vividly presented across alternative forms of popular culture with the subsequent great impact on the generation of millennials.
The problematization of the classical concepts in the postmodern philosophy has created some definite challenges that stipulate the development of the "Theory" in its interdisciplinary conceptual meanings and practical applications. The latter demands a certain "list" of the new notions and implies requirements for theorists to reflect the scientific diversity without reducing it to any kind of "theoretical unity". For these reasons the purpose of this article is the conceptual reconstruction of the notion of the conflict in the specific postmodern context of its sociocultural, political and ethical meanings and senses. The methods of the research are mainly based on the principle of the anthropocentric paradigm, which stipulates the use of the interdisciplinary comparative-critical approaches and social construction methods in the general problematic field of postmodernism. While analysing conflict theories such schools of philosophy as existententialism, phenomenology and pragmatism are considered to be valid in the descriptions of both the actual conditions of the individual human existence and abstract human qualities. The practical aspects of this paper involve the empirical representation of the principles of the value and the sense in the problematic aspects of conflict resolution with the stress on the concepts of the discoursive communication. The obtained results allow to come to the conclusion that the most influential transformations are connected with such postmodern conflict problems as asymmetrical threats and unstable security architecture. The latter proves that the methodological approaches to conflictology should be evaluated from the point of presumably successful resolutions against the background of different spatial and temporal factors, which, in its turn, means creating new administrative modalities of conflict management. It should be stressed that in the context of the conflictological tendencies of the globalizing societies the special place should be occupied by the principles of K.- O. Apel's discoursive ethics and M. M. Bakhtin's doctrine of the "responsible dialogism". Nowadays political approaches cannot be effective in the conflict resolutions without the classical ideals and the absolutes, without the impact of the Pathos, which means implied significance of the "relatively Utopian" ideas and their application in the conflict resolution, the potential possibilities of their realization in the conflict situations.
The book considers the various ways the American servicewoman has been represented throughout the 20th century, and how those representations impact the roles she is permitted to inhabit. With the primary focus on the American case Emerald Archer also introduced a comparative element showing integration of women into the military in other countries including Great Britain, Canada and Israel.
The aim of the article is considered the conceptual reconstruction of the relationship between postmodern feminism and the notional field of contemporary neoliberalism. The analytical methods used were based on the assertion that the complexity of textual interventions requires interdisciplinary approaches. The findings and results of the research carried out accentuate that COVID-19 has contributed greatly to the contradictions of the current global landscape in the contexts of neoliberalism and feminism. Feminism asserts as a discourse that the conceptual apparatus of neoliberalism has not served its goals; in fact, postfeminism has not yet chosen its route in the neoliberal context. The assumption that women cannot win their "vindication battle" in the world where "the game is fixed" continues to be taken as an axiom, even though the coronavirus pandemic causes some observers to proclaim the return of influential governments and social contracts. The latter accentuates the role of female representation in neoliberal social, cultural, and political discourses at the global level.
This article identifies the foundations of Pope Francis' vision or position on the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine and, at the same time, establishes its correspondence with the doctrinal principles of the Catholic Church. The methodology responds to the qualitative research approach, in this sense, theoretical and analytical tools were used and combined, such as: hermeneutics and documentary research techniques. We proceeded to an exhaustive analysis of all the Pope's public interventions during a period of one year from February 24, 2022, and compared his position with the doctrinal position of the Catholic Church. It is concluded that the Pope's speech has been equivocal in some of its formulations, but doctrinally attached to the dictates of the Church.
The review deals with two books, which have caused much debate all over the world, the two authors who are much spoken about – with respect and disrespect, with recognition and contempt. "COVID-19: The Great Reset" by K. Schwab and T. Malleret claims that there has been nothing like COVID-19 in the modern history and points out that this kind of an existential crisis can facilitate introspection that leads to transformations. The supposed transformations are investigated by the authors both in macro categories and micro terms. The world is claimed to enter the chaotic crisis leading to the state of "uncertainty". As a result, no extraordinary scenario can be excluded concerning geopolitical reset, ecological reset, technological reset and micro transformations with the individual reset. K. Schwab's opponent, A. Jones, in his "Great Reset and the War for the World" proves that Schwab's Great Reset represents the global elite's intention of conspiracy in enslaving humanity both on the macro and micro levels. A. Jones is sure that K. Schwab's strategy is to use the Great Reset for achieving an unprecedented control over the global problems and individuals' lives. K. Schwab's and A. Jones' opposing arguments are interesting and persuasive. They both have many supporters and opponents of their theses all over the world.
