У нашій роботі досліджені українські культурні ідентичності в умовах глобалізації,визначені сумісні характеристики тотальних, холістичних та полікультурнихідентичностей. Поняття тотальної та холі стичної ідентичності говорить про різнірівні цілісності та фрагментованості сучасної глобалізованої ідентичності. Холі стичнаідентичність характеризується єдністю аксіологічних та естетичних параметрів,розчиненню ідеальних конструктів у повсякденному, тотальна характеризуєтьсяпротиріччями між ідеалом та його втіленням, цінностями та їхнім втіленням. Тобто вглобалізованих ідентичностях ми можемо говорити про різні рівні синтезу такомунікативних практик.Титарь Е. В. ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИЯ И УКРАИНСКИЕ КУЛЬТУРНЫЕ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ:ПОЛИЦЕНТРИЗМ, ТОТАЛЬНОСТЬ, ХОЛИСТИЧНОСТЬ В нашей работе исследованыукраинские культурные идентичности в условиях глобализации, определены сущностныехарактеристики тотальных, холистических и поликультурных идентичностей. Понятиятотальной и холистической идентичности говорят о разных уровнях целостности ифрагментирования современной глобализированной идентичности. Холистическаяидентичность характеризуется единством аксиологических и эстетическихпараметров, растворением идеальных конструктов в мире повседневного. Тотальнаяидентичность характеризируется противоречиями между идеалом и его воплощением,ценностями и их воплощением. Таким образом в глобализированных идентичностях мыможем говорить о разных уровнях культурного синтеза и разных коммуникативныхпрактиках.Ключевые слова: идентичность, коммуникация, тотальность, холизм,поликультурность, глобализация, тотальная культурная идентичность, холистическаякультурная идентичность.Tytar Olena GLOBALIZATION AND UKRAINIAN CULTURAL IDENTITY:POLYCENTRICITY, TOTALITY, HOLISTICS Space and time in the functioning of identity arenot just a postmodern "space - time compression," or a specific sequence of events and "places",space and time are filled with events that got the valued differentiation. Based on theseaxiological characteristics the acceleration of time and centring operate near the determined keylocations of space. Appear fuller and less filled with social meaning social plane, space, socialattention and social neglect, resulting in information and social streams, creating new forms ofcentering. For example, the concept of Hannah Arendt draws attention to the fact that the stateloses the capacity for such alignment, creating an "empty political space" that is deprived formerinfluence on forming and functioning of cultural identitiesThe concept of "individualized society" Z. Bauman is based on the consideration of culturalidentities as a postmodern individualized, they survived the dismantling of the collective is theinstitutionalized framework of finding individuality. But, in our view, is not only dismantling ofsocial institutions, including the state, but also the formation of new social institutions, moreflexible than the old. Such institutions can be called (M. Castells terms) social and informationflows, which are not less inclusive than the old institutions. In addition, our study has receivedconsiderable attention to the fact that for a holistic identity is not specific blurring concept of thecenter, and the existence of many centers - polycentricity. Here we use the metaphor of thenetwork society in which there are a lot of sites and centers of gravity, and the decline in thevalue of one of the centers of communication in general, leads to a decline in the integral part ofsuch a communication network.In our work Ukrainian cultural identity in the conditions of globalization is analyzed, definedthe essential characteristics of a total, holistic and multicultural identities. The concept of totaland holistic identity talk about different levels of integrity and fragmentation of modernglobalized identity, about the different types of compounds of these identities with internal andexternal communication, the different levels of its functioning in social integration. Holisticidentity is based on simultaneously, which provides the current level of technology andcommunications, and cyclically of the information society, correlate with the natural cycles.Total identity is based on the fragmentation and merging fragments of space-time in a specificsequence, which depends on the alignment of social (social needs, the rate of social processes).Total identity replaces the cyclic compound ephemeral time (instantaneous) and the eternal.Holistic identity characterized by unity axiological and esthetic parameters, dissolution idealconstructs in the everyday world. Total identity is characterized by contradictions between theideal and its embodiment, values and their realization. Thus, in the globalized identities we cantalk about different levels of cultural synthesis and different communicative practices.Key words: identity, communication, totality, holism, multiculturalism, globalization, totalcultural identityl, holistic cultural identity.

The article analyzes the influence of exponential development on the transformation of the modern Ukrainian university. The most significant, interdependent and influencing factors that lead to the creation of new models of the modern university's existence are singled out. Provided is a systematic analysis of the most acute problems inherent in Ukrainian universities in the context of the philosophy of exponential development which requires the university to continuously strive for excellence and maximum involvement in innovation and technological and socio-economic processes.Also, specific steps are suggested that will allow Ukrainian universities which do not meet the challenges of exponential development today, to overcome a deep mental, organizational, financial and innovation crisis.

Conceptualization of the phenomenon of interaction as a key model for the existence of an international policy of peace in the context of the doctrine of universal communication phenomena is carried out. Co-evolutionary strategy for interaction is presented as an idea of co-evolution, which provides for the harmonious condition of nature and society, for a stable development of environment, in which the person resides. While all the planes of this environment, each at its own level, are demonstrating the linkage with other planes. It is shown that universal communication is evident in the natural environment, but disunity is sometimes evident in the human social world. Co-evolutionary principle of the international community provides the opportunity for equivalent partnership and cooperation. Fragmentation is the result of purposeful destruction of the infinitely varied naturally fitted connections and relationships between people. This breaks the symmetry of the universal communication phenomena. ; Проводится концептуализация феномена взаимодействия как ключевой модели для существования международной политики мира в контексте доктрины универсальных коммуникационных явлений.

Хотя все плоскости этой среды, каждая на своем собственном уровне, демонстрируют связь с другими самолетами. Показано, что универсальная коммуникация проявляется в естественной среде, но разобщенность иногда проявляется в человеческом социальном мире. Со-эволюционный принцип международного сообщества дает возможность для равноправного партнерства и сотрудничества.

The paper reveals the features of sociological theorizing offered by classical sociology, including M. Weber's concept. The thematic directions that became central to the German scholar's sociology are identified: modernization, rationalization, legitimization, etc.; their genesis is analyzed from the point of view of the philosophical (Baden School of Neo-Kantianism) and sociological (G. Simmel's concept of cultural forms) studios. It is emphasized that rationalization, which was first considered by M. Weber, becomes a cross-cutting theme in sociology up to the end of the twentieth century. Further development of the concept of rationalization takes place within the communicative turn, associated with the name of J. Habermas. The concept of constructing the social, taking into account the meaning that the author puts into his actions, becomes the first attempt of theoretical synthesis in the process of overcoming the methodological crisis in sociological science. M. Weber's sociology offers a departure from the "container approach" in the analysis of society, which was later realized within the world-systemic (A. G. Frank, I. Wallerstein, J. Arrighi, etc.) and synthetic (M. Archer, P. Bourdieu, E. Giddens, P. Sztompka, etc.) concepts. The problematic of a bureaucratization, formulated by M. Weber in the early twentieth century to describe the processes of formation of the modern state, acquires new relevance today in connection with the expansion of the "bureaucratic spirit" to commercial enterprises, built according to the network logic. The tendencies of (self-)management on the part of employees, which are accelerating due to the transition to the remote form of work. The author shows how processes of legitimation, which are necessary for the perception of changes in professional activity, simultaneously contribute to the fragmentation and disintegration of local social spaces.

The information support system of the agencies of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine has been characterized; and approaches to the construction of corresponding systems of other countries of the world have been considered. The author has presented propositions for improving the information system of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine with the purpose to increase the efficiency of the fiscal agencies by the criterion of the time of optimization and processing of information. The author has offered to create a unified state information platform (operating system), which will store integrated databases of all government agencies that carry out tax control in Ukraine.

Such steps will ensure the confidentiality of information, the reliability of its storage and the continuous operation of the system of e-administration of taxes. Particular attention is paid to the need to create the Information Code of Ukraine, the development and adoption of which will solve the problem of overcoming contradictions in legislative and other normative and legal acts, ensure unity and non-fragmentation of regulatory scope. The structure of the new Code is offered. ; Охарактеризовано систему інформаційного забезпечення органів Держав­ної фіскальної служби України та розглянуто підходи до побудови відповідних систем інших країн світу.

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 ...

Since the development of human history, the drive for a better life has been a powerful driving force for the development of new territories and the denationalization of different cultures and peoples. Not only did migration reflect the demands of society and the percentage of its perception of the state of the world order, but it also reflected the fundamental shortcomings of the world order system. International migration is an important way of developing host countries. Therefore, one of the main tasks of European countries is to identify from this large-scale phenomenon the most positive results and to minimize its negative effects. The spread of migration processes is primarily influenced by current problems of socio-economic development in the world. The authority of migration among the public has been significant for several centuries, but by the end of the twentieth century migration processes were not so self-contained and were not of a sustainable nature, comparing them with the present. At the end of XIX - beginning of XX century, migration became a satellite of industrial society. By the early twentieth century, migration was characterized by "governed" by government orders, and its main manifestations were the conquering methods, in particular, the colonization of territories, the slave trade, and so on. Independent migration of people in space limited the lack of transport facilities. Today's attempts at state regulation of migration processes do not produce the expected results. Migration policies of the states are characterized by fragmentation of administrative actions, insufficiency of both the resource and the legislative base. In contrast to previous centuries, modern migration is not subject to authoritarian forms of influence, it requires the creation of a system of governance in the form of an independent social institution, able to solve new problems in fundamentally new ways. The rational control over migration processes, creation of preconditions for attracting the necessary human ...

The initial analysis of the state of research of the presented area of scientific intelligence allows to state that the problem of legislative support for the application of operational-search measures in the context of the updated criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine was studied by scientists and practitioners fragmentarily, since the absolute majority of scientific works published after the 2012 Criminal Code came into force, concerned organizational and tactical features of the application of the mentioned measures in the detection and cessation of certain types of crimes, comparisons between such measures and silent investigative (search) actions, attempts to systematize legal instruments that temporarily restrict human rights and freedoms. The analysis of the provisions of national legislation and international legal acts concerning the application of operational-search measures by units of the National Police in the fight against crime in Ukraine. Variety and multi-vector of legal acts are established, which directly or indirectly regulate legal and organizational principles of application of operative-search measures. Separate provisions on the legal regulation of operational and search measures are contained in the Constitution of Ukraine, international treaties and acts, codes, laws of Ukraine. The fragmentation of legal acts, which fragmentarily regulate the legal framework for the use of operational and search measures, adversely affects the efficiency of the use of the results obtained in the field of crime prevention, which can be solved by unifying their provisions in order to uniformly apply non-public methods in accordance with European legal standards. The importance of taking into account the precedents of international jurisprudence in the organization of operational and search activities by units of the National Police is emphasized. It is concluded that the effectiveness of regulatory support for the use of operational-search measures by operational units of the National Police depends ...

Constitutionally guaranteed validity of international treaties, ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the fact that they are appeared to be a part of national legislation determines the relevance of international legal approaches in the development of national environmental legislation. The article analyses the international environmental monitoring regulations in order to implement their provisions into Ukrainian environmental legislation. The authors propose the new ways of the environmental science development and amendments to the national legal regulations in the field of environmental monitoring.

The article investigates European approaches to legal regulation of relations on the implementation of environmental monitoring in order to adapt national environmental legislation to the legislation of the European Union and to eliminate deficiencies and gaps. The purpose of this article is to study the legal nature of environmental monitoring with the help of sources of international environmental law and environmental law of the European Union, cooperation of the countries of the world with the participation of Ukraine.

The objective of this article is making proposals regarding the consideration of European legal and international approaches to the regulation of relations on the implementation of environmental monitoring in the current legislation of Ukraine.

The methodological basis of the study comprises general scientific and special cognitive methods: formal-logical and logical-semantic methods, a method of system analysis and a method of interpretation of legal norms are used. These methods application contributes d to substantiating proposals for improving the provisions of the current Ukrainian legislation in the field under study.

The transformation of spiritual and educational practices in contemporary culture is analyzed. Spirituality is considered as the basis of modern Ukrainian identity. It is proved that Ukrainian post-colonial discourse is not possible without the interaction of the modern and postmodern identity type. This is a critique of the modern and postmodern way of seeing the problem. Cultural and social consequences of the first stage of the information society, the first stage of globalization are: internal fragmentation of the workforce of information producers and the rest; social exclusion of many individuals and entire segments of society. A new stage in the development of identities should consolidate society. It turns out that the dialogic nature of communication forms identity as knowledge of the nature of its own Self, ready to respond to the challenges of the Other, thus not only my identity is formed, but my place in the world, my spirituality, the limits of my values. The modern type of identity is associated with a nation-state, which tries to maximize its influence, the modern type of identity produces a colonial world, where there is a clear division into metropolis and colony, a special type of colonies are internal colonies. In the case of Ukraine, we can see the complex combination of external and internal colonialism, and the particular danger of internal colonialism lies in the fact that it remains unclear to the end who conqueror, but who is subdued. The postmodern identity type in the Slobozhanschyna culture is connected with the rethinking of modernity, it is not so critical, but unifying. Human beings in a globalized world must rely on the renewal of humanistic ideals, a sense of home and security. A new ethics is proposed based on the principles of freedom, democracy and respect for every individuality that extends a new understanding of spirituality in connection with national culture and national outlook.
