FOREWORD

The 21st century is the century of transformative processes not only in economic and social life, but also in the sphere of culture, which are taking place in almost all areas. The economic situation and the development of market relations in modern Russia were one of the reasons for the crisis state of a significant part of the country's population, deprived of the possibility of a full-fledged economic, political and cultural life.

Today, economic, social, and cultural programs in Russia should be evaluated according to a single criterion: how much they contribute to or hinder its national success in the 21st century, its entry into the ranks of the most developed and influential countries in the modern world.

At the beginning of the new millennium, all Russian life should be based on foundations of social existence that are different than before, deeply spiritual, valuable, and humanitarian in nature.

The formation of a humanistic soil as the basis for the socio-cultural reformation of Russia is just beginning in difficult conditions, when we are faced with the consequences of the political, economic, cultural crises experienced by society, the consequences of deep conflicts between culture and social relations in the country.

The ideas of cultural reformation and humanization are gradually being established in a society in which the movement of the social system from its previous state to a new one is carried out through the disintegration and growth of a socially maladapted personality, the criminalization of the situation, and individual national conflicts.

The turn of the XX-XXI centuries is characterized by an unprecedented surge of creative ideas, initiatives and movements in the field of culture, education, art, the search for ways of productive interaction and cooperation of various age, ethnic, professional and other socio-cultural groups and communities. The activation of these processes in Russian society is largely due to the liberation of the enormous internal creative energy of a person, fettered for a long period by ideological dogmas, prohibitions and persecution, the transition from loud declarations and slogans about "eternal friendship and brotherhood", "freedom of creativity", "freedom of speech » to a truly open and honest cultural pluralism, the formation of a new mentality of all segments of the population through its participation in various types of socio-cultural activities.

Each country is characterized by a variety of types, forms, technologies of socio-cultural activities.

In each of the national-cultural communities, a special, specific type of specialist in the socio-cultural sphere is in demand. That is why the development of foreign experience requires not only selectivity, but also a strictly objective assessment, since behind it there are traditions that are in many ways different from Russian ones. The task is to enter European civilization without breaking away from one's own roots, national and cultural characteristics. Turning today to the historical past of our country, trying to the best of our ability to revive, return part of the rejected, but not lost, Russian culture, we are, as it were, trying anew to comprehend and traverse the long path that Russia has traveled from the age-old patriarchal, house-building way of life to the establishment of its own worthy social -cultural status in the world community.

The historical and modern experience of social and cultural activity in Russia is not only of exceptional scientific and documentary value, but also contains the richest didactic material for training a specialist in the field of culture, education, art, and leisure.

The authors of the textbook, offered to the reader's attention, faced a far from simple task of summarizing, formulating and substantiating the most fundamental patterns of socio-cultural activities carried out on a professional and non-professional basis, identifying the direction vectors of scientific research in this area, identifying the essence and meaning of existing author's schools, methods, ideas and recommendations introduced into practice. With good reason, we can today talk about the constructiveness, innovative nature, social significance of the experience gained by higher and secondary specialized educational institutions in this relatively new branch of pedagogical knowledge.

This experience testifies to the pronounced desire of young science to take a strong methodological position that is adequate to the situation existing in the country and in individual regions, to contribute to the development and implementation of a scientifically based and balanced socio-cultural policy, to make vigorous efforts to improve the quality of training and the coefficient of social the demand for specialists who own modern technologies.

A number of documentary references contained in the second section of this textbook confirm the priority of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts in introducing the specialty “Socio-cultural activity”1 into the educational and pedagogical circulation and, in this regard, creating the department of the same name in April 1991. Scientific specialty 13.00.05. - Theory, methodology and organization of social and cultural activities - included in the nomenclature of specialties of scientists of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation by Order of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation No. 17/4 of January 25, 2000. Focused on meeting the needs of the modern socio-cultural sphere, the new scientific and educational specialty, in essence, laid the foundation for the training at the national level of a qualitatively new generation of professional, including scientific and pedagogical, personnel in a wide range of areas and specializations.

We express our gratitude to colleagues, representatives of the largest scientific schools of universities of culture and art - A.I. Arnoldov, M.A. Ariarsky, T.I. Baklanova, A.D. Zharkov, V.A. Maksyutin, V.A. Reasonable, V.S. Sadovskaya, Yu.A. Streltsov, V.E. Triodin, V.V. Tuev and others - for active support of the concept and program developed by us in the early 90s as basic documents in the specialty "Social and cultural activity", as well as for the advice and recommendations expressed in the process of preparing this textbook for reprinting.

Subject, objectives and sources of the course

As a branch of scientific knowledge and an academic subject, socio-cultural activity has all the necessary characteristics inherent in any independent specialty: an object, a subject, methods of study, a categorical and conceptual apparatus, author's schools that have developed in different regions of the country, an exclusive anthology, its own system of laws, principles and rules. Unlike other areas of cultural studies, socio-cultural activity is a wide area of ​​modern pedagogical knowledge, which has direct access to such fundamental concepts as culture, social pedagogy, socialization, social education, social environment, society, etc.

The system of social and cultural education today is faced with the need to sharply increase the requirements for its quality. The training of specialists for the socio-cultural sphere should be based in the existing conditions not so much on narrow individual practical experience as on a solid foundation of scientific knowledge. The scale, volume and content of such training are subject to scientifically substantiated socio-cultural measurements.

A large detachment of managers, teachers, directors, technologists of various profiles, acting as organizers of social and cultural activities, coordinators of industry, federal, regional and local programs will have to participate in the further revival and development of Russian culture and art. The solution of the vital problems of Russian families, children, adolescents, regional problems in the historical, cultural, environmental, socio-psychological, religious and other spheres that are common to various social groups largely depends on the level of their qualifications and the efforts made.

It is they who will have to make a worthy contribution to blocking and neutralizing possible sources and centers of social and interethnic tension, to the socio-cultural rehabilitation of strata and groups of the population in dire need of social protection and support, to creating a favorable environment for the development and implementation of socio-cultural activity and initiatives of the population in the field of leisure.

The difficulties of professional training in the specialty "Socio-cultural activity" are due to a number of circumstances. These include, first of all, the need for a deep understanding and appropriate adjustment of the content and technology of socio-cultural education of specialists in this field, its adaptation to the new realities that are emerging in the cultural life of society. This process implies not only the constant improvement of non-traditional specializations that have appeared in recent years, but also the development and deepening of the socio-culturological and pedagogical components in other specialties traditional for universities of culture and art in the field of folk art, library work, film photography, directing mass theatrical programs, etc. Finally, we are talking about ensuring an organic relationship of cultural and pedagogical training of specialists with the teaching of social, humanitarian and psychological-pedagogical disciplines and, which is especially important today, with the concepts of modern cultural studies, with the idea of ​​the national cultural revival of Russia.

The urgency of solving these problems is determined by a number of reasons. One of them is the need to overcome the fragmentation of organizational and pedagogical efforts in the formation of new specializations, to eliminate conservatism that hinders the smooth transition to new educational technologies. The other is connected with the requirements of expanding the boundaries of professional training for future specialists, obtaining by them the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for their own livelihood, career growth, psychological stability, and spiritual development.

In a certain sense, socio-cultural activity is a socially and pedagogically organized guarantor of the preservation, development and development of cultural values, creating a favorable basis for socio-cultural innovations and initiatives. While maintaining continuity, socio-cultural activities accumulate the experience and traditions of culture, enlightenment, education and leisure in Russia.

The social significance of this academic discipline lies in providing conditions for the further development of modern pedagogical and cultural science, strengthening the relationship between research and educational work in universities of culture and art, and the continuity of educational and research activities.

The subject "Socio-cultural activity (history, theoretical foundations, spheres of implementation, subjects, resources, technologies)" is by its nature a pedagogical and by its essence an integrative academic discipline. It arose and is developing at the intersection of pedagogy, cultural studies, history, sociology, psychology, technology, economics and management of the socio-cultural sphere.

The subject of the course is the study of history, theoretical foundations, areas of implementation, subjects, resource base and modern technologies of social and cultural activities.

The purpose of studying the course is to prepare students for professional activities in the socio-cultural sphere, to equip them with special knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of organizing pedagogically oriented socio-cultural activities, to help them realize its role as an important social phenomenon, to give them the skills to analyze practical experience and search for innovative solving problems of the socio-cultural sphere, independent work on reference sources, documents and publications. The listed knowledge, abilities, skills, special professional qualities, formed on their basis, form the basis of the activities of future managers, teachers, technologists - organizers of work with social and cultural communities and groups that differ in demographic characteristics.

The main objectives of the course:

1) acquaintance with the historical experience of the emergence and development of socio-cultural activities in Russia, the study, comprehension and generalization of socio-cultural processes in the field of education, education, art;

2) acquaintance with the theoretical and methodological foundations of socio-cultural activities, mastering the professional conceptual apparatus of a specialist in the socio-cultural sphere, the patterns of using known and new concepts and definitions in accordance with modern conditions;

3) characteristics of the most important spheres of public socio-cultural practice, which reflect the activities of numerous age, social, professional, ethnic, confessional groups of the population, as well as a system of spiritual values, norms, orientations and relations characteristic of modern society;

4) identification and study of a real-life system of socio-cultural institutions (institutions, associations, organizations, etc.) acting as subjects of socio-cultural policy at the federal, regional and local (municipal) levels;

5) formation of ideas about the content of the resource base of socio-cultural activities, acquaintance with the practice of the most effective use of regulatory and legislative documents, information and management support, human resources, technical and financial resources, socio-demographic contingent, moral and psychological factor;

6) disclosure of the diversity and ambiguity of the technological base, the study of the main methods and technologies of socio-cultural activities, the development of practical skills for using the technological potential of the industry in the development and implementation of socio-cultural projects and programs in the field of education, art, leisure, sports, rehabilitation, advertising and other industries.

In accordance with the above tasks, the topics of the textbook are grouped and the introductory part of the textbook presents a brief historical overview of the emergence and development of socio-cultural processes in Russia, social movements and initiatives in the field of education, culture, art, mass leisure, covering the pre-state, state and post-revolutionary periods in life of the country, including the stages of development of the Soviet and post-Soviet society up to the present day.

The first section is devoted to the theoretical foundations of socio-cultural activities, its patterns, the second - gives an idea of ​​the main areas of its implementation. The third section contains a description of the main subjects of socio-cultural activity, the fourth - introduces its resource base. The fifth section introduces the reader to the system of modern socio-cultural technologies that differ in content and functions.

Sources of the course, their brief description

The qualitative certainty of the course lies in its focus on expanding the cultural competence of the population, on its inclusion in the standard network of socio-cultural communication, the formation of people, starting from childhood, the skills of socially useful socio-cultural activities, the organization of full-fledged spiritual and physical development, leisure and creativity.

The source study and educational and methodological basis of the course "Socio-cultural activity" is formed by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education", the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Culture, the federal target program "Development and Preservation of Culture and Art in the Russian Federation" (2001-2005) , National doctrine of education "Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation for 2001-2005", "The concept of modernization of Russian education for the period up to 2010". The Development Strategy of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts for 2003-2007, developed by the teaching staff, determines the progressive development of the university, the conduct of fundamental research in the socio-cultural sphere, the scientific and methodological support of the new generation of educational specialties introduced in recent years and specializations. Textbooks, monographs, scientific literature in the field of history, theory of methodology and organization of various types of socio-cultural activities, the development of professional art and amateur folk art, folklore, folk crafts and crafts, socio-cultural rehabilitation, and other areas provide a high quality of education.

The authors of the textbook relied on archival sources, the results of comprehensive studies of the history of culture, education, socio-cultural movements and initiatives in Russia, an analysis of modern domestic and foreign theory and practice of socio-cultural activities, used data from fundamental and related sciences: pedagogy, philosophy, cultural studies, psychology, sociology, ethics and aesthetics. In addition, the scientific and pedagogical experience accumulated in recent years by teams of scientists from universities of culture and art, a huge detachment of specialists in the socio-cultural sphere, was taken into account. This experience allows us to judge the constructiveness, innovative nature, social significance of today's activities of socio-cultural institutions in the field of education, art, sports, in the field of children's, teenage, family leisure and creativity.

It is assumed that with the accumulation of new scientific data and the methodological enrichment of the educational process, the content of the textbook will be adjusted and supplemented taking into account new trends in the study of historical experience, methodological and theoretical foundations, resource base and modern technologies of socio-cultural activities.

In this regard, it is necessary to single out the humanistic orientation of this course, which contributes to the spiritual and moral development of the future specialist as a tolerant person who knows how to sympathize and be socially active in society. Forming his own civil, professional status, coming into contact with many pain points of today's reality, a specialist in the socio-cultural sphere is called upon to take on the high mission of participating in the noble cause of "educating an active, enterprising, independent citizen, an enlightened, cultured person, a caring family man and a master in his professional business, capable of constant life self-improvement (Selevko GK The concept of self-education // Modern concepts of education. - Yaroslavl, 2000). It is directly related to the responsible functions of social protection, social support and socio-cultural, psychological rehabilitation of the population groups most in need of mercy and care.

As one of the areas of modern pedagogical and culturological knowledge, socio-cultural activity considers as its main object and subject the socio-pedagogical and socio-cultural human environment, possible ways and forms of active influence of this environment on the spiritual development of various social, age, professional and ethnic groups.

The application and development of humanitarian technologies is reflected not only in well-known traditional, but also in new types of socio-cultural activities - socio-cultural management and marketing, advertising and information support and public relations, design, artistic and social design, image-making, etc. .d. Teaching these types of activities, united by a common informational, professional and communicative dominant, determines the main content of modern socio-cultural education.

Socio-cultural activity as a large block of related professions, an academic subject and a branch of scientific knowledge is based on a comprehensive study of historical experience, theoretical foundations, subjects, resource base and modern technologies for organizing various forms and types of life of social communities and a single individual in various socio-cultural regional and national conditions.

The theoretical foundations of the course are subject to the identification of the socio-cultural content of various types of human life, between which its vital, fundamental resources are distributed - time and energy.

The subject of consideration in the course is the socio-cultural context of such types of human activities as life support, socialization, communication, animation and recreation, and each of them assumes the development of a certain amount of knowledge, skills, value orientations and stereotypes of behavior, a set of regulatory and legal criteria based on the appropriate constitutional provision (economic, legal, organizational, etc.).

The content of the textbook is focused on mastering such aspects of knowledge as mastering the richness of the spiritual life of each individual nation, its socio-cultural structure, traditions and social norms of behavior, spiritual goals and values; providing opportunities for equal cultural dialogue and interaction between representatives of various age, social, ethnic, professional and other groups of the population; creation of conditions for interactive communication of people, their inclusion in the world educational, informational, professional, general cultural space.

Due to the fact that the subject area of ​​socio-cultural activity is a combination of the original basis with the synthesis of scientific disciplines associated with it, the following grouping of initial, basic methods and technologies is legitimate:

a) general scientific methods and technologies adapted to the specific conditions of the socio-cultural environment and the tasks of socio-cultural activities (evaluation, diagnostic, research, developing, stabilizing, etc.),

b) special methods and technologies developed by practical experience, subordinated to the most rational achievement of the goals facing cognitive, creative, recreational and other types of socio-cultural activities.

Special methods and technologies, with the help of which the socio-cultural environment is formed, developed and mastered, provide for the use in the most typical conditions of universal means, methods and methods of socio-cultural activity - economic, legal, organizational, pedagogical, psychological and others. In a more expanded form, the methodology (technology) of socio-cultural activity appears to students in the form of a wide range of pedagogically meaningful educational, educational and educational, recreational and health-improving methods, which are constantly replenished and enriched by attracting both historical and modern experience accumulated in sphere of culture, education, art, sports, everyday life and leisure.

In the process of teaching the course, the following are provided: lecture-dialogue, lecture-demonstration, lecture-discussion; seminar-interview, seminar-discussion, seminar - "round table", seminar-auction of creative ideas, etc. Practical classes can be held in the form of a business game, a club of alternative ideas, individual defense of a socio-cultural project in a classroom, in a leisure center, at an enterprise, at a deputy commission, in the form of an educational and creative laboratory, individual lessons, consultations, meetings with heads of cultural institutions, education, arts, leisure, sports, state and public bodies of culture and social protection, scientists, journalists, foreign guests.

Based on the necessary sociological information and an extensive database of methods and technologies used, students prepare essays, control and term papers, perform practical tasks, participate in the development and implementation of various historical, cultural, educational, information-developing, entertainment and gaming, artistic and entertainment, environmental socio-cultural projects and programs.

In the process of studying the course, it is recommended to adhere to the optimal ratio of time for classroom lectures and for group seminars and practical classes in an approximate ratio of volumes of 1: 2 (lectures no more than 40% of the study time, seminars and practical classes up to 60%). For individual work of a student with a teacher on the topics of course projects, methods of socio-cultural design, analysis of the stage of work carried out and design results, 10 hours are provided (according to the curriculum).

The material presented in the program in terms of its content and forms of training sessions (discussion, game, projective, practical, etc.) may vary depending on the intended purpose, the composition of students, the number of hours and other features of the educational process.

The material must also be adapted in relation to the specific features of individual types of education: vocational (pre-university) training through a general education school, college, college, etc.; professional (university) stationary training; professional (university) training in full-time, part-time, part-time departments; professional (university) training in regional branches of the university of culture, including distance learning; professional university training - magistracy and bachelor's degree; postgraduate training in the system of additional professional education.

Introductory part.

FORMATION OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES: HISTORICAL REVIEW

1. The origin of the foundations of education and enlightenment in Russia in the pre-state period

The communal way of the ancient Slavs became the basis of education and enlightenment in the pre-state period. Their pedagogical views were based, as a rule, on such priorities as preparing the younger generation for life in the community, transferring agricultural and handicraft skills; military education for children. A large place in these views was given to moral education, the performance of rituals, the worship of pagan gods, obedience to older members of the community, and veneration of ancestors. The materials of numerous ethnographic studies testify to the presence of everyday rituals among the ancient Slavs, associated with pagan beliefs.

In the Old Russian community, there was a constant process of formation and accumulation of educational experience on the basis of folk pedagogy. Morality and diligence determined its essence. Respect for the mother was the first moral commandment of childhood. Caring for old parents was the basis of traditional folk pedagogy. The folk traditions of family education included customs, ceremonies, rituals. The generalized experience of previous generations, their pedagogical views, mores, beliefs, norms of behavior, habits, supported by public opinion, accumulated in moral, popular-legal and other stereotyped forms of human activity. Traditions played an important role in creating the foundation of labor, moral, aesthetic, physical and religious education. The formation of rituals was inextricably linked with the most important events in the life of a person, clan, community, state.

The educational and pedagogical functions of educational means should be especially emphasized: lullabies, sayings, ditties, fairy tales, legends, traditions, dances that constantly accompanied people's daily lives.

In the X-XIV centuries, the formation of an economically independent small family from a tribal collective takes place: the family is formed as a social institution; forms and methods of education are developed that correspond to new social relations; the means of education are also enriched.

In the 10th century, the preachers of Christianity - the brothers Cyril and Methodius - created the Cyrillic alphabet. Together with the adoption of Christianity in Russia in the 10th century, this served as a powerful stimulus for the spiritual development of society.

New trends in pedagogical thought, in-depth attention to the problems of cognition and learning, the moral improvement of the individual came to Russia already in the 12th century. The ideas of aesthetic education by means of nature, the unity of its aesthetic and ethical aspects, the formation of a sense of pride in the Russian Land, as well as an understanding of the need to link education and enlightenment with the vital interests of man are being developed. A remarkable monument, testifying to the high level of culture and development of enlightenment and educational thought of the times of Kievan Rus, was the Teaching of Vladimir Monomakh.

The Church during this period becomes a stronghold of moral education and enlightenment of the people; great was its influence on all spheres of activity of ancient Russian society, the consciousness and behavior of its members, on the regulation of work, family, leisure life. Christian ideas determined the essence and content of the process of education. The realistic views of our ancestors were combined with illusory ideas about the forces of nature; folk pedagogical views were formed on the basis of Christian teaching and pagan ideas about the forces of nature. In Russia, literacy, the mental development of children, and their preparation for work have long been revered.

The adoption of Christianity, the growth of cultural ties with Byzantium and neighboring countries contributed to the assimilation of the philosophical and pedagogical heritage of antiquity, the enrichment of the pedagogical thought of Ancient Russia.

The defeat of the largest Russian principalities in 1237-1239 and the onset of the Mongol-Tatar yoke were accompanied by the destruction of cultural values ​​and shrines; in the development of the Russian system of education there was a sharp stop. The atmosphere of oppression, fear, deceit, slander had a negative impact on the formation of the moral feelings of the people. People were reduced to a servile state, cruelty in punishment prevailed, ignorance flourished. Old Russian songs, epics convey the general mood of "fear, sadness, longing" that prevailed in Russia at that time.

2. Socio-cultural structure of Russia in the XV-XVII centuries

XV-XVII centuries - a period when feudal relations are intensively developing in Russia. At the same time, the development of enlightenment, the spiritual life of society was negatively affected by the situation of constant political oppression of all sectors of society during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, in the era of the Time of Troubles. Illiteracy was inherent in the majority of the population, dark superstitions spread, and family morals were “coarse”.

Nevertheless, the ideas of the early enlighteners about the original equality of all people made their way. The material base of education is developing. The advent of printing played a colossal role in the enlightenment of not only the boyars, the clergy, but also ordinary people. The opening of the first printing house in Moscow, the role and importance of the first printed "ABC" by Ivan Fedorov, subsequent alphabets and primers in the spread of literacy in the Russian state can hardly be overestimated.

In the historical chronicles of that time we find the first mention of leisure. The concepts of “leisure”, “leisure”, “leisure”, “leisure”, “leisure” characterize the family and everyday life of various estates and social groups.

The attitude towards leisure in Russia on the part of the authorities and especially the church during this period was ambiguous. On the one hand, the orientation of the population towards holiday leisure was actively encouraged. In the sphere of everyday life and work, holidays have firmly established themselves: temple, calendar, labor, family, spring, summer, autumn, winter holidays; on the other hand, a ban is established on "outrages of buffoons", "demonic games", walking with bears, on folk musical instruments; penalties are introduced for "dancing" and loud laughter.

The functions of the family are gradually expanding. Increased attention to family education is manifested in folk art, the writings of educators, and in various “Domostroi”. "Domostroy" of the 16th century was a typical example of a set of everyday rules and instructions in spiritual, social and family life; this document contained the sum of the signs of a patriarchal culture: in the first place was the teaching of "the fear of God, as well as all the virtues, knowledge, humility, good care and homework."

Social status constantly affected the ways and forms of leisure activities for representatives of various classes of the Russian population. At the same time, two tendencies of their holding were pronounced: traditionalism and European innovations. This situation was explained by the existence of stereotypical forms of leisure among the majority of the Russian population (mainly the peasantry) and the introduction of new types of it by representatives of the nobility, oriented to the West.

The charitable functions of the church were expanding, which actively influenced the education of patriotism, "good citizens for the earthly fatherland."

The church community launched an active activity in the field of the development of public education, the organization of schools.

From Byzantium, samples of "hospitals" and "syrup-feeders" were brought. In Russia, similar to the Byzantine Christian-pedagogical and philanthropic institutions were created. Developed "charity", caring for "homeless" children, orphans, children of poor parents. “The rearing of homeless children” became the moral duty of the clergy, which at that time was the educator of the people, its moral support, and charity was seen as a necessary condition for personal moral health. Education was equally accessible to various classes of pre-Petrine Russia. "Common estate" was a characteristic feature of the Old Russian monasteries and the Old Russian school. At the same time, an analysis of various kinds of documents (petitions, warrants, spiritual, etc.), as well as extracts from the "Lives" of Russian saints, makes it possible to draw conclusions about the nature of the development of enlightenment.

The church still regulated the entire spiritual life of society. Thus, the decisions of the church-zemstvo Stoglavy Cathedral (1551) had a significant impact on the cultural and educational sphere.

In 1687, the opening of the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy took place in Moscow, which became the center of education in Russia. The same "hotbed of enlightenment" in Russia was the Kyiv Academy.

3. Enlightenment and the emergence of socio-cultural communities in the XVIII century

The transformations in Russia in the first quarter of the 18th century acquire a comprehensive character. They made a lot of changes in the content of life and leisure of various classes.

The necessary prerequisites for out-of-school education and organized leisure for the masses are emerging. The first Slavic alphabet is being reformed. A new civil alphabet is being created, secular entertaining, educational and scientific literature is being published.

In the 18th century, there were attempts to create a system of public education; plans for the renewal of Russia are born, projects for the education of youth, the creation of a “new breed of people”. The ideas of the humanist philosophers of the Renaissance, the European Enlightenment find their development and application.

Let us turn to the historical experience of Russia in the 17th-20th centuries, to the history of the Russian school.

Schools were under the auspices of the state and the church, which acted as a customer interested in educating not "harmonious" people, but literate and God-fearing parishioners.

The energetic activity of Peter I in the field of education was sustained entirely in the spirit of the early Roman ideal. The main task of educational institutions - from the school of mathematical and navigational sciences, opened in 1701, to "digital schools" and the Academy of Sciences with a gymnasium and a university, established in 1725 - was to train competent "servants of the tsar and the fatherland."

In the XVIII century, the only attempt to realize the desired ideal was embodied in the intention of Catherine II to educate a "new breed of people" from among her subjects. The Institute for Noble Maidens (Smolny Institute), organized by IKBetsky (1704-1795), which tried to embody some of Rousseau's ideas in its activities, remained a monument to the empress's good impulses.

In the 19th century, the foundations of education in antiquity were remembered either by zemstvo figures who advocated universal education, or by public educators, or by the owners of private gymnasiums. P.N. Milyukov rightly remarked: “From the very beginning of its existence, our school has become doubly governmental: in its origin and in its purpose. The school prepared either for the school or for the service.

So, the experience of foreign and domestic schools shows that the contradiction between socialization and individualization was theoretically (more precisely, demagogically) resolved in favor of individualization, and practically, in the conditions of real educational institutions, in favor of socialization. In other words, progressive teachers have always dreamed of educating good people, while the state and non-state schools have invariably focused on the training of good specialists.

For the development of Russian science and education, the importance of the activities of M.V. Lomonosov, who contributed to the creation of Moscow University in 1755, is invaluable.

The split of the Russian Orthodox Church that took place in the 17th century had irreversible consequences. First of all, he influenced the process of "secularization" of culture. This was especially evident in the development of forms of leisure for Russian people in the 18th century. During this period, traditional leisure forms of communication among the peasantry were even more consolidated. Leisure forms of communication and organization of the club type are also developing among the Russian nobility; the specifics of the leisure of the urban "working people", public leisure forms in children, adolescents, and families are manifested.

At the same time, European forms of leisure are widely cultivated. At the initiative of Peter I, assemblies, balls, masquerades are practiced; The Moscow Noble Assembly opens. The role of the king was great in the emergence of new leisure activities: the emergence of noble clubs, salons, etc.

Class affiliation left its mark on the free time spent by the merchants: on the one hand, there is an orientation towards leisure forms of entertainment of the nobility, and on the other hand, the influence of patriarchal peasant traditions is still great. The first merchant clubs appear.

The panorama of leisure activities of the townspeople is wide: amateur theaters are being born, public libraries and museums are being organized.

The reforms of Peter I also affected the area of ​​social charity: Peter I created charitable institutions for the disabled, children, the homeless, and introduced a ban on professional begging. He effectively deprived the church of a monopoly on philanthropy and social charity; created new administrative-state bodies for the state regulation of social processes. Peter's reforms influenced the growth of education of the upper class, but at the same time the number of literate people in the lower class decreased: "Education, having risen qualitatively, decreased quantitatively"1.

Catherine II continued the course towards the development of social assistance to the population. In the second half of the 18th century, the cultural and educational activities of the Russian intelligentsia, which had been formed by that time, also touched other segments of the population and aspects of life: the first club communities, club-type organizations and clubs appeared, and the main directions of their activities were formed.

The activities of the Free Economic Society (since 1765) were launched to disseminate agricultural, medical and other knowledge.

4. Public education movement and leisure in Russia in the 19th - early 20th century

The cultural and educational thought of the 18th century greatly enriched the educational ideas of the first half of the 19th century.

The beginning of a new century in historical science is associated with an intensive overcoming of class narrowness and limitations in upbringing and education: a foundation was laid for women's education.

A new wave of cultural and educational activities of the Russian intelligentsia is associated with the noble period of the liberation movement, which was greatly influenced by the sociocultural, educational ideas and activities of the Decembrists.

In the subsequent historical period, the role of literature in educational, cultural and educational work increased: writers actively defended the universal and national ideas of education, enlightenment, and socialization of the individual in their works. Much attention was paid to the enlightenment of the people and the spread of culture by V.G. Belinsky and A.I. Herzen.

In the first half of the 19th century, the social enlightenment movement acquires new features: new forms of charity are born; there is a "closed" and "open" charity; The first charitable societies are established. Empress Maria Fedorovna made a great contribution to the cause of social charity and charity.

In the second half of the 19th century, the idea of ​​the need to introduce a system of public and private charity in Russia was increasingly developed. One of the objective reasons for this phenomenon was the abolition of serfdom; The reforms of the 1960s greatly influenced the economic and socio-cultural development of society.

In the post-reform period, the education system was restructured. A network of Sunday schools is emerging and expanding in the country. The merit of the zemstvos was the merit of the zemstvos in their creation, truly historical and so far far from being studied.

The process of spreading literacy undoubtedly had an impact on the development of cities, industry, and the growing interest of the masses in culture and education, but it is characterized by ambiguous indicators. Slowly but steadily, the pace of development of education gained momentum. Special out-of-school institutions appeared - People's Houses. They became widespread in the 1990s. In the construction of People's Houses there was a great initiative of cooperatives, rural societies; took part in this zemstvo, treasury, private individuals. By 1914, there were more than 200 People's Houses in Russia, dispersed throughout the country. The main principles of their activities were the absence of coercion, freedom of choice, accessibility, instructiveness and general understanding. There were public libraries at the People's Houses.

The library provided opportunities for the formation of the spiritual world of the individual, its cognitive, ethical, aesthetic qualities, since the reader, if desired, got access to the literature fund, where various branches of knowledge were presented.

In parallel with the People's Houses, folk theaters developed in two forms: professional theaters for the people with a low entrance fee and an accessible repertoire, and amateur theaters. At the beginning of the century, there were about 170 folk theaters, and K. Stanislavsky, L. Sobinov, L. Tolstoy and other famous figures of Russian culture greatly helped their development.

Representatives of the raznochintsy intelligentsia, the liberal bourgeoisie become propagandists of various types of artistic culture, its researchers, collectors of folklore. Folk choirs, drama circles, ensembles are being created everywhere. Cultural and educational activities were carried out by many prominent representatives of the national culture. During this period, the fruitful social activities of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions, the Mighty Handful, an association of Russian composers, fall.

Museums also launched cultural, educational, excursion and lecture activities. Radio and cinema appear. More and more children and adults are involved in sports leisure activities. The number of children's and women's clubs is growing, setting as their goal the pedagogical, sanitary and educational education of parents; there are societies of doctors, local historians, theater and literary figures.

Club institutions did not have literary funds, therefore, in comparison with libraries, their pedagogical activity was built differently. The history of the origin and development of public (not elite type of "English club") club institutions indicates that they arose in the second half of the 19th century as public educational institutions. A number of forms of such institutions are known, which by their nature performed the functions of a public club or a club-type association. These are literacy committees, societies for the promotion of public education, societies for the promotion of education, societies for the dissemination of technical knowledge, societies for intelligent entertainment, guardianship of people's sobriety. All these societies, club by their nature, existed at the expense of philanthropists, voluntary donations, attracting leading scientists and educators to free participation in their activities.

It can be concluded that public club institutions became widespread in pre-revolutionary Russia, and extracurricular educational functions were initially the main ones for them, and they focused on working with adult visitors, which was greatly facilitated by new radical ideas put forward by scientists and teachers - A.U. .Zelenko, S.Tshatsky.

The educational activities of the I.D. Sytin; evening-Sunday schools of the self-education society sprang up everywhere. The House of V.D. Polenov as a center for organizing methodological assistance to factory, village and school theaters. On the wave of the mass club movement, the first legal and underground workers' and social-democratic clubs appeared.

The traditional influence of the church on the content and forms of Russian leisure under the pressure of active social processes and social changes is being seriously tested; the moral influence of the church is gradually weakening.

Many sources point to the expansion of the recreational and developmental functions of art, leisure, and sports at the beginning of the 20th century. Gradually, there is a reassessment of historically established forms and a blurring of the class boundaries of the socio-cultural activities of the nations and nationalities of Russia.

5. Characteristics of the socio-cultural processes of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods

The revolutionary events in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century led to changes in the social orientation of cultural, educational and leisure activities.

The First World War made social patronage in demand and relevant: measures for social protection and assistance to war victims, refugees, infectious patients and other categories of the population in need of support.

On the eve of the overthrow of the autocracy, social and cultural problems affected almost all strata of Russian society.

The February Revolution of 1917 demanded from the new government the development of a socio-cultural policy based on democratic principles. In this regard, the Provisional Government made a number of innovations: political rights were granted to women; democratic trends and trends are reflected in all spheres of social and cultural life and leisure of the Russian population; supported popular initiatives in this area.

Thus, in a short period of time, the number of mass clubs and libraries, social assistance institutions, and press organs increased. The interim government made attempts to reorganize the management of the social sphere, public education, and out-of-school education.

With the October Revolution, the first measures were taken in the country to create and develop a system of political and educational work. In connection with changes in the social structure of society, the social policy of the Bolsheviks was formed in the first post-October months: new bodies for managing education and the social sphere were created.

The ideology of the victorious government was implemented in the field of education, out-of-school education, social and cultural activities.

Decrees of the Soviet state and documents of party congresses and meetings contained a mass of guidelines and directives in the spirit of the new ideology on out-of-school education, the eradication of illiteracy, the organization and activities of political enlightenment and measures for their implementation on the ground. In practice, in the sphere of culture and education, the beginning of a long-term era of establishing ideological diktat was laid.

The methodology of out-of-school education that arose in Russia at the end of the 19th century in the last third of the 20th century was transformed abroad into an independent sphere of social policy - the sphere of out-of-school, non-formal, additional, continued education. However, this methodology has not been properly developed in Russia.

The latest fundamental research in this area, which has a theoretical and methodological nature, is the Encyclopedia of Out-of-School Education by Professor E.N. Medynsky, published in 1923. Since then, studies of out-of-school education, replaced in the 1930s by out-of-school education, have been fragmented and unsystematic. As a result, there was a separation of theory from practice, which became the most serious obstacle to the reorganization of out-of-school educational institutions. New forms and methods of work are being introduced to meet the requirements of the new political system.

The activities of the People's Commissariat for Education, trade unions, Proletkult and other state and public organizations corresponded to the ideological guidelines in the field of education, culture, and leisure of workers. The broad organization of work to eliminate illiteracy also received an ideological coloration.

The civil war contributed to the expansion of ideological prohibitions. There is a process of centralization of control. In 1919-1920, agitprop departments were created under the party organs, and in 1920 - Glavpolitprosvet as the center of all political, educational and educational work in the country. A system of party leadership of this work is being formed through party committees, party commissions, club party factions, etc.

There is a gradual displacement of "soft forms of centralization" (in the words of the leaders of the People's Commissariat for Education) by hard command methods. At the same time, there is the nationalization of trade union, cooperative and other cultural and educational institutions, the strengthening of the dictate and monopoly of the state apparatus.

Mass forms of “education and re-education” are cultivated throughout the country: rallies, political campaigns, mass celebrations, socialist competitions, subbotniks, Sundays, etc. The activities of agitation steamers, agitation trains, agitation wagons, agitation carts, “red yurts” organically fit into this system of ideological education. ”, “Red plagues”, etc.

The economic situation in the sphere of culture is becoming more complicated: in connection with the growth of material and financial difficulties, the depletion of the pre-revolutionary national gold reserves, the approval of the “residual principle” of financing education and culture, the number of schools, libraries, clubs and other cultural and educational institutions is sharply reduced.

In the sectors of culture and education, there was a shortage of personnel due to the selection of employees for extracurricular work on the basis of party and class affiliation. The financial situation of teachers and educational workers was extremely difficult.

Ringing political slogans could not help political educators solve the abyss of such social and economic problems of the Soviet government as the food crisis, famine, epidemics, refugees, prostitution, homelessness, devastation, the wounded and disabled, declassed workers, marginalization of the population, unemployment.

The theoretical and conceptual underdevelopment of social and cultural policy made itself felt. The problems of the social and cultural development of society have acquired particular acuteness. The threat of destruction of culture and cultural heritage has become real. Appeared at this time, "Letters to Lunacharsky" VT. Korolenko and "Untimely Thoughts" by M. Gorky were dictated by anxiety for the fate of Russian culture, the Russian intelligentsia; many of its representatives emigrated. In September 1922, a large group of famous Russian scientists, writers, and public figures was exiled to Germany. Culture, science, education, leisure - the entire socio-cultural life of society was under strict party control, the dictates of the "class approach". A number of press organs, public cultural and educational, charitable societies, committees and commissions are being closed.

The new government is energetically carrying out the socialization of various charitable organizations and their finances, and the nationalization of cultural property. For schools, reading rooms, the premises of parochial schools, lordly estates are transferred.

At the same time, one cannot fail to note the positive results that have been achieved by the new government. A network of political and educational institutions is developing. The work of educational and cultural institutions in the national regions is acquiring characteristic ethnic features.

The network of women's clubs, specific in terms of their work, is gradually expanding in the Central Asian republics.

The family and family policy during this period are characterized by a wide range of extremes: from the destruction of the family to the establishment of rigid family "clips".

During the 1920s and 1930s, the necessary prerequisites were formed for the gradual development of the concept of “political and educational work” into a more logical definition of “cultural and educational work” for the scale and direction of its content, as well as the emergence of terms that are largely adequate to it: “cultural and educational work”. mass work”, “cultural and educational work”, etc.

The main theoretical provisions of out-of-school, political and educational, cultural and educational work during this period were outlined in the works of statesmen and scientists, philosophers, teachers, sociologists: P.P. Blonsky, A. A. Bogdanov, B / O. Borovich, I. Grevs, P.F. Kaptereva, N.K. Krupskaya, V.I. Lenin, A.V. Lunacharsky, A.S. Makarenko, E.N. Medynsky, V.F. Pletneva, M.A. Rostopchina, M.P. Tomsky, L.D. Trotsky, S.T. Shatsky and others.

It is characteristic that, in terms of its content and content, cultural and educational work (as well as later social and cultural activities), in the assessments of contemporaries, was the most important type of pedagogical work, in general and in particular, corresponding to the most stringent pedagogical criteria. It is no coincidence that the positions of most researchers of both that and later time converged on the fact that cultural and educational activities are “pedagogically organized free activities of the population with the aim of educating a comprehensively and harmoniously developed personality”1.

This understanding made it possible to qualify club institutions as a "pedagogical phenomenon of leisure life" (V.E. Triodin). It must be said that the "education of a harmoniously developed personality", borrowed from ancient Greek pedagogy, later became the program goal of the CPSU along with the construction of the "material and technical base of communism." This program provision was used as a final reference point by all Soviet pedagogical institutes engaged in the "communist education" of the people. The essence of this slogan was that all Soviet institutions of public education focused on the socialization of students in accordance with the model set by the directive of the party and government, while the education of a comprehensively developed personality requires free self-realization and self-expression, which were not allowed.

Communist education was proclaimed the main function of Soviet club institutions (as well as libraries). This main application function has been fleshed out as the following functions, not counting the "rest function":

Educational function, due to the fact that the club has become an element of the system of continuous education, where the emphasis is on self-education; education is served by lectures, evenings of questions and answers;

Communicative function - the club as a center of communication, meetings with interesting people, disputes, discussions (club gatherings, club lounges, etc.);

The transformative (cultural and creative) function is the creation of cultural values, which is served by amateur club associations, circles of technical creativity, amateur art groups;

Value-oriented - an association of lovers of cinema, theater, music, where the main task is to distinguish true values ​​from imaginary ones, including the fight against bourgeois "mass culture".

It is significant that in this list of club functions proposed by V.E. Triodyne1, there is no “ideological-educational” or “ideological function”. In fact, the cases listed by V.E. By triodyne, application functions were applied to club institutions in general, regardless of the dominant ideology. They concretized the out-of-school educational function inherent in most socio-cultural institutions.

The peculiarity of the pedagogical process in the club has always been that the educator in it, as a rule, was not a full-time employee, but an asset selected by him, the democratically elected club board. The tone in the club has always been set and is being set by authoritative leaders capable of putting forward constructive programs.

Thanks to the democratic freedom of club activity (which, by the way, is far from always achieved), individualization of the individual is carried out in clubs, which is served by the transformative and value-oriented functions, as well as the socialization of the individual through educational and communicative functions.

Between modern professional socio-cultural activities and cultural and educational work of the 20-30s, historical continuity is preserved, as well as between pre-revolutionary out-of-school education and post-revolutionary political enlightenment. This continuity is determined by the place of cultural and leisure institutions in the structure of industrial society. The increasing leisure time of the youth and the population in general should receive a cultural content. Therefore, the need for cultural and leisure institutions (primarily clubs and libraries) will always be relevant.

Until now, the rich practical experience (forms, methods, organization of club work), accumulated in the Soviet era, remains relevant. With the introduction of the New Economic Policy in the 1920s, there is a certain departure from the principle of centralization and the methods of administrative-command control in the field of culture and education, which were established during the years of war communism. Political enlightenment work was also carried out at private enterprises. The orientation towards the NEP objectively contributed to the development of democratic forms of leadership in the political and educational sphere.

The country was seized by a truly mass movement to organize club circles: general education, production, military, rabkor, physical culture, art, etc.

The performances of the “blue blouses”, “live newspapers”, staged trials, various forms of work with families, children and adolescents were very popular.

During this period, the training of personnel for political educational institutions began, amateur art and library work developed.

In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the struggle for the eradication of illiteracy intensified. This historical stage is marked by mass cultural campaigns. Each of them had its own tasks, stages and results. There were library trips, campaigns to combat drunkenness and hooliganism, and to promote a healthy lifestyle. The trade unions stepped up their cultural and educational work. At the same time, serious deformations and negative phenomena in the cultural, educational and social spheres were gaining strength and growing. The maximum centralization of management is being approved, ideological dictatorship and censorship are intensifying. Club membership is cancelled. In the work of clubs, quite often, to the detriment of the general cultural education of children and adults, unjustifiably great attention is paid to industrial and technical propaganda.

In the 1930s, club building was widely developed, a network of libraries, parks, youth clubs, sectors for working with children, etc. was developing. A start was made on the reorganization of reading huts into rural clubs. Traveling forms of cultural and educational work, olympiads, amateur art shows are gaining popularity.

Against this outwardly prosperous background, the fight against religion is intensifying: monuments of temple architecture are being destroyed; socialist competition is initiated for the "dehydration" of factories, villages, hostels. Bans are being introduced on certain professions, and the fight against "religious pests" is underway. Cultural and educational institutions become active assistants to the party and the state in strengthening ideological control, in the fight against religion, kulaks, and "enemies of the people."

The consequences of the forced collectivization of agriculture actually led to a sanctioned famine in the early 1930s. Militarization of labor is taking place, "labor initiatives", socialist competition, and "shock work" are being developed.

Socio-cultural development in the country was accompanied by both certain achievements and negative processes. The repressive policy of the state was also reflected in the fate of many prominent figures in science, education, culture, art, and religion. The repressions entailed rather serious political, ecological, demographic, social and cultural consequences. The beginning of the “migration of peoples” and its consequences actually led to ethno-psychological and ethno-cultural discrimination.

The everyday manifestations of the cult of personality, command-bureaucratic methods of leadership, "prohibition", and violence against creativity also had negative consequences. Cultural and educational institutions objectively represented an instrument of ideological pressure, an instrument for carrying out a class national war and repressions.

At the same time, the pre-war years were characterized by a significant creative revival: the role of the press, radio and cinema, literature and art was growing in society. The intelligentsia unites in creative unions; state television is born; the first scientific research in the field of cultural and educational activities appeared.

A state-run network of organizations and institutions for the social security of citizens (social security services) has been established in the country.

With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the work of cultural, educational, social institutions could not be suspended: it had to be promptly brought into line with the requirements of wartime.

Cultural and educational work in the Armed Forces of the USSR was an integral part of political work in the Red Army and Navy, a means of patriotic, military, cultural education of personnel, mobilizing them to defeat the enemy. The activities of the front-line, army houses of the Red Army, mobile cultural and educational institutions (camping clubs, libraries, propaganda trains, propaganda machines, propaganda carts, propaganda sledges, propaganda squadrons, propaganda boats) intensified. Among the soldiers of non-Russian nationalities, this work was carried out taking into account the peculiarities of their language and national traditions. Agitation centers were opened at all major railway stations.

Front-line brigades of amateur artists regularly went to the army; their concert activity was often carried out in a combat situation.

During the war years, the Nazis barbarously destroyed and plundered thousands of cultural institutions, took out many cultural values, and destroyed the social infrastructure in the occupied territory of the Soviet Union. Cultural workers showed heroic efforts to save cultural property.

History has preserved a lot of examples of state, public, private initiatives in the field of social security for various categories of those in need: the wounded, the disabled, their families, families of those who died in the war, evacuees, orphans, homeless children, prisoners of war, etc.

The government entered into a dialogue with religious leaders: in those years, the church intensified its patriotic, charitable activities.

There were many difficulties in organizing and conducting cultural and educational work. Often this is explained by a natural sharp reduction in appropriations for the activities of political and educational institutions. Among the participants of the people's militia, members of partisan detachments turned out to be a significant part of qualified cultural enlightenment workers. The book collections and museum expositions have been significantly reduced, the number of radio points, film installations, and amateur art groups has decreased. Nevertheless, local, republican and all-Union reviews of amateur performances continued to be held. Work with youth, adolescents, children and women was conditioned by the tasks of wartime.

The main directions of cultural and educational work in the rear included: organizing agitation and propaganda, mass-political, defense-mass work, conducting extensive reference work, participation of cultural and educational institutions in preparing mass workers for the national economy, assistance in the development of social competition. Amateur art acted as a means of spiritual mobilization of people to fight against fascism. At the same time, it was necessary to organize their rest and leisure in conditions of hard work.

In the regions of the country liberated from the invaders, destroyed cultural and educational institutions were restored; the public contributed to the resumption of their work. The premises of trade union clubs, Houses and Palaces of Culture, which were previously used for other purposes, were vacated. State appropriations for social and cultural purposes increased.

Cultural and educational institutions of the army and navy contributed to the restoration of centers of culture in the territories liberated from fascist occupation in the USSR and beyond, to the development of amateur art activities and the organization of recreation and leisure for soldiers; they actively contributed to the patriotic movements of the working people.

The socio-cultural situation in the country in the first post-war years was difficult. The war upset the demographic balance in the age categories of the population. The economic situation of the families of those killed in the war, orphans and the disabled remained extremely difficult.

The material base of a significant part of educational and cultural institutions was in decline. The results of the forced "resettlement" of peoples had a negative impact on the socio-psychological climate in the regions.

It was necessary to increase the level of social security of the population of the country. The food and housing crises made themselves felt.

Cultural and educational institutions paid great attention to mobilizing the people for the restoration and further development of the national economy and overcoming the consequences of the war.

The network of institutions of culture, education, healthcare, sanatoriums, preschools, cultural and educational institutions is gradually being restored and growing. Together with housing construction, new buildings of clubs, libraries, schools, theaters, museums, circuses, etc. are put into operation.

There is an increase in state financial allocations for cultural construction, the development of the press, radio, cinema, and television; the network of city club institutions and rural libraries is growing. During this period, the reorganization of reading huts into rural clubs was completed.

Cultural and educational work is being restructured in accordance with the tasks of peacetime. In her organization, practitioners are constantly faced with logistical and organizational difficulties. In 1948, a public scientific and educational organization was created - the Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge. Branches of this society are opened in all regions of the country.

In cultural, educational and educational institutions, the paradigm of ideological and political education continues to dominate. Clubs and other cultural institutions, as centers of mass agitation and propaganda work, are engaged in the organization on a large scale of industrial, technical, agricultural propaganda, as well as education in the field of literature and art.

The resolutions of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on issues of literature and art (1946-1948) had a negative impact on the development of culture in the country. The resolution "On the magazines Zvezda and Leningrad" became the reason for a new wave of "prohibition" and repression among the creative intelligentsia. Repressions were intensified in relation to entire peoples, individual social groups, and strata of society.

However, regardless of this general political situation, the first sprouts of social principles are reflected in the organization of cultural and educational work; amateur art activities are developing, interest in folk holidays and festivities is growing.

Measures are being taken to expand the system of training and advanced training of cadres of cultural enlightenment workers. In 1953, the Ministry of Culture of the USSR and the ministries of culture of the Union republics were formed, as well as territorial bodies for managing local cultural institutions.

The exposure of the personality cult had a direct impact on the beginning of the process of democratization of cultural and educational work. This period is characterized by increased attention to the issues of the history of cultural and educational work, theoretical understanding of topical problems of its content, organization and methodology.

The XX Congress of the CPSU became a significant milestone in the social and cultural life of society. The socio-psychological climate of society was influenced by the "thaw" of the mid-1950s, the rehabilitation of the repressed, which had important political, moral, socio-cultural significance.

These years were marked by increased attention of the general public to cultural and educational work, increased responsibility of enterprise managers for the state of the material base of culture. The sphere of activity of state and public unions, committees, societies, and commissions of a social and cultural orientation is expanding. The system of social assistance to the population is being developed and strengthened in the center and locally. Social reforms touch many aspects of life.

The role of trade unions, Komsomol, public commissions and councils in cultural, educational and social work is growing. There is a wide range of leisure forms of activity varied in content. Song and youth festivals are being revived and become truly massive and traditional in the Baltic republics; holidays "Russian Winter", "Meadow Day", "Russian Birch", "Sabantuy", etc.

There is a growing network of people's universities, people's theaters, socio-political associations (Prometheus, Red Carnation, Rodina, etc.), labor veterans' clubs, associations of theater, music, film and literature lovers. Family forms of leisure are developing. Propaganda of revolutionary, military and labor traditions occupies a large place in the work of cultural and educational institutions.

The practice of regularly holding all-Union festivals and reviews of amateur art and folk art is being established in the country.

The system of higher and secondary specialized cultural and educational education is being improved.

At the same time, manifestations of repressive policies towards religion, religious figures and believers are being resumed.

At the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, negative processes in the economy, social and spiritual spheres were growing. The inhibition of democratization processes in society, including in cultural and educational work, affects the activities of cultural and educational institutions, in which formalism and the desire for quantitative indicators are manifested. Many cultural institutions are divorced from the needs and interests of the population in the field of leisure. Both social and educational efficiency of cultural and educational work is low.

The cultural and educational work of this period is especially characterized by the "comprehensiveness" of content, the predominance of ideological, production measures. It is aimed, first of all, at the ideological support of socialist competition, the economic education of workers, and the support of "schools of communist labor."

The creation and operation of centralized club and library systems, regional and rural cultural complexes, cultural and sports complexes contributed to the development of integration processes in this area. There is a more active participation of rural schools in cultural and educational work. The network of children's (teenage) clubs is expanding everywhere. Branches and satellites of theaters and philharmonic societies appear in rural areas, clubs - satellites of large Palaces of Culture of industrial enterprises.

The methodological guidance of cultural and educational work and folk art is also being restructured. Scientific and methodological centers of folk art and cultural enlightenment work are being created in the regions, territories and republics. Thanks to their support, many folk groups, folk theaters and museums arose in the country.

New documents and normative acts on the activities of club institutions, interest clubs, social and cultural associations are being adopted.

Amateur forms of creativity of the population are gaining wide development. The most diverse socio-political movements, natural science, religious, artistic and other associations are being legalized. Relatively new types of cultural and leisure institutions appear: leisure centers, centers for the aesthetic development of children and youth, youth cultural centers, etc.

Socio-economic reforms had their consequences. Everywhere there was a struggle against drunkenness and alcoholism, violations of labor discipline. A number of economic, national, social and cultural problems have become aggravated. The shortage of food, goods, services, the decline in the standard of living of the population have become stable phenomena.

A number of organizational, managerial and methodological measures indicate the beginning of a deep restructuring of cultural and educational work, which included the solution of such problems as the democratization of the management system and activities, focus on social leisure activities, rethinking the principles and functions of cultural and educational work, development and implementation new economic mechanism, focus on the socialization of children and adolescents, leisure forms of work with the family, expanding the range of studying the requests and needs of various groups of the population in the field of free time, etc.

At the end of the 80s, the question arose of the need to train teachers for the socio-cultural sphere. Research conducted by the Russian Academy of Education proved the relevance of introducing the institution of social educators and social workers.

In accordance with the principle of continuity, cultural and educational work organically develops into an integral part of socio-cultural activities.

The collapse of the USSR significantly influenced the change in the socio-cultural situation in Russia. Reforming the economy did not smooth out, but, on the contrary, significantly exacerbated economic, national, socio-cultural problems. State (federal and local bodies), church, public and private social assistance acquire specific organizational forms. The share of international, federal, local funds, programs of social and cultural support and development is growing significantly.

The adoption of the Law of the Russian Federation on Culture (November 1992) was the first attempt in many years to give the sphere of culture legal support and influence the social and cultural life of society.

The economic situation in the country in the 1990s had negative consequences for the activities of cultural and leisure institutions: the closure of clubs, the reduction of free services, a sharp reduction in budget allocations, and a drop in the standard of living of the population. At the same time, structural and functional changes are taking place in the management system of organizations and institutions in the sociocultural sphere at the federal, regional, and local levels. The commercial sector is intensively developing in the socio-cultural and leisure spheres.

Many facts and phenomena at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries testify to the growing role and importance of religion in the socio-cultural life of society. During this period, the problems of interethnic, interethnic cooperation in the field of culture, art, education, and social work are significantly aggravated and partially solved.

The development of a system for training personnel for the sphere of culture, art, social assistance, leisure in the 90s required the expansion of the classifier of specialties, specializations, qualifications in universities, colleges, schools of culture and arts. The introduction of the State Educational Standards stimulated the renewal of the content of many training courses, the introduction of new educational technologies.

Multi-level education has become a requirement of the day. There was a need for additional professional education. Many problems of higher education in the field of culture are being solved by introducing paid education, coexistence of state and non-state educational institutions, creating a network of university branches in various regions of the country.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

1. Socio-cultural activity as a fundamental scientific and educational direction in the knowledge system

Subject field of socio-cultural activity as a branch of science

The scientific status and public recognition of a particular science largely depend on the degree of development of its theoretical foundations, which, first of all, reveal its subject field, goals, patterns, functions, and connections with practice.

As an independent fundamental scientific and educational direction in the Russian information space, as a generic basis for a family of professional educational standards for specialties and specializations of a sociocultural profile, sociocultural activity is no exception in this regard. It is the main content of the practical work of both professionals and non-professionals employed in the modern socio-cultural sphere.

Socio-cultural activity as a holistic phenomenon can be described using a number of system features (according to VG Afanasiev): historicity, components; integrative qualities and communicative properties inherent in each of the elements; functional characteristics.

The term "socio-cultural activity" in everyday life is used in three meanings: as a social practice, which today involves many professions that are essential for the modern socio-cultural sphere; as an academic subject with a certain logic and structure; as a historically established branch of scientific knowledge, a theory that develops thanks to the efforts of a large group of scientists and practitioners. In this section, we focus on the third meaning of this concept.

The theory of social and cultural activities is one of the components of the theory of pedagogy, the general pedagogical system of scientific knowledge. It is based on the provisions fundamental for pedagogical science from the field of human knowledge, sociology, psychology, history, cultural studies, etc.: it transfers these provisions from their inherent general level to the level of the special, thereby developing them to a certain extent. In turn, the theory of socio-cultural activity is the basic branch of scientific knowledge for many narrower specialized disciplines included in the educational standards for training personnel for the arts, media, tourism, information technology and others.

The emergence and dialectics of the development of the category "socio-cultural activity" are associated with the philosophical, cultural, pedagogical, socio-psychological substantiation of the term. The concepts of “education”, “enlightenment”, “out-of-school education”, “polyshko-educational work”, “cultural and educational work”, “cultural-mass work”, “additional education” that precede or accompany this category have repeatedly changed over the years. its content.

The concept of social and cultural activity has come in domestic science to replace the concept of "cultural and educational work", generally accepted in the Soviet era to designate one of the mass tools of ideological work for the communist education of the masses. It is no coincidence that the appearance of this term was preceded by political and educational activities (political enlightenment), which is associated with the cultural revolution of the 20-30s.

Regarding the phrase “cultural and educational work”, the point of view of V.V. Tuev, who believes that the unacceptability of the terms “educational” and “work” contained in it is due to their extreme narrowness, which limits the variety of types of modern social activities of the population in the field of culture, education, art, leisure, and sports.

Changes in the content and organization of modern socio-cultural, leisure activities required a rethinking and necessary adjustment of the essence of the content of the educational and scientific specialty itself. The traditional concept of "cultural and educational worker" today no longer corresponds to qualitatively different functions of a specialist in the modern socio-cultural sphere. His traditional orientation towards enlightenment is in no way consistent with the current realities, does not fit into the contours of the new paradigms demanded by modern socio-cultural practice. Life forced us to look for other methodological approaches and justifications for the socially transformative, cultural-creative, socio-pedagogical orientation of the profession.

The status of a modern specialist in the social and cultural sphere - a manager, teacher, technologist - is not invented, it is not born spontaneously, but is formed under the influence of today's realities. Overcoming the negative consequences of the administrative-command management system has shifted the priorities towards the development of initiative, entrepreneurship, and activity, which are necessary for this specialist in the current economic situation.

Over time, this specialty underwent a consistent transformation into a number of related specialties and specializations: at first - an organizer-methodologist, later - a culturologist, a social pedagogue, a sociologist, a director, a manager, an economist in the socio-cultural sphere. The general basis of this series, in which, apparently, it is too early to put an end to it, has been and remains socio-cultural activity aimed at creating conditions for the most complete development, self-affirmation and self-realization of an individual or a group of persons (studio, circle, amateur association) in the region. culture, education, art, leisure, sports.

The content of this activity has been greatly enriched and its structure has been adjusted both for an individual person and for many family and group communities.

The essence and meaning of socio-cultural activity lies in the direct focus on the active functioning of the individual in a particular social environment, on the formation of its socio-cultural status, the choice and implementation of adequate forms of its participation in socio-cultural processes.

The famous Russian psychologist L.S. As early as the 1920s, Vygotsky singled out two main, qualitatively unique lines - the line of the biological formation of elementary processes and the line of the socio-cultural (emphasized by us - Auth.) formation of higher mental functions, from the interweaving of which the real history of child and adult behavior arises1 .

As an independent, self-sufficient area of ​​human knowledge, socio-cultural activity took shape in the second half of the 20th century.

The first attempt to designate the meaning and essence of the functional need of society to comprehend and master culture with the help of the integrating term "socio-cultural activity" was made in the mid-1950s by the French sociologist and culturologist J.-R. Dumazedier. It was a remarkable and in its own way unique step towards introducing the society (society) to culture with the help of the integral term "socio-cultural activity". But, unfortunately, having limited its purpose only to a purely adaptive function of entering or familiarizing a person with the vast world of culture, J.-R. Dumazedier could not or did not want to go further, show what will follow adaptation, how, having joined culture, a person will be able to make the most of the inexhaustible creative reserves of his post-adaptive self-affirmation and self-realization, the semantic meaning of which is embedded in the word "activity". It was this circumstance that initiated the further search for the most adequate interpretation of the concept of “socio-cultural activity” (the works of MS. Kagan, A. Mol, M. Wertheimer, D.B. Elkonin, etc.).

Over 20 years ago, UNESCO, in its recommendations, attempted to classify and apply the various types of cultural activities. The prepared document limited all “mass work in the socio-cultural field” (highlighted by us - Auth.) to “promoting the development of community centers and amateur performances, ceremonies and events related to religious, ethical beliefs, training, auxiliary events” (“On International Standardization statistics on public funding of activities in the field of culture "Recommendations adopted at the 21st session of UNESCO in Belgrade on October 27, 1980)

The authors of the conference were not satisfied with such an artificial narrowing of the zones of influence of the socio-cultural sphere. Guided by the logic of the progressive development of processes in the spiritual life of society, they entered a new stage in the definition of socio-cultural activity, in a different, broader interpretation of its essence, functions, principles and content.

The search for new acceptable meanings of creativity in individual and group socio-cultural creativity was associated with the general development of democratic processes in the modern world, with the movement for human rights, with the realization by many people and nations in general of their importance in cultural progress, with the growth of their need for internal freedom and external opportunities for creative self-expression and self-realization.

In the early 90s of the XX century, socio-cultural activity as an independent educational discipline and scientific specialty for the first time received scientific justification and was introduced into the educational process of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts by the authors of this textbook.

Thanks to the concept developed by the university scientists on the need to spread the concept of "socio-cultural activity" as a kind of integration "umbrella" to combine the many types of activities that have appeared in the field of leisure and creativity and the new directions that have arisen in this regard in the professional training of personnel, the foundation was laid for theoretical and methodological substantiation of a new direction in pedagogical and cultural sciences

The concept of "socio-cultural activity", from the moment of its appearance in the lexicon of modern domestic scientists and practitioners, in terms of its scope and content, has acquired significant differences from the terms "cultural and educational work", "cultural and leisure activities" (which have existed for a long time), and from the terms “social work” and “social pedagogy” that have become widespread in Russia since the 90s of the XX century.

Of particular theoretical and practical importance for the learning process, in our opinion, is, on the one hand, the social component of knowledge about the essence and content of the subject, and on the other hand, the possibility of constructive use in this experience of synthesizing cultural data from various fields of modern science. Based on this thesis, one of the authors of this textbook in the article "Cultural Studies and Social Pedagogy: Conjugation Lines" substantiated the priority place of such concepts as "man", "education", "socialization", "culture", "society" for this scientifically - educational space, within which a new specialty was actually born and grown - "Social and cultural activity" ("Social work". -1993. - No. 2. - P. 40-41).

At the same time, due to the change in the ideological milestones of the post-Soviet Russian society in the field of cultural and educational work, an intensive revision of scientific and professional terminology began. So, in the scientific literature, the term “cultural and educational activity” was replaced by versions where the word “leisure” was chosen as the key meaning-forming term: “pedagogy of free time” and “pedagogy of leisure” (M.A. Ariarsky), "cultural and leisure activities" (A.D. Zharkov, N.F. Maksyutin), "culturology of leisure" (Yu.A. Streltsov), etc.

Other researchers, relying on the key term "socio-cultural activity", expand its meaning by introducing into scientific use the concepts of "socio-cultural management", "socio-cultural animation" (N.N. Yaroshenko), "socio-cultural design" ( Yu.D. Krasilnikov), “socio-cultural marketing” (V.E. Novatorov), “socio-cultural rehabilitation” (Yu.S. Mozdokiva), etc. At the same time, practitioners proposed and used the terms “cultural and educational activities ”, “cultural and educational activities”, “free time pedagogy”, “leisure pedagogy”, “leisure organization”, “applied cultural studies”.

However, later it became obvious that the term "cultural and leisure activities", as well as "pedagogy of leisure", "culturology of leisure" and others, is focused on the subject engaged in amateur, that is, non-professional cultural activities during his leisure time, recreation. In our opinion, the term "cultural and leisure activities" cannot fully designate the concept of activity, which is the subject of a number of areas of traditional and modern social and cultural practice.

Modern social and cultural practice not only includes amateur activities in the field of leisure, but, most importantly, is a huge pedagogical and professional work that extends far beyond the traditional leisure to such labor-intensive social spheres as the vocational education system and the subsequent career of specialists, professional art and folk art, mass physical education and professional sports, professional social work and socio-cultural rehabilitation, intercultural, as well as professional, exchange and cooperation.

The program-summary of the training course "Socio-cultural activity" proposes another, sustained in a strictly scientific and educational context, the definition of socio-cultural activity as "an independent fundamental scientific and educational direction in the Russian information space, as a generic basis for a family of professional educational standards for specialties and specializations of the socio-cultural profile”.

Nevertheless, this definition cannot be attributed to the comprehensive characteristics of socio-cultural activity as a unique historical and cultural, pedagogically directed and socially significant phenomenon in the history of human civilizations. That is why the following interpretation of this concept that we propose is more justified.

In a broad sense, socio-cultural activity should be considered as a historically conditioned, pedagogically directed and socially demanded process of transforming culture and cultural values ​​into an object of interaction between the individual and social groups in the interests of the development of each member of society.

It seems to us that such an interpretation largely reflects the dialectics of the development of society as a socio-cultural system, the transformation of spiritual values ​​and needs, reaching a new level of pedagogical generalization and understanding of the vast technological experience accumulated in the socio-cultural sphere, puts forward the theory and practice of socio-cultural activities in a number of independent pedagogical disciplines.

Pedagogical status of socio-cultural activities

Like any science, theory, methodology and organization of social and cultural activities are built on new methodological foundations and approaches.

Here we should dwell in more detail on the dialectic of the development of the very term "approach" in relation to the subject of our course. If only a few decades ago, researchers of cultural and educational work limited themselves to using definitions such as “gender and age” or “individual” approach, at present, in the study of socio-cultural activities, we are seeing a significant expansion of this list. We are talking about systemic, synergetic, environmental, communicative, situational and a number of other approaches, thanks to which our ideas about the nature and possibilities of socio-cultural activity have undergone not only progressive, but truly revolutionary changes.

We have chosen an interdisciplinary view of the huge educational and educational experience in the field of leisure and creativity, which made it possible to define the process of upbringing and education itself from both pedagogical and cultural positions, to reveal the essence of this process as the entry of a person (child, teenager, adult) together. with a teacher, manager, technologist to the modern socio-cultural environment, to the richest world of culture and cultural values ​​created by mankind and nature, familiarization with the inexhaustible springs of folk pedagogy and folk art. The indispensable components of this process are the development, assimilation and appropriation of folk pedagogical experience and cultural values, and the basis of its content is the development in people of an active, interested attitude towards the spiritual wealth of each people, skills and abilities of creative activity and interaction with this world.

Everything is permeated with the deepest pedagogical meaning - the very act of entering the subjects of socio-cultural activity, the Teacher and his Student, into an infinitely rich storehouse of cultural values, and the very moment of interaction of these subjects, built according to the laws of pedagogy, and the very constant focus of this interaction on the free choice of occupations. , on the initiation of creative efforts and abilities of subjects.

From the very beginning, this pedagogical paradigm acquired a universal and systematic character. First, it extends both to the area of ​​leisure proper, free time, and to the vast area of ​​professionally employed, working time spent on highly skilled activities outside of leisure. Secondly, it determines the clear socio-pedagogical status of a huge detachment of professional specialists involved on an equal basis with non-professionals in numerous state and non-state institutions and organizations of a socio-cultural profile. Thirdly, it serves as a methodological foundation for the emergence, development and pedagogical justification of a family of previously unknown scientific and educational disciplinary areas, as well as a new generation of pedagogical, in fact, technologies, the source for which was the generic concept of "socio-cultural activity". Moreover, we are talking here about the continuous “budding” of such disciplines as socio-cultural animation, socio-cultural design, socio-cultural rehabilitation, socio-cultural technologies, etc., which is natural for the educational process.

Such a genesis of the pedagogical paradigm seems to be absolutely natural and objectively necessary. As a result, the pedagogical paradigm becomes, in essence, the dominant, system-forming element of the structure, content, the very essence of the subject of socio-cultural activity. It acts as a fundamental position in the consideration, comparative analysis and evaluation of this subject.

Integrity and continuity of the subject of research

The pedagogical paradigm of socio-cultural activity as a scientific discipline largely determines its continuity and integrating nature in relation to a number of branches of scientific knowledge. We are talking about cultural studies, club studies, library science, museology, park studies, local history and other historically established scientific disciplines that have contributed to the theoretical understanding of the practical experience of developing the socio-cultural sphere in the country.

Without constant reliance on the theoretical baggage of related sciences, on the results of many years of fundamental research conducted by more than one generation of scientists, it would be impossible to talk about the formation and development of the scientific discipline and educational specialty "Social and cultural activity".

The processes of democratization and spiritual renewal of society are objectively associated with an increase in the role of spiritual culture. Man, as a bearer and creator of culture, has the right to count on the provision of the necessary conditions for the free development of his cultural and creative activity. Culture is called upon to become a driving force for historically necessary changes, a means of integrating society.

At the same time, at the end of the 20s in Russia, due to a number of historical objective and subjective reasons that require special analysis, there was a demarcation of culture and education at all levels. This delimitation was enshrined in government structures of the appropriate type. They not only doubled, but began to grow exponentially, since each of the subsystems of a single culture required not only the creation of scientific and methodological units, but also a colossal administrative apparatus, which allegedly "managed" culture and education, but in reality hindered the free spiritual development of the people . A paradoxical skew arose: in the managerial and scientific-methodological structures, as well as in the huge network of sectoral organizational institutions of culture and education, an excessively numerous personnel potential turned out to be concentrated.

Other established areas of cultural activity did not lag behind enlightenment and artistic culture: mass media, international cultural exchange, folk crafts and crafts, etc. In these areas, the bureaucratic managerial and scientific-methodical apparatus grew.

The huge monster, to which they began to automatically transfer the term "culture" in its frankly primitive cultural interpretation, has by no means disappeared even today. He has the ability to mimic, adapt to any shocks, and even transform to survive in a new capacity.

Only the integration of enlightenment, education and artistic culture, cultural studies and pedagogy (in particular, social pedagogy) can return a person to his original role as a creator, bearer and custodian of spiritual wealth.

The integration of cultural and socio-pedagogical principles, artistic culture and education has an exceptionally powerful effect on the entire process of preserving, disseminating and mastering cultural values. It allows the state to directly or indirectly realize the rights of a citizen guaranteed by the law to access cultural values, to humanitarian and artistic education, as well as other human rights and freedoms in the field of culture. It makes it possible to carry out a genuine humanitarization of the entire education system, in practice to embody state protectionism (patronage) in the field of culture, art, leisure, sports in relation to the least economically and socially protected strata and groups of the population.

The process of integration and continuity in the theory and practice of socio-cultural activities is clearly seen in the example of one of its generic disciplines - park science.

Modern park science is a complex of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of content, methodology and organization of the work of parks as the most popular cultural institutions. The branch of park science acquired its scientific and practical status thanks to the integration and implementation of information baggage from the field of pedagogy, psychology, ecology and a number of other specific disciplines that are always of fundamental importance not only for the park, but also for all other subjects of the socio-cultural sphere.

These provisions, by no means private, but general methodological for the entire socio-cultural practice, include, for example, the system of knowledge in the field of sociology, which is used to objectively assess trends in the development of park society and in the interaction of the park with the environment. In the same way, park science relies on data from psychology - to understand the motivations and beliefs of park audiences; anthropology - to understand the influence of the physical organization of a person and his biological nature on his behavior and communication in a park; history - in order to draw lessons from the experience of organizing the leisure of people at various stages of society.

The above applies to economics and law, cultural studies and ethnography and other sciences. Park science uses data from interdisciplinary studies, such as communication theory, social relations theory, probability theory, etc. The ongoing research uses the entire arsenal of tools and methods for scientific analysis of socio-economic, spiritual and socio-political processes that are characteristic not only for the park, but also for many other socio-cultural institutions.

Integrity and continuity are characteristic not only of sectoral objects of culture and leisure, but also of the system of professional training of specialists for institutions and organizations of the socio-cultural sphere. At the turn of the 20th-21st centuries, the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts gained experience in implementing long-term comprehensive training programs for personnel in various specialties and specializations of the socio-cultural industry in accordance with the social order of government departments and public organizations.

In the current situation of rapidly occurring socio-cultural shifts in the country, it became necessary to sharply increase the criteria for the quality of professional, higher and secondary socio-cultural education. Today's practice, more than ever, requires a high level of professional and cultural competence of a specialist, his ability to make appropriate decisions in difficult situations, to predict and evaluate the social consequences of his actions.

Managers, teachers, culturologists, sociologists, psychologists, technologists, armed with professional knowledge in the system "man - culture - society", are called upon to be ready for an open social dialogue with people, taking into account all the variety of conditions and factors that determine the position of the individual in society. Such a dialogue about the most important thing in the life of every child, teenager, adult - about his present and future, real understanding and ways to solve emerging problems, overcome difficulties and contradictions - is socially in demand and necessary in the daily practice of every trained specialist.

In the content and methods of cultural education, the main emphasis is shifted to the ability of a specialist to assert himself and self-actualize in specific types of leisure and creativity, to form the same ability among those with whom he works (children, adolescents and adults). Therefore, comprehensive training programs for specialists in the field of "Socio-cultural activity" will achieve their goals if from the very beginning they are focused on developing their creative principles, on instilling in them a taste and desire to engage in a creative search for the necessary ways, methods and means of influencing the socio-cultural sphere.

Of particular importance for modern Russian society is the activity of future managers, teachers, directors, technologists of a cultural profile as highly qualified specialists of a special type and a special class, capable of actively working in various sectors of the socio-cultural sphere, teaching people diverse skills and abilities in the field of culture, art, sports, folk arts and crafts, games, advertising, establish contacts between different groups of the population, organize their social interaction, initiate the solution of vital leisure problems at the local level.

Thus, speaking about the integrative and successive, in essence, nature of socio-cultural activity, it can be argued that this activity is both a science and an art. As a subject of scientific research, it organically includes a system of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of a large range of related sciences, it also implies the skill and ability of specialists to effectively apply them in practice.

Socio-cultural activity: morphology of the term

As a subject of study, socio-cultural activity has a three-dimensional structure. The most complete and objective analysis of its structure can be ensured by following three fundamental approaches: institutional, spiritual-content and morphological.

With the help of the institutional dimension, we get the opportunity to trace the dynamics of the emergence and historical development of forms, methods and technologies of socio-cultural activities related to the production, preservation, consumption, development and study of cultural values ​​and products, objects of art and everyday life. socio-cultural activity on the spiritual world of its subjects and objects - the creators and consumers of cultural goods and values.

But the most methodologically important in the context of the subject of our course is the morphological dimension, the morphological approach to the essence of the concept of socio-cultural activity. In the context of studying our discipline, the repeatedly proven method of morphology as a science of the form and structure of a social or biological phenomenon once again confirms its systemic nature, objectivity and consistency. The morphological approach allows not only to compare, but also to analyze the correlation, interaction and interdependence of various types and structural elements of socio-cultural activity at certain stages of its history and modern development.

From the very name of the discipline we are studying, it follows that a single socio-cultural system, characteristic of any country and any civilization, is formed by its two components - “society” and “culture”. On what basis they remain a single system, it will be clear when we delve into the essence and meaning of the concepts of "society" and "culture". From the point of view of supporters of the system approach, society as an integral system consists of a number of subsystems: economic, political, social and cultural, connected by causal relationships.

In the context of our subject, society appears as a historically established, relatively stable set of connections, interactions and relationships between people, which is based on a certain method of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of material and spiritual (cultural) values ​​and benefits and is supported by a variety of social and socio-cultural institutions and organizations.

From the very beginning, the term "culture" was associated with the creation of a "second nature" by man, starting from the first act of cultivating natural objects and creating tools on this basis. The versatility of such tools or any other items vital for a person made it possible to generalize them under the concept of "culture". Culture combines both elements of the material, labor activity of people, and elements of their spiritual activity. Culture is the great wealth accumulated by mankind in the sphere of its material and spiritual life, it is the highest manifestation of the creative forces and abilities of man.

Cultural conformity has been and remains the main feature of the spiritual life of society. The essence and meaning of the activity of millions of people representing the spiritual elite of society - scientists and artists, teachers, master mentors - is to help each new generation in mastering the material and spiritual culture of their people, its treasures. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that high spirituality, constant moral quests that elevate a person, have always been one of the main features of the Russian national character.

Intelligence has always been considered a measure of culture and upbringing. Both Shakespeare and Pushkin are united by an extraordinary conclusion made by these two greatest geniuses: the cause of all human troubles is ignorance. Intelligence at all times acted as an antipode to rudeness and ignorance. This provision is especially relevant for the current time of practicality, powerful processes of commercialization of the spiritual sphere, in particular art.

Many great minds saw the salvation of mankind in beauty, in artistic creativity, in high culture. It is true culture that embodies the eternal desire of mankind for truth, goodness and beauty. The main guarantor of the spiritual life of society is the activity of introducing people to the world of beauty, to the culture of everyday life and human relations, the development of high taste and rejection of vulgarity, the formation of a culture of behavior and the need to build a life according to the laws of beauty and harmony.

Thus, society appears as a socio-cultural system that embodies the unity of material and spiritual production. Society produces, reproduces and satisfies not only the physical needs of people, but also spiritual ones - in communication, communication, information exchange, manifestation of creative abilities, etc. These functions of modern society logically lead us to the need for a clear understanding of the subject of socio-cultural activity. In culturological and socio-pedagogical literature, the whole variety of individual and social activity in the field of culture is characterized by the category of "socio-cultural activity", which denotes both various phenomena of social and cultural life, and special technologies. In this regard, in the context of our subject of study, it is legitimate to consider socio-cultural activity (in a certain sense) as the activity of social communities and a single individual in the creation, preservation, development, enrichment and use of socio-cultural technologies. It is necessary to more clearly imagine the reality that should become the subject of practical activity for a wide range of professions of a socio-cultural and socio-pedagogical orientation.

To begin with, let's try to separate the content of the original concepts of "society" and "culture", consider them as relatively autonomous from each other, assigning to them the meaning that is traditional for them and reflects the productive and procedural aspects of the phenomena they designate.

Society as a phenomenon, subject and object of analysis can be represented in the form of basic social subjects (social groups, organizations, institutions), which are universal, typical and sustainable social formations, as well as processes of "social mechanics", i.e. social interactions, relationships. The initial characteristics in the analysis of sociological problems are status and social role.

Culture as a result is a combination of traditions, norms, values, meanings, ideas, sign systems that are characteristic of a social community (in the broad sense of the word - including ethnicity, nation, society) and perform the functions of social orientation, ensuring the consolidation of human communities, individual self-determination personality. In procedural terms, culture is an activity (of individuals, social groups, institutions, society) in various spheres of being and consciousness, which is a specifically human way of transforming natural inclinations and capabilities, it is the unity of objectification (production) and deobjectification (consumption) - the creation of traditions, norms, values, ideas and their development, storage, translation, their transformation into the internal qualities of the individual.

An absolutely obvious conclusion from the analysis of the current historical situation is that the “enlightenment” model of the world order has exhausted itself, and the changed conditions dictate the need to search for new approaches in understanding the most important problems of correlation and interaction between culture and education. The basis for these approaches is the position that for the current century "the phenomenon of culture is increasingly shifting to the center, to the center of human existence, permeates all the decisive events of life and people's consciousness"1.

Culture “fills and saturates the entire social space formed by cooperative human activity, turns out to be blurred over the entire body of the social organism and penetrates into all its pores”2. It can be rightfully asserted that all social sectors and institutions turn out to be subjects of cultural activity, are engaged in the creation, preservation, dissemination and development of cultural values.

Practically "uncivilized" areas of social life are not found. In any society, there are many cultures, the so-called multicultures, which differ in a number of characteristics of their carriers - individuals and population groups. Each of these groups, and, accordingly, their cultures, is distinguished by one, or even several signs of people at once - their social, economic and civic affiliation, ethnic origin, their gender, gender and sexual orientation, their worldview and education, profession, language , traditions, customs, age, physical and mental development, religion, etc. Very often, the cultural identity of a person or group can also be judged by external, non-verbal signs.

Each person or group of people by nature possesses multiculturalism, or multiculturalism. In other words, in them we find the intersection of many cultures or, in other words, cultural identities. At the same time, one of these cultures (cultural identities) is predominant, dominant. For example, a person's nationality or gender may serve as a permanent dominant trait.

At the same time, many of the cultural identities of a person or group represent an extremely changeable, mobile category. Scientists talk about a kind of constant “identity drift” associated with a change in age, profession, citizenship, and the transition to another religion.

Thus, the very concept of multiculturalism implies the interdependence of social and cultural principles, the interpenetration of the social and cultural affiliation of people. Society, as it were, "dissolves" in culture and vice versa.

Representing a unity that is difficult to comprehend even at the level of theoretical analysis, the categories "society" and "culture" at the same time designate two poles with oppositional functions and meanings within the same system.

Society is alienation within the framework of a social role from one's own nature and the nature of one's "national world". Culture is growing into the national world, formed by language, traditions, national psychology.

The essence of society is to make a person public, providing him with a set of necessary roles and technologies for their execution. The essence of culture is to contribute to the formation of a spiritually integral personality, to overcome the social and role limitations of a person.

If social activity is a goal-oriented activity, the content of which is given by a certain social role of the subject, then cultural activity is a value-oriented activity, imbued with and dictated by a certain meaningful meaning.

Taking into account the conditionality of the oppositions indicated above, their predominantly epistemological nature, we will try, on the one hand, to find the common thing that connects these concepts-phenomena, and on the other hand, in their combination, to detect the non-self-sufficiency of each of them, which will explain the functional-semantic relationship these categories.

The starting point in this case will be culture, or more precisely, its procedural level. It is the view of culture as a process of creating, storing, mastering, translating values, norms, ways of life, as well as the materialized results of cultural activity, firstly, that makes it necessary to use the category “activity”; secondly, it actualizes and clarifies the category of "social", because culture as a process "lives" in the activities of various social subjects. Separated from them, culture "freezes" in various objective forms, which only fix the values, traditions, rituals, legends of previous historical eras, without making them a fact of today's cultural life.

The terms "social group" and "cultural group" in the context of our course are synonymous. Any social group that has certain distinctive features can simultaneously be called a cultural group. One and the same person can simultaneously belong to several cultural groups: social, age, gender, professional, sports, interests, etc. Therefore, characteristic cultural features (habits, interests, clothing style and communication style, leisure preferences, spiritual values, etc.) are projected onto the personality, as it were, perceived by it from groups close to it. To a certain extent, the assignment of a person to a particular cultural group is also associated with his place of residence (resident of a large city and provincial), community, belonging to various kinds of minorities (ethnic, confessional, sexual, etc.). It follows from the foregoing that social and cultural characteristics are intertwined not only at the level of any nation, but also at the level of a single individual.

So, the interrelation of the social and cultural, mediated by the activities of various subjects, gives rise to a special reality, fixed by the concept of "socio-cultural activity".

The relationship of the concepts that make up the category of "socio-cultural activity" is in the nature of complementarity. This allows us to refer it to the category of such terminological constructions, such as, for example, “liberal democratic society”, where the first part characterizes the specifics of values, and the second designates the form of government. In our case, "social" indicates the subject of activity, and "cultural" indicates the quality and scope of its activity.

Let's pay attention to the relationship between social and cultural: social is a form of interaction, cultural is the result of interaction. The main product of socio-cultural activity is people, social communities and groups, societies that have mastered culture.

"Social" and "cultural" are dissolved in each other, because in any social phenomenon there is always a person as a bearer of social roles and cultural values. The social role in this context is considered as a set of normatively approved, expected behavior and actions of a person in certain circumstances. Man acts as the primary "atom" of social structures, relationships and processes.

Interaction of subjects as a distinctive feature

In the category of "socio-cultural activity", we will especially highlight the term "social", which primarily means a person, but not only as a specific carrier of the cultural properties of this activity, but also as a subject of active interaction with the environment. We note the many participants in such interaction in the person of a single individual, several people, a social institution, an ethnic group, a nation in the creation, preservation, dissemination, development and development of cultural values, norms and traditions that are significant for the state or civil society actors.

The interaction of people is the main feature of any social phenomenon. Socio-cultural interaction is understood as the process of mutual influence of people and groups on the consciousness and behavior of each other, during which there is a mutual coordination of this or that action. It is thanks to the interaction that the joint socio-cultural activities of individuals, groups, institutions and organizations become possible. Therefore, the definition of "cultural" activity implies significant interaction, exchange in the field of culture.

Interaction is the starting point for understanding the essence of socio-cultural activity. This refers to the interaction of individuals or groups that form a socio-cultural community to meet educational, recreational, health and other needs. Interaction is often called the term “interaction” accepted in sociology, but most often it is usually interpreted as any behavior of an individual or group that is important for other individuals and groups of a social community or society as a whole. Moreover, interaction expresses the nature and content of relations between people and social groups. Being constant carriers of qualitatively different types of socio-cultural activities, these groups differ in social positions (statuses) and roles.

Pedagogically organized socio-cultural interaction is not only intersubjective cooperation, but also the mutual influence of various spheres, phenomena and processes of social life, carried out through socio-cultural activities. It takes place both between separate objects (external interaction) and within a separate object, between its elements (internal). The objective side of the interaction is connections that are independent of individual people, but mediate and control the content and nature of their interaction. The subjective side is understood as the conscious attitude of individuals to each other, based on mutual expectations of appropriate behavior. These are, as a rule, interpersonal (or socio-psychological) relations that develop in specific social communities at a certain point in time. The mechanism of social interaction includes: individuals performing certain actions; changes in the social community or society as a whole, caused by these actions; the impact of these changes on other individuals that make up the social community; feedback from individuals.

A clear example of such interaction is pedagogical, in fact, socio-cultural animation. Originating in France, this particular type of social and cultural activity of social groups and individuals in the field of leisure quickly gained popularity not only in their homeland, but also abroad. The essence and meaning of animation is the use of various types of artistic creativity as methods of "revitalization" and "spiritualization" of relations between people in their free time from work and other enduring affairs. Its constant goal is to prevent the phenomena of stagnation, alienation of the individual in the culture of society, in the structure of social relations.

Animation, like no other type of pedagogical practice, eloquently reflects the creative, creative, inspiring essence of socio-cultural activity. Professional animators, who are trained by numerous training centers, are divided into two types: coordinators of leisure centers and programs and teachers who lead circles, studios, and workshops. Preparing for animation activities, specialists master a variety of leisure technologies, receive the necessary legal, economic, and psychological support.

A very important aspect of cultural activity should be emphasized as a socially significant interaction of many people and groups in the field of culture. Such interaction opens up wide opportunities not only for cultural choice and cultural self-determination of the individual, but also for intercultural communication, exchange of ideas, experience, and information. That is why in the problems of scientific research on socio-cultural activities, a great place is given to the creation within each society of a sufficiently developed communicative space in which the interests and preferences of social, professional, age, ethnic, confessional and other groups of the population, different in status and cultural orientations, could intersect. .

In this regard, it is not accidental that scientists pay more attention to the expansion of the information space, without which the organic development of the socio-cultural sphere is impossible. The most effective ways of entering individual people, social groups and institutions into the world information systems, as well as studying the growing influence of such a powerful socio-cultural institution as the mass media, are becoming especially active. In many situations, speaking about the segmentation of the socio-cultural space of the region, we also mean the segmentation of the information space, the specialization of the means of information impact on the audience of readers, viewers and listeners.

Ultimately, the goal of such segmentation is the pedagogical support of the process of a person's entry into society, into the world of culture as a worthy heir and successor. Using the concept of “social” within the framework of the term “socio-cultural activity”, we thereby emphasize that, firstly, society, a specific social community is the bearer of culture, and, secondly, culture by its nature is always social, always represents is a collective, social phenomenon.

The conceptual apparatus of the subject

In close connection with the interpretation of the concept of "socio-cultural activity" is the rationale for the term "socio-cultural sphere". For many previous decades, the concepts of “sphere of culture” (in a broader version, “sphere of culture and art”) and “branch of culture” were widespread and still remain. In the statistics of the national economy, both of these terms are used in a very narrow, purely economic context, as a sphere or branch of cultural services. But such an approach clearly separates the cultural sector from many other types of socio-cultural activities - for example, education, leisure, sports, etc.

That is why it is fundamentally important to more strictly and clearly define the boundaries between the "socio-cultural sphere" and the "branch of culture", which is only part of the first, although very important. In contrast to the term "branch of culture", the socio-cultural sphere appears as a generalized, universal, system-forming term, with the help of which the close unity and interaction of the following subsystems was originally indicated: spiritual, cultural needs of citizens; various types of socio-cultural activities; specific results (products) of various types of this activity; the presence of a wide network of social institutions that carry out this activity both collectively and individually.

In the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Culture adopted in 1992, the conceptual apparatus (thesaurus) was disclosed, which is constantly used in modern theory and practice of socio-cultural activities (Article 3). These concepts (terms) are of fundamental importance for understanding the essence and content of the course.

The glossary, covering the terminology used in social and cultural practice, includes a whole range of fundamentally important terms and concepts. Without their development, it is practically impossible to comprehend such a fundamental phenomenon in the life of mankind as socio-cultural activity. Let us dwell on the most essential terms for understanding the subject itself: cultural values ​​and cultural benefits; cultural heritage and cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia; creative activity; creative worker; state cultural policy; main areas (types) of cultural activities; human rights and freedoms in the field of culture; the rights and freedoms of peoples and other ethnic communities in the field of culture; mechanism for economic support of cultural activities.

The key concepts include the concept of cultural values. As can be seen from the above definition of the concept of "socio-cultural activity", one of the main places in it belongs to the term "cultural values". Cultural values ​​are the source and result of socio-cultural activities, it is also a permanent object for their study, preservation, production, development, use and, as a result, the development and implementation of a variety of adequate educational, informational, recreational, creatively developing, rehabilitation and other programs .

Comparison of values ​​accepted in different cultures gives grounds to assert that any values ​​are relative and subjective, because they are evaluated by a person who cannot be impartial. As a result, value means the relative quality of material or ideal objects - things, ideas, which is the ability to satisfy the needs of various subjects - an individual, society, humanity as a whole. In a broad sense, values ​​are what is created, understood and recognized as necessary by cultural people, depending on the level of their cultural development. The sources of values ​​are either nature or cultural activities.

The necessity and inevitability of the existence of various schemes for the classification of cultural values ​​is objective and natural.

The basis of the content of socio-cultural activities is universal human values. According to a number of educators-researchers (V.A. Karakovsky and others), social and cultural activities must be based on fundamental values, thanks to which good traits are formed in a person, highly moral needs and actions are born. This is Man, Family, Labor, Knowledge, Culture, Fatherland, Earth, World. Each of these values ​​is of great importance for the content and organization of socio-cultural processes.

The systematization of socio-cultural values ​​is carried out according to a variety of typological features. The most common classifications are: 1) by the origin of values: artificial (created by human hands) and natural (created by nature); 2) according to their essential characteristics: material (material) and spiritual (non-material); 3) according to their creators and users: social values ​​(creator and user - society) and individual values ​​(creator and user - individual, personality).

Many cultural values ​​and cultural organizations are part of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation and have a standard, unique value in the history, culture and art of the Russian Federation. They are classified as particularly valuable objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation, enjoying special forms of state support. The procedure for classifying as especially valuable objects of cultural heritage, special forms of state support, peculiarities of possession, use and disposal of especially valuable objects of cultural heritage are determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

1. Socio-cultural activity as a fundamental scientific and educational direction in the knowledge system

Subject field of socio-cultural activity as a branch of science

The scientific status and public recognition of a particular science largely depend on the degree of development of its theoretical foundations, which, first of all, reveal its subject field, goals, patterns, functions, and connections with practice.

As an independent fundamental scientific and educational direction in the Russian information space, as a generic basis for a family of professional educational standards for specialties and specializations of a sociocultural profile, sociocultural activity is no exception in this regard. It is the main content of the practical work of both professionals and non-professionals employed in the modern socio-cultural sphere.

Socio-cultural activity as a holistic phenomenon can be described using a number of system features (according to VG Afanasiev): historicity, components; integrative qualities and communicative properties inherent in each of the elements; functional characteristics.

The term "socio-cultural activity" in everyday life is used in three meanings: as a social practice, which today involves many professions that are essential for the modern socio-cultural sphere; as an academic subject with a certain logic and structure, as a historically established branch of scientific knowledge, a theory that develops thanks to the efforts of a large group of scientists and practitioners. In this section, we focus on the third meaning of this concept.

T.G. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilyshkov. Socio-cultural activities

The theory of social and cultural activities is one of the components of the theory of pedagogy, the general pedagogical system of scientific knowledge. It is based on the fundamental principles for pedagogical science from the field of human knowledge, sociology, psychology, history, cultural studies, etc.: it transfers these provisions from their inherent general level to the level of the special, thereby developing them to a certain extent. In turn, the theory of socio-cultural activity is the basic branch of scientific knowledge for many narrower specialized disciplines included in the educational standards for training personnel for the arts, media, tourism, information technology and others.

The emergence and dialectics of the development of the category "socio-cultural activity" are associated with the philosophical, culturological, pedagogical, socio-psychological substantiation of the term. The concepts of “education”, “enlightenment”, “out-of-school education”, “political and educational work”, “cultural and educational work”, “cultural and mass work”, (additional education) have repeatedly changed over the years its content.

The concept of socio-cultural activity has come in domestic science to replace the concept of "cultural and educational work", generally accepted in the Soviet era to designate one of the mass tools of ideological work for the communist education of the masses. It is no coincidence that the appearance of this term was preceded by political and educational activities (political enlightenment), which is associated with the cultural revolution of the 20-30s.

Regarding the phrase “cultural and educational work”, the point of view of V.V. Tuev, who believes that the unacceptability of the terms “educational” and “work” contained in it is due to their extreme narrowness, which limits the variety of types of modern social activities of the population in the field of culture, education, art, leisure, sports

Changes in the content and organization of modern socio-cultural, leisure activities required a re-

thinking and the necessary adjustment of the essence of the content of the educational and scientific specialty itself. The traditional concept of "cultural and educational worker" today no longer corresponds to qualitatively different functions of a specialist in the modern socio-cultural sphere. His traditional orientation towards enlightenment is in no way consistent with the current realities, does not fit into the contours of the new paradigms demanded by modern socio-cultural practice. Life forced us to look for other methodological approaches and justifications for the socially transformative, cultural-creative, socio-pedagogical orientation of the profession.

The status of a modern specialist in the socio-cultural sphere - a manager, teacher, technologist - is not invented, it is not born spontaneously, but is formed under the influence of today's realities. Overcoming the negative consequences of the administrative-command management system has shifted priorities towards the development of initiative, enterprise, and activity, which are necessary for this specialist in the current economic situation.

Over time, this specialty underwent a consistent transformation into a number of related specialties and specializations: at first - an organizer-methodologist, later - a culturologist, a social pedagogue, a sociologist, a director, a manager, an economist in the socio-cultural sphere. The general basis of this series, in which, apparently, it is too early to put an end to it, has been and remains socio-cultural activity aimed at creating conditions for the most complete development, self-affirmation and self-realization of an individual or a group of persons (studio, circle, amateur association) in the region. culture, education, art, leisure, sports.

The content of this activity has been greatly enriched and its structure has been adjusted both for an individual person and for many family and group communities.

The essence and meaning of socio-cultural activity lies in the direct focus on the active functioning of the individual in a particular social environment, on the formation

TT. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilnikov. Socio-cultural activities

understanding of its socio-cultural status, selection and implementation of adequate forms of its participation in socio-cultural processes.

The famous Russian psychologist L.S. Vygotsky, back in the 1920s, singled out two main, qualitatively unique lines - the line of the biological formation of elementary processes and the line socio-cultural(underlinenuto us Auth.) of the formation of higher mental functions, from the plexus of which the real history of child and adult behavior arises 1 .

As an independent, self-sufficient area of ​​human knowledge, socio-cultural activity took shape in the second half of the 20th century.

The first attempt to designate the meaning and essence of the functional need of society to comprehend and master culture with the help of the integrating term "socio-cultural activity" was made in the mid-1950s by the French sociologist and culturologist J.-R. Dumazedier. It was a remarkable and in its own way unique step towards introducing the society (society) to culture with the help of the integral term "socio-cultural activity". But, unfortunately, having limited its intended purpose only to a purely adaptive function of entering or familiarizing a person with the vast world of culture, J.-R. Dumazedier could not or did not want to go further, to show culture, a person will be able to make the most of the inexhaustible creative reserves of his post-adaptive self-affirmation and self-realization, the semantic meaning of which is embedded in the word "activity". It was this circumstance that initiated the further search for the most adequate interpretation of the concept of "socio-cultural activity" (the works of M.S. Kagan, A. Mol, M. Wertheimer, D.B. Elkonin, etc.).

Over 20 years ago, UNESCO, in its recommendations, attempted to classify and apply the various types of cultural activities. The prepared document "massowork in the socio-cultural field"(highlighted by us - Auth.) limited "to the promotion of the development of community centers and amateur performances, ceremonies and events related to
R sectionI. Theoretical foundations of socio-cultural activities

religious, ethical beliefs, training, support activities” (“On the international standardization of statistics on public funding of activities in the field of culture”. Recommendations adopted at the 21st session of UNESCO in Belgrade on October 27, 1980).

The authors of the conference were not satisfied with such an artificial narrowing of the zones of influence of the socio-cultural sphere. Guided by the logic of the progressive development of processes in the spiritual life of society, they entered a new stage in the definition of socio-cultural activity, in a different, broader interpretation of its essence, functions, principles and content.

The search for new acceptable meanings of creativity in individual and group socio-cultural creativity was associated with the general development of democratic processes in the modern world, with the movement for human rights, with the realization by many people and nations in general of their importance in cultural progress, with the growth of their the need for inner freedom and external opportunities for creative self-expression and self-realization.

In the early 90s of the XX century, socio-cultural activity as an independent educational discipline and scientific specialty for the first time received scientific justification and was introduced into the educational process of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts by the authors of this textbook.

Thanks to the concept developed by university scientists on the need to spread the concept of "socio-cultural activity" as a kind of integration "umbrella" to combine many types of occupations in the field of leisure and creativity and the new directions that have arisen in this connection in the professional training of personnel, the foundation was laid for theoretical and methodological substantiation of a new direction in pedagogical and cultural sciences.

The concept of "socio-cultural activity", from the moment of its appearance in the lexicon of modern domestic scientists and practitioners, in terms of its scope and content, has acquired significant differences from the terms "cultural and educational work", "cultural and leisure activities" (which have existed for a long time), and from those that have become widespread in Russia with

T.G. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilnikov. Socio-cultural activities

90s of the XX century the terms "social work" and "social pedagogy".

Of particular theoretical and practical importance for the learning process, in our opinion, is, on the one hand, the social component of knowledge about the essence and content of the subject, and on the other hand, the possibility of constructive use in this experience of synthesizing cultural data from various fields of modern science. Based on this thesis , one of the authors of this textbook in the article "Culturology and social pedagogy: conjugation lines" substantiated the priority place of such concepts as "man", "education", "socialization", "culture", "society" for that scientific and educational space, within which was actually born and a new specialty has grown - “Socio-cultural activity” (((Social work. -1993.-No. 2.-P. 40-41).

At the same time, due to the change in the ideological milestones of the post-Soviet Russian society in the field of cultural and educational work, an intensive revision of scientific and professional terminology began. So, in the scientific literature, the term “cultural and educational activity” was replaced by versions where the word “leisure” was chosen as the key meaning-forming term: “pedagogy of free time” and “pedagogy of leisure” (M.A. Ariarsky), "cultural and leisure activities" (A.D. Zharkov, N.F. Maksyutin), "culturology of leisure" (Yu.A. Streltsov), etc.

Other researchers, relying on the key term "socio-cultural activity", expand its meaning by introducing into scientific use the concepts of "socio-cultural management", "socio-cultural animation" (N.N. Yaroshenko), "socio-cultural design" ( Yu.D. Krasilnikov), “socio-cultural marketing” (V.E. Novatorov), “socio-cultural rehabilitation” (Yu.S. Mozdokova) and others. activity”, “cultural and educational activity”, ((pedagogy of free time”, ((pedagogy of leisure”, ((organization of leisure”, ((applied cultural studies.

However, later it became obvious that the term (cultural and leisure activities”, as well as ((pedagogy of leisure”, ((cultural studies of leisure” and others) is focused on a subject engaged in amateur, that is, non-professional cultural activities during his hours. leisure, recreation. In our opinion, the term ((cultural and leisure

Section ateI. Theoretical foundations of socio-cultural activities

activity” cannot fully define the concept of activity, which is the subject of a number of areas of traditional and modern social socio-cultural practice.

Modern socio-cultural practice not only includes amateur activities in the field of leisure, but, most importantly, is a huge pedagogical at its core, professional labor, extending far beyond the traditional do-sutan, such labor-intensive social spheres as the professional education system and the subsequent career of specialists, professional art and folk art, mass physical culture and professional sports, professional social work and socio-cultural rehabilitation, intercultural, as well as professional, exchange and cooperation.

The program-summary of the training course ((Socio-cultural activity" offers another, sustained in a strictly scientific and educational context, the definition of socio-cultural activity as an independent fundamental scientific and educational direction in the Russian information space, as a generic basis for a family of professional educational standards for specialties and specializations of the socio-cultural profile.

Nevertheless, this definition cannot be attributed to the comprehensive characteristics of socio-cultural activity as a unique historical and cultural, pedagogically directed and socially significant phenomenon in the history of human civilizations. That is why the following interpretation of this concept that we propose is more justified.

In a broad sense, socio-cultural activity should be considered as a historically conditioned, pedagogically directed and socially demanded process of transforming culture and cultural values ​​into an object of interaction between the individual and social groups in the interests of the development of each member of the society. stva.

T.G. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilnikov. Socio-cultural activities

It seems to us that such an interpretation largely reflects the dialectics of the development of society as a socio-cultural system, the transformation of spiritual values ​​and needs, reaching a new level of pedagogical generalization and understanding of the vast technological experience accumulated in the socio-cultural sphere, puts forward the theory and practice of socio-cultural activities in a number of independent pedagogical disciplines.

Pedagogical status of socio-cultural activities

Like any science, theory, methodology and organization of socio-cultural activities are built on new methodological foundations and approaches.

Here we should dwell in more detail on the dialectic of the development of the very term "approach" in relation to the subject of our course. If only a few decades ago, researchers of cultural and educational work limited themselves to using definitions such as “gender and age” or “individual” approach, at present, in the study of socio-cultural activities, we are seeing a significant expansion of this list. We are talking about systemic, synergetic, environmental, communicative, situational and a number of other approaches, thanks to which our ideas about the nature and possibilities of socio-cultural activity have undergone not only progressive, but truly revolutionary changes.

We have chosen an interdisciplinary view of the huge educational and educational experience in the field of leisure and creativity, which made it possible to define the process of upbringing and education itself from both pedagogical and cultural positions, to reveal the essence of this process as the entry of a person (child, teenager, adult) together. with a teacher, manager, technologist to the modern socio-cultural environment, to the richest world of culture and cultural values ​​created by mankind and nature, familiarization with the inexhaustible springs of folk pedagogy and folk art. The indispensable components of this process are the development, assimilation and appropriation of folk pedagogical experience and cultural values, and the basis of its content is the development in people of an active, interested attitude towards the spiritual wealth of each people, skills and abilities of creative activity and interaction with this world.

Section I Theoretical foundations of socio-cultural activities

Everything is permeated with the deepest pedagogical meaning - the very act of entering the subjects of socio-cultural activity, the Teacher and his Student, into an infinitely rich storehouse of cultural values, and the very moment of interaction of these subjects, built according to the laws of pedagogy, and the very constant focus of this interaction on the free choice of occupations , on the initiation of creative efforts and abilities of subjects.

From the very beginning, this pedagogical paradigm acquired a universal and systematic character. First, it extends both to the area of ​​leisure proper, free time, and to the vast area of ​​professionally employed, working time spent on highly skilled activities outside of leisure. Secondly, it determines the clear socio-pedagogical status of a huge detachment of professional specialists involved on an equal basis with non-professionals in numerous state and non-state institutions and organizations of a socio-cultural profile. Thirdly, it serves as a methodological foundation for the emergence, development and pedagogical justification of a family of previously unknown scientific and educational disciplinary areas, as well as a new generation of pedagogical, in fact, technologies, the source for which was the generic concept of "socio-cultural activity". Moreover, we are talking here about the continuous “budding” of such disciplines as socio-cultural animation, socio-cultural design, socio-cultural rehabilitation, socio-cultural technologies, etc., which is natural for the educational process.

Such a genesis of the pedagogical paradigm seems to be absolutely natural and objectively necessary. As a result, the pedagogical paradigm becomes, in essence, the dominant, backbone element of the structure, content, the very essence of the subject of socio-cultural activity. It acts as a fundamental position in the consideration, comparative analysis and evaluation of this subject.

Integrity and continuity of the subject of research

The pedagogical paradigm of socio-cultural activity as a scientific discipline largely determines its continuity and integration.

FOREWORD

The 21st century is the century of transformative processes not only in economic and social life, but also in the sphere of culture, which are taking place in almost all areas. The economic situation and the development of market relations in modern Russia were one of the reasons for the crisis state of a significant part of the country's population, deprived of the possibility of a full-fledged economic, political and cultural life.

Today, economic, social, and cultural programs in Russia should be evaluated according to a single criterion: how much they contribute to or hinder its national success in the 21st century, its entry into the ranks of the most developed and influential countries in the modern world.

At the beginning of the new millennium, all Russian life should be based on foundations of social existence that are different than before, deeply spiritual, valuable, and humanitarian in nature.

The formation of a humanistic soil as the basis for the socio-cultural reformation of Russia is just beginning in difficult conditions, when we are faced with the consequences of the political, economic, cultural crises experienced by society, the consequences of deep conflicts between culture and social relations in the country,

The ideas of cultural reformation and humanization are gradually being established in a society in which the movement of the social system from its previous state to a new one is carried out through disintegration and an increase in the social maladaptation of the individual. criminalization of the situation, individual national conflicts.

The turn of the XX-XXI centuries is characterized by an unprecedented surge of creative ideas, initiatives and movements in the field of culture, education, art, the search for ways of productive interaction and cooperation of various age, ethnic, professional and other socio-cultural groups and communities. The activation of these processes in Russian society is largely due to the emancipation of a huge internal creation.

T.G. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilnikov. Socio-cultural activities

human energy, fettered for a long period by ideological dogmas, prohibitions and persecution, the transition from loud declarations and slogans about "eternal friendship and brotherhood", "freedom of creativity", "freedom of speech" to a truly open and honest cultural pluralism, the formation of a new mentality all segments of the population through its participation in various types of socio-cultural activities.

Each country is characterized by a variety of types, forms, technologies of socio-cultural activities. In each of the national-cultural communities, a special, specific type of specialist in the socio-cultural sphere is in demand. That is why the development of foreign experience requires not only selectivity, but also a strictly objective assessment, since behind it there are traditions that are in many ways different from Russian ones. The task is. to enter European civilization without breaking away from their own roots, national and cultural characteristics. Turning today to the historical past of our country, trying to the best of our ability to revive, return part of the rejected, but not lost Russian culture, we are, as it were, trying anew to comprehend and traverse the long path that Russia has traveled from the age-old patriarchal, house-building way of life to the establishment of its own worthy social cultural status in the world community.

The historical and modern experience of social and cultural activity in Russia is not only of exceptional scientific and documentary value, but also contains the richest didactic material for training a specialist in the field of culture, education, art, and leisure.

The authors of the textbook offered to the attention of the reader had a far from simple task to generalize, formulate and substantiate the most fundamental patterns of socio-cultural activities carried out on a professional and non-professional basis, to identify the vectors of direction of scientific research in this area, to identify the essence and meaning of existing author's schools, methods, ideas and recommendations introduced into practice. With good reason, we can today talk about the constructiveness, innovative nature, social significance of the experience accumulated by higher and secondary specialists.

P foreword

educational institutions in this relatively new branch of pedagogical knowledge.

This experience testifies to the pronounced desire of young science to take a strong methodological position that is adequate to the situation existing in the country and in individual regions, to contribute to the development and implementation of a scientifically based and balanced socio-cultural policy, to make vigorous efforts to improve the quality of training and the coefficient of social the demand for specialists who own modern technologies.

A number of documentary references contained in the second section of this textbook confirm the priority of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts in introducing the specialty "Socio-cultural activity" 1 into the educational and pedagogical circulation and in connection with this, in April 1991, the creation of the department of the same name. Scientific specialty 13.00.05. - Theory, methodology and organization of social and cultural activities - included in the nomenclature of specialties of scientists of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation by Order of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation No. 17/4 of January 25, 2000. Focused on meeting the needs of the modern socio-cultural sphere, the new scientific and educational specialty, in essence, laid the foundation for the training at the national level of a qualitatively new generation of professional, including scientific and pedagogical, personnel in a wide range of areas and specializations.

Subject, objectives and sources of the course

As a branch of scientific knowledge and an academic subject, socio-cultural activity has all the necessary characteristics inherent in any independent specialty: an object, a subject, methods of study, a categorical and conceptual apparatus, author's schools that have developed in different regions of the country, an exclusive anthology, its own system of laws, principles and rules. Unlike other areas of cultural studies, socio-cultural activity is a wide area of ​​modern pedagogical knowledge, which has direct access to such fundamental concepts as culture, social pedagogy, socialization, social education, social environment, society, etc.

The system of social and cultural education today is faced with the need to sharply increase the requirements for its quality. The training of specialists for the socio-cultural sphere should be based in the existing conditions not so much on narrow individual practical experience as on a solid foundation of scientific knowledge. The scale, volume and content of such training are subject to scientifically sound evidence. i sociocultural dimensions.

A large detachment of managers, teachers, directors, technologists of various profiles, acting as organizers of social and cultural activities, coordinators of industry, federal, regional and local programs will have to participate in the further revival and development of Russian culture and art. The solution of the vital problems of Russian families, children, adolescents, regional problems in the historical, cultural, environmental, socio-psychological, religious and other spheres that are common to various social groups largely depends on the level of their qualifications and the efforts made.

It is they who will have to make a worthy contribution to blocking and neutralizing possible sources and centers of social and interethnic tension, to the socio-cultural rehabilitation of strata and groups of the population in dire need of social protection and support, to creating a favorable environment

for the development and implementation of socio-cultural activity and initiatives of the population in the field of leisure.

The difficulties of professional training in the specialty "Socio-cultural activity" are due to a number of circumstances. These include, first of all, the need for a deep understanding and appropriate adjustment of the content and technology of socio-cultural education of specialists in this field, its adaptation to the new realities that are emerging in the cultural life of society. This process implies not only the constant improvement of non-traditional specializations that have appeared in recent years, but also the development and deepening of the socio-culturological and pedagogical components in other specialties traditional for universities of culture and art in the field of folk art, library work, film photography, directing mass theatrical programs, etc. Finally, we are talking about ensuring an organic relationship of cultural and pedagogical training of specialists with the teaching of social, humanitarian and psychological-pedagogical disciplines and, which is especially important today, with the concepts of modern cultural studies, with the idea of ​​the national cultural revival of Russia.

The urgency of solving these problems is determined by a number of reasons. One of them is the need to overcome the fragmentation of organizational and pedagogical efforts in the formation of new specializations, to eliminate conservatism that hinders the smooth transition to new educational technologies. The other is connected with the requirements of expanding the boundaries of professional training for future specialists, obtaining by them the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for their own livelihood, career growth, psychological stability, and spiritual development.

In a certain sense, socio-cultural activity is a socially and pedagogically organized guarantor of the preservation, development and development of cultural values, creating a favorable basis for socio-cultural innovations and initiatives.

accumulates the experience and traditions of culture, enlightenment, education and leisure in Russia.

The social significance of this academic discipline lies in providing conditions for the further development of modern pedagogical and cultural science, strengthening the relationship between research and educational work in universities of culture and art, and the continuity of educational and research activities.

The subject "Socio-cultural activity (history, theoretical foundations, spheres of implementation, subjects, resources, technologies)" is by its nature a pedagogical and by its essence an integrative academic discipline. It arose and is developing at the intersection of pedagogy, cultural studies, history, sociology, psychology, technology, economics and management of the socio-cultural sphere.

Course subject - study of history, theoretical foundations, areas of implementation, subjects, resource base and modern technologies of socio-cultural activities.

The purpose of the course is prepare students for professional activities in the socio-cultural sphere, equip them with special knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of organizing pedagogically oriented socio-cultural activities, help them realize its role as an important social phenomenon, give them the skills to analyze practical experience and search for innovative solutions to social and cultural problems. cultural sphere, independent work on reference sources, documents and publications. The listed knowledge, abilities, skills, special professional qualities, formed on their basis, form the basis of the activities of future managers, teachers, technologists - organizers of work with social and cultural communities and groups that differ in demographic characteristics.

Sources of the course, their brief description

The qualitative certainty of the course lies in its focus on expanding the cultural competence of the population, on its inclusion in the standard network of socio-cultural communication, the formation of people, starting from childhood, the skills of socially useful socio-cultural activities, the organization of full-fledged spiritual and physical development, leisure and creativity.

The source study and educational and methodological base of the course "Socio-cultural activity" is formed by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Education", Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation ■ on Culture, the Federal Target Program "Development and Preservation: Culture and Arts in the Russian Federation" (2001-2005 .), National doctrine of education "Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation for 2001-2005", "The concept of modernization of Russian education for the period up to 2010". The Development Strategy of the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts for 2003-2007, developed by the teaching staff, determines the progressive development of the university, the conduct of fundamental research in the socio-cultural sphere, the scientific and methodological support of the new generation of educational specialties introduced in recent years and specializations.

In addition, the scientific and pedagogical experience accumulated in recent years by teams of scientists from universities of culture and art, a huge detachment of specialists in the socio-cultural sphere, was taken into account.

Foreword

This experience allows us to judge the constructiveness, innovative nature, social significance of today's activities of socio-cultural institutions in the field of education, art, sports, in the field of children's, teenage, family leisure and creativity.

It is assumed that with the accumulation of new scientific data and the methodological enrichment of the educational process, the content of the textbook will be adjusted and supplemented taking into account new trends in the study of historical experience, methodological and theoretical foundations, resource base and modern technologies of socio-cultural activities.

In this regard, it is necessary to single out the humanistic orientation of this course, which contributes to the spiritual and moral development of the future specialist as a tolerant person who knows how to sympathize and be socially active in society. Forming his own civil, professional status, coming into contact with many pain points of today's reality, a specialist in the socio-cultural sphere is called upon to take on the high mission of participating in the noble cause of "educating an active, enterprising, independent citizen, an enlightened, cultured person, a caring family man and a master in his professional business, capable of constant life self-improvement (Selevko GK The concept of self-education // Modern concepts of education. - Yaroslavl, 2000). It is directly related to the responsible functions of social protection, social support and socio-cultural, psychological rehabilitation of the population groups most in need of mercy and care.

As one of the areas of modern pedagogical and culturological knowledge, socio-cultural activity considers as its main object and subject the socio-pedagogical and socio-cultural human environment, possible ways and forms of active influence of this environment on the spiritual development of various social, age, professional and ethnic groups.

The application and development of humanitarian technologies is reflected not only in well-known traditional, but also in new types of socio-cultural activities - socio-cultural management and marketing, advertising and information support

T.G. Kiseleva, Yu.D. Krasilnikov. Socio-cultural activities

and public relations, design, artistic and social design, image-making, etc. Teaching these types of activities, united by a common informational, professional and communicative dominant, determines the main content of modern socio-cultural education.

Socio-cultural activity as a large block of related professions, an academic subject and a branch of scientific knowledge is based on a comprehensive study of historical experience, theoretical foundations, subjects, resource base and modern technologies for organizing various forms and types of life of social communities and a single individual in various socio-cultural regional and national conditions.

The theoretical foundations of the course are subject to the identification of the socio-cultural content of various types of human life, between which its vital, fundamental resources are distributed - time and energy. The subject of consideration in the course is the socio-cultural context of such types of human activities as life support, socialization, communication, animation and recreation, and each of them assumes the development of a certain amount of knowledge, skills, value orientations and stereotypes of behavior, a set of regulatory and legal criteria based on the appropriate constitutional provision (economic, legal, organizational, etc.),

The content of the textbook is focused on mastering such aspects of knowledge as mastering the richness of the spiritual life of each individual nation, its socio-cultural structure, traditions and social norms of behavior, spiritual goals and values; providing opportunities for equal cultural dialogue and interaction between representatives of various age, social, ethnic, professional and other groups of the population; creation of conditions for interactive communication of people, their inclusion in the world educational, informational, professional, general cultural space.

Due to the fact that the subject area of ​​socio-cultural activity is a combination of the original basis with the synthesis of scientific disciplines associated with it, the following grouping of initial, basic methods and technologies is legitimate:

a) adapted to the specific conditions of socio-cultural

P foreword

general scientific methods and technologies (assessment, diagnostic, research, developing, stabilizing, etc.),

b) special methods and technologies developed by practical experience, subordinated to the most rational achievement of the goals facing cognitive, creative, recreational and other types of socio-cultural activities.

Special methods and technologies, with the help of which the socio-cultural environment is formed, developed and mastered, provide for the use in the most typical conditions of universal means, methods and methods of socio-cultural activity - economic, legal, organizational, pedagogical, psychological and others. In a more expanded form, the methodology (technology) of socio-cultural activity appears to students in the form of a wide range of pedagogically meaningful educational, educational and educational, recreational and health-improving methods, which are constantly replenished and enriched by attracting both historical and modern experience accumulated in sphere of culture, education, art, sports, everyday life and leisure.

In the process of teaching the course, the following are provided: lecture-dialogue, lecture-demonstration, lecture-discussion; seminar-interview, seminar-discussion, seminar-"round table", seminar-auction of creative ideas, etc. Practical classes can be held in the form of a business game, a club of alternative ideas, individual defense of a socio-cultural project in a classroom, in a leisure center, at an enterprise, at a deputy commission, in the form of an educational and creative laboratory, individual lessons, consultations, meetings with heads of cultural, educational, and art institutions. dos \ ha. sports. state and public bodies of culture and social protection, scientists, journalists, foreign guests

Based on the necessary sociological information and an extensive database of methods and technologies used, students prepare essays, control and term papers, perform practical tasks, participate in the development and implementation of various historical, cultural, educational, information-developing, entertainment and gaming, artistic and entertainment, environmental socio-cultural projects and programs

a small ratio of time for classroom lectures and for group seminars and practical classes in an approximate ratio of volumes of 1: 2 (lectures no more than 40% of the study time, seminars and practical classes up to 60%). For individual work of a student with a teacher on the topics of course projects, methods of socio-cultural design, analysis of the stage of work carried out and design results, 10 hours are provided (according to the curriculum).

The material presented in the program in terms of its content and forms of training sessions (discussion, game, projective, practical, etc.) may vary depending on the intended purpose, the composition of students, the number of hours and other features of the educational process.

The material must also be adapted in relation to the specific features of individual types of education: vocational (pre-university) training through a general education school, college, college, etc.; professional (university) stationary training; professional (university) training in full-time, part-time, part-time departments; professional (university) training in regional branches of the university of culture, including distance learning; professional university training - magistracy and bachelor's degree; postgraduate training in the system of additional professional education.

The Formation of Socio-Cultural Activities: A Historical Review

UDC 304.44

L. A. Belyaeva, M. A. Belyaeva

SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITY: STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MODEL

The authors, relying on the works of a number of well-known domestic scientists and following the methodology of system and activity approaches, offer their vision of a universal structural and functional model of socio-cultural activity, including subjects, goals, means, results, functions and conditions of socio-cultural activity.

Key words: culture, pedagogical activity, social and cultural activity, structural and functional model

The authors construct the universal structural content and functional model of socio-cultural activity that includes actors, goal, means, results, functions and conditions of socio-cultural activities. The authors draw on works offamous Russian scientists and follow a systematic methodology, activity and functional approaches.

Keywords: culture, pedagogical activity, socio-cultural activity, structural and functional model

The study of socio-cultural activity (SKA) as a special, relatively independent subject of scientific interest in our country began relatively recently, which is why the theory of SKD is in the process of actively searching for its methodological foundations, adequate scientific approaches, developing a conceptual apparatus and solving other problems of scientific growth. knowledge in this area.

An important problem that complicates the construction of the SKD theory is the variety of methodological approaches and paradigms to its analysis, which leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to carry out a methodological synthesis in understanding the essence of SKD, since from different positions, due to its complexity, it appears to researchers with different facets.

N. N. Yaroshenko drew attention to this in the History and Methodology of the Theory of Socio-Cultural Activity. He recorded and described achievements in the field of studying SKD from the standpoint of sociological, cultural, pedagogical, technological, economic approaches and a number of paradigms: private (civil) initiative, pedagogical influence, social activity.

A great contribution to the development of the problems of SKD, substantiation of it as a new educational and

scientific direction, were introduced by T. G. Kiseleva and Yu. D. Krasilnikov, who published one of the first textbooks on the history, theory and technologies of the area under consideration. It shows the SKD as a relatively independent and specialized area of ​​social practice, performing humanistic functions, contributing to the creative development of the individual, improving the quality of social interaction; as "a historically conditioned, pedagogically directed and socially demanded process of transforming culture and cultural values ​​into an object of interaction between the individual and social groups in the interests of the development of each member of society" .

This definition already contains a synthesis of some approaches to the analysis of SKD. However, it is not fully satisfactory that the very concept of socio-cultural activity is subsumed under a more general one - a process that does not carry a specific semantic load and means only a successive change of states or a sequence of actions. In our opinion, from a methodological point of view, it is more important to understand the ACS not as a process, but as a type of activity. From the point of view of observing the logical rules for defining concepts, clarifying the

prespecific relationship is much more productive if the generic concept is rich in content and has a good scientific development. The latter is just characteristic of the activity category, while the process category is less adequate for solving the problem of constructing a structural-functional model of SKD.

The category of activity has an important methodological significance for all social sciences, including the theory of SKD. At the same time, it should be noted that although this category is used in the theory of SKD, however, its methodological significance for understanding the essence, content, structure and functions of the area of ​​activity under consideration is disclosed, in our opinion, insufficiently. Perhaps this is due to the ambiguous attitude to the activity approach that has developed in domestic science. However, we support the idea of ​​discussing the prospects of the activity methodology, carried out by the journal "Problems of Philosophy" and share the reasoned position of V. A. Lektorsky that "the activity approach in modern conditions not only makes sense, but also has interesting prospects" .

From the point of view of philosophy, activity is understood as a way of being social reality, a way of human existence, a human way of relating to the world (G.S. Batishchev, L.P. Bueva, M.S. Kagan, A.V. Margulis) and more specifically - as the activity of the subject, aimed at the object or other subjects with a specific purpose.

From this position, SKD also represents the activity of various subjects (individual, group, institutional) pursuing certain goals and using certain means. As a result, SKD reproduces in its structure the constitutive elements of any activity, interconnected in a certain way, due to which the activity turns into a system. These include the subject, object, goal, means, result, as well as the conditions in which the activity is carried out. That is, to define the essence,

the structure and functions of the ACS means to reveal and show the specifics of each of its structural elements and give, if possible, a holistic description of the subjects, objects, goals, means, results, functions and conditions of the ACS. Thus, its structure is not arbitrary, but is set by the structure of human activity as such and is revealed in the context of the dialectic of the general, particular and singular.

The next step in the ascent from the abstract to the concrete in the development of the conceptual apparatus of the SKD theory involves the clarification of its relationship with pedagogical activity. If we consider SKD as a kind of pedagogical activity, then it should be assumed that it bears not only the stamp of activity as such (general), but also the specific features of pedagogical activity (special). Therefore, further, based on the characteristics of pedagogical activity, it is possible to extrapolate its features to the SKD.

This step was taken by N. N. Yaroshenko. In his reasoning about the nature of the SKD, based on the ideas of M. S. Kagan that culture is a form, social interaction is content, he concluded that the philosopher does not indicate a mechanism that ensures a qualitative transformation of social relations under the influence of culture. The idea is especially important to us.

N. N. Yaroshenko, that such a mechanism is the pedagogical nature of the activity, and the SKD "can be understood as a special type of pedagogical activity, in the process of which the values ​​of culture essentially determine the formation of qualitatively new social relations ...".

Based on our socio-philosophical study of pedagogical activity, we substantiated its communicative nature, highlighting its socio-cultural functions. Based on this, pedagogical activity was defined as an organized form of interpersonal communication, in which the processes of social inheritance and socio-cultural reproduction of a person

become meaningful. Therefore, SKD as a type of pedagogical activity has the same characteristics as pedagogical activity, being an organized form of interpersonal communication, within which social inheritance and sociocultural reproduction and human development are purposefully carried out.

Considering pedagogical activity and, consequently, socio-cultural activity as a way of social inheritance and socio-cultural reproduction of a person, we inevitably turn to culture as a means of these types of activity. The idea of ​​culture, its essence, structure makes it possible to discover and substantiate the internal structure of pedagogical activity, its content, principles of implementation and extrapolate these features to the SKD.

Based on the existing interpretations of culture, several of the most important approaches to its study can be distinguished: axiological (culture as a value), activity (culture as a technology and product of activity), humanistic (culture as a way of humanizing a person). They point to the close connection between culture and activity, therefore it is no coincidence that a number of researchers define culture through activity, highlighting the technical and technological and productive facets of culture (M. S. Kagan, E. S. Markaryan, and others).

Recognition of the activity nature of culture leads to the idea of ​​isomorphism between the structure of human activity and the structure of culture. This idea is based, for example, on the idea of ​​the internal structure of culture as a “triple helix” by M. S. Kagan. The content of the first spiral, in his opinion, is the culture generated by objective activity, the second - the culture of communication, the third - artistic culture.

This model of culture reflects its connection with activity, however, in our opinion, the human-creative function of culture is not fully manifested in it. It seems to us that in order to understand a person as your

From the point of view of culture, it would be more productive to define culture as a positive experience of mankind, which has a human-creative function, in the structure of which the structure of the human activity relation to the world is reproduced. Because of this, culture really has three layers, but they do not fully coincide with those layers of culture that M. S. Kagan singles out. More justified, from our point of view, is the allocation in the culture of practical (technical and technological), theoretical (cognitive-informational) and value-normative layers.

The indicated structure of the human-creative function of culture helps to structurally represent the process of a person's entry into culture, i.e., his inculturation. This process means the reproduction of man as the subject of a practical, theoretical and value attitude to the world. At the same time, the culture of the individual expresses the degree of compliance of its activities with the highest standards achieved by mankind in its practical, theoretical and value attitude to the world. Being a type of pedagogical activity, SKD performs this function in its own way. The specificity lies in the features of the structural components of the ACS (subjects, objects, goals, means, results), technologies and conditions for their implementation.

Having considered the ratio of pedagogical activity and SKD as a generic relation, it is necessary to find out the ratio of socio-cultural and socio-pedagogical activity, since a number of authors consider this to be a very significant problem (A. I. Arnoldov, V. G. Bocharova, M. A. Gala-guzova , I. A. Lipsky).

Socio-pedagogical activity has much in common with pedagogical activity, but at the same time differs from it. Firstly, it is not program-normative, but is situational in nature. Secondly, it does not have the status of universality, i.e., not all people act as the subject of socio-pedagogical activity (professional

physical and non-professional pedagogical activity), but only certain categories of them. And, thirdly, it can be carried out not only within the framework of educational institutions, but also in a much wider socio-cultural space, which makes it similar to the SKD. SKD covers a wide area of ​​society, represented by a variety of institutions and organizations involved in the transmission of culture from generation to generation, its preservation, reproduction and multiplication.

An important methodological principle for determining the essence of this or that activity is an indication of its connection with the needs that determine its existence. In the case of socio-pedagogical activity, we believe that it is designed to serve the needs of an individual or group in socio-cultural adaptation and self-realization. Socio-pedagogical activity is a way to optimize the process of socialization based on the improvement of the subject of socialization and humanization of the environment. Hence, socio-pedagogical activity is a type of activity of society that is associated with the creation of conditions and the provision of assistance and support to people in the most effective satisfaction of the needs for socio-cultural adaptation and self-realization. The same function is also characteristic of the SKD, so this definition does not yet sufficiently indicate its specifics.

It should be noted that the need for socio-pedagogical activity arises when an individual, personality, group develops a problematic situation in relations with the environment. Therefore, if the subject of pedagogical activity is every person, then the subject of social pedagogical activity is a person who finds himself in a problematic situation of interaction with his social environment (other people, social institutions, system of values). The essence of this problematic situation is a contradiction, which is based on a discrepancy or

waiting for the needs of the individual and the possibilities of the environment for their implementation, or between the requirements of the environment and the possibilities of the individual to meet them. In this regard, SKD is significantly different, since it deals with an individual who is driven by an interest in a particular cultural activity and realizes his interest in his free time.

Thus, socio-cultural and socio-pedagogical activities are related by the fact that they are a way of harmonizing the relationship of a person, a group with the environment based on meeting the needs for socio-cultural adaptation and self-realization, carried out through the development of the individual, on the one hand, and changes in the qualitative characteristics of the socio-cultural environment. -with another. The fundamental differences in their functioning lie in the conditions under which these types of pedagogical activity are in demand by the individual and society.

In modern conditions, a person throughout his life repeatedly has to deal with changes in the social environment. This leads to the fact that the past experience of the subject becomes insufficient or unsuitable for life in new conditions, and the person finds himself in a situation expressing the need to change either himself or the environment, or both.

The problems of social adaptation are especially relevant during periods of social instability, which manifests itself in a sharp, dynamic change in the socio-cultural conditions of people's lives. As a result, the individual develops an adaptive need. An unsatisfied adaptive need of a person leads to a deterioration in his social well-being and, ultimately, to a crisis, maladaptation. At the same time, the task of both socio-cultural and socio-pedagogical activities is to increase the level of adaptation of the subject, mainly due to the change, development or correction of his personality. This function of socio-pedagogical and socio-cultural activities can be called the optimization function

processes of socialization, social adaptation and self-realization of the personality. The flip side of this function is to improve the quality of social interaction.

Summarizing the above, we can conclude that the essence of the SKD is that it is a historically defined way of socio-cultural reproduction and development of a person as a subject of culture and social relations in the socio-cultural space of cultural institutions, education and free time of the individual.

The mechanism for the implementation of SKD is inter-subject communication in the space-time continuum of socio-cultural fields, aimed at optimizing the processes of socialization, self-realization and social interaction.

The structure of the ACS is given: firstly,

the structure of the activity itself; secondly, sociocultural fields as relatively independent areas of social space; thirdly, the types of culture that require the development of special forms, methods and technologies for their preservation, transmission and reproduction.

Let us turn to the question of the functions of the ACS, as it is considered in the modern theory of this activity. Its solution bears the stamp of polyparadigmality, which is why there is no clear idea about the number of functions of the SKD and about whether the functions of some areas of this activity (club work, library work, the activities of museums, leisure centers, institutions of additional education) can be transferred to the activities of others institutions. The presence of such a problem is also evidenced by a detailed review of the pedagogical literature of the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries, devoted to the analysis of the development of the functions of cultural, educational and socio-cultural activities in it, conducted by V. M. Ryabkov. He noted the great diversity of approaches and the functions of the SKD identified by the authors and the cultural, educational and cultural activities included in it.

leisure activities.

We find the most interesting examples of classifications of SKD functions in T. G. Kiseleva and Yu. D. Krasilnikov. They note that “numerous types of socio-cultural activities perform certain social functions that simultaneously compensate and complement each other. Depending on the duration of certain stages in the development of socio-cultural activities, its functions are divided into permanent (basic, inherent in most socio-cultural institutions) and auxiliary (temporary), which arise and disappear at certain time intervals. The authors identify the main functions: communicative, informational and educational, cultural, recreational and health-improving. In addition, among the permanent functions of the SKD, a developmental function is named, which is considered as the basis for classifying the functions of socio-cultural activities. T. G. Kiseleva and Yu. D. Krasilnikov believe that “each of the functions of socio-cultural activity is imbued with socially protective, rehabilitating content, aimed at stimulating social activity, spiritual rehabilitation and adaptation of the individual, ensuring continuous education and spiritual enrichment, developing creative abilities of the individual, the creation of maximum conditions for the full-fledged socio-cultural creativity of people.

The above passage essentially contains an indication of a whole range of ACS functions, so the question of their ordering remains open.

To create the structural-functional model of SKD that interests us, it is necessary to proceed from the features of the functional approach and, above all, from the characteristics of its basic concept - function. The function is one of the most essential characteristics, especially those phenomena and objects that have a complex structure, representing a system. No system

cannot be correctly understood if the nature of its actions, the mode of behavior of the system and its elements as a certain set of functions, is not understood. This circumstance explains the widespread use of the functional approach as one of the most important methods of scientific research and the ambiguity of the very concept of function.

An essential feature of a function is that it is a dynamic characteristic, which is understood as an activity or the result of an activity. At the same time, the function is considered as a manifestation of the object outside, in relation to other objects or the system as a whole, as the behavior of a part as a whole, directly in sociology - as an indication of the role that a particular social institution or private social process performs in relation to the whole. Therefore, an important methodological problem is the selection of the whole in relation to which this function is performed, since its character is determined by the nature of the whole.

Following the methodology of the activity and system-functional approaches, we propose to display the ACS in the form of a universal (extremely general) structural and functional model (see table).

Thus, the universal structural and functional model of SKD includes subjects, purpose, means, results, functions and conditions of SKD. It can be used as a basis for systematizing the definitions of the researched area of ​​activity.

Analysis based on the proposed model of the definitions of the concept of SKD, available in the scientific literature, allows us to divide them into groups. In the first one, we include definitions that deal with CDS as a way of social inheritance of culture from generation to generation, from subject to subject, for example: “activities to identify, preserve, form, disseminate and master cultural values”; “due to moral and intellectual motives, a socially expedient activity

capacity for the creation, development, preservation of cultural values” .

Universal structural and functional model of socio-cultural activity

The second group of definitions of SKD should include those in which the emphasis is placed on the interests and needs of the individual, social groups in the development of their abilities, familiarization with culture by means of SKD: “a set of relationships, activities carried out by specific forms, methods and means based on the interests shown personality in cultural life, interaction and communication of people in their free time”; “historically conditioned, pedagogically directed and socially in demand

Subjects Institutional and individual subjects

Purpose Introduction of the individual to culture

Means Culture as a positive experience of mankind, forms and methods of its transmission

Result Formation and development of a person as a subject of culture and social relations (social interaction)

1. Socio-cultural space Libraries, museums, clubs, palaces, theaters, philharmonic societies, institutions of additional education, institutions of vocational education, socio-cultural services and tourism, family and household sphere, space of physical culture and sports

2. Individual space The space of free time of the individual

3. Personal needs Needs for worldview, meaning of life, creativity, productive self-realization

1. General functions Sociocultural reproduction and human development. Preservation, multiplication and transmission of culture (social inheritance). Optimization of the processes of socialization, self-realization and social interaction

2. Specific functions Functions derived from: types of culture; socio-cultural space; needs of the individual

the process of transforming culture and cultural values ​​into an object of interaction between the individual and social groups in the interests of the development of each member of society” .

The third group should include such definitions of SKD, which reveal its role in social processes: “a set of pedagogical technologies that ensure the transformation of cultural values ​​into regulators of social interaction, and also technologically determine socializing educational processes”; "the essence and meaning of socio-cultural activity lies in the direct focus on the active functioning of the individual in a particular social environment, on the formation of his socio-cultural status, the choice and implementation of adequate forms of his participation in socio-cultural processes" .

The fourth group can be made up of complex definitions of socio-cultural activity, striving to more fully capture its characteristic features. For example, socio-cultural activities are considered

is defined as “the cultural activity of social subjects: a) to create cultural values ​​(creativity); b) the development of the abilities of the individual and the service of their creative activity; c) communication, i.e., the dissemination, preservation and public use of all types of cultural values.

Assessing the prospects of SKD on the basis of the proposed structural and functional

model, it should be said that its development is due, on the one hand, to the fundamental needs of society in the socio-cultural reproduction and development of a person as a subject of culture and a subject of public relations and in the social inheritance of culture, i.e., the preservation, multiplication and transmission of cultural values ​​from generation to generation. On the other - the individual-personal demand for culture, which is based primarily on the existential needs of a person in the worldview, the meaning of life, creativity, productive self-realization.
