Fascitization by ‘nox-culture’** and “renegadeness” as reference points of modern reality

Menshikova E.R. Candidate of Cultural Research, independent expert, philosopher, theorist of art and of science, Moscow, E-mail: elen_menshikova@mail.ru, ORCID: 0000-0002-5738-0732

“The Renegadeness” is an intermediate culture. The modern «renegadeness», saturated with the corporate spirit, prays only to one god — Deception, considers that the triad: a pleasure, a esires and a consumption — are modus (modus vivendi) of his existence, and therefore remains at the lowest level of organic, for which “storm and onslaught” (according to Darwin and Schiller) was important (and remains) — emotions and violence — those spears that lead their colonus (holder) to success in a ‘primitive way’ — likening among similar ones. The Renegadeness, hustling and standing in line of robotics for artificial intelligence, reduces civilization to a “consumer basket”, hoping to sooth a headache by virtuality, developing pharmacological addiction, developing cosmic escapism, getting used to and not resisting artificial food and laziness, taking to the needle of “blissful idleness”, and proclaiming the manifesto of the generation “indolence” as “the last argument of the kings,” thus gaining for itself an estate equal in privilege to the aristocracy. And this simple packaging of “the bee`s knees” — the so-called elites — is now accessible to everyone thanks to anonymity, offshore zones, scattered on the planet by dandelion troops, usurious offers of banks, profanity of art and education, and spraying consumer goods. Fascitization by 'nox-culture' sets as its goal — “dislike for the native” — through contempt for it, which, with systematic use (frequent), and without proper immersion in the field of Knowledge (objective and universal), instills hatred — first in the minds, and then in the hearts, hardening and de-energizing the Mind, suppressing the Consciousness of others consciously, deliberately placing in the 'region of Darkness' by ignorance, forcing them to instincts — by instincts stupefying, excluding 'independent comprehension' — totally. The word “fascist” was intended to denote people united in a single bundle (from Latin fascis — bunch, bundle) of a nationalist group — “fascists”, it is from “fascist” that the word “fascitization” (an noun of an abstract concept) follows, meaning “process” as the “activities" of a certain group of people — “fascists”. Fascitization by ‘nox-culture’ is the process of forming alien beliefs in the mental “environment” of a single person involved, using an integrated approach and systematic “dissimilarity”, the process of diminishing the “human” in a Human. And “human” in this context of reasoning should be taken as “a person's ability to mental activity”, which allows him to develop his own Consciousness to the size of the universe, creating writing, and helps to form “Culture” as a “sphere of knowledge and reflection of the world” and the space of his dwelling. Ready-made constructions of 'thinking' — clichés, accustoming to the “formality” of understanding any “concept” that explains this or that event/phenomenon, the essence of the “object” or the essence of what is happening/happened, create the habit of “addiction” and “insane absorption” — unrestrained and passive — extraneous “content”, taken in like spaghetti — in one gulp, on clusters — torn courses designed to increase not so much education as “self-esteem”, compiled on the basis of stolen cribs of other people's monographs — give only a temporary effect of 'satisfaction' with life and itself — and soon “greedy accumulation”, troglodytic, leads to “indigestion”, which results (pun intended) in the impoverishment of not only the mind, but also physical ill health: anemia, apathy, panic, melancholy, despair, which, in its in turn, they breed fears — incubi and Goya's “caprichos”, and what kind of “gangrenes” do not crawl out of them! Hatred is that Gorgon that devours you from the inside, and with your full consent, forming the very ‘optimizaing mold’ that now, like a multiplied “portrait of Dorian Gray”, mockingly looks at you from its embrasures of contentment.

** При переводе использовано латинское слово nox, что напрямую отсылает к «ночи» и ‘ночным’ коннотациям, обладая широким, метафорическим «планом выражения», — мы воспользовались денотатом «умственная слепота / неразумие» (Латинско-русский словарь / О.А. Петрученко. — Репринт 9-го издания 1914 года. — М.: Эксмо, 2017. — С. 418) — и таким образом возник неологизм как ‘английская версия’ вводимого философского термина ‘инокультура’, но в английской транскрипции: ‘Nox-Culture’.

(продолжение)

В последнее время иносказание в научных кругах воспринимается в штыки, особенно остро реагируют на метафоры (одиночные или развернутые) — собственно на «образную речь», витиеватость слога, при явной логике суждений, выражаемой внятным русским языком, что на фоне разрастающейся лихорадкой «канцелярской эпидемии» в контексте ‘диктата англицизмов’ с обширной суффиксацией на -ция, -ность и т.п., ставшего уже «нормой», оказывается ‘избыточным явлением’, словно лишняя виньетка, меняющая геометрический орнамент на растительный — как бы бегство из постиндустриального рая в средневековую не схоластику, но «мир труверов и трубадуров» — анти-рай, а значит, запретный, грешный, как «сад наслаждений» Босха, ‘ад для всякого мышления’. Явная и даже не скрываемая агрессия на такую речь, полную иносказанного Смысла, вызывает в памяти жизненную трагедию А. Платонова, которого за «иносказательность» окрестили ‘юродивым’ и определили таким образом его «место» в иерархии «соцреализма». Однако в своем докладе я предпочла использовать приемы метафорики с тем, чтобы избежать соотнесенности моих суждений и положений, вынесенных в заглавие, с инвективами, что могут задеть чье-либо самолюбие. Однако острота восприятия, проявленная непосредственно на заседании секции Х Конгресса этнографов и антропологов России (03.07.2013 в НИИ Киноискусства), выявила актуальность рассматриваемой мною темы” (июль, 2013 г.).
