Verbal and non-verbal communication as a way of transmitting national meanings in socio-cultural syntheses (based on the material of nineteenth-century Slobozhans)

authors: Lesya Panchenko, Nataliia Radionova

Urgency of the research. The information world is a dynamic combination of information, communication, and digital technologies, mastery of which requires new “actions”. The algorithm and selection of meanings are determined by philosophical communication, which synthetically combines verbal and non-verbal communication.

Target setting. Philosophical communication sets worldview guidelines, performing therapeutic and educational functions. Turning to the functional potential of philosophical communication is especially important when defining and preserving national meanings in the context of modern tasks of national-patriotic education in Ukraine.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Practical representations of non-verbal communication in the cultural and educational space are developed in the works of T. Kosmeda, T. Osipova, and V. Slipetska. Philosophical communication at the theoretical level was considered in foreign and domestic studies by K.-O. Apel, Y. Habermas, V. Goesle, A. Yermolenko, L. Sytnychenko and K. Jaspers.

The research objective. The objective is to identify the functional range of philosophical communication, considering the possibility of its retransmission by means of verbal and non-verbal communication of national meanings in socio-cultural syntheses.

The statement of basic materials. The historical factuality and semantics of the politically and administratively organized “great imperial culture”, which marked the political boundaries of the unified socio-cultural space of Tsarist Russia, paradoxically triggered a patriotic response within the historical memory structures of the Ukrainian people. Philosophical communication played a significant role in the spiritual awakening of the Ukrainian nation. The specificity of contemporary communicative processes in everyday life was shaped by the ethnic, national, and confessional diversity of the local population, along with the imposition of educational and cultural meanings from the Enlightenment. The translation of national meanings into socio-cultural syntagms, including innovations such as civic centers, local theater, and journalism brought about by the “Book World”, was achieved through philosophical communication using verbal and non-verbal means.

Conclusions. In times of existential challenges and threats to the existence of the national state, philosophical communication generates transhistorical meanings of national-patriotic education. The local experience of preserving national identity and fighting for freedom, acquired under strict control by the Tsarist government in the Slobozhan region in the 19th century, is reflected in the identities of modern Ukrainians.
