Aspects of the "Carnivalization" of contemporary cultural practices

The relevance of the article is due to the need to reflect on a new cultural phenomenon that
presents the cultural practices of modern chronotopos. The philosophical and cultural concepts of
the state of culture are analyzed and the tendencies reflecting instability (transitivity), uncertainty,
ambivalence of cultural practices and carnivalization of all spheres of life are revealed. The
philosophical reflection of the essence, character, signs of carnivalization made it possible to
explicate the phenomenon of "carnival" through its ideological and behavioral components. In
the context of the dialogue of medieval and contemporary culture, the essence of carnivalization
as a phenomenon of culture is revealed. This context is considered as a special means of restoring
the integrity of worldview, world outlook, world attitude. The problem of cultural practices
orientation to their value-semantic (axiological) uplift is also actualized. The nature and essence
of such categories as "carnival laughter", "carnival freedom", "carnival behavior", "ambivalence"
are investigated, characteristic features of carnivalisation are identified and it can be considered
as a way of modeling and constructing contemporary cultural reality. The fact that the modern
cultural space creates conditions not only for the functioning of carnivalization within the primary
function - renewal, creation of a new life-world, but also a new world-view and meaning-making.
The constructive role of cultural dialogue in the process of praxeological growth of the subjects of
carnivalization has been determined. It is shown that the concept of carnivalization of Mikhail
Bakhtin remains relevant at the present stage of cultural development. The discovery of
carnivalization as a certain signal of the crisis of culture and the way out of it gives reason to
consider carnivalization as a factor of self-organization of culture, as a complex organized system.
