Author: Levina Tatiana, Ph.D. of philosophical sciences, docent at the School of philosophy, National research university Higher school of economics (Moscow, Russia), e-mail: tvlevina@hse.ru
Summary: Revolutionary in art, Malevich left reach theoretical legacy behind, that often differenciates from an image, that have been made about him. Theoretical tractate “Suprematism. World as non-objectivity or eternal peace” have been written after suggestion of Mikhail Gershenzon to write down philosophical ideas appeared in the mind. In this tractate Malevich revealed himself as a classical thinker – he meditates on God, his perfection and other attributes, such as eternity. He recalls Descartes ontological argument and the problem of cogito. Afterwards, he speculates on man’s nature after the Fall and on eternal peace of God, evoking reminiscences with Leibniz’s “Theodicy”. Ideas of Malevich can also be juxtaposed with Plato’s path to inteligible Forms and Kant’s thanscendental subject, as well as ideas of St Augustin, Anselm of Canterbury and Nicolaus of Cusa. I would like to draw new picture of intellectual world of Malevich the thinker, that certainly would illuminate the sense of his works of art.

A CONCEPTUAL ROLE OF “LA MEMOIRE INVOLONTAIRE” IN WALTER BENJAMIN'S DIALECTICS OF DREAM AND AWAKENING (“ARCADES” PROJECT)
UDC 159.963.01
Author: Travnikov Semyon, Ph.D. Student at the State Institute of Art Studies (Moscow, Russia), e-mail: travnikov.semyon@gmail.com
Summary: Our main thesis suggests that concept of “la memoire involontaire” for Walter Benjamin was a mean of awakening “dreaming society”. A primary source for our research is non-finished book “Arcades”. “Awakening”, as it referred in “Arcades”, was a revolution in the worldview: an impetus of desire was replaced by dialectical standstill. The concept of involuntary memory is a good example of “waking consciousness”. This type of memory means preserving impressions without fixation in a conscious experience, and re-experiencing of them by referring to individual triggers of memory like cultural artifacts, smells, visual images etc.
Keywords: Walter Benjamin, “Arcades”, dream, kitsh, la memoire involontaire

The clue was mostly in Klein’s representation of the void, in particular, in the eponymous exhibition of his in Galerie Iris Clert in 1958. The article aims to reassess the concept of void in Klein’s oeuvre. Its examination in the context of the Nouveau Réalisme and contemporary to Klein artistic situation reveals it as a totally self-contained phenomenon which should be released from already consolidating but essentially superficial links to the various “void” traditions of the twentieth century.
