We consider the cultural aspect of communication and personality as subjects of communicative processes.

It is proved that the transition from writing to the printed book was a difficult process of gains and losses.

HISTORY OF ART

BRUEGEL’S SPRING, OR WHAT WOULD THE MISSING PAINTING OF THE “MONTHS OF THE YEAR” CYCLE HAVE LOOKED LIKE?
UDC 7.034(492)+7.071.1+75.047
Author: Demenina Ekaterina, 1st year student of the master's program “History of foreign art 15-20 centuries: contexts and interpretations” of the Faculty of Art History of the Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow, Russia), e-mail: artbruegel@gmail.com
Summary: Nowadays there are known five paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, which represent his cycle “Months of the year”. However, inventories of the 16 century preserved records, according to which originally there were six paintings dedicated to twelve months. Bruegel continues the tradition of images “labours of the month” largely based on iconography, common in the Franco-Flemish miniature in the XV-XVI centuries. We prove the link of the cycle by Bruegel with illuminated books of hours of Simon Bening’s workshop, analyzing iconography of the Bruegel’s sketch “Spring: March, April, May” (engraving which entered the series by publisher Hieronymus Cock, devoted to the seasons) and its correlation with Bruegel’s picturesque series. We aim to reveal the whole visual and semantic structure of the cycle “Months of the year” and “reconstruct” the missing link as a part of the iconographic and philosophical system of Bruegel’s cycle.
Keywords: Bruegel, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, seasons, labours of the months, Franco-Flemish miniature painting, Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, Simon Bening, book of hours, 16 century

MUSE: SOUND ANALYSIS OF THE VERSE
UDC 801.614
Author: Gorodetskaya Veronica, Master of Art in Music, musicology, choral conducter, music teacher of Music School in Alexandria (Virginia, USA), e-mail: veronica_gor@yahoo.com
Summary: Musical thinking in contemporary poetry is present in unequal degrees, however, beginning with Khlebnikov, early Zabolotsky and Mandelstam, it presence increases, which makes the participation of musical commentary essential to contemporary poetical analysis. The philological aspect of the theory of sound in poetry is disclosed on the basis of fundamental theoretical works of Panov and Tynianov: Panov, in his "Phonetics", states that every sound of the poetic tissue is charged both energetically and semantically; Tynyanov in "The Problems of Poetic Language" understands verse as a dynamic vertical phenomenon. Olga Sedakova’s poetry equally combines the thinking of the poet and the composer, which makes the use of method of musicological analysis and established musicological terms necessary. The method of sound work was explored by poetic analysis of the fragment of the poem “The Mountain’s Ode” and the poem "Mignon"; both poems are the examples of the sound work of Olga Sedakova, who builds on the deepest levels of content, by the help of sound relations.The study substantiates formative role of sound in poetry: “In poetic language, the sound is connected to meaning, not through a lexical and grammatical system, but directly.” (Panov)
Keywords: Olga Sedakova, poetry, music of poetry, poetry analysis, musical commentary

Comparison of the development of the image in the poem by Drayton of the Elizabethan time and in the independent Russian poetry of the late Soviet time, with the involvement of the painting material, helps to clarify how the development of this mythological image allows to specify the relationship between the “chance” and “destiny”.

UDC 159.923.32
Author: Kolinichenko Irina, associate professor Department of the psychology of personality and professional activity of Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University (Pyatigorsk, Russia), e-mail: kolinichenkoI@yandex.ru
Summary: The article is devoted to the evaluation of the law students’ judgments about morality, identity and tolerance categories, based on the educational, religious and gender criteria. At the relevant significance level, it is shown that morality violations are assessed from the group norm standpoint, typical for the members of the collectivist cultures. According to the confessional principle, we revealed differences in desirability of personal and general categories, as well as gender differences with respect to morality among young people, who believe that “there are some things for which you can retreat from the norms of morality”. We haven’t found the expected differences in understanding of the judgment that “a set of criminal and civil laws is the foundation of morality”, as the fact that doesn’t cause any disagreements among future lawyers.
Keywords: psychology of morality, identity categories, tolerance for uncertainty, students
