LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN CULTURE: PROBLEMS OF STUDY

Abstract

The article examines problems of philological education. The purpose of the work is to identify the causes of the humanitarian crisis and determine possible ways to overcome it. The main reasons are the crisis of educational strategies, the change of the “reading person” and the deformation of literature. Literature acts as a universal artistic bond due to the high degree of media, virtuality and translatability into other morphological languages. The following are considered as ways to overcome the humanitarian crisis: 1) a possible change in the strategy of humanitarian education; 2) the introduction of elective disciplines into the curriculum, allowing for a more profound mastery of the culture of the 20th century and modern culture; 3) the active use of intermedial and paratextual research methods, allowing for the combination of the theoretical foundations of philological knowledge with its practical significance in the modern socio-cultural space.
