The second life of folk culture in the new socio-artistic space

Skopa V. A., An S. A.

Folk culture is one of the basic ways of being of mankind. It goes back to the origins of the very existence of mankind and the beginnings of philosophical knowledge. In modern reality, a transformation of culture is taking place, since those elements of cultures are introduced into the cultural system that are incomprehensible under other conditions and can be distorted. Today, under the influence of pop culture, philosophical content is being replaced with its imitating forms. The mass artistic culture of our time, embellished with folk elements, has become to a large extent a spectacular technology of pleasure and entertainment. The proportion of the ratio of high and low cultures was broken. Mass culture is a typically grassroots culture, enhanced by the latest means of audiovisual reproduction.
