Background. The internal logic of the development of social psychology as a science, as well as the rapid changes in society affecting its subject field, require discussion on the current scientific problems and prospects for further social psychological research, many of which are related to the development of scientific directions initiated by A.L. Zhuravlev and his colleagues. The aim of the study was to describe the contribution of A.L. Zhuravlev to the development of a number of branches of Russian social psychology and, on the basis of the concepts developed by him, to identify some of the most promising areas for further research. Results. The study singled out the following branches and directions of social psychology, the formation of which in Russia is closely connected with the works of A.L. Zhuravlev: psychology of management, joint activity and collective subject; psychology of morality; economical psychology; social psychology of the city; studies of the psychological state of the Russian society; studies of attitudes to new technologies and the influence of technologies on socio-psychological phenomena; psychology of nuclear deterrence and strategic security, psychology of global risks. In each of these areas, the prospects for further research are outlined, taking into account the social, economic and technological changes in Russia. Conclusion. Presented analysis allows to consider collective subjectivity as an integral phenomenon that connects promising areas of research in social psychology, and the works of A.L. Zhuravlev can serve as a basis for their further development.

The community actions developed by the inhabitants of marginalised communities by Idler and McGill have contributed to the construction of a social base for peace, favouring cohesion and the reproduction of social life in the resistance to years of armed conflict, state abandonment and other social phenomena. The Catatumbo region in Colombia has been the focus of several analyses regarding the visibility of public and private organisations that have come to the territory to provide perishable assistance, which do not constitute a holistic social project involving all aspects of the conflict and its impact on the community. This prevents the recognition of the figure of collective social subject that contributes to the construction of a social basis for peace. In this sense, this article is intended to address the contribution of the communities as collective subject to the construction of the social fabric, recognising the different initiatives that have been developed by the subjects who inhabit the region from their historical‐political role.

The psychological phenomena that are typical for large social groups at the present stage of the information and communication technologies development used for various purposes, including, global geopolitical interests considered. Problems of loss and restoration of social identity as well as the process of updating of large social group Subject status because of information and psychological influence discussed.

The item shows socio-communicative basics of the modern scientific activity. There is proof offered to the idea that sociological views on scientific communications allow rethinking the traditional epistemological ideas regarding scientific subjectivity through employing the terms COLLECTIVE SUBJECT and THINKING COLLECTIVE.

The amparo trial in Mexico was built from a liberal current, whose main purpose originally (and continues to this day) is to protect fundamental rights on an individual basis. In 2016, the concept of collective protection was introduced in the Regulatory Law of Articles 103 and 107 of the Federal Constitution. However, the procedure for such amparo was not created, nor was the subject that it would protect defined, which is why, it is necessary to establish under a descriptive vision with a qualitative methodology and, in the light of legal dogmatics, the elements that define the collective subject from the communitarian theory.

The difference between the concepts of ability and giftedness in the context of a competency approach to education, when competence and expert knowledge are distinguished is clarified in the article. It is understood that the level of subject competencies characterizes an individual subject with regard to his or her abilities, which distinguishes one student from another through the content understanding and fast retention of learning material. The aim of the study is to show how the educational process is regulated by rational and emotional consciousness and how emotional consciousness, being associative, allows the student to use his or her life experience as a means of indirect influence on his or her behavior using the metaphors of A. N. Veraksa in the educational process. The author outlines that the competence of a student is his or her talent or giftedness, which is manifested in interaction with other students, that is, in a team: the student is an individual and collective subject of the educational process, and his or her activity regulates rational and emotional consciousness, so the task is to determine the forms of their integration in the educational process. It is noted that if the student's abilities are manifested in interaction with others, the successful/unsuccessful one is not an individual here, but a collective (group) subject. It is mentioned that in terms of B.M. Teplov, it is referred to “giftedness” in the form of a combination of individual abilities of participants in the educational process (situation), through which a chance for success in educational activities increases or reduces. It is concluded that in preschool and primary school age, an effective form of indirect influence is a fairy tale, and hereinafter – project activity, mediated in the student's mind by the metaphor of creativity, which puts the development of emotional consciousness under the control of the teacher.

The article discusses the problems of the typology of network communities, representing the new social reality of modern digital society. The methodology of a comprehensive study of social communities based on socio-psychological and psycholinguistic methods, the use of the discursive approach and the subject category, little studied in relation to large social groups, determine the novelty of the research. According to the main research hypothesis, various forms of group subjectivity, which determine its readiness for joint activities, are manifested in the discourse of the network community, which constitutes it by mediating the interaction of its members, transmitting ideas about the world, values, relations, attitudes and setting patterns of behavior. We defined discursive features of internet communities relevant to the various forms of group subjectivity and subjectivity criteria - interconnectedness, focus on joint activities, etc. A procedure for identifying discursive characteristics of the subjectivity of a network community of various levels (lexical, procedural, semantic) was presented and their examples were given. On this basis, a comparative analysis of network communities, providing for the future creation of their psychological typology was carried out.

In article the problem of reconsideration of the known formula “public consciousness reflects social being” is solved for what revision of all three categories which are this statement is offered. Is shown inaccuracy of aspiration to exclude consciousness from the sphere of being. In particular, the point of view according to which ignorance by people of regularities of the activity which is carried out by them, gives the grounds for an exception of their consciousness of the sphere of life critically is considered.In article the thought that it is necessary to distinguish concepts of social being and social reality is carried out. The social reality is always referred to a certain collective subject and, on the one hand, it is necessary its practical and spiritual activity, and with another is a reflection subject. Being considered as a reflection subject, the social reality acts as life. The last in this case is not reduced to the economic relations — it includes all circle of the relations (political, ideological and so forth), subject reality, culture, traditions with which it should interact and which it defines for itself(himself) as some reality. Life of the subject can be defined by degree of development of ability to a reflection inherent in his consciousness. Not reflective life, reflective not conceptual life and conceptual and reflective life are allocated.The offered paradigm allows to define sense of the social and reformative activity directed to formation of unity of society as mutual interpretation of various realities which carriers are various social subjects. This mutual interpretation is carried out in the difficult and continuously made process of spiritual life, in the works of art, theological texts, philosophical treatises correlating various types of social reality and developing a reflection over them.

In recent years, a growing body of literature has started to take up the issue of collectivity within the capability approach, by particularly examining the notion of collective capabilities, the reasons for using this concept, its critiques and limitations. However, a proper categorization of collective capabilities aiming at defining which types of capabilities actually are, is rarely studied. The goal of this contribution is to fill such gap by categorizing collective capabilities as well as providing a specific list of collective combined capabilities. The list includes two collective capabilities: the 'resistant capability' and the 'resilient capability'. After having briefly outlined the most recent contributions of the capability theorists for including the issue of the collectivity within the Capability Approach (CA), I then proceed as follows. First, I examine what collective capabilities are and why they matter for the CA. Second, I provide a categorization of collective capabilities based on the ontological difference between collective and individual capabilities. Third, the resulting extension of Nussbaum's version of the CA is carried out by including a specific list for collective combined capabilities. Finally, I investigate how this extension affects Nussbaum's CA.

Objective: Analyze the People as Teacher as a collective subject, and how it contributes to the territorial construction of agroecologies in the experience of La Alianza Lara State, Venezuela. Methodology: The analysis is assumed from the historical-cultural context and under the method of systematization of experiences. Results: We find that this peasant experience enriches agroecological perspectives by its organizational capacity, where a collective subject arises out of awareness and training, capable of "infiltrating" conventional curricula and thus able to promote an educational network, influencing the national agroecological movement. Limitations: It is not an easily reproducible model due to its situated character. Conclusions: We find that the collective subject favors the processes of territorialization of agroecology, because it allows not only the consolidation of material territories in the productive processes, but also the symbolic ones, with the revaluation of peasant senses, which are affirmed in educational dynamics rooted in collective interests.

The aim of this work is to analyze the constitution of a new collective subject thanks to wearable computers. Wearable computers are emerging technologies which are supposed to become pervasively used in the near future. They are devices designed to be on us every single moment of our life and to capture every experience we have. Therefore, we need to be prepared to such intrusive devices and to analyze potential effect they will have on us and our society. Thanks to a phenomenological and postphenomenological analysis, we will show how these technologies are able to generate a new collective subject with its different collective needs and appetites by merging the living body of many subjects into one. The world becomes dwelled by these new collective subjects, and we will feed their own peculiar needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article argues that Bogdanov's ideas are relevant for analysis of contemporary theory and practice of social designing. We show that activism and empiriomonism together lead to an instrumental understanding of science that forms the basis for a techno-scientific strategy for developing social disciplines. At the same time, the concept of sociohistorical development and "gathering together" of the human being clarifies the contradictions of the participatory model of social designing, indicating in particular the unresolved nature of epistemic inequality and the illusory nature of the collective subject as the one to whom social designing activities can be attributed.

Introduction: The concept of uncertainty is quite popular both in science and in philosophy. However, this notion is often used spontaneously, in a broader sense. The purpose of this article is to clarify the meaning of the concept of "uncertainty" in the context of the comparison of the subject and the object of modern scientific knowledge.However, the clarification of the meaning of the concept of uncertainty is hampered by a number of circumstances today. This is mainly due to the fact that the concept of uncertainty can characterize the process of increment of knowledge both at the stage of posing a problem and at the stage of its solution.Materials and methods: In the article, we keep to the research scheme stated in previous publications, where uncertainty is examined with respect to the object and subject of cognition. In this case, we pay attention to the conditions of their interaction.Results: Modern philosophy of science, recognizing the evolutionary dependence of a man and an environment, forms an idea of the subject and the object of cognition (the world) as complex systems, the result of the interaction of which can be characterized as uncertain. Modern psychology supplements the notion of uncertainty as an orientation of the subject to the knowledge of the image of the world, the recognition of its variability and instability. Nonclassical philosophy introduces the notion of a collective subject and related concepts such as a scientific community, convention, consensus, the analysis of which allows us to demonstrate that situations of uncertainty characterize the process of increment of knowledge at the stage of raising a scientific problem.Discussion and Conclusions: The article summarizes modern concepts of scientific uncertainty in the context of the subject and the object of cognition, determines promising perspectives of the study.To describe the stage of solving the problem in science, it is more appropriate to use the notion of probability, which is not identical to uncertainty and reduces to choosing a solution from possible alternatives. It should be stressed that uncertainty as a characteristic of the stage of posing a scientific problem seems to be the most promising direction for further research.

The paper deals with the findings of the long-term research into the professional development process of the school academic body. The methodology of the research combines the systematic, functional, acmeological and subject approaches. The research outcome concerns the concept of professional development and growth of academic staff in the modern conditions of educational system reorganization. The core concepts include the description of stages reflecting the academic staff professional growth and their cooperation ways. Each stage is characterized by the degree of academic staff readiness for solving new educational problems.The research findings can provide the management of educational establishments with the necessary assistance in identifying the levels of academic staff readiness for fulfilling the competence model of education.

With a need for conceptual clarification as a starting point, this text proposes a genealogy of the notion of political subjectivation, taking into account the manner in which it has been conceived and developed in French philosophy, beginning with Foucault. This article first traces the concepts at stake in the controversy between Jacques Rancière and Louis Althusser; it then pits the Rancerian concept against Foucault's, to point out the similarities and differences with Arendt's idea of singularization. To conclude, the author suggests placing Arendt's understanding of political singularization in close dialogue with the analysis proposed by Deleuze on forms of subjectivation.

L'article part d'un contraste entre deux articles de circonstance signés par Greimas en 1956 pour l'un (« Pour une sociologie du langage »), en 1980 pour l'autre (« Roland Barthes : une biographie à construire »), en montrant la modulation qu'y subissent les topiques d'un substrat marxiste du projet scientifique de la sémiotique : la conciliation entre science et idéologie et de la fonction sociale de l'intellectuel. Ces topiques sont ensuite déclinées au fil de la lecture d'autres travaux du tournant des années 1960-1970, relativement périphériques par rapport au canon de la théorie greimassienne. En témoignant d'un dialogue de la sémiotique avec ses marges disciplinaires (l'histoire, l'ethnologie, la sociolinguistique), ces travaux manifestent un ancrage fort de la réflexion de Greimas dans le terreau d'une critique idéologique historiquement située. The starting point of the article is a contrast between two topical articles written by Greimas one in 1956 ('Pour une sociologie du langage') and the other in 1980 ('Roland Barthes: une biographie à construire'), demonstrating the variations that the specifically Marxist topics within the scientific study of semiotics are subject to: the reconciliation between science and ideology and the social function of the intellectual. These topics are then dealt with in other works from the 1960s and 1970s, which are associated in some way with the canon of Greimas's theory. Bearing witness to a dialogue of semiotics with its related fields (history, ethnology, sociolinguistics), these works reveal that Greimas's thoughts are strongly rooted in the breeding ground of a historically situated ideological criticism.
