Abstract

The article examines the educational potential of the problem of the classical heritage actualization in contemporary culture from the viewpoint of art history and cultural studies. The authors have identified significant theoretical and methodological foundations and have proposed practicaloriented methodological solutions, that promote studentsʼ research into the existence of classics in contemporary culture, and the direct actualization of classical heritage in modern texts. Results of integrative analysis of key intents of modern culture to classics are presented: actualization, representation, oscillation, interpretation. The article presents methodological solutions that record the actualization of Russian classics universals by contemporary culture in its vertex manifestations on global and local material of world art (musical theme from the ballet by S. Prokofiev, advertising products, a feature film, a single by R. Williams) and the art of the Russian province (poem by Yu. Zhadovskaya, the architectural complex of the Peter and Paul Park in Yaroslavl) as well as situational actualization of the classical heritage in connection with the anniversary of the poet N. Nekrasov. The authors have proved that the purposeful emphasis of modern formats and images of Russian classics when teaching the social and humanitarian disciplines contributes to the effectiveness of forming competencies in the field of critical analysis of the modern culture phenomena.
