Between America and China: The Concept of the "Other" in the Formation and Transformation of Russia's Civilizational Identity
The article attempts to understand the internal and external factors of civilizational identity, in this case, in its Russian version. The article focuses on external factors, which should be understood as the concept of "Other", i.e. another civilization. In this case, the Other means both American civilization and China as a civilization. The author insists that at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-FIRST centuries, three independent civilizations - Russia, America and China-demonstrate intensive forms of interaction, which affects the transformation of the civilizational identity of Russia. This is evident in the desire to resist American hegemony, and in the turn from the West towards China, which makes the idea of Eurasians that emerged in the first decades of the last century relevant. The article takes into account the discrepancy in the time phases of the functioning of these civilizations. If America finally acquires civilizational forms and continues to experience passionate tension in the twentieth century, then, for example, China is one of the oldest civilizations. Russia, which in its history has repeatedly radically revised its civilizational identity, deserves a special discussion. Today, in its history, it is experiencing another radical turn, more oriented to the East. The author's idea is usually illustrated by the experience of cinematography.
本文试图理解这种情况下俄语版本的文明身份的内在和外在因素。本文着重于外部因素,应将其理解为“其他”的概念,即另一种文明。在这种情况下,“他者”既意味着美国文明,也意味着中国作为文明。作者坚持认为,在二十世纪和二十世纪初,俄罗斯,美国和中国这三个独立的文明展示了密集的互动形式,这影响了俄罗斯文明身份的转变。在抵制美国霸权的愿望中以及从西方转向中国的过程中,这是显而易见的,这使得上世纪前几十年出现的欧亚人的想法变得有意义。本文考虑了这些文明运作的时间阶段之间的差异。如果美国最终获得了文明形式并继续在20世纪经历着紧张的紧张局势,那么例如,中国就是最古老的文明之一。在其历史上曾多次从根本上修改其文明身份的俄罗斯,值得特别讨论。今天,在其历史上,它正经历着又一次朝东方方向的重大转变。作者的想法通常由摄影经验来说明。
