'Cultural Studies Seeks to Understand What Lies Beneath the Surface of Everyday Things'
Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Road Injuries Leading Cause of Death Among Men Aged 10 to 39
Worldwide, road injuries are the leading cause of death among males aged 10–39. An international team of researchers reached this conclusion as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, analysing data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. Their findings have been published in The Lancet Public Health, with HSE University Professor Vasily Vlassov listed among the collaborators.

Физиогномика, наука не для всех

Средние века. 2012. № 73 (1-2). С. 264–277.
Voskoboynikov O.

The paper deals with the beginning of medieval reception of physiognomics, a specifi c complex of doctrines and knowledge about human body, that, on an individual scale, enabled the adept to judge about what we would call the «character» of an individual. The author analyzes some texts of the 13th century: the «Secret of Secrets» and especially the still unedited «Liber physonomie» by Michael Scot (ca. 1230). Physiognomics was received not at universities, but at the courts of some cultivated seigneurs, ecclesiastical and laic.

The connection of the poetic form with the content is investigated. The free verse, developed by W. Whitman in the second half of the 19th century, took root in the USSR with difficulty. In modern Russian poetry, the free verse, while preserving the aura of Western poetic culture, often combines gender and political meanings, broadcasting ...

Гауди по психологии
Petrovskiy V., Психология. Журнал Высшей школы экономики 2016 Т. 13 № 3 С. 612 – 622
Два открывателя новизны, два мыслителя, один в науке, другой в искусстве — Владимир Лефевр и Антонио Гауди — обнаруживают глубинное персональное сходство: нестандартность решений, многообразие компетенций, проницательность интуиции, эстетику мысли, смелость фантазии — все это «их общее». Архитектор новаторской рефлексивной теории, В.А. Лефевр перебросил мост между двумя реалиями – по ту и по сю сторону Я человека. Теоретики-предшественники имели ...

Algebraic Model of Reflexive Problematic Statements
V. A. Petrovsky, Scientific and Technical Information Processing 2022 Vol. 49 No. 6 P. 472 – 480
This paper focuses on reflexive problematic statements represented by modal judgments of validity (subjective truth) and their combinations. It is proposed to describe these statements at three levels: reflexive problematic statements per se, modal judgments that characterize the validity of sentences constituting complex statements, and matrix representations of modal judgments. Modal judgments, as part of ...

Адаптация россиян к трансформирующейся реальности: индикаторы, состояние и факторы
Tikhonova N. E., Дудин И. В., Вестник Российского университета дружбы народов. Серия: Социология 2026 Т. 26 № 3 С. 830–846
На данных общероссийского опроса, проведенного Институтом социологии ФНИСЦ РАН в октябре 2025 года (N = 2000), показано, что реальная адаптированность к внешним условиям и объективные показатели адаптированности к ним - разные феномены. Объективные индикаторы адаптированности обладают меньшим эвристическим потенциалом, чем те, которые учитывают восприятие человеком соотношения своих потребностей и возможностей их удовлетворения. Адаптационный потенциал россиян ...

Semantic number agreement in Balkar
Podobryaev A., Ivlieva N., Glossa: a journal of general linguistics 2026 Vol. 11 No. 1 P. 1–25
Unlike many other Turkic languages, Balkar normally demonstrates obligatory subject-verb number agreement in finite clauses with 3rd person subjects: when a subject is plural-marked, so is the verb. However, there are cases when the subject is not overtly plural-marked, but the verb can be. We argue for an account where such facts are not reduced to any form ...

Household environmental management practices, community engagement, and self-reported malaria incidence in urban and rural communities of Malawi
Lungu M. M., Davitadze A., Frontiers in Public Health 2026 Vol. 14 Article 1919768
Malaria control in Malawi relies primarily on long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), but transmission remains heterogeneous across districts. Previous research indicates that community-based environmental management strategies, such as routine drainage maintenance, vegetation removal, and effective household waste disposal, may reduce environmental conditions conducive to malaria vector proliferation. This study investigated the ...

О статусе «Я» в культурно-деятельностном дискурсе
Petrovskiy V., Культурно-историческая психология 2023 Т. 19 № 1 С. 35 – 40
The concept of the I that is present in the scholarly and mundane consciousness is inwardly paradoxical, as it contains the risk of regression to “bad infinity”. Thus, “I see an object” obviously creates in me the image of the object; by implication, “someone” inside me sees the image of the perceived object and, consequently, ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge
Poddiakov A., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026. No. 7437658.
Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

The spheres of the miraculous and monstrous are older than science, and perhaps even older than conceptual language. They belong to the reality of metaphors, or even deep emotions, therefore, in relation to science, their use, at first glance, seems evaluative and superfluous, because they do not refer to specific objects, labels and categories, but ...
