The Culturogenesis of the Historical Turns

Abstract

The object of the study is the culturogenesis of the historical turns, which the author defines as the `shifts in history', that is, the sharp, seemingly unexpected changes in the vectors of historical development. Historical turns are usually associated with the changes in political system or political development that induce radical transformations in the lifestyle, economic makeup, economic and international situation of the country, ideology and mentality of the society. These complex sociocultural transformations lead to the emergence of global internally contradictory hybrid culturogeneses that become the basis for international unions and alliances, as well as for local and global conflicts.
