In different but complementary ways, the chapters in this collection provide a deeper understanding of socio-cultural processes in various parts of the African continent. They do so in the context of contemporary mediated processes of globalization, and emphasize the agency of Africans.

The study of the evolution of the Eurasian socio-cultural space allows us to reflect
the positive and negative aspects and features of the transformation of socio-culture. The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of coherence on the evolution of the Eurasian socio-cultural space, to identify models of sociocultural variability in the context of globalization. The synthesis of a systemic and socio-cultural approach makes it possible to explore the trends of socio-cultural transformation more deeply. It is shown that in the process of evolution of the socio-cultural space of Eurasia, multidirectional lines of development are formed. The socio-cultural system is losing its stability, which leads to disintegration, the formation of new structures that initiate instability and conflict. The emerging models of socioculture reflect the multidirectional trends of integration and differentiation, fixing the problem of preserving local socio cultural originality and identity, maintaining traditional socio-cultural standards. Coherence acts as a system of communication and dialogue of sociocultures, actualizing the perception and recognition of values, interaction, and integration of subcultures.
Structures are being developed that are more resistant to innovations and more actively adapt to new conditions. In the process of interaction, a socio-cultural environment is crystallized with a pronounced dominance of the innovative layer in socioculture, rejection of traditions. On the other hand, the need to preserve traditional culture and sociality is determined in local communities. In conditions of modification of the socio-cultural environment, the principle of coherence contributes to the definition of culture and sociality as a local integrated experience, transformed from generation to generation. Coherence serves as a kind of basis for the concept of fixing, integrating historical, traditional, functional, information relations, communications, contributing to the adoption and institution of innovations in conjunction with traditional values.
The emerging models of the socio-cultural space reflect the processes of transformation of the life system and lifestyle of local communities, determining the transition from the paradigm of sustainable traditional development to the paradigm of innovative transformations, while preserving traditional values to the utmost.

Статья посвящена выявлению социокультурных оснований и следствий распространения демонстративного потребления в современном российском социуме. Авторы обосновывают необходимость и актуальность применения социокультурного подхода к социально-философскому исследованию демонстративных потребительских практик в России, показывают, что их распространение на российской почве произошло в результате резкого контрастного перехода от хронического недопотребления в условиях всеобщего дефицита к расширившимся потребительским возможностям. Отмечая значимое место и роль бытового потребительского аскетизма в пространстве традиционного для России социокультурного кода, автор показывает, что аскетическое отношение к потреблению материальных благ было частью, мировоззрения, основой которого был приоритет духовных ценностей. В статье анализируется процесс формирования доминанты потребления в современном российском обществе как основы распространения демонстративных потребительских практик, а также раскрывается имитативная сущность демонстративного потребления, представляющего собой подмену аутентичной самореализации личности в социуме через созидание и творческий труд имитацией самореализации через демонстрацию брендового потребления, праздности и роскоши.
The article is devoted to the identification of socio-cultural grounds and consequences of the spread of demonstrative consumption in modern Russian society. The authors substantiate the necessity and relevance of applying a socio-cultural approach to the socio-philosophical study of demonstrative consumer practices in Russia, show that their spread on Russian soil occurred as a result of a sharp contrasting transition from chronic underconsumption in conditions of universal scarcity to expanded consumer opportunities. Noting the significant place and role of everyday consumer asceticism in the space of the traditional socio-cultural code for Russia, the author shows that the ascetic attitude to the consumption of material goods was part of the worldview, the basis of which was the priority of spiritual values. The article analyzes the process of formation of the dominant consumption in modern Russian society as the basis for the spread of demonstrative consumer practices, and also reveals the imitative essence of demonstrative consumption, which is a substitution of authentic self-realization of the individual in society through creation and creative work by imitation of self-realization through the demonstration of branded consumption, idleness and luxury.

The rhetoric on development benefits of energy access often focuses on education, livelihoods and health. Using case studies of two energy access projects in India, this paper demonstrates that these claims, while true in part, are neither simple nor straightforward. It argues that pre-existing socio-cultural processes mediate the development outcomes of energy access projects. In particular, the roles of gender, socio-economic positions and the local economy are vital in understanding the links between education, livelihoods, health and energy. This paper is important for two reasons. First, working with culture as a mediator, it provides nuanced insights into relationships between energy access and three key development goals. Second, by presenting this analysis, the paper identifies a need for further research on the relationships between socio-cultural processes, development and energy access and, how by keeping these processes in mind, the benefits of energy access could be extended to less privileged social groups. This paper is based on a nine-month long ethnographic research in five villages in India's Bihar state. Home tours, interviews, participant observations and group discussions were used to collect the data.

In the article the socio-cultural processes in the Ukrainian diaspora of Romania in 20-80years of the twentieth century are considered. The situation of Ukrainians-emigrants in thiscountry has always been difficult and ambiguous. Conclusion of the First World War and defeatin the Ukrainian national-democratic revolution caused the emergence in Romania a largenumber of national conscious Ukrainians, who defended their own identity in emigration. In theinterwar period for the development of Ukrainian Romania quite favourable conditionsinfluenced: the Government's work in the UNR exile, close relations of Ukrainian socio-politicalorganizations of European countries, guardianship of immigrants from the League of Nationsstructures, etc. In Romania, at this period Ukrainian schools worked, there were severalUkrainian public and cultural organizations. The Second World War and the establishment ofthe communist regime in the second half of 40 years negatively influenced the Ukrainianpopulation of Romania. The policy of the official Bucharest, aimed at "dissolution" of nationalminorities among Romanians, total romaniation in the field of education and culture, completeignoring the interests of Ukrainians abroad from the Ukrainian SSR led to a sharp decrease inthe Identity of Ukrainians and liquidation of Ukrainian cultural and educational institutions andsocieties. A certain revival of Ukrainian national positions in Romania began only with a fall inthe regime of N. Chaushesku in 1989. ; У статті розглянуто соціокультурні процеси в українській діаспорі Румунії у 20-80-х рр. ХХ ст. Становище українців-емігрантів у цій державі завжди було складним танеоднозначним. Завершення Першої світової війни та поразка в Українській національнодемократичній революції зумовили появу в Румунії значної кількості національно свідомихукраїнців, які в еміграції відстоювали власну ідентичність. У міжвоєнний період нарозвиток українців Румунії впливали доволі таки сприятливі умови: діяльність уряду УНРв екзилі, тісні зв"язки українських громадсько-політичних організацій європейських країн,опікування переселенцями з боку структур Ліги Націй тощо. В Румунії в цей часпрацювали українські школи, існувало декілька українських громадських та культурнихорганізацій. Друга світова війна та встановлення комуністичного режиму в другійполовині 40-х років негативно вплинули на українське населення Румунії. Політикаофіційного Бухареста, спрямована на «розчинення» національних меншин серед румун,тотальну румунізацію у сфері освіти та культури, повне ігнорування інтересів українцівза кордоном з боку Української РСР призвели до різкого зменшення рівня національноїідентичності українців та ліквідації українських культурно-освітніх закладів ітовариств. Певне відродження українських національних позицій в Румунії розпочалосялише з падінням режиму Н. Чаушеску у 1989 р.
