В частности, советское кино рассматривается не только как искусство или пропаганда, но как способ определить проективный смысл настоящего (посредством памяти о прошлом (войне, травме) и как культурная политика Утопии. Схожим образом телевидение рассматривается не столько как средство массовой коммуникации, сколько как форма реорганизации всего поля знания в соответствии с практиками потребления.

Phonetically consonant and etymologically derived from the same root tra- (or proto-Slavic ter), these words make up a coherent cluster of signifiers (trava-trata-travlia) which are centred around the director’s primal fantasy of the house. As the author argues, the signifying constellation “trava-trata-travlia” in Tarkovsky’s diary could be viewed as a psychobiographical code to the internal dynamics of his visual imagery

The collapse of the original democratic institutions and the 'ascent of money' in the 16-17 centuries gave birth to an arms race. The latter supports a stable demand for money on a political level. Capital and war make up a circle in which they engender each other. Transference of the new value of money from a political-economic level of macro-cycles of capital accumulation to the micro-level of individual desires is made by an apparatus of advertising. The combination of advertising, capital and war generates the phenomenon of information warfare. The largest enclaves of production of capital have been sources of global exports of the war from the outset. This causes the dismantling of political structures of direct democracy in the urban communities. Over time, the war returns from inside of western cities, militarizing the relationship between authorities and population. The very power becomes a depoliticized permanent special operation against the enemy who can hardly be determined as external or internal. Keywords: information warfare, capital, advertising, depoiticization, social order and military array.

The audiophilic approach to sound demonstrates how the melodic nature of musical sound (which corresponded to the historical era of living collective forms) gives way to the «visualization» of sound – its disintegration into autonomous «bright» fragments. Moreover, sound becomes an object of consumption – an investment activity, the logic of which is the extraction of surplus pleasure by means of money. However, there is also a counter tendency towards sound as an object of «common sense» in a community of judgment.
Keywords: commodity fetishization, collective forms and individual experience, the visual and the audial, late capitalism, audiophilia.

Такими элементами, прежде всего, являются «поток» и «пленка». Потоки Тарковского-это потоки его знаменитой кинематографической воды, но также и визуализируемые атмосферные «волны» и «флюидные» движения постоянно дрейфующей камеры. Эти потоки, сливаясь друг с другом, образуют «экран» для материализации протекания времени в конкретных сообществах зрителей. Пленка-это материальный носитель фильма (кинопленка), сам фильм (кинолента). Но также и та «водная» пленка кинообъектов, которая возникает как эффект потоков, и та невидимая «пелена», которая создается вокруг предметов флюидной камерой Тарковского. Специфические кинематографические техники советского кинорежиссера, элементы его киностиля порождают особую вещественность кинопредметности. Эта вещественность может быть «прочитана» как эстетический горизонт исторического воображаемого оттепельного поколения. С одной стороны, в качестве утопического импульса обретения эстетического коллективного единства (сообщества с одинаковым опытом протекания времени) в противовес сталинской тоталитарной утопии. С другой, как специфическое проявление общего симптома модерна-угасания Энергии, стирания вещей и опустошения человека, эстетической реакцией на которые и выступает кинематограф Тарковского.
