Microminiature as a phenomenon of modern culture

Abstract

Microminiature in Ukrainian culture is a new kind of human creative activity, which became possible with scientific and technological progress and the development of high technologies, in particular with the advent of electronics and super-powerful microscopes. Today it reflects the level of development of both the person, its creator, and several spheres of person’s cultural activity (science, philosophy, technology, art, engineering), at the junction of which microminiature arose. It suggests that it’s a phenomenon of modern culture. However, microminiature as an extraordinary cultural phenomenon remains almost unexplored. This actualizes the need for its understanding as a phenomenon of modern Ukrainian culture, first, using post-non-classical methodology. The special need to address to the Ukrainian microminiature, its formation and development is due to the fact that it’s an important factor both for the reflection of modern people and their culture, and for the self-identification of the nation, as well as the understanding of the national technoart dynamics in general.
