Theoretical aspects of development communicative interactions political pictures of the world

The political picture of the world, as a high-level concept that contains conceptual and figurative constants, comes to the fore when analyzing and interpreting external and internal events of political, socio-economic, technological, environmental nature. The problem is that world pictures are characterized by plurality and manifest themselves in the interpretation of the same political events and situations from different points of view. We can witness both clashes and solidarity between political world pictures. Nevertheless, the question of communicative practices of different political world pictures in the spatial and temporal coordinate system remains open. The purpose of the article is to analyze the models of interaction of political pictures of the world from the standpoint of the theory of action and the theory of communicative action. The research objectives are: review of the historical process of formation and genesis of the concepts “picture of the world” and “political picture of the world”, formation of system-structural elements of political pictures of the world, comparative analysis of models of interaction of political pictures of the world. Results. Political pictures of the world manifest themselves in four types of actions: teleological (strategic), normative-regulatory, dramaturgical, and communicative. The presented types of actions are manifested and expressed in the activities of political institutions. The considered models of interactions of political pictures of the world represent a compensatory mechanism of conflict prevention in the innumerable arena of world pictures.
