CHESS, SUMMARY, AND SOCIAL MEDIA AS A REPRESENTATION OF THE TEMPORAL REVOLUTION
The purpose of the article is to study modern problems of temporality in the cultural space. The methodological basis of the study includes methods of extrapolation and comparative analysis. For the first time, the paper draws a parallel with the temporal revolution in chess, which reflects the processes taking place in the socio-cultural sphere, reveals the topic of reducing time control in chess and the influence of this factor on the content of chess games. The author considers the modern trends of temporality in the culture sphere and the decline in the intellectual content of cultural products. The article concludes that the most significant problems of this kind becomeactual in summaries and social media. Summaries of world literature masterpieces are their simplified simulacra, lacking most of the author's ideas and concepts. The author notes that the negative component of the summary phenomenon also consists in the fact that the reader, having received an idea of the book plot, is unlikely to later turn to the original. The article examines social media in the chronological order of their appearance, tracing the line LiveJournal - Facebook - Twitter - Instagram - TikTok, which reflects the dynamics of temporal processes. As a result, the more modern the social network, the more concise the information and, as a consequence, the less quality intellectual content it is characterized by. Thus literary and scientific discussions on LiveJournal were replaced by 15-second clips on TikTok. In conclusion, the author considers the experience of solving temporal problems in chess space and the possibilities of a similar approach in the field of culture.
