Нелінійний дискурс (пост)сучасної культури

personal existence, postmodern cultural analytics emphasizes the study of factors such as uncertainty, instability, spontaneity, and their role in sociocultural processes. Traditional linear systems of knowledge, based on template thinking, repetition, and standardization, do not correspond to the changing and unpredictable cultural reality. Creative thinking, somatic practices, concrete experience, intuitive responses, and transdisciplinary methodology become a significant part of cultural-philosophical reflection, expert tools, and the postmodern cultural space.Purpose of the article. To analyze the transformation of contemporary socio-cultural thinking under conditions of global uncertainty and to outline new forms of cultural reflection.Results. The article analyzes the main trends of the nonlinear discourse of culture as a key feature of postmodernity and a factor of adaptability to new social realities. The research is based on an interdisciplinary analysis that includes hermeneutic, post-structuralist, and phenomenological approaches, elements of cultural anthropology and political philosophy, as well as analytical tools from the theory of complex systems. Particular attention is given to the concepts of the “Black Swan” (N. Taleb), social iatrogenesis (I. Illich), fragmentation, and antifragility as new parameters of worldview. The cultural value of instability, fragmentation, and paradox is substantiated as the foundation of contemporary thinking and action. The aesthetics of randomness, spontaneity, and nonlinearity shape new types of leadership and initiate the rethinking of norms, protocols, and patterns in the realms of culture, politics, and social expectations.Conclusions. The article argues that the discourse of uncertainty today is not only a symptom of cultural crisis but also a resource for adaptation. Contemporary culture requires flexible thinking, sensitivity to complexity, recognition of multivariance, and a departure from linear causal logic. A new type of personality is emerging–creative, unstable, risk-prone, and capable of functioning in conditions of systemic turbulence.
