Elite culture

Elite culture is high culture, contrasted with mass culture by the type of influence on the perceiving consciousness, preserving its subjective characteristics and providing a meaning-forming function. The subject of elitist, high culture is the individual - a free, creative person, capable of carrying out conscious activities. The creations of this culture are always personally colored and designed for personal perception, regardless of the breadth of their audience. In this sense, the subject of elite culture is a representative of the elite.

Consumers of elite culture are people with a high educational level and developed aesthetic taste. Many of them are creators of works of art themselves or professional researchers of them. First of all, we are talking about writers, artists, musicians, art historians, literary and art critics. This circle also includes connoisseurs and connoisseurs of art, regular visitors to museums, theaters and concert halls.

Elite culture is not understandable to the crowd, so it stands apart, meeting the needs of a separate group of the population. The famous “Diaghilev Russian Seasons” in Paris, the teachings of F. Nietzsche, the world of rockers, the club of great athletes, scientific and creative associations - all these are products of elite culture. They are created by real professionals, each of them is a difficult product for mass perception.

Elite culture arose as the antithesis of mass culture and manifests its meaning in comparison with the latter. The essence of elite culture was first analyzed by X. Ortega y Gasset and K. Mannheim, who considered this culture as the only one capable of preserving and reproducing the basic meanings of culture and having a number of fundamentally important features, including the method of verbal communication - the language produced by it speakers, where special social groups - clergy, politicians, artists - use special languages ​​closed to the uninitiated, including Latin and Sanskrit.

To highlight the clear difference between elite culture and mass culture, we can mention the music of the great L. Beethoven. Its performance in the Philharmonic Hall is of interest only to true connoisseurs of the classics, but the average audience of music lovers will prefer to hear a mass-market product reproduced in a simplified form, sounding, for example, on a CD or on a mobile phone.

Most works of elite culture are initially avant-garde or experimental in nature. They use artistic means that will become understandable to the mass consciousness several decades later. Sometimes experts even name the exact period – 50 years. In other words, examples of elite culture are half a century ahead of their time.

The subject of elitist, high culture is the individual - a free, creative person, capable of carrying out conscious activities. The creations of this culture are always personally colored and designed for personal perception, regardless of the breadth of their audience, which is why the wide distribution and millions of copies of the works of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Shakespeare not only do not reduce their significance, but, on the contrary, contribute to the widespread dissemination of spiritual values. In this sense, the subject of elite culture is a representative of the elite.
Elite culture is the culture of privileged groups of society, characterized by fundamental closedness, spiritual aristocracy and value-semantic self-sufficiency

Peculiarities:

complexity, specialization, creativity, innovation;
the ability to form a consciousness ready for active transformative activity and creativity in accordance with the objective laws of reality;
the ability to concentrate the spiritual, intellectual and artistic experience of generations;
the presence of a limited range of values ​​recognized as true and “high”;
a rigid system of norms accepted by a given stratum as mandatory and strict in the community of “initiates”;
individualization of norms, values, evaluative criteria of activity, often principles and forms of behavior of members of the elite community, thereby becoming unique;
the creation of a new, deliberately complicated cultural semantics, requiring special training and an immense cultural horizon from the addressee;
the use of a deliberately subjective, individually creative, “defamiliarizing” interpretation of the ordinary and familiar, which brings the subject’s cultural assimilation of reality closer to a mental (sometimes artistic) experiment on it and, in the extreme, replaces the reflection of reality in elite culture with its transformation, imitation with deformation, penetration into meaning - conjecture and rethinking of the given;
semantic and functional “closedness”, “narrowness”, isolation from the whole of national culture, which turns elite culture into a kind of secret, sacred, esoteric knowledge, taboo for the rest of the masses, and its bearers turn into a kind of “priests” of this knowledge, chosen ones of the gods , “servants of the muses”, “keepers of secrets and faith”, which is often played out and poeticized in elite culture.

Plot: Russian writer Andrei Gorchakov comes to Italy in search of biographical traces of the serf musician Pavel Sosnovsky, who once visited these places.

Soon Gorchakov begins to realize that the musician’s story is partly his own story: in Italy he feels like a stranger, but he can no longer return home. The hero is seized by a painful numbness, longing for his homeland turns into illness...
