Abstract

Bairachna L.K. LEGITIMATION SYMBOLICAL ASPECTS OF STATE POWER Background research caused a systemic crisis of the Ukrainian society. The content and dynamics of transformation of social life requires a rethinking of many theoretical postulates and puts the task of developing new structural approaches to understanding the ongoing transformations. In such circumstances, individuals are forced to adapt to change, respond and to reflect, look for a place in a changing world. They objectively lose identity as members of particular social groups whose position in terms of radical change is uncertain, often marginalized and vulnerable to extinction as a relatively stable community. In this regard, a special role is played by the factor of political manipulation of the consciousness of citizens. There is a formation mechanisms set of the active mass moods, sometimes quite volatile. And therefore especially important to limit the problem of such influence, studying the degree of stability or volatility of political priorities of individual citizens, social, corporate groups, considering their historical and cultural traditions. Therefore need for a comprehensive study of symbolical aspects of political legitimacy is obvious, the importance of which increases in terms of complicating dynamic conditions of socio-political processes in Ukraine. Contemporary political space mainly represented by "media personalities" as carriers of specific virtual political culture forming in the modern cultural space of the information society. In these circumstances, the possibility of mass media related to the actualization of events and problematic situations, more than ever, in demand by power in order to create the corresponding legitimizing consciousness structures. Symbolic power does not occur as a pure symbol, but as a continuous, dynamic relation between those who are exercising power and those who are experiencing it. Currently, the support of the relationship between power and subordination are only capable of mass communication, as manufacturers of mass symbolic production. Moreover, this interaction is implementing not only in the field of politics, but also in the field of culture, touching psychological aspects of suggestion. The symbolic aspect of the authorities involves the network creation of myths, symbols, meanings and values by mass communication. Therefore, it can be said that the social mechanism of the mass media is one of the most important tools for the implementation symbolic capital of power. Modern power tools require a new conceptual designs, concepts, allowing understanding the need to use those or other methods of constructing a political reality and political processes. All of this attracts the attention and interest in the legitimating process by creating some symbolic structures. The exclusive place of concentration and symbolic power implement is state that has a powerful means of imposing the sustainable principles of seeing the world in the form of information and cultural capital. Through educational structures and social rituals the state forms the mental structures and imposes common principles of vision and division, it forms what is called national identity. Thus, political power is conceived in the context of force fields and structural configurations of the political field, including gaming and capital arguments. The power owning, certainly not the same as owning its symbols, but the latter can greatly affect its conquest. In this case it is important to accept these symbols by public. Otherwise they will only serve as a decorative ornament. In our opinion, "symbolic capital" consists of a large number of meanings that carry information, which insets by its owner, and perceivers. This meanings is cultural meanings (brought up in ethnic group, include a set of values and norms that are owned by interacting faces, and a set of carriers that are objectified, socialize and reveal these values) and civilization meanings (formed as a result of the social life organization and culture; described by the universal connection of individuals or social basis in order to product the social wealth, that provides its existence and progressive development) Capital becomes more and more widespread and functioning. "Symbolical" it is defined as a set of social, political, psychological, aesthetic, religious and axiological meanings potentially containing the possibility of obtaining the relevant benefits. Trends and prospects for such changes – are the most complicated and interesting mystery of the future.
