Transgression of Cultural Boundaries: Psychological Aspects of Consciousness Production Technologies

The study is aimed at clarifying the methods of social technologies that form consciousness, used in the formation of the social meaning of transgression, is carried out in the mainstream of expanding rationality and on the basis of the activity approach (A.N. Leont'ev). The philosophical thematization of cultural transgression is carried out in the philosophical questioning of the authenticity of human existence. Transgression represents the central concept and idea of the philosophy of postmodernism.
The problem of constructing the meaning of transgression in social technologies, including psychological ones, has not been sufficiently studied. Results: cultural transgression is represented to consciousness in systems of meanings and does not represent an objectively understood phenomenon. The meaning changes depending on the categorical attitudes, in its formation it moves from declarative to non-declarative systems. Psychosemantics provides operational insights into how the categorization of transgression and cultural frontiers change. In the mainstream of the activity-based interpretation of consciousness, it is possible to form consciousness and track changes in individual systems of meanings using operational means of reconstructing subjective semantic spaces. Conclusions. Social technologies vary the meaning of cultural transgression depending on social objectives. The transgression of cultural boundaries is a cultural event that can be prepared, tracked, used, rethought, controlled in social technologies, in which categorical structures of consciousness are formed.
