Historical consciousness and strategies of detraumatization of historical culture in the modern world

The article presents the socio-philosophical analysis of detraumatization and its main strategies in modern historical culture. Detraumatization was interpreted as the cultural practice of reformatting the semantic structure of relations between the past and the present and is regarded as a dynamic process. Detraumatization was analysed in a context in the concepts of “rationalization”, “demythologization”, “cultural adaptation”. It was proved that the socio-philosophical approach to detraumatization involves the interpretation of cultural injuries as a certain side of the crisis of historical culture and historical consciousness. The role of rationality in the process of interaction of historical culture and historical consciousness was revealed. The rationalization of historical culture is the strengthening of its mediation potential, turning it into an active medium of interaction between different configurations of images and practices of the past. The main strategies of cultural detraumatization presented in domestic and foreign literature were analysed. It was shown that the socio-philosophical approach to detraumatization allows us to consider it as bridging the gaps between different spheres of historical culture and moving from the deconstruction of individual elements of the traumatic experience to the “neutralization” of the sociocultural contexts of the influence of cultural injuries (the culture of trauma reproduction).
