Цель данного исследования состоит в уточнении роли научнофантастических сериалов в массовой культуре западного общества. Достижению данной цели способствует решение следующих задач: 1) выявление основных тенденций, с помощью которых политическая теология массовой культуры воспроизводит религиозные мотивы; 2) изучение основных проблем, связанных с актуализацией и визуализацией религиозных проблем как политических в научно-фантастическом дискурсе; 3) уточнение возможных векторов и дальнейших траекторий развития политически и идеологически инструментализированных религиозных образов в современном научно-фантастическом дискурсе. Материалами исследования ограничены научно-фантастическими сериалами, генетически связанных со вселенной «Звёздного пути»: классические (такие, как «Звёздный путь» и «Вавилон 5») и современные («Орвилл»). Показано, что эти сериалы играют значительную роль в современной истории общества потребления. Одновременно они являются формами развития политической культуры и исторической коллективной памяти, а также формой визуализированной политической теологии. Обращение к анализу заявленной проблематики потребовало привлечения таких теоретических подходов, как интеллектуальная история и история идей, а также достижений междисциплинарной историографии и социологии, сфокусированной на анализе роли и места религии в процессах секуляризации. Используя дискурс-анализ и биографический метод, автор показывает, как современная массовая культура ассимилирует религиозное. В результате исследования нашла подтверждение гипотеза о том, что визуализация религиозного опыта стала отражением конфликта между сторонниками секуляризации и их оппонентами. В качестве основных выводов следует обозначить ряд положений. Во-первых, в работе прослежено, какие социокультурные запросы реализуют образы религиозного в рассмотренных сериалах: они представляют собой «возможные миры», где американское обще</p><p>ство получило возможность рефлексировать по поводу вызовов и угроз традиционализма и фанатизма. Во-вторых, основными проблемами, представленными в сериалах, стали проблемы конструирования и деконструкции религиозного (отношения веры и атеизма, науки и религии, вторичная «клерикализация» виртуального мира будущего, фанатизм, национализм и ксенофобия, политическая архаизация и идеологизация веры). В-третьих, показано, что религиозные мотивы в анализируемых сериалах стали объектами ассимиляции массовой культуры, причём вместо заявленного преодоления религии создатели сериалов сконструировали ещё одно культурное пространство, где вера актуализирует свои качества в качестве одного из сегментов идентичности. Таким образом формально развлекательные сериалы «Звёздный путь», «Вавилон 5» и «Орвилл» стали фактически социальными и культурными механизмами амбивалентного процесса секуляризации. Они актуализировали визуальными средствами коллективные идеологические, политические, исторические травмы и противоречия, полученные современным западным обществом в его попытках достичь компромисса между ценностями религии и перспективами «научно обоснованной» секуляризации.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The current agenda of cultural confrontation behind the clash of civilizations brings about the need for understanding and rethinking the religious experiences of the West. This study aims to specify the role of sci-fi series in Western mass culture. The following tasks need to be addressed: 1) to clarify the key trends in the enactment of religious patterns by political theology of mass culture; 2) to analyze major problems of actualization and visualization of religious issues both in political and sci-fi discourses; 3) to identify potential trajectories of the development of religious images instrumentalized in the vein of politics and ideology. The research material is derived from sci-fi series with similar thematic universes, ranging from the classic Star Trek and Babylon 5, to the recently released The Orville. It is shown that the series have played a significant role in the modern history of consumer society. They present the development of political culture and historical memory as well as visualized political theology. In order to conduct the study the theoretical approaches of intellectual history, history of ideas, interdisciplinary historiography and sociology of religion and secularization were applied. Discourse analysis and the biography method were used to showcase the assimilation of religious aspects in mass culture. As the result the hypothesis that visualization of religious experiences epitomizes the conflict around secularization was proved. The author comes to three major conclusions. First, religious images in the studied sci-fi series respond to the need of American society to reflect on the threats of traditionalism and fanatism in the hypothetic universe. Second, the series stress the problems of constructing and deconstructing the religious, for example of the relation between science and faith. Third, religious images were assimilated by mass culture through sci-fi series, where religion also plays a role in characters’ identification. Thus, the series are more than entertainment, they serve as social and cultural vehicles of ambivalent secularization process by visualizing collective traumas and disputes about the role of religion.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>массовая культура</kwd><kwd>сериалы</kwd><kwd>Звёздный путь</kwd><kwd>Вавилон 5</kwd><kwd>Орвилл</kwd><kwd>политическая культура</kwd><kwd>религия</kwd><kwd>религиозный фундаментализм</kwd><kwd>фанатизм</kwd><kwd>секуляризация</kwd><kwd>идентичность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>mass culture</kwd><kwd>TV series</kwd><kwd>Star Trek</kwd><kwd>Babylon 5</kwd><kwd>The Orville</kwd><kwd>political culture</kwd><kwd>religion</kwd><kwd>religious fundamentalism</kwd><kwd>fanaticism</kwd><kwd>secularization</kwd><kwd>identity</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Аўтўэйт Ў., Рэй Л.
