THREE GLOBES OF oἰκουμένη

Abstract

The article is based on the reports at seminars at the Center for Civilizational and Regional Studies of the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The subject of the article is an analysis of the main aspects and trends of the evolution of history: routes and trends of universal transit as an interdisciplinary area of scientific research and as one of the "big challenges" for civilization. It examines the stepped path of history - three generations of the global organization: progress from the imperial colonization of the planet through decolonization and the unification of nations to a society of post-colonial nomadicity with an emphasis on personal sovereignty . The actuality of the problem is determined by the need to rethink the socio-cultural heritage of civilization, its current status and opening prospects. Postcoloniality, relying on creativity, experimenting with a variety of ways of self-organization and self-realization, finds itself in a symbiotic union with Postmodernity.
