ENThis book is a collection of scholarly essays written at different time and published in various journals with some book reviews added. The first part of the collection deals with the main aspects of the post-modern world and our living world. Here are unfolded some insights related to the rapid spread of new media technologies and their impact on the social relations, which have not yet been adequately taken into account in writing the monograph Postmodern Capitalism (Rubavičius, 2010). New media technologies, as social and cultural milieu, are forming new conditions of socialization and identity formation. Picture, image and language are connected in memory as a locus of imagination. The Oriental culture is subsumed under the processes of globalization in order to explain the emergence of global popular culture and market characteristics of the cultural industry and economy. Argumentations are supported by the extension of Hegelian insights into romantic art essence and reconsideration of Kantian aesthetic categories, especially that of the sublime. The peculiarities of modern architecture as reflected in post- metaphysical discourse and varios features of this discourse are analyzed. The second part delves into the relationships of cultural memory, place and identity, examines the circumstances and characteristics of the rise, strengthening and spread of modern Lithuanian national identity in the process of state building.
