The article conceptualizes the ontological separation in the situation of "contagious resonance", which is set in particular by the pandemic. There is a shift in the mass consciousness of the terrifying images that form a kind of "dark matter" of the materialist view of the modern capitalist world and embody in a certain cultural and historical perspective of the paradigm of life, power. Reveals four macro-images characteristic of the coordinate system of the modern world: demon, zombie, vampire and werewolf. They reveal as a kind of substance of this world the separation-partition that allows the following processes: alienation, appropriation, consumption, absorption, exploitation, rotation, assimilation, satisfaction, exchange, information, knowledge, transformation, desolation, infection, vaccination. This is a paradoxical state of mass consciousness caused by a pandemic, when the penetration of "infinitesimally" leads to extraordinary social processes of separation, distancing, alienation, which is represented by horrible macro images, diagrams of which are presented in the article. The main principle of the study is the principle of complementarity, which allows you to build such diagrams, exposing the complementarity, intertwining and compatibility of images of zombies, demons, vampires and werewolves in nonlinear perspective. The diagrammatic approach, therefore, allows you to highlight the eerie, incredible as everyday. Zombies and vampires are presented as paradigmatic for (post)modern culture, characterized by a special boundary state between death and immortality. The demon and the werewolf return the fears inherent in the pre-capitalist, archaic image of the world, when man was placed between the divine and animal dimensions. It is noted that the zombie figure embodies the grassroots phenomena of today: dead labor, industrial exploitation, consumerism, mass infection, advertising, information. A vampire marks a class gap and is the epitome of choice and the privilege it confers. The demon and the werewolf represent the fears present in the conservative and ecological consciousness. The article identifies four transversals that dissect the multiplicity of processes characteristic of modern society: zombies / infection, which characterizes the processes of transmission of everything from information to virus, vampire / vaccination as access to a set of privileges, demon / desolation, as separation of mental and physical , werewolves / transformations as interpenetration of different types of life.

The article is devoted to the understanding of the war waged by russia against Ukraine in the context of enlightenment projections of post(non/pre)modern. The article reveals a nihilistic orientation towards (self)destruction of the simu­lacrum of the russian empire, which was formed in the situation of post(non/pre) modernity, which created a certain fork between the (post)modern perspective and the retrospective fall into premodern barbarism. From this point of view, the war against Ukraine unleashed by the putin regime is seen as a clash between the (post)modern perspective chosen by Ukraine and the retrospective of the barbar­ic (post)non-/pre-modern imperialism that russia has chosen. It is emphasized that (post(under))modern trajectories of development, and in particular war, re­veal certain failures of the modern/enlightenment project, which took place in the compatibility of three mediations: monetary/market, discursive/communicative, sexual/erotic. russian authorities and propaganda demonstrate the pre-modern rejection of these mediations, deny the referentiality of language and communica­tive discourse, devalue market freedom and sexual freedoms, and destroy any dis­tinction. Thus, the destructive barbarism that manifests itself in russian aggres­sion is the embodiment of the retrospective nature of the impulse non/pre, whose negative logic tends to Nothing. Thus, it is a post(non/pre)modern incarnation of archaism in (schizo)fascism, characterized by internal divisions and the practice of external division, fueled by the movement of return / repetition. It is noted that the choice of civilization requires not only resistance to any manifestations of (non/pre)modern barbarism, but also requires the actualization of neomod­ern. Focused mainly on high-quality consumption and spectacles Western civili­zation should recognize the need to defend itself with the help of an army/force against the threat of its destruction by barbarians and assert itself not through the constant narrowing of its own borders, but through their radical opening, not through the constant postponement of decisions, but through immediate accep­tance of the challenge to its being.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the image of zombie in two contexts, which are, firstly, the transformation of capitalist figures of production and consumption, and secondly, the transformation of desire and sensuality. Two models of socio-philosophical interpretation of zombies related to the development of capitalism are revealed: the consumer and the proletarian. They concern the discourse of the economic crisis and the disgust to “irrational consumption” and the discourse of the exploitation of the worker by dead labor. It is noted that the image of zombie embodies total alienation, loss of social connection, which is based on emotional affinity, intimacy and affectivity. The figure of zombie is seen as the opposite of the Enlightenment model of human existence, which is characterized by a fundamental multiplicity, sensitivity and taste, which became the basis of a market economy. The image of zombie represents the fear of dissolving human diversity in the identity of desire and corporeality, which is destroyed and appears as “the same”. Zombies embody the instinct and infectivity of being. They denote “naked life”, the signs of which are the right to kill or exploit them. On the other hand, zombies are the embodiment of Use value: an empty post-capitalist, post-proletarian and post-consumer “life” reduced to pure need. Zombies figure represents the inner contradiction of (post)capitalism: on the one hand, the fear of renewing a Labour power that is no longer able to work, and on the other, the fear of losing sensual diversity that suspends the endless process of consumption. Thus, the fear of zombie is a defensive reaction to capitalist existence. On the other hand, it is an adjustment of consciousness, when the coercion to work and consume is based on the fear of becoming a zombie, in the presence of an unconscious willingness to destroy those whom capitalism excludes as zombies.
