Modern Ukrainian-Chinese musicology in the field of intercultural dialogue

The main positions of scientific studies of Chinese musicologists in Ukraine through the prism of understanding the intercultural dialogue as a communication process are covered in the article. Communicative processes between European and Chinese cultures in socio-cultural, aesthetic-stylistic planes, in musical-theatrical, vocal, instrumental arts are considered. The purpose of the article was to identify the positions of contemporary musicological thought that addresses the idea of intercultural dialogue and its related processes in general and in the context of the «Europe-China» relationship. The main scientific positions were outlined regarding the idea of intercultural dialogue in its relation with the phenomena of communication, inculturation and acculturation tendencies, etc.; the contemporary (from the 1990s) musicology studies carried out in Ukraine about the musical culture of China were considered; the existence and specificity of the implementation of intercultural communication were discovered; the main lines for further study of the European-Chinese intercultural dialogue were identified in the research process. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is based, first of all, on the Bakhtin’s dialogue concept and also the concepts by O. Berehova, Yu. Lotman, O. Samoilenko, M. Shved and others. In the process of studying this topic, the work of such Chinese researchers as Vu Huolinh, Li Siabin, Lo Kun, Liu Bintsian, Sun Zhuilun, Tu Dunia, Khou Tszian, Khu Pin, Chzhan Siaokhao, Chzhu Chanlei. Conclusions are made on the active development of comparative studies in contemporary musicology, based on comparing European and Chinese artistic traditions. Research can be of practical importance to future researchers in intercultural communication processes. The main task in the intercultural dialogue Europe-China is to achieve the creative understanding, which, according to M. Bakhtin, arises at the level of a consistent interpretation of the essence.
