Abstract

Modern society is defined by the emergence of new professions and new directions that are moving from occupations to professions and are legitimized. The article discusses the features of the professionalization of the science art direction and the features of the development of this direction in different cities in Russia.The main research method is biographical interviews with scientists, artists and architects - representatives of science art in Naberezhnye Chelny, Kazan, Tomsk and St. Petersburg (n=22). To analyze the interview, a narrative strategy was used, within the framework of which the meanings of the career and professional path of individuals involved in science art projects were analyzed. Two strategies of professionalization of science art in Russia are identified, which are presented in different cities and depend on various resources present in these cities. The first strategy of professionalization of science art is "from above", due to the emergence of new master's programs and the professionalization of the direction of science art in universities, the second strategy of professionalization "from below" is characterized by the professionalization of science art as an occupation and is associated with the development of the field of science art within the framework of the emergence of the community and the development of the direction within the communities themselves. The highlighted strategies allow us to judge that the development of professionalization of the direction has at least two ways: on the one hand, the creation of a profession and its institutionalization as the most effective way today in large cities of Russia, and on the other hand, the development of science art in the format of communities of interest and the inclusion of both artists and scientists, including specialists and teachers of seminars and workshops.
