Abstract

The article is dedicated to the philosophical and cultural experience of reflexive observation and interpretation of current trends in global development defining strategies of leaders who carry out their life projects in new organizational and communicative modes. As the theoretical premise of the study the approach of U. Eco disclosed in the book “Turning back the clock” is adopted; further on, the authors elaborate on M. Castells’ ideas about “real virtuality”; Anderson’s “imagined community” analysis; and “smart crowd” concept of G. Reinhold. Contemporary problems of organizational and communicative processes are defined by the authors as cluster “projects” since they are carried out according to the principles of self-organization, have network decentralized structure, and their participants identify themselves from personalistic positions of “we-identity”. Conducted study of the modes of cluster community’s interaction, problems of unifying the sociocultural reality, and achievements of the information-cum-digital economy indicates the formation of smart reality. It is characterized by the continuity of communication, strengthening of urbanization processes, and formation of the close world of personal practices immersed into group habitat which is commonly perceived by representatives of various groups. The article considers the function of information technologies in maintaining a balance between archaic and contemporary global forms of social practice organization as a central point of discussion.
