The lect urer will also discuss the findings on the formati on of a cultural code of single motherhood in post war Russia through the analysis of fiction. The cu ltural code of single motherhood has been forged i n a contradictory environment. Though officially a ccepted since the 1944 law\, Soviet single mothers found themselves in an ambiguous context. On the one hand\, single Soviet women were urged by the s tate and official propaganda to give birth. On the other hand\, under pressure of traditional family values they felt despised by the traditional fami ly values. The code was reconstructed through the analysis of twelve short stories published between 1959 and 1984. The code itself was centred around eleven meaning facets which conspicuously show it s genesis\, structure and function. \n \n \n \nSin ce gaining his PhD in 2015\, Dmitrii Sergeev has p rimarily focused on cultural meaning and its depen dence on social determinants and cultural variable s\, analysing culture-related processes of meaning -making and the development of new forms of cultur al texts. He investigates how cultural codes and p roduction of cultural texts function within a part icular social group that is underrepresented. His research visit to the Laboratory for Social Anthro pology of the Collège de France in 2011 enhanced h is knowledge of modern methodology applied in soci ological research. His interest in illustrated lit erature with its connection to societal and cultur al development stemmed from his study at the Unive rsity of Versailles-Saint-Quentin in 2013. He ques tioned the fact of the emergence of illustrated ch ildren’s literature particularly with its connecti on to social and historical contexts. This led him to develop a theory of pragmasemantic behaviour w hich enriched the analytical instrumentation with new approaches\, particularly\, the sociology of t he text and social semiotics. Later he linked the studies of illustrated texts and culturally underr epresented groups. His findings have been dissemin ated in three monographs\, two published by the Ru ssian Academy of Science\, as well as in internati onally peer-reviewed journals\, such as Russian St udies in Philosophy\, Universe of Russia\, Sociolo gical Studies. His paper in the Sociological Studi es Journal on the pragmasemantic theory through th e emergence of children’s picturebooks was recogni zed as the best publication of 2016 in the “New Ap proach in Social Analysis” nomination category. He has conducted long-term research topics as a memb er of two research teams and headed three projects financially supported by grants from the Federal Government of the Russian Federation. In 2018 he w orked on the development of syllabus of the “Histo ry of Children’s Picturebooks in the United States ” in the Fulbright Faculty Development Program at Illinois State University. \n \n \nSelected Public ations \nSergeev D.V.
