Barbashin, M. Yu. Researches of Ethnogenesis in Modern Ethnosociology: General Methodological Issues

Abstract: The article analyzes the main methodological, discursive and ideological issues existing in modern sociological researches of ethnogenesis. Describing the history of sociological interest towards ethnogenesis issues including Post- Modern methodological shift, the author underlines the need in deideologization of ethnosocial researches. Post-modern ideologization shows itself in the influence of political correctness on all levels of social research, from choosing the topic of research to the ‘correct’ formulation of conclusions. The other side of formation of the ideological standard in ethnosocial researches is the general Post-Modern critics underlying that ‘objective’ researches are impossible because existing terminology reflects the dominance of the political dominating group over discriminated ethnic groups. From the point of view of the Post-Modern discourse, ethnogenesis is the term loaded with discursive-conceptual and axiological value and different ethnosocial mythologems. Without deideologization of social discourse, methodological framework of theoretical assumptions, hypothesis and researches of ethnogenesis will never expand.


Keywords:

ethnogenesis, methodology, ethnicity, identity, ideology, post-modernism, ethnosociology, ethnos, political correctness, mythologem.
