Трансформация идентичности и реабилитация идеологии в условиях нарастания мирового кризиса

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of identity and “narratives of self-determi­nation” in the modern intellectual field. According to the author of the article, modern identity politics generates new and actualizes old narratives of cultural, civilizational, national and confessional self-determination. The article states the crisis of Euro-identity, which is developing under the influence of posthu­manism and aggressive transatlanticism, as well as the general crisis of Western values responsible for ensuring “social interactions” in Durkheim’s sense of this term. This may indicate a change in the development model and norms of self-identification in the Western world in the next decade. The author also points to the crisis of post-Soviet identity, which is gradually being overcome through the cultural synthesis of pre-Soviet and Soviet, “white” and “red” models of self-identification. It is stated that a society that does not develop its historical iden­tity has to accept the globalist quasi-identity imposed on it, as evidenced by the post-Soviet period in Russia. The author explains the struggle between differ­ent norms for describing identity through the rivalry of socio-political groups in the course of the restoration of the basic Russian identity. The article points to the connection of the external, superficial semantics of identity with the influ­ence of political ideologies, and emphasizes the difference between optimal ideo­logies and doctrinal super-ideologies, such as Marxist-Leninist and neoliberal. In contrast to the stable core of identity, ideology often changes under the influ­ence of new historical conditions.. At the same time, the core of identity (“who we are”) and the “zone” of ideology (“what we are striving for”) refer to each other and explain each other, because without an understanding of its long-term goals, it would be problematic for society to develop a complete self-characteri­zation.
