Сучасні концепції нації-держави у призмі архетипної методології

Abstract

The paper dwells on the nation-state’s future in the information age. The futuristic tour of the nation-state’s future leaves a wide field for reflection and research. It is time to create a qualitatively new postmodern concept of the nation as opposed to the traditional industrial-modern one, which will help the modern man not only to moderately distance himself from the globalization foundations of world life but also to create a kind of axio-resistant for the nation-state. The object of research is the entire sphere of national consciousness through the prism of the research of modern Western theoreticians of the nation in spectral analysis. The research subject is the sociological concept of the nation (D. Schnapper) and the political and legal concept of triad nationalism (R. Brubaker). The main idea is to find out the specifics of the theoretical load of the supramodern Western concepts of nation and nationalism, to analyze and compare the concepts of modern theorists of the nation with modern ones, to create a new strategic theory of the development of the nation-state in the information age, to prove the impossibility of the nation-state in changing conditions of the globalized 21st century. The author determines the cognitive value and intellectual load of the theoretical decline and praxeological aspects of modern scientific versions of the nation and nationalism and the heuristic potential that can give impetus to constructing a new theory of strategic development of the nation-state in the 21st century. The methodological orientations of the problem of the position of the national state in the era of global society are clarified in comparison with theoreticians of the concepts of global world life – M. McLuhan, N. Postman, M. Castells, and, based on this, the aspects of changing the functional load of the concept of the national state at the current stage are determined. Expressed mobility of nationology is determined.
