Культура коммуникаций на Северо-Востоке России

Abstract

The paper provides an overview of traditional and modern ways of organizing communication between communities in Chukotka and examines the question of transmission national and territorial identity, having the opportunity to use new means of communication. The material is based on observations and interviews obtained in rural settlements and cities of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Communicative culture is considered in the paradigm of the multidimensional mobility of John Urry. Both the practices of physical movement of people and their transformation, and also ways of exchanging information are described. In particular, the transformation of indigenous people’s perception of displacement and recreation, which occurred under the influence of the visiting population and state policy, is described. Rest begins to be associated with compulsory travel outside of one’s place of residence, mobility. As another example of a new communicative culture is the inter-village communication of residents through WhatsApp messenger. It is shown that the initially utilitarian function of these groups – the exchange of information, becomes not the main one. The predominant motive of a person to be their participant is the feeling of belonging to the local community.
