Abstract

It’s difficult to imagine any social community without marginal phenomena – marginal groups, people, social roles, displays of marginal consciousness and behavior. In every society individuals, social and ethnic groups and social strata act as bearers of marginal qualities. In other words, marginality is a social-cultural and social-psychological phenomenon, which has always been an indivisible part of different historical societies of various social types. In this sense, the study of the phenomenon of anomie, considered in the context of marginality, is especially important. The importance of problems of anomic identities increases especially in transforming societies, where in the result of political, economic, social and cultural reconstructions oncestable social structures are changed. Their elements – the social institutes, social groups and individuals appear in intermediate and transitional situations. In a sense, anomie becomes one of the main characteristics of marginality in transforming societies.
