Phenomenon of

THE NORTH CAUCASIAN IDENTITY

by the example of

the Republic of Ingushetia

who managed to “retain” their identity

and make it the object of interest not

only for authentic bearers of the cultural

code but an important factor for

regional, economic, innovative

development

the endless cocktail

of cultures, traditions, “blood” and languages

managed to “retain” own identity

1 Introduction

Local Identity in Transcultural Space

THE NATURE OF DEMOGRAPHICAL AND ETHNIC

VIBRATIONS IS COMPLICATED AND MIXED. It is possible to make an attempt to solve this growing

welter of contradictions and further conflicts on the basis

of humanitarian and cultural discourse and establishment

of primarily:

• internal dialogue through reconstruction of deep and temporal codes;

• formation of the principles of soft esthetics as the space for intercultural

communication in contrast to aggression;

• detection of differences through positive competition;

• actualization of cultural codes of identity, verbal and nonverbal,

intercontextuality, religiousness and secularity.

in the system of global communications;

3. exploring special features of cultural interventions at the level of semiotic

and semantic codes, formation of style;

4. analysis and actualization of new formations, possible project scenarios,

visual and plastic games and intrigues, ciphers and decipherments

by the example of the specific highland culture.
