  • Ethnicity in Urban Space: Representation Practices and Research Approaches to Studying the Topic

    Research Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 8 No 2
    Author:
    Ekaterina A. Iagafova
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    The article examines research experience in the representation of ethnicity in urban environments, analyzing the work of Russian and international scholars on the topic. It identifies and characterizes the main forms and methods of demonstrating ethnic culture, explores the role of representational practices in shaping the sociocultural space of the city, and outlines the principal areas of research. The material is analyzed in terms of its thematic focus, subject area, and the methodological approaches employed by the researchers. The results demonstrate that the representation of ethnicity is linked to the formation of an ethnic image (“one's own”, “the Other”). The subject of the research encompasses the methods of ethnicization of urban space as a symbolic and functional “appropriation” of the urban environment; the means of representation expressed in textual, visual, and material forms; and the role of ethnic communities and the national-cultural public organizations representing them in this process. Technologies for representing and preserving ethnic culture, understood as a set of methods and tools for its preservation — including through its construction — involve practices such as staging public events (“staging ethnicity”), urban design, and the symbolic development of space in the creation of ethnically marked community canteens and retail outlets.

    The search for communication’s universal means is one of the most important linguistic tasks. For this purpose, artificial languages are created, one of the most popular of them is the “planned” language of Esperanto. The Esperanto linguistic phenomenon is that this language was created artificially, but over time it has acquired some characteristics of natural languages. The development and evolution of Esperanto still continues nowadays.

    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    The article is devoted to the study of Chuvash ethnic myth-making in cyberspace. The aim of the work is to determine its role as one of the factors of ethnicity representation. The study is based on the analysis of the relevant content presented on popular web platforms and social networks YouTube, Rutube, Zen, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki. The study identifies a certain section of content offered by search algorithms as the most viewed and included in thematic collections and playlists. The author examines the myth-making components of the Internet space, characterizes formats and plots, identifies their authors, and studies the audience's reaction to the content. Data analysis showed that ethnic myth-making has a positive effect on the representation of the Chuvash culture. Despite some inaccuracies in the information, such material generally evokes positive emotions in users. Information in video and text format is published on popular Russian platforms, making ethno-myth-creating content accessible to a wide audience. The myths created by the authors reflect their desire to show the antiquity and significance of the Chuvash people, which helps the Chuvash people to understand their identity, place and role in the world. Ethno-myth-creating content on the Internet increases interest in the Chuvash culture, promoting its popularization and representation.
