ASPECTS OF SOCIAL IDENTITY AND LIMITING APPRECIATION OF THE ETHNIC
Keywords:
modernity, tradition, ethnic identity, ethnomarginal, ethnocentrismAbstract
In this paper we propose an analysis of social identities based on two aspects thereof: tradition and modernity. A short foray into social life demonstrates that the two approaches are not mutually excluded although there are approaches on this matter. We then demonstrated that ethnicity is one of the deepest stances of social identity, ethnocentrism and the ethnomarginal are two forms of radical valorisation of the ethnic identity. Ideological and political instrumentation of the ethnic identity and limit valuing posed by these open the path to intolerance and social discrimination.References
