Abstract

The aim of the work is to analyse the systemic characteristics of historical identity as a scientific category and to comprehend its substantive core on the basis of the paradigm that dominates in a particular historical period. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of historical and cultural studies analysis. The conceptual methodological core of the research is the system analysis of identity as a complex hierarchical system, self-developing in the chronotype. The scientific novelty lies in the conceptualisation of the phenomenon of historical identity from the standpoint of its temporality in the context of the acceleration of identification processes. The invariant and variable nature of the phenomenon has been revealed. Conclusions. Based on the memorial paradigm of the continuity of history in its correlation with time, it has been shown that historical identity is a sociology-cultural construct, the key mechanism for the formation of which is the dichotomy of «memory-oblivion».

Key words: historical identity, collective identity, memory, oblivion, temporality.
