Traditional Ethnoculture as a Marker of Identity in the Conditions of a Crisis State of Society

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider traditional ethnoculture, which acts as a marker of national identity in the conditions of a crooked state of societies. The research methodology is based on systemic and value approaches, as well as on the application of an analytical method, synthetic, culturological, which will allow a comprehensive consideration of the specified issues and obtain the corresponding research results. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical understanding and updating of the issues of forming the mechanism of tradition within the ethnic culture of society and the identification of their essential characteristics, which serve as determinants of identity (attunement) to a certain culture, especially in the conditions of a crooked state of society, caused by both internal and external factors. Conclusions. As a result of the research, it was found that traditional ethnoculture is not only an important historical phenomenon, but also a tool for adapting society to crisis challenges. It serves as the core of the cultural system, which preserves the uniqueness of the people, interacting with other levels of culture, enriching them with its symbols, traditions and values. Traditional ethnoculture is an important resource that helps societies overcome crises, preserve their uniqueness and integrate into the world cultural space, acting not only as a marker of national and cultural identity, but also forms the spiritual basis for further development.
