Abstract
Promocijas darba pētnieciskais jautājums ir: vai un ka etniskas un nacionālas identitātes diskursīvajās manifestācijās parādās indivīdu rīcībspēja un dažādas ideoloģiskas ietekmes, kā arī - vai un kā identitātes diskursīvas konstrukcijas atšķiras dažādās situācijās un kā tas ietekmē interakcijas konteksts. Veiktas diskursu analīzes teksta materiāls ir fokusa grupu diskusiju (kopumā 24 fokusa grupu diskusijas) transkripti un Interneta portāla „Delfi” latviešu un krievu versijas diskusijas par etniskajiem jautājumiem. Pētījuma rezultātā secināts, ka interakcijas konteksts – sarunas tēma, sociālās kontroles iespējamība, anonimitātes līmenis, interakcijas žanrs – būtiski ietekmē etniskas un nacionālas kategorizācijas interakcija. Promocijas darba teorētiskā pieeja ir sociāla konstrukcionisma perspektīvā balstītu radniecīgu teoriju sintēze, kuras pamatā ir kritiskas diskursīvas psiholoģijas pieeja, kas autorei ļauj konceptualizēt un pētīt rīcībspējas un ideoloģijas izpausmes etniskās un nacionālās identitātes diskursīvajās manifestācijās. Atslēgvārdi: etniska un nacionāla identitāte, diskursu analīze, interakcijas konteksts, rīcībspēja, ideoloģija.
The research question of the PhD thesis „The Social Construction of Ethnic and National Identities in Interaction: the Case of Latvia” is how within discursive constructions of ethnic and national identities among the Latvian and Russian language communities an agency of language users and different ideological influences are manifested, as well as – how discursive constructions of identity differ in various circumstances and how they are influenced by the context of interaction. The empirical basis of the discourse analysis are transcripts of focus group discussions (in total 24 focus group discussions) and discussions on ethnic issues in both the Latvian and Russian versions of the Internet news portal „Delfi”. The study reveals that the context of interaction – topics, a level of social control and anonymity, a genre of interaction – significantly impacts manifestations of ethnic and national categorizations. The theoretical approach of the study is based on the synthesis of several theories within the perspective of social constructionism, including the theory of critical discursive psychology, which allows to conceptualize and study elements of ideology and agency in the discursive manifestations of ethnic and national identities. Key words: ethnic and national identities, discourse analysis, context of interactions, agency, ideology
