Linguo-Propaedeutics of Ethnic Conflicts as a Basis for Stability in Complex Polyethnic Regions

Abstract

The purpose of the suggested article is to analyze the ethno-linguo-conflictogenity of the modern world based on desharmonizing environment of globalization phenomenon in such migrant-capacious and ethnically complex regions, as Tatarstan and Tyumen Region. Today we observe a tendency for blending of dissimilar elements not only in the society, but also in the psychic of a definite person. The authors suggest the ethno-linguo-propaedeutics to solve the stabilization problems in complex polyethnic regions. By the example of the Tatarstan Republic and Tyumen Region, the authors show the definite ways to implement the linguistic and national safety. Separate moments of the studied problem were reflected to some extent in the works of culture experts, sociologists, politologists, philosophers, philologers, psychologists and pedagogues. However, in these materials, the study problems of the linguo-propaedeutics, as a guarantor of state integrity, were either not considered at all, or were presented fragmentarily, without any attempts to analyze it thoroughly. The suggested work presents an attempt to solve these problems in a complex approach. The authors reasonably prove that there is a need in a new approach to analyze the preventive problems of ethnic conflicts, based on linguistic transformation methods of mental space of the linguistic personality. The suggested new construct "poly-linguo-cultural linguistic personality" is developed by the authors based on the analysis of speech behavior of bilinguals in Post-Soviet space, who speak Russian, but many elements in their mental worldview are replaced with the foreign national components, even if the Russian variant is present. The authors, for the first time, suggest a new approach for tolerance formation and prevention of interethnic conflicts; they name it as an ethno-psycho-linguo-propaedeutic approach. The suggested approach covers different levels of competences: it involves the linguistic competence itself, ethnolinguistic and sociolinguistic competences at the linguistic level; it involves psychological and ethnopsychological competences at psychological level; it involves linguo-cross-cultural, culturological and common cultural competences at sociocultural level; it involves communicative, social and pedagogical-propaedeutic competences at the communicative-propaedeutic level. Ethno-linguo-propaedeutic approach suggested and brought into practice by the authors, helps to pass on from the ethnocentrism position to cultural relativism. It opens great horizons for the interested representatives of the whole humanitarian science. The authors suggest using both interactive technologies and vivid training work for linguo-propaedeutics of ethnic conflicts. The achievement of the set aim of modern ethno-linguo-propaedeutics is connected with the solution of the following fundamental tasks: 1) to imagine yourself behind the limits of your own ethnocultural area; 2) to understand and realize the variety of the world, we live in,; 3) to get acquainted with d...

Modeling of Consciences Image "Government / Elite" by Tatars and Russians (Evidence from of the Republic of Tatarstan)

“…Modern ethno-linguo-propaedeutics are based on the attempt to shift gradually from the position of ethno-centrism to cultural relativism. The main content of cultural relativism can be formulated in the form of the following thesis: "All cultures are different, but they are equal", with the meaning, that your own cultural norms, values, traditions are not better or worse, than the others, and the others are not better or worse than your own (Zamaletdinov et al, 2014).…”

Ethnoconfessional Factor in Social Adaptation of Migrant Workers in the Muslim Regions of Russia

“…The problem of researching extremist materials in their modern understanding has been challenging scientists for more than 10 years and has been mentioned in a number of scientific works (Zamaletdinov et al, 2014& Khusnutdinova, 2012. A growing number of derivatives of the concept "security" can be found in foreign literature; among them are "security paradigm" (Stern, 1991& Sttern-Pattirsson, 2015, "security culture" (Laitinen, 2001), "security governance", "geo-security" (Laitinen, 2001) and many others.…”

“…Global Islamization directly influences on the ethnocultural situation practically in all Russian regions, and not just in traditionally Islamic (Tatarstan, Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia) that causes the necessity to develop new approaches (Zamaletdinov et al, 2014;Ryazantsev & Bozhenko, 2014& Riazantsev et al, 2014. The transboundary and efficient character of internet mass-media and blogs does not allow local officials to "hush up" the interethnic conflicts and/or treat them like domestic ones, to avoid aggravating the situation and its development into a social explosion (Karabulatova & Niyazova, 2014).…”

“…"The way to success" as it is understood by members of cultures with a low distance of power includes the system of values based on knowledge, love and happiness. Members of cultures with a high distance of the power build their system of values on the basis of social origin, inheritance, wealth, avarice, cunning and sometimes deception (dishonesty and business immorality) (Hofsted, 2001& Zamaletdinov et al, 2014). Today we see that among Russian youth the layer of so-called migrant youth appeared.…”

"Network Wars" as a New Type of Deviation Processes in the Modern Electronic and Information Society in the Context of Social and Economic Security

“…Values and models of the development became the subject of the global competition (Gerber, 2010;Gabdrafikov, et al, 2015& Dixon, et al, 2015, and, therefore, the grounds for evolution of a legal base in the context of the global competition appears, that is necessary for understanding of forces which influence the law on a competition at the international level. The rapid scientific and technical progress has led to a change of the environment and the increased role of information in citizens' everyday life that leads to a change of parameters of the social and economic security (Zamaletdinov et al, 2014 & Bugeja, 2015. …”
