Abstracts

The proposed article is devoted to the Ukrainian discourses on social phenomena related to cultural and national identity. The author illustrates the changing meaning of the concept of national identity and analyses the views of Ukrainian scientific and creative elites on the process of identity formation and on the choices Ukrainians have made during the last two decades of independence. The author tries to reconstruct the overall picture of Ukrainian discourses on national identity between 1991 and 2015 by discovering the main themes and rhetorical strategies of expression represented by well-known intellectuals. Moreover, she shows the importance of rethinking the role of elites in overcoming the crisis of national identity and analyses the hazards of nation-centric thinking.
