Abstract

This article discusses conceptual approaches to describing ethno-cultural interaction and understanding ethnicity and ethnogenesis. Forms and types of ethno-cultural interaction are systematized taking into account the variety of forms of ethnic transformations and mechanisms of interaction. Ethno-cultural interaction is presented both in the broad and in the narrow sense of the word. Ethnicity transformation can be illustrated by the results of our ethno-sociological research in the Nenets Autonomous Area. Ethno-social phenomena take place due to the deformation of social ethnic consciousness among indigenous peoples of the north, the underlying factor being everyday changes in personal ethnic consciousness. The research on the ethnological landscape in the European North of Russia revealed the following local and regional patterns of ethno-cultural interaction: Kola Sami, Nenets, and Karelian-Finnish models.

Keywords
