Annotation

The article reveals the potential of the concept of “mentality” in the context of new research approaches: semanticgenetic and narrative. The concepts of “mentality” and “mentality” are explicated. «Mentality» is defined as an objective phenomenon in which the ethnopsychological portrait of a subject or social group is stereotyped in the context of adaptation to the cultural environment of one’s residence. Mentality is revealed as a «the phenomenon» that determines the quality of the psycho-emotional characteristics of the subject of cognitive activity. It is substantiated that one of the important factors that determine the mental characteristics of an ethnic group is historical memory, in the context of which competing meanings and narratives of the experience of interaction between different social groups are formed. A categorization of mentality based on the attitude to space, place, territory of residence is proposed; attitude to time as a physical and sociocultural measure; relation to the name (thing); relation to memory; relationship between man and God; relationship between a person and a group; relationship between people and government. The birth of narrative meaning appears in the palette of this diversity. It is noted that the modern Chechen society was formed under the influence of various factors: its own historically primary adaptation experience, which found expression in the norms of adat in the context of living in a multi-ethnic North Caucasian region, Islamic culture and Russian history. A typology of cultural-historical semanticgenetic and narrative continuity of the practice of Chechen everyday life in relation to the last centuries has been developed. It is concluded that the semantic-genetic and narrative continuity of historical facts experienced by any ethnic group, in transgressive shifts of values, is formed in the competitive confrontation of different meanings and narratives.
