Atslegvardi: etniska un nacionala identitate, diskursu analize, interakcijas konteksts,
ricibspeja, ideologijaThe 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.
