"PATRIOTS" AND "PROGRESSORS": ON THE USE OF CONFLICTS IN CONSTRUCTION OF A LOCAL DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The goal of the following research is to elicit the mechanisms behind the construction of local discourses around cultural project in Perm. To achieve this goal the researcher starts with historical comparison of social circumstances around local discourses in Perm in the XIXth, the XXth centuries and the post-Soviet era. When the research moves to the key events of cultural project in Perm, it reveals social conflict between local communities and project leaders. Understanding of this conflict requires the next step: reconstruction of the discourses belonging to various local cultural leaders, civic activists, leaders of the cultural project in Perm. Analysis of various interviews and publications of local media allows to scrutinize evolution of discourse from “unique identity of Perm” narrative to “resistance vs. Moscow invaders” narrative. The article ends with characterization of a new local discourse formed in the end of the conflict.
