It turns out difficult for an individual to adapt to the information mayhem, which affects the state of his / her consciousness and gives rise to the superficial information consumption phenomenon.

Key words: Hyper informatisation, information consumption, consumerism.

Ethnical Processes in the Global Information Space

NIKITINA Erbina Vitalyevna

Candidate of Philosophical Sciences, Associate Professor, Chair of Philosophy and Methodology of Science, Ulyanov Chuvash State University

According to the article, ethnical processes in the global information space are of contradictory nature. On the one hand, standardization of life and single information space result in degradation of national languages and ethnical mentality. On the other hand, the Internet, together with mass media, ensures information and communication support for ethnicity retranslation.

In the information society, ethnicity that expresses cultural and biological diversity of the mankind is opposed with virtuality as post-biological form of existence of a person. Ethnicity outburst in the Internet era is accounted by the fact that traditional mentality enables modern people to “filter” information flows and find spiritual and moral guides in the world of telecommunications simulacrums.

Key words: Ethnicity, ethnical mentality, ethnical lingual processes, ethnically oriented mass media, the Internet, information society, virtual reality.
