Local and Ethnic Identity Constructions in Life Stories. Partial Results of a Research within the Population of Mixed-Ethnic Towns in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: Regarding the last ethnological, cultural anthropological, literary, sociological and psychological theories (for instance, Foucault’s discourse analysis, narratology, Lejeune’s autobiographical pact-theory), one property of modern life stories is that they reflect the identities of a given personality. In this study, I would like to aim at showing what they can tell us about the ethnic or local identities of an individual – with the help of an interdisciplinary analysis method. This method is based on the combination of three theories: hermeneutic phenomenology, the theoretical background of ethnography adopting narratology for text analysis; and discourse analysis. I would like to illustrate some examples offered by the results of a research about the inhabitants of Galanta, Gabčikovo and Komárno (Slovakia), which have mixed-ethnic population. The research concentrates on the frame of Slovak-Hungarian relations.
