THE CONCEPT OF IDENTITY OF THE NATIONAL CULTURAL SPACE OF UKRAINE IN ITS GLOBAL DIMENSION

Abstract

The article examines the issue of the formation of the identity of the national cultural space and its transformation under the influence of globalization processes, digitalization, intercultural communication, and contemporary socio-cultural challenges. The role of cultural memory, historical heritage, art, language, and symbolic practices in the processes of constructing national identity is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the fact that, in the context of global cultural exchange, the national cultural space appears not only as a sphere for preserving traditions but also as a dynamic system capable of adaptation, reinterpretation, and integration of new cultural models. In the global dimension, the concept of the identity of the national cultural space is transformed into the concept of supra-identity, which is formed on the basis of the synthesis of local and universal civilizational values. Supra-identity is defined as the highest level of national self-awareness that integrates cultural diversity and ensures national cohesion, authenticity, and the resilience of the cultural system in the context of global transformations. At the same time, it does not deny local cultural characteristics but promotes their interaction and representation within the global cultural space. Special attention is devoted to the role of art and cultural practices as instruments for shaping collective identity, consolidating society, and preserving national meanings. It is determined that the contemporary cultural space functions as a multi-level communication system within which a constant correlation occurs between tradition and innovation, the local and the global, the national and the transnational. It is concluded that the formation of supra-identity is an important factor in cultural security and in the representation of the state within the global humanitarian environment.
