Abstract

© Serials Publications.The value and actuality of the research problem is obvious due to the needs of reconstruction of underlying constitutive prerequisites for the crisis in the contemporary global university Slavic studies in the context of development of the ideas of nationalism. The purpose of this research is to deconstruct methodological ideas of the founders of the university Slavic studies in the context of nation ideas development. The approach of modern historical epistemology that deconstructs research discourse in the context of nation-building ideas is a leading approach to the problem under consideration. The main results of the research consist in the revision and systematization of narratives of the history of Slavic antiquities study by the means of discourse analysis methods. Principal strategies of creation of universal for European research fundamental base of sources are analyzed. The main lines of methodology of the first generation of university Slavists are marked out on the basis of the analysis of historiography context. The inner methodological conflict in Slavic studies at the alteration of generations is deconstructed; the model of specialization is reconstructed. Ideologems constructed by Slavists when working on ancient monuments are revealed; the operation algorithm is formed for residual ideologemes functioning actively to the present day in the research discourse, in the sphere of social construction, in cultural and public life, in the sphere of particular cross-cultural interactions formation. The materials of this paper may be useful for the research of paradoxical undeciphered subjects of history of the historical science of the 19th century, for teaching disciplines such as sociology of knowledge, historical epistemology, cultural geography, political science, historiography of Slavic studies.
