Concepts of images «past» and identify the «real» in the perception of youth events of the twentieth century: the historical media discourse

Аннотация

In a period of serious political, social and economic transformation a new generation has grown in Kazakhstan. This generation has its own viewpoints, values, opinions and attitudes towards the world in which borders have become global. That is why it is important to study youth with regard to their temporal self-identification as they are perceiving this world through a prism of digital technology and are actively using up to 4-5 devices, social networks and have “friends” in different continents. “Is there a link between images of the past formed by mass media and images of the past which create the identifying basis of youth’s consciousness?” This hypothesis was previously suggested in an scientific project “Russia in 1917 in perceptions of modern youth: media discussion” under a leader-ship of an academic I. M. Dzyaloshinskiy, which become a foundation for the research of Kazakhstan’s youth [1].
