Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the “artistic practices” concept. The scientific works devoted to artistic practices and published in the period from the 1990s to 2023 were chosen as the analysis material. The study sample included both scientific research articles and fundamental works by modern scientists. The study purpose was to summarize existing approaches to the concept of “artistic practices” and strategies for constructing ethnocultural identity by artistic practices. The very concept of “artistic practices” is a widely used in modern cultural studies. An analysis of scientific publications showed that it is used in both narrow and broad meanings. In the narrow sense, artistic practices are usually called works of art of one kind or another. In the broad sense, the content of “artistic practices” concept goes beyond the designation of a set of individual forms and processes of artistic activity and expands to a phenomenon that is significant for social interaction, a source of study of ethno-cultural processes. The author substantiates the connection between artistic practices and the ideal-forming function of culture. Artistic practices are endowed with the ability, through sign-symbolic forms, special artistic means of expression, to record the values and ideals of both a separate ethnic group and society as a whole. These artistic means of expression become the mechanism through which the transformation of ethnocultural identity is recorded in artistic practices, in particular in works of fine art
