The concept of superdiversity introduced by S. Vertovec means a new way for describing and analyzing contemporary social and cultural processes. The author considers three interrelated aspects of superdiversity: descriptive, methodological and practical (political). As a rule, superdiversity implies new immigrants who move from a larger number of countries than before, including those that did not have colonial relations with the places attracting immigrants. The emerging contexts of superdiversity are not limited to the growth of “diversity in terms of ethnicity” - a multidimensional approach to superdiversity allows it to reflect patterns of social inequality, creolization and the experience of social contacts determined by diversification of migration channels and social statuses of immigrants, of their ethnic, gender and age characteristics. Under the permanent mobility, multiple identities and diverse transnational practices, not everything can be represented in terms of ‘we-they’, ‘majority-minority’, ‘inside-outside’. Therefore, superdiversity is not related to the Other or minorities but presents a new framework for all residents of the country, regardless of their origin. Moreover, in local contexts, cultural diversity is increasingly perceived as a norm. Thus, the concept of superdiversity contributes to the development of a new cultural narrative that would replace the outdated concepts of assimilation and multiculturalism.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Концептуализация социокультурных контекстов XXI века в терминах суперразнообразия подразумевает диверсификацию нынешнего разнообразия, обусловленную меняющимися паттернами глобальной миграции и транснационализации. Концепт суперразнообразия, предложенный С. Вертовеком, выступает в статье как обозначение нового способа описания и анализа современных социальных и культурных процессов. Автор рассматривает три взаимосвязанных аспекта концепта суперразнообразия: дескриптивный, методологический и практический (или политический). Понятие суперразнообразия, как правило, соотносится с новыми иммигрантами, которые перемещаются из множества стран, в том числе не отягощенных прошлым колониальных отношений с местами притяжения миграционных потоков. Характеристика возникающих контекстов суперразнообразия не исчерпываются признанием роста «разнообразия в терминах этничности» - многомерное измерение суперразнообразия позволяет инкапсулировать паттерны социального неравенства, креолизации и опыт освоения социального пространства, возникающие в условиях диверсификации миграционных каналов и социальных статусов иммигрантов, а также их этнических, гендерных и возрастных характеристик. В новых условиях перманентной мобильности, множественных идентичностей и разнообразных транснациональных практик далеко не все может быть представлено в терминах «мы-они», «большинство-меньшинство», «inside-outside». В этой связи суперразнообразие соотносится не с Другими или меньшинствами, а понимается как новые контекстуальные рамки для всех жителей страны, независимо от их происхождения. При этом в локальных контекстах культурное разнообразие все чаще воспринимается как норма жизни. Таким образом, концепт суперразнообразия сегодня вовлечен в создание нового культурного нарратива современности, вытесняющего устаревшие концепции ассимиляции и мультикультурализма.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>superdiversity</kwd><kwd>migration patterns</kwd><kwd>transnationalization</kwd><kwd>globalization</kwd><kwd>interculturalism</kwd><kwd>local contexts</kwd><kwd>cultural narratives</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>суперразнообразие</kwd><kwd>паттерны миграции</kwd><kwd>транснационализация</kwd><kwd>глобализация</kwd><kwd>интеркультурализм</kwd><kwd>локальные контексты</kwd><kwd>культурные нарративы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Гидденс Э.
