Dear colleagues,

Acquiring new humanitarian knowledge in the modern world is possible both with the use of old traditional research methods and new, innovative, including digital. Our task is interdisciplinary research, which gives not only the effect of novelty but also allows us to consider the object of research from different sides, more deeply. We propose the publication of relevant articles, which contain the results of original research of interdisciplinary teams. The research will focus on topics related to:

• theory, and methodology of anthropological research, development of terminology of social/cultural anthropology, issues of historical and anthropological reconstructions;
• studying populations with the focus of research by modern natural scientific methods (also paleogenetic) and the influence of the environment on the processes of anthropogenesis, ethnogenesis and cultural genesis;
• studying historical memory in sociocultural anthropology through an interdisciplinary approach;
• the study of multi-ethnic and multi-confessional regions in which peoples of different linguistic, religious and cultural backgrounds live and interact;
• the anthropology of everyday life, the history of material and spiritual culture: from tradition to digital modernity;
• social psychology, ethnopsychology, and ethnopedogy as factors of preservation of ethnocultural heritage of peoples and countries, a means of formation of identity;
• identity transformation in Virtual Space: cyber-ethnicity and web religiosity
• experience in the application of geographic information systems (GIS) in modern ethnographic research based on the open-source QGIS software
• modern interdisciplinary assessments of human, social and cultural diversity in the face of global change.

We look forward to receiving your contributions!
