The aim of this course is to discuss ethnicity and its konceptuali-sation in terms of applicability as a scientific analytical to the category and capture it in the revision process, constructive and challenging ce. On show are two basic concepts of ethnicity through the lens of realism / esencialismu and socio-álního design. Constructivist approach to some extent, questioned the appropriateness of this analytical category. Ethnicity may not be universally valid prin-chip, but part of the process of inventing traditions, or the transfer of ethnic nationalism indifferent to the environment, as well as by the forces of political mobilization and formation of groups seeking access to scarce resources. Constructivist approach prevents the perpetuation of ethnicity (reifikaci), which is more or less conscious supporters primordialismu presented as ontologically An indigenous. Field ethnicity is open to new terms such as ethnic cleansing, which explain the war conflicts while ethnicity give fakticity appearance. Constructivist approach defines ethnic identity as a specific collective identity, which has practically are in-anchored in the discourse of everyday life while indent-ZI power relations.
