Yatsyna O. Postmodernist transformations of social and psychological practices of marriage and family partnership and paternity

The present research presents a concept of postmodern transformations of sociopsychological practices of marriage and family partnership and parenthood, which reveals the correlation of the contents of socio-psychological predictors: culturallyconditioned, individual-personal, emotionally sensitive, the mechanisms of constructing practices: intersubjective sedimentation, subjective reflection, personal interpretation and semiotization of sexuality, as well as the process of self-referencing of identity. It has been demonstrated that under the conditions of post-modern sociality the principles of constructing the practices and identity are changing essentially. It has been shown that multiple combinations of subjective components of practice and identity models form rizomorphic configurations of partnership and parenthood practices, in which identity is self-determined and self-fulfilling. A conclusion has been made that the concept of "partnership" most accurately describes and means the nature of changes in the practices of marriage and family partnership and paternity. The social effect of postmodern transformations of marriagefamily partnership and parenthood practices has been determined; their essence is revealed in the transition of the institutional foundation of the family and the diversification of social reality.
