Abstract

The Article deals with the issue of revealing the identity defining
markers in the Georgian narrative sources of the middle centuries
(“The Life of Georgians” and hagiographic works). Main characteristics,
considered to be important according to the Georgian
historical material from the points of view of determining “us”
group belonging and identifying distinctness of one ethnicity from
the other ones, have been highlighted. The point of view stating
that the identified markers are in compliance with the attributive
and interactive paradigms of ethnicity, has been expressed.
