	Lev Gumilev. Ethnogenesis and the Biosphere. Chapter 5
		The scheme of ethnogenesis as a discrete process, described above, presupposes the sudden rise within some region of a group of ethnoi with drive and then their spread beyond it, loss of the complexity of the ethnic system, and either disposal of the individuals composing it or their conversion into relicts.
		Having characterized the various phases of an ethnos' ethnogenesis in that respect, we get data for plotting a curve of the tension of drive with an admissible approximation; and when there are several such calculations for different ethnoi, and better still, superethnoi, we get a general pattern of ethnogenesis.
		However great the role of people with drive in ethnogenesis, their number in an ethnos is always infinitesimal, for I call people with drive, in the full sense of the word, those in whom this impulse is stronger than the instinct of self-preservation, both individual and species.

	Ethnogenesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethnogenesis is the process by which a group of human beings comes to be understood or to understand themselves as ethnically distinct from the wider social landscape from which their grouping emerges.
		Ethnogenesis can occur passively, in the accumulation of markers of group identity forged through interaction with the physical environment, cultural and religious divisions between sections of a society, migrations and other processes, for which ethnic subdivision is an unintended outcome.
		Ethnogenesis in these circumstances typically results in an identity which is less value-laden than one forged in contradistinction to competing populations.

		The theme was ethnogenesis, a process of distinctive identity formation that cross-cultural frontiers often generate or politicize.
		Ethnogenesis, the formation of new ethnic identities, often occurs in such a case.
		It argues that the ethnogenesis and ethnohistory of the group should be considered in comparative perspective and within the models of "neoteric" and "cenogenic" societies proposed by Nancy L. Solien González and Kenneth M. Bilby.

	The Consortium on Race, Gender & Ethnicity Admin: Entry Page
		Kibria is careful to specify the generation, class, and ethnicity of her participants (yet gender is hardly mentioned) in a way that highlights global and local processes of hegemony.
		Kibria concludes that the process of ethnogenesis is driven by racial labeling; however, the effects of such racial assignment on identify formation depends upon the ways individuals interpret the experience of racial labeling.
		The implication of this research is advocacy for pan-Asian ethnogenesis as opposed to assimilation into mainstream society as the predominant form of incorporation into U.S. society.

		Gumilev describes ethnogenesis as the process of birth, growth, maturity, and death of ethnoi.
		He views ethnogenesis as driven by passion, which is the human energy or vigor that stimulates the members of an ethnoi to commit themselves to activities that advance the process of ethnogenesis.
		The life cycle of systems, as represented by the process of ethnogenesis and the cycle of adaptive renewal, is broadly applicable to many types of systems and the components of systems.

	The Heroic Age: Redundant Ethnogenesis in Beowulf
		Abstract: One of the Beowulf poet's purposes is to inspire a sense of common identity in an ethnically complex audience by reimagining relations between various hero-peoples of a traditional past with whom members of that audience might have identified.
		It proved superfluous to the task of national consciousness-building which was already being accomplished on a biblical model of moral ethnicity adumbrated in the poem itself.
		The poetic ethnogenesis attempted in Beowulf failed to command serious and sustained respect not because it was explicitly rejected, nor even because it was rendered obsolete by subsequent political developments, like the Norman Conquest (pace, most recently, John Hill 2000: 142).

		The essays in this groundbreaking volume document this cultural activity—this ethnogenesis—within and against the broader contexts of domination; the authors simultaneously encompass the entanglements of local communities in the webs of national and global power relations as well as people's unique abilities to gain control over their history and identity.
		By defining ethnogenesis as the synthesis of people's cultural and political struggles, History, Power, and Identity breaks out of the implicit contrast between isolated local cultures and dynamic global history.

	Soviet Cultural Theory
		A particularly important ethnic process, the origin of new ethnic groups, quickly became a common focus of research, and various theories of "ethnogenesis" were promulgated.
		The conjunction of a language community and contiguous territory was a key factor in defining an ethnos, and ethnogenesis was usually understood as the result of some sort of assimilation of distinct groups or the divergence of a previously homoge neous group.
		Studies of ethnogenesis and other ethnic processes often consisted of statistical examinations of mixed marriages in a given republic (cf.

		At the centre of that approach is the notion of ethnogenesis.
		As it is employed in the present volume, ethnogenesis refers to the coming together of heterogeneous people into a single tribal group which shares a belief in a common descent.
		The notion of ethnogenesis is thus the intellectual framework on which W.'s stretches his narrative, though the reader is never given an introduction to the theory as a whole.

		When ethnogenesis, sometimes called “transculturation” (Ortiz 1995) or creolization (Deagan 1998:35), occurs, the outcome is shaped by a variety of factors, ranging from the relative power of the groups in contact, their technologies, the environment, gender, and prior notions of ethnicity.
		Not only was central Indiana a borderlands during the Late Prehistoric, but the Late Prehistoric period itself was an era of considerable instability, with evidence of territorial abandonment, large population dispersals, and violent conflict throughout the midcontinent.
		In such a turbulent period, the emergence of the Oliver phase peoples from the interaction of several groups in a frontier zone such as Strawtown is an ideal test case to follow the processes of an ethnogenesis and to examine the variables that shaped its outcome.

		The ethnogenesis of the Illyrians remains a problem for prehistorians, however the consensus is that the ethnic ancestors of the Illyrians, the Proto-Illyrians, branched off from the main Proto-Indo-European trunk before the Iron Age.
		Current theories of Illyrian origin are based on ancient remnants of material culture found in the area, but archaeological remains alone have so far proven insufficient for a definite answer to the question of the Illyrian ethnogenesis.
		In contrast to an ethnogenesis in the Balkans, another (older) school of scholars maintains the theory of an Illyrian invasion, which involves a great movement of Illyrian tribes from the lowlands of central Europe (modern Hungary), towards South Eastern Europe and the Balkan peninsula.

		417) observes, “the study of ethnicity, identity and ethnogenesis is one potentially unifying agenda for a holistic anthropology.” We concur with this view and believe that analogously, an examination of ethnicity, identity, and ethnogenesis may serve as a unifying perspective for consumer behavior theory.

	ABSTRACT
		By working largely unaware of the huge literature in anthropology and certain other social sciences on ethnogenesis, Western cultural/historical and ethnic geographers remain aside from the mainstream in this inquiry and in fact do not address the topic as often as one might expect.
		We further marginalize our work on ethnogenesis by ignoring completely the work of the Russian Leo Gumilev, a fellow geographer who devoted his career to the study of this subject.
		This neglect of the works of anthropologists and Gumilev leads Western geographers to deal with ethnogenesis infrequently and somewhat naively.

		Naturally care must be taken that does not imply that there is an actual identity between groups that lived in different times and places.
		At the same time, continuities in the region, in patterns of ethnogenesis, technology, economics, and in material culture can yield a productive advance in analysis.
		This paper will present such evidence and try to shed light on some of the issues of ethnogenesis in the Nile Valley.

		The task here is to study how such groups have appeared, reconfigured, and disappeared through diverse historical circumstances.
		Which processes have fostered ethnogenesis or have contributed to ethnic “erasure” in different cultural, economic and political settings?
		Recent historiography has emphasized subjective elements of ethnic or racial identity formation: the group in question must embrace common meanings and norms and practices -- distinct from those of competing or ruling groups – in order to constitute itself into an identifiable ethnic or racial group.
