	Social protest – the structure of a gathering

	The theoreticians of social sciences admit that social protests belong only to the modern epoch and the very moment of its birth is strictly connected with the modernistic democracy and current European culture. Public social activity – especially social protests understood here only as legal public gatherings its structures, meanings and configurations – are possible to separate out of all the accidental factors. But the modern political tradition itself is not enough to explain the inner mechanisms of this kind of public gatherings as a tool for the social, cultural and political transformation. The ahistorical type of analysis seems to be necessary to understand social protests. The plot of structural analysis is supplemented here with some comments on the cognitive and ritual side of the social protest process and also with some philosophical comments.
	Key words: social protest, the deep structures of mind, self-reference, modernism, structural patterns
