Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of the processes in which the technologies of constructing social reality occur with the help of socio-constructionist (including discursive) practices. Discursive practices, primarily concepts, are used to create social constructions. Concepts can acquire the character of ideological structures, including for convincing numerous groups of the population of the correctness of any ideas. One of the most famous examples of discursive practices and other social constructionist techniques in the 20th century was the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research (known as the Frankfurt School).
