The article is devoted to the problem of organization of a productive dialogue between representatives of different sciences during the comprehensive interdisciplinary research of man in the context of traditional culture. The prerequisites to the given problem statement have been formed during a long-term experience of joint field studies made by the authors in Russia (Adygea, Russian North, Bashkiria, Buryatia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Khakassia, Yakutia and other regions) and Mexico, as well as through the analysis of relevant results of academic and research work. As a solution of the given task, the authors develop the methodological construction “metaposition” that allows to approach to complexity and interdisciplinarity of research through the principle of dialogue in the common sociocultural field. Metaposition as a technology of organization of polyprofessional cooperation of different experts in a common research space is aimed at development of scientists’ skills of fixation, systematization and representation of the results of their work taking into account positions of their colleagues from other subject areas. Realization of this technology leads to creation of a metalanguage and to widening of researcher’s scientific culture (theoretical frames of each expert, style of their scientific reasoning and personal qualities). The development of metaposition as a stable system of cooperation between different positions of researchers suggests three interrelated stages: defining the research’s common field; revealing the borders of scientific positions; constructing the interpositional dialogue. Opportunities of application of the methodological construction “metaposition” at different stages of field research (before the field, at the field, after the field, during analysis of the field data) are concretized through a relevant algorithm and supported by examples from the field practice.
