In the paper, we sociologically thematize the phenomena of cultural contact, contact areas and (trans)cultural identity through the prism of metatheoretical positions of social sciences that problematize them in different ways. The frame of reference is a sociological analysis of interrelationships, interconnections as well as conditioning of acculturation, transacculturation and (trans)cultural identity, and their temporal reflection in sociocultural reality. As a kind of social complex, the mentioned cultural triptych has a discursive interpretation tradition which, to some extent, is opposed by posterior interpretations whose starting points are found in modern scientific discourses. Therefore, primarily due to the transparency of the scientific text, we have included in the sublogical framework a theoretical analysis of the main components of the concept from which the indicated processes derive, namely culture. Namely, social synchronicity and potential, and the dialectic unity of these components are the priority goal of acculturation and transacculturation, and later the means by which these processes are realized in a certain sociocultural space, forming new identities. Through the application of the static-dynamic backbone of culture, we had to touch on mega-processes such as modernization, globalization, postmodernization in the sense of the colloquial and linguistic extinction of some of them, and the direction of science towards "theoretical neologism" and "scientific intermezzo" that describe the current state society in totality, and which finds its origins in history, that is, in already existing thought concepts.
