Угсаатны өвөрмөц байдлыг дахин төсөөлөх нь: Монгол улсын төрийн байгуулалт ба Хотон угсаатны ижилсэл

Abstract

people have chosen to identify themselves with various cultural identities. Based on Mongolian ethnic theories and policies, as well as the geographical location in which they reside, the many identity choices they make during the identification process are examined in terms of race, ethnicity, and community. “Khoton”, as their identity, has developed from being named by the “other” to a self-identified ethnic name and has a variety of cultural attributes. This study argues that the Khotons’ shared historical memory, production activities, and cultural practices are crucial to their identity. The Khotons, as a minority community, are subject to the state system and have taken no hold in their own survival and growth discourse. They are threatened by history and the passage of time, and in order to live and evolve, they must adapt and seek themselves by modifying their relationships with others and the state.
