Revival Of Traditional Culture Research Articles

The revival of traditional culture as an element of the national security policy of the Central Asian countries in the 1991-2010's.

The subject of the study is the formation of one of the ideological components of national security policy in the countries of the Central Asian region (CAR) - the concept of preserving historical, cultural and religious traditions as the basis of social stability and security. The authors focus on the process of incorporating this concept into the theory and practice of ensuring the national security of the CAR countries at different historical stages of their development after 1991. The objects of the research are scientific theories and legal acts reflecting the relationship between culture and security in the Central Asian states, official statements and writings of the first President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and other political leaders of Central Asia. The article touches upon the problems of countering radical religious movements and other ideological influences from outside by the CAR states, and shows the controversial nature of the measures taken in this area by the authorities of Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. Methodologically, the research is based on a civilizational approach to understanding the historical process, as well as on the idea of the influence of geopolitical trends on the internal life of countries and peoples of the modern world, including the Central Asian region. The work is based on the principles of historicism and consistency, using chronological, synchronous, dichronous, comparative and other methods of historical research. The novelty of the study lies in the generalization of data revealing the role of traditional values in the security systems of the CAR countries. The results of the work include a set of facts and theoretical provisions on the evolution of the security ideology of the CAR countries and can be used in scientific projects in the field of universal history and political science. The authors conclude that the revival of traditional culture and the local version of Islam (Hanafism) in the 1991-2010's were consistently considered by the leaders of the CAR countries as one of the most important factors in strengthening the state, its independence and international authority. This line was carried out most fully and consistently in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which was reflected in the development programs, legislation, scientific and journalistic literature of these countries. There is a tendency in Kazakhstan to integrate cultural policy based on traditional civilizational values with national security policy.

Research on the Protection and Revitalization of Traditional Fujian Rattan Weaving Utensils from the Perspective of Folk Culture

Traditional folk utensils carry the profound folk customs and regional cultural characteristics of an area or even a nation, representing a materialized heritage formed through the long-term living and laboring of the people. In recent years, with the revival of traditional culture in China and the rise of folk activities in various regions, these traditional folk utensils have once again been presented with new opportunities for development. As traditional tools for living and production in the Minnan region of Fujian Province, China, rattan weaving utensils are revered for their populist, artistic, and practical qualities. This paper will take the "Minnan rattan weaving utensils" as the research subject, combining regional ecological conditions, the process of rattan weaving, and characteristic rattan products, to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the material selection, functional design, and structural layout of the utensils, in order to explore the underlying design concepts. At the same time, using research methods such as functional analysis and field investigation, a detailed study and analysis of the "transformation and activation mechanisms" of "Minnan rattan weaving utensils" in the context of the new era will be conducted. Through this series of work, the aim is to reveal the development trajectory and innovative path of Minnan rattan weaving utensils in modern society.

걸프지역 네트워킹 공간에 대한 연구

Majlis is a social space where men in the Gulf region regularly gather in a specific place to socialize. People tend to reveal their cultural awareness and traditional values through the way they use space, as space is a tangible expression of an intangible culture. The case of diwaniya in Kuwait, where the socialization culture is mostly active, was used in this study to analyze the history and origin of the space of majlis, its social functions, role, and evolution over time. What distinguishes Kuwaiti diwaniya from other Gulf countries is as follows: first, it is a private and safe space from government intervention and surveillance, and therefore, a space where political activities occur. Second, Kuwaiti diwaniya is not a revival of traditional culture in the modern era; it functions as an organic space, and therefore, it evolves and transforms according to the social context. Based on a review of extant literature, this study traced the evolution process of diwaniya and its unique characteristics from the period prior to the formation of the state of Kuwait to the current era of modernization and digitalization.

МЕХАНИЗМЫ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ДЕСТРУКТИВНОЙ РЕАЛЬНОСТИ: СОЦИАЛЬНО-КОГНИТИВНЫЙ АСПЕКТ

Objective of the study is to identify the mechanisms of formation of modern destructive reality from the point of view of the socio-cognitive aspect. The methodological basis of the research. The authors consider the issue of transformation of forms and means of communication in the modern world and, as a consequence, the change of techniques of manipulation of consciousness and the formation of an actual political and cultural agenda. The methodology is based on a systematic approach based on the ideas and theoretical developments of the largest scientists of the modern period. Research results. The article shows the crisis moments of perception and transmission of information using the example of generation Z. The characteristic features of modern digital communication developed during the period of decreasing interpersonal interaction are presented: distancing, semantic uncertainty and phantomness. The availability of information and its excess lead to a lack of motivation for critical thinking of representatives of the information society generation, superficial perception, as well as a decrease in the overall level of culture and education. Prospects of the study. There is a need for spiritual and moral vaccination of public consciousness from the standpoint of traditional cultural values rooted in the Russian cultural core. Russian russians need to rethink the experience of thirty years of calculating individualism, pragmatism and atomism of Western civilization through the revival of traditional culture, inherent in the Russian people as a support, which through the mass media deforms and destroys the cultural core of Russian civilization, broadcasting what a consumer should strive for, what standards must be met (success, wealth, beauty). while completely ignoring the spiritual component.

Formation of the Historical Memory of the Bulgarian Minority of Ukraine (1991 – 2020): Actors, Narratives and Commemoration

Nearly three centuries have passed since Bulgarian migrants appeared on the territory of contemporary Ukraine. They had to leave their historic homeland due to the strengthening of control of the Ottoman administration over all spheres of life of Bulgarians in the metropolis, as well as the intensification of the Russian-Turkish military confrontation, which drastically affected the economic, social, and cultural situation of the Bulgarian population. The Bulgarians, settled down on the Ukrainian lands, became an integral part of the multi-ethnic Ukrainian society, though fell victim to the assimilation policy of the Soviet period. Bulgarians are undergoing a period of national and cultural revival in the independent Ukraine, which is intimately linked to the process of recovering the historical memory of Ukrainian Bulgarians, restoring the pantheon of national heroes, memorable dates, and revival of traditional culture. In this connection, the researches dedicated to the analysis of the process of formation of the historical memory of the Bulgarian community in modern Ukraine are of particular relevance. The authors emphasize the difference between the two main groups of the Bulgarian community on the territory of Ukraine – Bessarabian and Azov (Taurida) Bulgarians, which is reflected in a reassessment of the role of the migration of ancestors of modern Ukrainian Bulgarians from the metropolis as well as in a monopolization of objects of national and cultural heritage by certain organizations, etc.

Image of Chisinau and its evolution in touristic albums and guides (1964–2008)

The city image presents an important part of urban research, because representations about the city basically underlie urban identities and are connected with its symbolic capital and attractiveness for the residents. Our earlier research of urban identity in Chisinau included images of the city it was based on and showed their inconsistency. Considering that images represent cognitive and emotional matrixes of the historic period of their formation, congruent with the existing social construct, it is important to trace dynamics of formation and contents of the Chisinau images, which are being formed as the public/brand ones in the touristic albums and guides of the Soviet period, as well as in the years of independence of the Republic of Moldova. For this purpose, we selected several sources from the both periods and carried out their comparison according to the identified categories. The results of the analysis proved the existing correlation between the city image from the albums and the main notional trends of the time of their creation. We can trace evolution of creation of the “new” city concept in the Soviet period and flourishing of this idea in 1980s. During the independence period the city image reflects some obvious ideas of identity search, revision of history, a European city, revival of traditional culture as one of the key components of national identity, which will define the appearance of the city as well. It is challenging to continue the research on additional sources from the last 5–10 years.

Ashkenazi jews in Azerbaijan: on some problems of ethnic identity in a foreign ethnic environment

The article established that the formation and becoming of the ethnic identity of the ashkenazi jews of Azerbaijan is influenced by a number of traditional factors, in particular, family, upbringing and cultural traditions. In particular, the special role of traditions in the formation of ethnic identity among jews is associated with the essential role of judaism in this process. The article also notes that one of the most important elements of ethnic culture and the sustainability of ethnic identity is the mother tongue. The mother tongue of ashkenazi jews is yiddish. It is established that at present the functional significance of yiddish has significantly decreased. The almost complete oblivion of yiddish and the transition of the vast majority of ashkenazi jews of Azerbaijan to the russian language created favorable conditions for the transition of this community to hebrew. In addition to the desire to revive historical memory, the revival of traditional culture and religion, the strengthening of the dominant position of hebrew among ashkenazi jews was also associated with an increase in migration sentiments, the desire of many of them to leave for their historical homeland in Israel. The desire to study hebrew, characteristic of many ashkenazi in Azerbaijan, especially middle and young age, does not mean that this language has become functionally significant for intra-community and everyday communication. For these purposes, the russian language continues to be widely used. For example, while an older generation of ashkenazi jews owned yiddish, the middle generation speaks mainly russian, and the relatively young generation already speaks three languages – azerbaijani, russian and hebrew. In the article, summing up some results of the study of ethnic identity among ashkenazi jews of Azerbaijan, it is stated that, despite the unspoken, and sometimes vowed anti-semitism of the rulers of tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, ashkenazi jews of Azerbaijan have largely preserved their ethnic identity, traditional holidays and rituals. Moreover, the activity of various jewish schools in Azerbaijan, the education of jewish children in hebrew determines the stability of ethnic identity among various age groups of the jewish population. The stability of the ethnic identity of ashkenazi jews in Azerbaijan is also influenced by such traditional factors as family, upbringing and cultural traditions. It is likely that this is due to the fact that for most jews, following the customs and traditions in everyday life is an important element of the national mentality. Moreover, judaism plays a major role in maintaining ethnic identity among ashkenazi jews.

Voiceless Woman

This article argues that present (Italian) feminism has been translating its practical principles into a cultural and theoretical phenomenon. Drawing on her own genealogical achievement of freedom, the author discusses the main issues concerning present feminism – ranging from the intergenerational shift, feminist production and the control of its texts and practices – in order to construct her own understanding and doing feminism. Against a feminine feminist revival of traditional culture, the article focuses on creative and humanitarian agency. After having discussed the relationships between second-wave and present feminism, the contradictions and misunderstanding of feminist ideas, the relevance of a rhizomatic assimilation of feminism by both feminists and not feminists, the article examines the dynamics that have led to a present static separatism, and proposes, as a line of flight, international feminist humanitarianism. It also suggests a way of rethinking a possible materialization of feminism into (feminist) women activists and lay missionaries.

Creole Society and the Revival of Traditional Culture in Cape Coast during the Colonial Period

During the nineteenth century a number of small Westernized societies developed along the coast of West Africa that were to provide the nucleus around which many of the colonial possessions of this area took form.1 Such societies shared many of the creole characteristics of their better-known Sierra Leonian and Senegalese counterparts, but as the example of Cape Coast indicates, they experienced their own particular historical development.2 The first phase of this town's colonial history was that of partial creolization which reached its apogee in the late nineteenth century.3 The second phase was a revival of traditional culture and particularly its political institutions which became increasingly important from the 1920s onwards. This second phase of colonial history can also be divided into three interwoven yet distinct stages. The first was primarily intellectual in scope and dominated by the most Westernized segment of the creole community. The second had wider PanAfricanist aspects but was similarly dominated by this elite, while the last consisted of a return to a preoccupation with traditional culture. This generation of cultural nationalists, however, in contrast to their forebearers, participated directly in traditional society, or the native order as it was also called, by seeking chiefly positions themselves.4 In addition, a much wider section
