Transmission of Traditional Cultural Elements and Case Study of Crimean Tatar Identity Problems
Journal Title: Українознавство - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 68
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of study of the main forms of transmission and adoption of the Crimean Tatar traditional culture by next generations. As the methodological framework, the author has chosen the concept of N. Havryliuk, who proposed to use ethnolinguistic analysis for the study of the processes of ethnic transmission. In the study of transfer of the collective memory, the method of allocating verbal dominants, which determine the peculiarities and nature of cultural transmission, is used. The article is based on the field research conducted in 2010–2011 in Crimea. In the twentieth century, Crimean Tatars underwent forced deportation and repressions on ethnic grounds. These traumatic events affected the mechanisms of the cultural transmission. Some elements of ethnic traditions were forgotten, while others, on the contrary, were actualized and played an important role in the process of group consolidation. On the basis of narrative analysis, several dominant motifs of transmitting elements of traditional culture were singled out. From the analysis of narrative material it is clear that the traditional forms of inheritance of ethnic memory by the vertical transmission from the older generation to the younger are common among Crimean Tatars and ritualized in daily practices. Also, there are translational mechanisms typical of the communities in post-industrial era, when part of the fragmentary information is forgotten, and the rest is deliberately resuscitated and restored. The motif of revival and restoration of memory deserves special attention. Actualization of ethnic traditions is an important factor in the process of shaping group identity.
