Book Synopsis Myth and Mentality by : Anna-Leena Siikala
Download or read book Myth and Mentality written by Anna-Leena Siikala and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent fascination in Finnish folklore studies with popular thought and the values and emotions encoded in oral tradition began with the realisation that the vast collections of the Finnish folklore archives still have much to offer the modern-day researcher. These archive materials were not only collected by scholars, but also by the ordinary rural populace interested in their own traditions, by performers and their audiences. With its myriad voices, this body of source material thus provides new avenues for the researcher seeking to penetrate popular thought. What does oral tradition tell us about the way its performers think and feel? What sorts of beliefs and ideas are transmitted in traditional songs and narratives? Perspectives from the study of mentalities and cultural cognition research provide a framework for investigating these issues. This collection of articles works from the premise that the cultural models which shape mentalities give rise to manifest expressions of culture, including folklore. These models also become embedded in the representations appearing in folklore, and are handed down from one generation to the next. The topics of the book cover age-old myths and world views, concepts of witchcraft and the Devil stretching back to the Middle Ages, and the values and collective emotions of Finnish and Hungarian agrarian communities.
Download or read book Mythic Discourses written by Frog and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mythic discourses in the present day show how vernacular heritage continues to function and be valuable through emergent interpretations and revaluations. At the same time, continuities in mythic images, motifs, myths and genres reveal the longue durée of mythologies and their transformations. The eighteen articles of Mythic Discourses address the many facets of myth in Uralic cultures, from the Finnish and Karelian world-creation to Nenets shamans, offering multidisciplinary perspectives from twenty eastern and western scholars. The mythologies of Uralic peoples differ so considerably that mythology is approached here in a broad sense, including myths proper, religious beliefs and associated rituals. Traditions are addressed individually, typologically, and in historical perspective. The range and breadth of the articles, presenting diverse living mythologies, their histories and relationships to traditions of other cultures such as Germanic and Slavic, all come together to offer a far richer and more developed perspective on Uralic traditions than any one article could do alone.

Book Synopsis Mari und Mordwinen im heutigen Russland by : Ulrike Kahrs
Download or read book Mari und Mordwinen im heutigen Russland written by Ulrike Kahrs and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im immer noch polyethnischen und mehrsprachigen Russland stellen die Siedlungsgebiete der beiden finnisch-ugrischen Volker Mari (Tscheremissen) und Mordwinen, die haufig zusammen als Wolgafinnen bezeichnet werden, keine ferne Peripherie dar: Ihre Titularrepubliken befinden sich genau im geographischen Zentrum des europaischen Teils der Russischen Foderation, und sie unterscheiden sich - was die Natur oder die wirtschaftliche Situation betrifft - kaum von den Nachbargebieten mit fast ausschliesslich russischer Bevolkerung.Ist durch diese Lage die Nivellierung der sprachlichen und kulturellen Unterschiede unvermeidlich pradestiniert, oder ist die ethnische Tradition stark genug, um dem Druck der Russifizierung und der Globalisierung auch langfristig zu widerstehen?Die Herausgeber und die Autoren des Bandes (von denen die Halfte aus den Republiken Marij El und Mordwinien stammt) sind sich darin einig, dass der Wert der ethnischen Sprach- und Kulturtradition unbedingt anerkannt werden muss, und dass die Wolgafinnen sich gegenwartig in einer neuen und entscheidenden Phase ihrer Identitatsbildung befinden. Die Beitrage zeigen die widerspruchliche Dynamik der Verluste und der Revitalisierungsprozesse, des Schutzes der alten Heiligtumer und der Suche nach neuen Formen auf.
Book Synopsis Cultural and Linguistic Minorities in the Russian Federation and the European Union by : Heiko F. Marten
Download or read book Cultural and Linguistic Minorities in the Russian Federation and the European Union written by Heiko F. Marten and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive volume to compare the sociolinguistic situations of minorities in Russia and in Western Europe. As such, it provides insight into language policies, the ethnolinguistic vitality and the struggle for reversal of language shift, language revitalization and empowerment of minorities in Russia and the European Union. The volume shows that, even though largely unknown to a broader English-reading audience, the linguistic composition of Russia is by no means less diverse than multilingualism in the EU. It is therefore a valuable introduction into the historical backgrounds and current linguistic, social and legal affairs with regard to Russia’s manifold ethnic and linguistic minorities, mirrored on the discussion of recent issues in a number of well-known Western European minority situations.
