ポスト・ソビエト時代の死者供養 ―― カザフスタン北部農村における犠牲祭の事例を中心に ――
Kazakh Memorial Services in the Post-Soviet Period: A Case Study of the Feast of Sacrifice in a Northern Kazakhstan Village

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to examine how Kazakhs in a northern Kazakhstan village have revitalized memorial services in the post-Soviet period. Although death is a biological phenomenon, it is accompanied by culturally and socially diverse practices such as funeral and memorial services, which often show dynamism with regard to societal changes. It is noted that religious practices often play an important role in the post-Soviet cultural revitalization. In Kazakhstan, memorial services for the deceased have become one of the focal points of this revitalization.
