В мифоритуальных системах алтайских тюрков духов наделяют способностью к эмоциональной реакции в коммуникации с людьми и другими акторами. Духам мёртвых и, в особенности, недавно умершим с большей лёгкостью, чем чем божествам и духам-хозяевам (ээзи), приписывается эмоциональное поведение.
Среди приписываемых эмоций и эмоциональных состояний – тревога, обида, веселье, печаль, как наиболее значимые визуализируются гнев и удовлетворение. Этим в частности определяется проблема их иконографии: визуальное воплощение в основном получают те, кто обладает патронажной, охранительной, карательной функциями.
Вне зависимости от наличия изображений у духов их эмоциональный ответ может считываться двумя основными способами: шаманы как визионеры в своих психических состояниях часто имеют дело с прямым – вербальным ответом, а jарлыкчы (жрецы в бурханизме) и рядовые верующие чаще прочитывают эмоции духов опосредованно – через невербальные сообщения.
Визуализация эмоционального ответа в невербальной семиотике духов кодируется языком различных признаков и состояний: через внешнее изменение онгонов, сакральных предметов, связанных с духами, визуальные трансформации жертвы, огня, текущей воды.
Во многих случаях можно говорить о приписывании эмоций не только духам, но предметам и явлениям, не имеющим способности, в силу отсутствия лица/тела, к их выражению вербально, мимически или через жест.
Таким образом, феномен приписываемых эмоций связан с проблематикой квази-тела и квази-жеста духов, когда «жестикуляция» происходит через деформацию их квази-тела (вещи, огня, источника).

For this purpose, it gives an overview of sources of Altai eschatology, including the main versions (subtradition) of Altai eschatology as well as its oral and folklore genres. It shows that Altai eschatology, especially its Burkhanism version, has not only circular but also axial, linear, or “historical” sense of time. The problem of cultural transfer is revealed through a description of obvious Buddhist Central Asian influences and borrowings in the eschatology and, more broadly, in the mythology of the Altaians. In particular, the Buddhist doctrine of the kalpas is compared with the Altaic notions of eschatological elements of the aiguls. Borrowings from Mongolian and Buddhist eschatology and mythology receive detailed examination. The essay examines the specificity of Altaic eschatological ideas about the fiery disaster and the flood waters emerging at the end of time from under the earth. Finally, the essay explores folklore texts that demonstrate the mythologization of other states and peoples (primarily China and Russia) by Altaians in the folklore motifs of the eschatological war and foreign invasion. Mythological ideas about the last war between eschatological peoples are built on the messianic expectations of the coming Khan and on the memory of the historical upheavals of the past.

Over the years, various actors such as archaeologists, Altai national leaders, culture agents and journalists have contributed to the creation of these texts. The emergence of new texts and the actualization of previous ones are most often caused by yet another catastrophic event, e.g. a helicopter crash, an earthquake or a war in Ukraine, and so, drawing on that, the author uses the term ‘newslore’. The article aims to overview the main stages of the newslore formation linked to the ‘Altai princess’. It looks into the main mythological motifs, ‘narrative wars’ and motivations of actors who construct this mythology. It also describes situations of producing new texts about the ‘princess’ in neo(shamanic) practices, with a number of such texts being introduced to the academia for the first time.

In traditional shamanism, known to us from ethnographic studies of the 19th–20th centuries, a shaman who takes money is punished by the spirits and could die. Despite the traditional taboos, for example, accepting money for their service, shamans take cash payment from their clients anyway. In the present socio-economic situation the shamans have to earn money, and they use several explanatory models that allow them to do so. This paper describes those models. Typically, the money is given to the spirits, and the shaman is only an intermediary, but then he takes the money.
The paper also discusses the importance of money in non-shamanic ritual practices: the semantics of copper and silver money in offerings to local spirits, to the springs and to the menhirs."

Politician? Healer? Shaman? Modern Altaic shamans, Jun 1, 2013

The article addresses transformation of the institute of "knowledgeable people" (shamans, fortunetellers, diviners, healers) in the Soviet and post-Soviet times. The following issues are analyzed: professionalization of modern shamans, their political activities, different approaches to organization of diverse professional specialties of modern "knowledgeable people".
Since late 1980's a peculiar social situation takes place in the Altai society, when being a shaman (kam) is associated with the status and financial benefits. Modern shamans begin to receive not only traditional offerings, but also money.
The present stage of shamanic traditions in the Altai is characterized by increased interest and demand in the activities of shamans, desire of a number of people to become a shaman, or other magical person. In the conditions of almost total unemployment in rural areas, the practice of a shaman or a healer may be perceived as professional development, as getting a job with a steady income.
Traditional social roles and strategies of "knowledgeable people" are transformed into new ones: for example, there are shamans-politicians, shamans-businessmen, shamans-writers and artists, and public figures being a part of the group of "knowledgeable people" who claim the spiritual leadership over the Altai people.
On the one hand, these innovations are logically derivable from the classical period of shamanism (described by ethnographers of the 19th – early 20th centuries). Even in traditional concepts of the Altai shamans, there are "prerequisites" to their current political activities, such as notions of hierarchy and subordination of power in the spirit world.
On the other hand, the Altai religious reformism (Burkhanism) of the early ХХ century, repression and prohibition of shamanism in the Soviet times caused serious transformation of the institute of the "classical shamanism". For example, disappearance of such ritual attributes of "large kames" as shamanic tambourine/drum and robe leads to re-actualization of ritual objects specific to more archaic practices of "rites without tambourine". Re-actualization of these ritual objects in the social aspect of the practice of modern "knowledgeable people" can be interpreted with the metaphor of social neoteny. Neoteny is a biological term used to describe the ability of larval or baby birds to apply scenarios of adults (e.g., to reproduce).
In the post-Soviet times lower kams (kams without drums) in the absence of "senior shamans" begin to behave like large cams, while retaining the attributes and content of the "small" activities.
In modern ritual practice of the indigenous Turkic peoples of the Altai Republic, the same ritual attributes are involved both in neo-shamanic and neo-Burkhanist practices; this means that there are no rigid impermeable boundaries between contemporary religious beliefs and Burkhanist and shamanic practices.
Over the last century the symbolic status of ritual objects of "knowledgeable people" in the Altai has been transformed. During the time before collectivization and repressions of the Soviet era, these objects served as important markers measuring the professional and ritual-spiritual level of shamans. Now those things almost lose their marker function in the activities of a magic specialist. Currently, in contrast to external "criteria of authenticity" of the "knowledgeable people" used in the past, "internal criteria" are becoming increasingly important, for example, personal history created by the shaman him/herself.

On the example of the Altai shamans the author explores the phenomena of social meaning in different periods of the Soviet epoch. In the 1920s, the authorities had a patronizing attitude to shamanism. The Christian mission was closed and shamanism was seen as part of the national culture. In the 1930s, another model of power relations to shamans took over. In Soviet newspapers shamans renounced his craft, most of them victims of repression. In the 1930-1980s the shamanism exists in a secretive manner. It was dangerous to be a shaman. But the descendant of a shaman could not get rid of the "shamanic sickness", and various magic rituals were used to save the child from the shamanic spirits of his ancestors. Thus, in the Soviet era, there were two types of ways to destroy the "shamanic profession": а) a violence of the soviet power; b) a using of traditional rituals.

The paper analyses the various scenarios of interaction between man and the spirits of the ritual, magic and mantic practices in modern shamans and (neo)burkhanists. View traditional typology of "knowledgeable people", examines the value of visual markers in narratives. Key visual markers and techniques are common for the different actual visionary practices. For example, a visionary experience in the Altai Protestantism (community Pentecostalism) is largely based on traditional shamanistic beliefs about spirits and communicate with them. In the early twentieth century, the demarcation of religious practices (shamanism, Burkhanism, Buddhism, Christianity) was performed through visual markers now demarcation occurs most often through different interpretations of common images.
The article also discusses how the shamans themselves and other “knowledgeable people” to explain their ability to see and visualise spirits.""

The article analyzes the memories of non-Jews about Jews in a workers’ settlement of the past. Solntsevo was never considered a “Jewish place”, there was no synagogue, Jewish families were not involved in the national culture, they were Soviet, secular people, but Solntsevo has its own “Jewish text”. First of all these are stories about local shops, whose managers were Jews, stories about the «Invalid Village», as well as memories of Jewish teachers and deputies who did a lot of good deeds for Solntsevo. Narratives about the “Jewish shops” of old Solntsevo are considered as a result of the transformation of old stereotypical and folklorized ideas about a Jewish merchant in Soviet times. In the article, I presented observations of how the “Jewish text” is changing in the historical perspective from prewar to post-war time. The post-war “Jewish text” on trade in the old Solntsevo is poor: out of 18 subject-motive groups allocated for the “Jewish text” on trade in the pre-war Latgale, only seven exist in Solntsevo. Memories of Jewish trade exist, but the loci of this trade (shops) lose their “Jewishness”.

This article can be divided into two main parts. Firstly, the history of the protest movement in Karakol valley in the Altai is briefly described. Then, dwelling on field material (informants’ live interviews), I provide an analysis of various forms of weapons of the weak, or hidden transcripts (in terms of J.

Taking picture of a demon: on the crossroads of mythology and technology in the modern world

China.
In the epoch of positivism it was apparent that the primitive cultures are opposed to the industrial societies, and introduction of technical novelties leads only to the degradation of the naive life of savages. This was stated more than 100 years ago about the use of a photocamera in the bush. The naive superstitions will come out through one door when electricity would come in to the other! – enthusiastically claimed an ethnographer in the early 1920s in Tajikistan.
Now, when cameras, radio and phones are used almost everywhere, it is the greatest temptation for scholars to check how they influence, if they do, on the local beliefs and myths. In order to reach that aim, let us investigate any possible connections between supernatural creatures (demons, local spirits, deities) and process of taking pictures (by camera) in Asian, Pamir and Northern Chinese regions.
As a result which was found is that pictures became a part of important rituals in folk medicine: a portrait of patient cures him, because the demon of illness moves to the picture from the sick person. But sceptics can argue that here the photograph is only a convenient substitute of old traditional symbolical image (made from wood, for example) used in such rituals. In other cases, the function of photograph is completely new, and new customs emerge as a result of the technical possibility of the camera to make instant pictures. For example, a Mongolian ethnic group was divided in two parts along the border between Mongolia and China, and their worshipping rituals were ruined because the Mongolian part of the tribe could not see and worship the mountain (which remained in the Chinese part) with de ities. However, the possibility to make instant pictures resumed the link between local spirits and their people.

The 'Soft Iconoclasm' in Vernacular Orthodoxy of Volga Finns, 2018

'Soft iconoclasm' among the Mari developed on their local pre-Christian practices, but it typologically converges with the Christianization of the Mari and could be found in similar practices in other Christian peoples. In the case of Mari people, who have well preserved their pre-Christian beliefs, these practices are more determined by communication with the sacred image as with the living impersonator. Some current practices of venerating icons are based on the pre-Christian prayer formulas, ritual poses and ideas of communication with gods. Two principal versions of 'soft iconoclasm' are considered in the article: 1. violence upon the icon: moving or stealing the icon against its will; 2. abandoning icons and leaving them for self-destruction or to 'die' .

All classical non-relativistic anthropology rested on the idea of commensurability, while the incommensurability as a problem did not even exist there: “savage” and “civilized” cultures were assumed by default to be commensurable. For convenience, I will refer to such positivistic “commensurability by default”, which is before or outside relativistic and interpretive anthropology, as “commensurability-1”. However, there is another – the hermeneutic – understanding of commensurability, developing in the “postrelativistic era” of anthropology; I will call it “commensurability-2”. This is a more reflexive and critical form, which assumes that understanding comes not through an exact knowledge or translation of a representative of an alien culture, but rather as an intermittent process of a continuing “long talk” that changes the interlocutors. This “long conversation” can be investigated, for example, as a sequence of communicative situations. The question of commensurability in interpretive anthropology and interpretative sociology involves the study of epistemically obscure, “muddy” communication situations between representatives of different cultures. These are situations in which uncertainty, ambiguity, anomaly, illusions and errors in understanding are considered epistemically constructive, rather than negative, phenomena (from the positivist viewpoint). Such situations can be depicted through the concept of epistemic murk (Michael Taussig), that characterizes a state of anthropologists on the road to biculturalism, entering into the alien culture. Domestication, in all likelihood, can be considered as a mechanism for achieving biculturalism

In traditional shamanism, known to us from ethnographic studies of 19–20 centuries, the shaman who takes money is punished by the spirits and could die. Despite the traditional taboos, for example, against accepting money for their service, shamans take cash payments from their clients anyway. In the present socio-economic situation the shamans have to earn money, and they can use several explanatory models that allow them to do so. The current paper describes those models. Typically, the money is given to the spirits, and the shaman is only an intermediate, but then he takes the money.
The paper also discusses the importance of money in non-shamanic ritual practices: the semantics of copper and silver money in offerings to the local spirits, to the springs and to the menhirs.
