Religioon kui etnilise identiteedi sümbol sahha (jakuudi) muusikas
Abstract
Religion as the Symbol of Ethnicity in the Sakha (Yakut) Music In this paper I discuss the meaning of the religion in modern rock music of the Republic of Sakha, Eastern Siberia, Russian Federation. Shamanism is the traditional religion of the Sakha people. In modern rock music, shamanism is a symbol and manifestation of being Sakha. Shamanism is viewed by artists as a complex of symbols and beliefs that embodies Sakha culture. People treat shamanism with great respect. During building their career and joining with the rock music community, Sakha artists become believers in shamanism. "This means that they do not cross the line when using elements of shamanism in their music becomes practicing shamanism. Rock musicians distinguish themselves from commercial music, believing that they carry on Sakha culture and tradition. Their identity is very much built on this notion of the conflict with the commercial music. I show how the conscious manifestation of the Sakha identity by using shamanistic elements in the music is transmitted from one rock musician generation to another. New rock musicians are adopted within the network of reciprocity and solidarity, at the same time they take over cultural ideology of the rock community.
