Abstract:

The article presents certain aspects of the modern Buryat ethnicity formation. It concentrates on the conscious and intentional activities on the part of ethnic intellectual elites. In the modern world the conditions and opportunities for intergenerational cultural transmission are fundamentally changing. The transmission of culture cannot be limited to traditionally important means – family life or school education. The author finds that ethno-festivals play a prominent role as significant factor in the self-presentation, in ethnic mobilization, in developing aspiration to gain the position of accepted ethnos. Through theatrical productions Buryat elites show “the ownership” of ethnic territory. Struggling to claim its rights, ethnic group has to present its specific cultural pattern – reconstruct or construct new ideology from the selected pieces of knowledge furnished by scholars. The author analyses Buryat ethno-festivals: Altargana and Night of Yokhor. The research material used in this article was collected during subsequent field trips in 2012 and 2013
