  • Constructive and Colouristic Peculiarities of the National Costume: the Phenomenon of the Kazakh Material Culture
    Man In India, 97 (6) : 37-45 © Serials Publications CONSTRUCTIVE AND COLOURISTIC PECULIARITIES OF THE NATIONAL COSTUME: THE PHENOMENON OF THE KAZAKH MATERIAL CULTURE Sabyrkul Zhaylaubekovna Assanova*, Tamara Mikhaylovna Stepanskaya**, Ainur Esmukhambetovna Assanova*, Balnur Esmukhambetovna Assanova*** and Yelzhan Bulatovich Kushekbayev*** Abstract: With the help of the archetypal approach the authors of the article examine constructive peculiarities and colour palettes of the national Kazakh costume. They prove that the development of the traditional dress and decorative and applied arts goes through the following historical stages: an everyday item – a museum piece – the style of life (fashion) – the object to be transformed into modern design. The article is mainly concerned with the recreation of artistic values in new historical environment which is also the reproduction of a certain ethnic and cultural identity in modern days. In this respect, the Kazakh national costume is analysed as a piece of traditional art that is implemented in modern culture due to specific stylistic, expressive and constructive methods. This methodology calls for thorough knowledge of the Kazakh history, the development of the national costume, its construction and colour palette, the study of ancient technologies and the introduction of new ones which can enrich projective and constructive methods as they inherit cultural and historical experience. As a result, the authors conclude that the Kazakh national costume is a system of spiritual, aesthetic and
