Sport competitive culture is the only part of the general agonistics, which includes various other kinds of competitions: poetic, musical etc., and Kazakh controversial culture is a part of the universal human culture. The questions of sports culture and philosophy, especially its agonistic context, seem to be the most complex, interesting and relevant. However, deep theoretical development is required to understand the essence of agon in the world and national sports culture, as one of the most socially demanded and the most developed variety of culture.

GTh eir origin dates back to ancient times and in their development they underwent a number of successive forms, corresponded to the public relations and business activity of the people. Th ere is an indisputable theory that the games and entertainments have originated from labor processes, i.e.: from practical activity of the people.1 Often in popular entertainments such special phenomena are refl ected as sports, military skills, cultic performances, magic actions, recreating “real life, sometimes existing, sometimes past, and preserved only in some kind of remnants (game-action or game-song).”2 In this way, they cover many aspects of labor, spiritual and household activity. Th is was facilitated, to a large extent, by the fact that many of these customs originated in the nomadic environment, and “by their subject, accessories, time and place of action, by all its systems they refl ect the features of world-view and material culture of nomads-farmers.”3 Over time, with the change of the society material life, the direct form and content of the games have changed. Games and entertainment are always served the public duties as well; these are educational, military, sport, ritual, entertaining and aesthetic, 1 N.I.

  • 1 /Tg/ On… Stuff
    1 /tg/ on… Stuff (2nd edition) Wherein it is demonstrated that /tg/ is scholars. The elegan/tg/ents have proven themselves capable of talking about just about anything, mostly because they are a hive mind powered by unceasing faith in the EMPRAH, educating millions in a most excellent and informal style. This is a horribly incomplete collection of some of that information. Contents are below. The bulk of this document is made up of excerpts from various /tg/ threads. Not every fact has been verified, so use this document at your own risk. Additionally, some facts have been included that are manifestly and demonstrably super-wrong in order to preserve the flow of an interesting conversation wherein certain ideas were discussed and either proven or disproven. The dialogue between /tg/ and /tg/ is a wonderful aspect of the board’s scholarliness, and I would be remiss in my editorial duties if I did not retain it. For the time being I am not making any corrections to the spelling or grammar of these excerpts, again in order to preserve the informality and style of /tg/. There are also a few organization problems that I’ll sort out in future editions (I need to change /tg/ on the Amazons to /tg/ on Mythology & Folklore— the Amazons, for example). In the table of contents, entries are green if they are five to nine pages long and red if they are ten pages or longer. Two excerpts before we begin. History /tg/ is the worst /tg/ as its full of people presenting misconception as fact, or outdated facts as still facts despite primary evidence to the contrary.

    www.ModernSilkRoadTour.com ABOUT THE SILK ROAD The Silk Road, the ancient network of trading routes stretching more than 15,000 kilometers from Japan, the Korean Peninsula through today’s Central Asia, Caucasus and Anatolia to the Mediterranean Sea, dates back to the second century BC. Formally established during the Han Dynasty of China (221–207 BC), the network began to be used regularly from 130 BC, when the Han officially opened trade with the West. However, the greatest legacy of the Silk Road was the exchange of ideas and beliefs: culture, art, religion, philosophy, technology, language, science and architecture. It left an indelible mark on famous travelers, philosophers and warriors - from Marco Polo to Genghis Khan and the Sufi poet Rumi. During antiquity some of the main traders along the Silk Road were the Chinese, Arabs, Somalis, Syrians, Jews, Persians, Greeks and Romans. During medieval times, the Turkic states and peoples assumed an important place in the development as well as the protection of the Silk Road. For example, during the Seljuki Empire spanned from 1060 to around 1307, the Silk Road expanded its leading role in the world economy. The number of the caravanserais constructed along the Silk Road tremendously increased in this period of time. These caravanserais took their unique place in the pages of history as the symbols of cross-fertilization of the cultures along the Silk Road. Meanwhile, together with the other historical monuments, they became the representatives of the rich historical and cultural Turkic heritage in this corridor. Today, the Silk Road prevails as an out of box and attractive tourism destination for the curious tourists who would like to experience a unique journey from the past to the present.

Kozybayev North Kazakhstan State University, Building №3 Address: Petropavlovsk, Pushkin st., 86, 150000, Kazakhstan, Petropavlovsk [email protected] Nurtalip Sharypkazy MA,Senior Lecturer,Department of Chinese Studies ,Faculty of Oriental Studies, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Karasai batyr 95a, Almaty, Kazakhstan [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the role of women in the Kazakh nomadic society. For centuries, the nomadic Kazakh society formed social foundations and traditional values, which consisted in respect for the mother woman as the keeper of the home. The position and role of women in Kazakh nomads were largely determined by the specific nature of the nomadic economy and the nomadic views about the place of women in life. Analyzing the social status of women in the nomadic Kazakh society, the authors of the article investigated the notes of travelers, the fundamental works of well-known ethnographers, as well as articles of modern researchers. The authors also skillfully cite Kazakh proverbs and sayings about the role and position of women in the family and society.
