Description
By the end of the twentieth century it became clear that national distinctions are never eradicated or transformed, but continue in perpetuity. Each nation has acquired and claimed its own place in the world, and in doing so has defined its own original ways of measuring the terrestrial space and time – time spent on working, living, and waging wars. Vladimir Dmitrievs models for research have been the peoples of the North Caucasus, including Georgians, Chechens, Ossetians, Ingush, Kabardians, and Adygei; and the history of this region has seen numerous upheavals, wars, and migrations of peoples. The result of 25 years of work in this field is the present book entitled Space and time in North Caucasian Popular Culture (Prostranstvo I vremia v traditsionnoi kulture narodov Severnogo Kavkaza) . It divides logically into two parts, the first devoted to temporal coordinates, and the second to systems of measurement of everyday culture, and space.
