Transformation of the consciousness of post-nomads in the context of globalization

Transformação da consciência dos pós-nômades no contexto da globalização

Abstract:

Globalization has changed traditional society’s many aspects. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that one of the consequences of globalization is the loss of nomadic peoples’ traditions, culture, ideology and uniqueness, including post-nomads. The purpose of this study is a detailed analysis of the literature on how the post-nomads’ consciousness changes from globalization processes, and how nomads adapt to such processes. Having analysed all the problems and challenges for the post-nomads’ consciousness in the adaptation to globalization, it was revealed that the post-nomads’ cultural identity in the Kyrgyz Republic, with successful adaptation to modern living conditions, remains important. It is established that it is more expedient to introduce original development, in the form of a harmonious combination of traditions and innovations, to improve living standards. In the course of the study, recommendations were developed for the revival and preservation of post-nomads’ traditional values and culture, in the context of globalization, to preserve identity and ethnic identity.
