Reflection of religious motives in the heroic epic «Manas»
No full textAt the beginning of the I millennium BC, one of the largest events in the history of the peoples inhabiting the mountainous expanses of Eurasia took place — the transition of steppe tribes to a nomadic lifestyle, to nomadic cattle breeding. The presented study examines the heroic epic «Manas» — one of the oldest epics in the world, which reflects not only the life and way of life of the nomadic Kyrgyz people, their ethical norms, but also religious cult rituals and actions. The main goal of the author is to reveal the religious foundations of the epic «Manas», which made it possible to formulate two key tasks: on the one hand, the identification of peculiar historical «signs of time», traces of various epochs found in the work, and the analysis of religious images of «Manas», on the other. Both tasks are inextricably linked and reflect, in fact, different sides of the same problem. ьThe author examines in detail the issues of reflection of early religious beliefs (totemism, animism, ancestor cult), as well as Muslim motifs in the epic text. The main purpose of the scientific analysis of religious motifs is to clarify their ontological and axiological value in the context of nomadic existence. The article presents the totemic beliefs on the example of the zoomorphic goddess Ak-Bugu very vividly. It tells how Ak-Bugu (literally, the Holy Deer-girl) feeds baby Semetei with her milk, and his mother seeing it,perceived it as a good sign. In ancient times, the deer, elk, argali, as well as the wolf or the leopard, were considered sacred animals patronizing the Kyrgyz tribes. The researcher also considered one of the most ancient and vivid female characters of the epic Manas, namely Aichuryok. Her image in “Manas” is associated with the motive of hero’s revival by his wife, which is widespread in the epic of Turkic-Mongolian peoples

Mapeando as autoidentificações, a construção das identidades e as subjetividades das “manas trans” da cidade de Maputo
No full textO objetivo deste artigo é analisar os processos de descoberta da sexualidade e identidade de gênero das “manas trans” destacando como e em que contextos aprenderam as categorias de identificação sexual e de gênero e também entender as suas subjetividades. Mostro que alguns sujeitos aprenderam a nomear suas identidades sexuais e de gêneros ao longo do tempo de acordo com as fontes de informação que tiveram disponíveis, tais como através da rotulação pela sociedade, mídia e pesquisando na internet. Outros aprenderam suas identificações quando passaram a frequentar uma organização LGBT que busca institucionalizar os termos, os conceitos e as expressões que promovem as melhores formas de falar sobre identidade sexual e de gênero. Para nomear as minhas interlocutoras que fizeram transição de gênero de masculino para feminino, cunhei a expressão “manas trans”. Porém, argumento que as “manas trans” compartilham um gênero com as mulheres, constroem seus corpos, identidades e suas vidas na direção do que consideram femininos e articulam signos femininos dispostos na cultura moçambicana, mas reconhecem que não são biologicamente iguais às “mulheres”. A pesquisa é de carácter etnográfico e baseou-se na observação participante e conversas informais.The objective of this article is to analyze the processes of discovering sexuality and gender identity of “manas trans”, highlighting how and in which contexts they learned the categories of sexual and gender identification and also to understand their subjectivities. I show that some of the subjects learned to name their sexual identities and gender over time according to the sources of information that were available such as by labeling by society, media, and searching on the internet. Others learned their identifications when they joined an LGBT organization that seeks to institutionalize the terms, concepts, and expressions that promote the best ways to talk about sexual and gender identity. To name my interlocutors who transitioned from male to female, I coined the expression “manas trans”. However, I argue that " manas trans " share a gender with women, build their bodies, identities, and their lives in the direction of what they consider feminine and articulate feminine signs arranged in Mozambican culture, but recognize that they are not biologically equal to "women". The research is ethnographic in nature and based on participant observation and informal conversations
Ancient Images and Plots of the Epic of Manas
No full textThe problem of the emergence and development of the Kyrgyz heroic epic of Manas has attracted
the attention of scholars since the very beginning of the study of this unique memorial.
The first researchers in the 19th century, Kazakh scientist Ch. Ch. Valikhanov and academician
V. V. Radlov, pointed to the antiquity of the Kyrgyz epic and expressed their thoughts about its
composition and existence. The question of the composition and development of the epic of
Manas on the basis of research on its plot, images and ideas was explained by scientists of the
20th century, such as V. M. Zhirmunsky, P. N. Berkov, S. M. Abramzon, R. Z. Kydyrbaeva, etc.
However, the question remains relevant today. There is still no consensus among scholars as to
the time of the epic’s origin and its main stages of development. The author of this article aims
to continue the study of the genesis of the epic of Manas and attempts to establish the historical
conditions that gave rise to the heroic epos as a new type of art and determined its further
development. The author considers and analyzes the most ancient plots and characters of the
epic of Manas, the formation and development of which largely predetermined the nature of
epic creativity in subsequent eras. The subject of analysis is mainly the image of the protagonist
and the most important themes of the archaic epic: the hero’s struggle with monsters,
heroic matchmaking, and the fight against raids. All material, when possible, is considered in
a comparative-historical perspective, in comparison with the epic work of Turkic peoples of
Southern Siberia and Central Asia
The Übermensch as the Deconstruction of Manas: A New Horizon for Eternal Recurrence
No full textThis paper proposes a cross-cultural philosophical synthesis by reinterpreting Friedrich Nietzsche’s concepts of Eternal Recurrence and the Übermensch through the lens of Buddhist Yogacara epistemology, specifically the deconstruction of Manas-vijnana (말라식). The author argues that the existential dread associated with the Eternal Recurrence—often perceived as a nihilistic trap of repetitive causality—stems not from the nature of reality itself, but from the rigid, self-grasping structure of the Manas. Within the Twelvefold Chain of Dependent Arising (12연기), the Manas functions as the architect of an ontological bifurcation, freezing the fluid process of existence into a fixed Subject ("I") and a fixed Object ("World").
Drawing on Nietzsche’s critique of the "Subject" as a linguistic fiction and his call for "self-overcoming," this study posits that the emergence of the Übermensch is synonymous with the deconstruction of the Manas. By dissolving the fixed ego-identity, the individual undergoes a profound Metanoia, transforming the "greatest weight" of infinite repetition into the "lightness" of creative play. Ultimately, the paper concludes that Amor Fati is only attainable when the Manas is dismantled, allowing the practitioner to embrace the necessity of Dependent Arising as an aesthetic phenomenon rather than a karmic prison. Through this "Transformation of Suffering," the Übermensch affirms the Eternal Recurrence as the ecstatic, ego-less dance of existence
