Kazakh wedding traditional and modern: transformations wedding ceremony in time
 Dosšanova, Gulžan ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor) ; Krupková, Jaroslava (referee)
This work is concerned with the process of wedding in the Kazakhstani society. As there is currently no written study of traditional and contemporary Kazakhstani wedding, my aim was to present and describe the wedding ceremony. I based the reconstruction of the traditional ceremony on respective literature, and for the interpretation of current forms I employed field research, my own memories of such marriages in 70s-80s and information from various respondents. An interesting phenomenon is the persistence of certain practices, rituals and customs in face of the changes in the human society. In the last 100 years, Kazakhstan has changed from a nomadic society to an industrial, evolving country. The contemporary wedding ceremony reacts to these changes and reflects them like a mirror. Wedding is forced to react to important social and cultural changes in the society. In this work, I wanted to point some of them out.
