Ethnic medicine with the Armenian immigrants in the Republic of Mordovia: traditional representation and its transformation
Abstract
The article is based on new ethnographic
materials collected in Republic of Mordovia in 2008-
2010 under the direction of prof. Ludmila Nikonova
(Saransk). The author considers a daily practice of folk
remedies and health preservation used by some families
of the Armenian immigrants in the region as well
as some transformation of traditional representations in
this sphere. It has been established that rational and irrational
ethnic ways of treatment and preventive maintenance
of illnesses could play a role of an ethnic marker
in foreign culture environment of multinational Mordovia.
The ways of preserving health by the Armenian immigrants
are enriched by local medical practices of the
Mordvinians and Russians.
