Abstract

This article examines the ethnic features and transformational processes of the Kungirots, one of the historically significant ethnographic groups of Southern Uzbekistan. The study analyzes their traditional social organization, cultural identity markers, systems of kinship, and ritual practices, highlighting how these elements have evolved under the influence of socio-economic modernization, migration trends, and political restructuring in the region. Special attention is given to the transformation of communal institutions, intergenerational relations, and cultural continuity mechanisms, as well as to the role of globalization and urbanization in reshaping ethnic identity. By drawing on ethnographic observations, historical sources, and comparative analyses, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of the Kungirots’ ethnocultural identity. This article presents the social life, ethnicity and transformational processes of the Uzbek-Kungrad in the Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya regions.

Abstract

This study critically examines Juliana Cassaniti's ethnographic work on Buddhist and Christian communities in Northern Thailand to explore agency cross-culturally. The research objective is to analyze how divergent religious ontologies shape contrasting understandings of human action and challenge universalist models of agency rooted in Western categories. Methodologically, the study employs comparative ethnographic analysis, drawing on Cassaniti's fieldwork alongside theoretical contributions from Archer, Sewell, Ahearn, and Ortner. Results reveal significant contrasts: Christians conceptualize agency as relational and mediated through belief in a divine Other, while Buddhists ground agency in the natural self, governed by karma and personal practice. These findings demonstrate that religious ontologies constitute rather than merely mediate action. The analysis challenges existing frameworks by showing how local epistemologies fundamentally shape agency. The paper raises questions about internal diversity within these traditions and calls for further comparative approaches integrating non-Western frameworks into theoretical discourse. Ultimately, this study contributes to the anthropology of religion by demonstrating the cosmological foundations of human action and enriches understandings of agency as culturally and ontologically situated.

Abstract

This study examines Warak Ngendog as a hybrid cultural symbol that reflects the negotiation of urban multicultural identity in Semarang, Indonesia. In the context of globalization and rapid urban transformation, local cultural traditions are increasingly challenged to maintain their relevance while simultaneously adapting to new social, economic, and digital environments. This research aims to analyze how Warak Ngendog embodies cultural hybridity, how it is interpreted by the community, and how it contributes to the construction of social cohesion in a multicultural urban society. A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed, involving participant observation during the Dugderan Festival, semi-structured interviews with cultural practitioners and community members, document analysis, and digital ethnography of social media representations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis informed by cultural hybridity theory, symbolic interactionism, and urban identity studies. The findings reveal that Warak Ngendog represents a symbolic integration of Javanese, Chinese, and Arab cultural elements, functioning as a medium for expressing tolerance and intercultural harmony. The tradition has undergone transformation from a religious-cultural ritual into an urban cultural icon embedded in tourism, digital media, and commercial practices. While this transformation enhances cultural visibility and economic value, it also raises concerns regarding cultural commodification and the potential dilution of its philosophical meanings. Nevertheless, Warak Ngendog continues to play a significant role in strengthening Semarang’s urban multicultural identity and fostering collective belonging among diverse communities. This study contributes to broader discussions on cultural hybridity, urban identity, and multiculturalism by demonstrating how local cultural symbols operate as mechanisms of social integration in contemporary urban societies. It also highlights the importance of balancing cultural preservation with modernization in sustaining intangible cultural heritage.
