Formation of Ethno-Futurism at the Turn of the XX-XXI Centuries
Abstract
The development of the international art movement of ethno-futurism, which arose in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s is analyzed in the article. Ethno-futurism is considered to be a phenomenon of the transition period in the history of culture, the process of addressing by the people to their cultural roots at the background of globalization. There were formation three phases in its formation. At the first, initial, phase from the late 1980s until 1994 movement was aging in Estonia and in the national regions of Russia. It finished by the integration of the movement as the Finno-Ugric one and with the Manifesto of the 1st conference of ethno-futurists in 1994 in Tartu. At the second phase from 1998 to 2006, the movement moved to Udmurtia. The representatives of the Turkic and Russian peoples joined the movement. At the third phase from 2005-2006 till present, the movement has become diversified. Its centers are the International Festival KAMWA (Perm), the International megaproject “Ethno-futurist Symposium” (Udmurtia), the geography of the participants is worldwide. It is obvious that the notion of ethno-futurism is composed of at least three components: a social movement for creating favourable conditions for the nations’ cultures development; ideology and philosophy of ethno-futurism and an ethno-futurist creative method. These components can be present in today's culture independently of each other. Therefore, there are phenomena carrying the name of ethno-futurism but not directly connected with it.Downloads
