UNIVERSAL TREE AALLUUK MAS IN THE CONTEMPORARY CULTURE OF THE SAKHA (YAKUT) PEOPLE
Revitalization of the epic heritage of the Sakha people brings re-comprehension of mental prototypes, whereof the Universal Tree Aal Luuk Mas takes special part and carries definite functions, which are on demand among modern ethnic social groups. Inordertooutlinethesenseandvaluesofthegivenphenomenonofculture, we worked out a model and analyzed its layouts, which are seen at the traditional summer festival Ysyakh. We used methods of modelling, comparison, logical analyses and made a prognosis of further ongoing renaissance of the olongho epos and materialization of the archetypical image of the Universal tree, which is valuable for cultural practice.
