metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper discusses the role of pilgrimage in the modern Kazakh culture. Studies of the individual
  religious experience of modern Kazakhs allow researchers to distinguish at least two
  basic points of view on the tradition of making pilgrimages to sacral places. Thus, representatives
  of official Islamic institutions often condemn the practice of pilgrimage, wheras common
  people see no contradiction between the tradition of visiting holy places and the norms of
  Islam. Moreover, they consider themselves ‘true Muslims’ while admitting the specificity of
  Islam in Kazakhstan and referring to the long-standing custom of ancestors. The inclusion of
  the ‘new’ objects of pilgrimage related to the names of national heroes into the general context
  of the worshiped objects suggests that the traditional notions of sanctity remain still topical at
  present and form the religious consciousness of the modern Kazakhs. The cult of saints is officially
  recognized as part of the national culture and constitutes, along with other ethnical and
  historical symbols of the present-day Kazakhstan, a particular direction of the state cultural
  politics. The positioning of religious objects in the historical context allows for a compromise
  of its kind between the views of those who stand up for the Islamization of the ritual sphere
  and the traditionalists fighting for the preservation of the ethnic specifics of the Kazakh culture.
  On the basis of the conducted research, the author concludes that, notwithstanding the
  official prohibitions and disapproval of pilgrimage by the adherents of the Islamization of the
  Kazakh culture, pilgrimage remains an integral part of the modern religious life of Kazakhstan
  and has distinct links with the national and religious identity.
