Abstract
Research on the influence of traditions and religion on cultural entrepreneurship usually focuses on how religion and tradition support entrepreneurial activity. The questions of how traditional ideas and religion can support cultural entrepreneurship remain outside the scope of much research. To understand this phenomenon, where through entrepreneurship the symbols and structures of the national tradition, as well as the religious aspects of the ethnic group, are recreated, an ethnographic study was carried out. In the context of the study, an important place is occupied by the fact that we are considering a period equally divided into a 30-year hibernation of culture (during Soviet rule) and its dynamic revival with Kazakhstan’s independence. In the process of inductive research, a dynamic model of the process was identified, highlighting the factors of accumulation of material within the culture and starting the process of its working and retransmission. This model shows how cultural hibernation served as a trigger for the launch of the process of restoring culture and supporting the national heritage through entrepreneurship. During the period of special intolerance of the Soviet authorities, entering into suspended animation was able to preserve traditions in a state of non-manifestation, creating a shell for the accumulation of all centuries of experience. Gradually, this shell became permeable, and the process of cultural dynamics began. There the skills built in by the environment were transformed into actions and demonstrated through active practices. Thus, the relaying of cultural material could become the basis for supporting religion and tradition through cultural entrepreneurship. The study proposes to consider entrepreneurship as a means of preserving the intangible and material (through objects and processes) cultural heritage, which carries both archaic symbols and constructs and is clothed in a new layer of modern ethnic symbols.
期刊介绍:
South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
