Description
The book was written based on the results of ethnographic fieldwork in several cities and regions of Tajikistan, which provides information about the occupations of men in the country. Craftsmanship, as a field of intangible cultural heritage, today, with the implementation of industrial products and new technology, has become somewhat in a difficult situation. However, regardless of this, the products that come from the artisans have demands among people, and this factor can contribute to the growth and development of this and that element. Artisans also use their knowledge and skills to develop their profession and skills and then fulfill the needs of the people. Most professions and crafts are transmitted from father to son and master to student according to tradition.
The book includes ethnographic analysis of some kinds of Tajik folk crafts and other types of intangible cultural heritage, such as wedding ceremonies, rites, and folk games. The book consists of a preface and three sections: general descriptions and discussion of the contemporary folk crafts, highlighting of other ICH, and a conclusion, and a list of used literature is also included at the end.
The accomplished research, as well as fieldwork observations of cities and regions, show that the attention to traditional crafts of Tajiks has increased in recent years, and crafts are revived. For instance, adrasbofi—the weaving adras fabric in the entire territory of the country—has developed during the last decade.
Now our girls and women sew their own clothes from their own-produced fabric. As well as were developed other crafts like making wooden plates, wood carving, blacksmithing, wooden box-making, cradle-making, and some others. A lot of new crafts have been created on the basis of woodworking traditions, which are also performed with electrical tools and devices. For example, today's craftsmen use welding tools to make beautiful, traditionally decorated iron doors, windows, fences, footings, stairs, and other parts of the building and everyday tools in the works and news.
