Description
Summary:This paper concerns the little-known, largely archaic practices of traditional Chukchi songs and incantations. Use is made of the unique Chukchi language materials of Vladimir Bogoraz, recorded by that scholar in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as hitherto unknown sources from the author’s unpublished field materials, collected in Chukotka in the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries, and here introduced into scientific circulation. Ce texte porte sur les pratiques peu connues et largement archaïques des chants et incantations traditionnels tchouktches. Il s’appuie sur les documents uniques en langue tchouktche de Vladimir Bogoraz, enregistrés par ce chercheur à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle, ainsi que sur des sources jusqu’ici inconnues provenant des documents de terrain non publiés de l’auteur, collectés en Tchoukotka dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et au début du XXIe siècle, et ici présentés dans une forme scientifique. В статье освещаются малоизвестные, во многом архаичные, традиционные песенная и заговорная практики чукчей. Использованы уникальные материалы Владимира Богораза на чукотском языке, записанные ученым в конце XIX- начале XX вв. Вводятся в научный оборот неизвестные источники из полевых материалов автора, собранные на Чукотке во второй половине XX и начале XXI вв.
