【欧洲·俄罗斯联邦】塞梅斯基的文化空间与口头文化 The Cultural Space and Oral Culture of the Semeiskie（2008年）

塞梅斯基是俄罗斯一个古老的信徒群体，居住在偏远的特兰斯贝卡地区。他们在俄罗斯形成了由宗教信仰结合起来的社会群体，有着自己特有的文化要素和群体意识。塞梅斯基意为“以家庭为单位生活的人”，是一批“老信徒”，忠实信奉17世纪前的东正教。他们有着一部饱受压迫、迫害和流亡的历史。17世纪东正教分裂后，他们先是受到了正统教会，继而是苏联政权的冲击。女皇卡捷林娜二世统治时期他们被安置到西伯利亚，在这个人迹罕至的地方，保存着原地域的文化和旧俄罗斯的生活方式。他们使用的语言，是混合着白俄罗斯、乌克兰和布里亚特语的俄罗斯南方方言。生活方式的特点表现为家庭崇拜、严格的道德规范、传统服装、别具一格的住所和装饰。每逢家庭庆祝和民间节日，他们就组织起合唱队，演唱源自中世纪俄罗斯的礼拜音乐的歌曲，这些歌曲的“拉长音” ，堪称复调歌曲的独特典范。
