- Abstract
- The author argues that there are a number of facts pointing to the transition of Tuvan kinship from the patrilineal system observed in the prerevolutionary period to a cognatic system with a recent trend toward matrilineality. The advancement of the woman both in kinship and economic relations may be seen in many ways as a result of social policies pursued during the Soviet period. The transformation further deepened in the 1990s, when Tuvan men generally experienced a crisis. The traditional cognatic way of inheriting shaman's faculties, as the author suggests, contained a relationship model which competed with the patrilineal order and carried the rudiments of what would grow into the contemporary transformation of the Tuvan kinship system.
