LOANS FROM JAPANESE CULTURE AS FACTOR OF SOCIOCULTURAL DYNAMICS IN RUSSIAN FAR EAST
One of key elements of social cultural dynamics is borrowing of cultural forms. The author of the paper studies them using the example of Japanese cultural forms that are found to be currently present in the territory of Russia’s Far Eastern region. This paper attempts to organize the revealed cultural borrowings in a number of hypothetical groups and to identify the nature of the borrowings according to existing typologies. The cultural borrowing under study is found out to be a gradual process of assimilating certain culture forms that have the status- and sign-nature.
