I wonder what people see as unique about their own culture, as separate from other cultures?

My own local culture has a few unique things, but they are not overall unique, since you find commonalities in other regional neighbour cultures..

the few things that seem to be unique for us is:

- Stave Churches: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stave_church)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Borgundstavechurch.JPG

Though you might find a similar style in Russia from what ive heard?

- Brown cheese: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunost)

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JRzliNwDviw/TY7r7pTlfaI/AAAAAAAABKU/EknQWO0vs8E/s1600/DSC_2233.jpg

I am not sure about this, because its very similar to English style cheeses too, like Leicester red cheese, and judging from the Wikipedia page it seems you also find it in other Scandinavian countries...

The Holy (http://www.lajes.af.mil/news/story_print.asp?id=123296844) Ghost Festival (http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Holy-Ghost-Fests-a-feast-for-Portuguese-Azoreans-2367138.php).

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/animebooklover/0100/vgh/Image1_zps52534980.png


Every year, the Azoreans, especially the inhabitants of Terceira, celebrate the Holy Ghost Festival. This religious celebration begins Easter Sunday and runs for eight weeks until Pentecost and Trinity Sunday.

This ancient religious tradition began on mainland Portugal around 1296 by an initiative of Portuguese Queen Isabel. She founded the first Holy Ghost brotherhood whose intent was to honor the poorest man in the kingdom. According to the tradition, the poorest man was placed on the king's throne and crowned "emperor" for one day during a ceremony held in his honor in the royal church.

Following the crowning ceremony, a royal procession took the crowned man from the church to the palace, where a banquet was then offered in his honor. Considered an act of humbleness, the tradition was first introduced in the Azores through the first settlers around 1432 and practiced through subsequent generations.

Though the tradition has disappeared on mainland Portugal, it is still actively celebrated in the Azores, as well as in Azorean immigrant communities in the U.S., Canada and Brazil.

Northeastern US: we are some of the most liberal people in the entire country, and have almost developed a "culture" of liberalness.

Sicily: Sicilian culture, along with that of Calabria and Apulia, is a good example of modern Italian culture built over generations of Greek culture. Thus you can still see elements of Greece in the musical styles, architecture, etc. even though you still feel like you're in Italy.

Portugal: Portuguese culture, while close to other Latin Europeans, has developed a less "Mediterranean" flavor than other Southern European nations. Logically it makes sense since Portugal is not on the Mediterranean, but the overall "vibe" is different and unlike the Mediterranean, which served as a focal point for the development of say, southern Italian cultures, for Portugal it was the Atlantic.

In most Portuguese universities and other types of higher education institutions, usage of academic dress for undergraduates, or traje académico is still widespread and has even gained popularity in recent decades.[citation needed] The traje is composed of black trousers (or skirt, for female students), white shirt, black tie, a black overcoat, known as batina (in the case of male students, the classical traje also includes a black vest) and a black robe.[19] Some Portuguese higher education institutions have their typical academic outfit which differs greatly from that born in the ancient University of Coimbra. This is the case, for example, of those worn by the students of the University of the Algarve and Minho University. Usage is generally restricted to the first weeks of the semester, during the introductory and reception activities which make part of the Praxe tradition. In some older institutions, where traditions are better implemented, one can see students trajados during the entire year, though.

The Manueline (Portuguese: estilo manuelino, IPA: [ᶤʃˈtilu mɐnwe̞ˈɫinu]), or Portuguese late Gothic, is the sumptuous, composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century, incorporating maritime elements and representations of the discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral. This innovative style synthesizes aspects of Late Gothic architecture with influences of the Spanish Plateresque style, Italian urban architecture, and Flemish elements. It marks the transition from Late Gothic to Renaissance. The construction of churches and monasteries in Manueline was largely financed by proceeds of the lucrative spice trade with Africa and India.

I read into it a few hours ago, they are all descendants from Northmen whom migrated south, which i guess are basically Scandinavians, but the hall of Rohan is very Norse in the carving style and designs, even their dress is similar to what ive seen from Norse culture:

The “mazzolu”, a hammer used until 1940 in Sardinia by women that gave the euthanasia to the dying persons to end their sufferings and accelerate their death, but it was used also towards old people no longer independent. Only women that during their youth practised the job of midwife were allowed to practise the euthanasia, though this activity was against the dictates of the Christian religion, it was accepted from the society.

That's because they are from Sao Jorge Island, they sell them on the other islands now, but they are still only made in Sao Jorge. I think you'd have to order them online if you want to try them, or go to the Azores :P. They really are delicious.

I am an historian :picard1:

Of course this particular work is unique, but the style (Dorian columns ect) are not unique to Greece, the typical Greek styles (Dorian, Corinthian and Ionian) were spread especially in the Hellenic and Roman era to many other regions and have since developed there too, also the general building style (not Dorian ect) is not Greek in origin, but is likely near eastern in origin.. I made this thread to try and find truly unique things about various cultures, challenging the idea of cultural originality..

Romeiros de São Miguel

On Ash Wednesday starts the Lent season. During these 5 weeks it is common to see groups of men walking and chanting through the villages of São Miguel island (Portugal).

These pilgrims called “Romeiros” each year reaffirm their faith circling the island on foot and praying. In 1522 the first capital, Vila Franca do Campo, was shacked by a strong earthquake.

The volcanic eruption that came afterwards was very heavy that from the 4.500 inhabitants only 500 survived. 40 years later another strong eruption originated Lagoa do Fogo. Since then there are information that groups of man with walk around the island praying for God’s assistance and guidance.

The “ranchos de “Romeiros” are composed of children and older men and star organising themselves right after Christmas.
There is a “Mestre” and all are “Irmãos”.

For a week these men take a bag with the more essential things and sleep in house of volunteer people at the end of each day.

Traditionally the host would wash their sore feet. Besides the cloth bag they transport a “bordão”, wooden stick to help them walk, a scarf and shawl. As they walk they stop at chapels and churches and pray in a special ritual. On the 8th day they arrive at the departure point.

Shinty (Scottish Gaelic: camanachd, iomain)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/3732535153_ac359c59c7.jpg
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/3675022595_0b501a9a53.jpg

Shinty is older than the recorded history of Scotland. It is thought to predate Christianity, having come to Scotland with the Gaels from Ireland.

Hurling, which is a similar game to shinty, is derived from the historic game common to both peoples which has been a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2,000 years.

While comparisons are often made with field hockey, the two games have several important differences.

In shinty, a player is allowed to play the ball in the air and is allowed to use both sides of the stick, called a caman which is wooden and slanted on both sides.

The stick may also be used to block and to tackle, although a player may not come down on an opponent's stick, a practice called hacking. Players may also tackle using the body as long as it is shoulder-to-shoulder.

Shinty is also one of the forebears of ice hockey: in 1800, Scottish immigrants to Nova Scotia played a game on ice at Windsor. In Canada, informal hockey games are still called shinny.

An other unique chrachteristic of Greek culture is that we ''celebrate'' - I know that this word is wrong but I can't think of a better translation for ''εορτάζω''- on the date that our saint is honored... for example if someone is called Nicolaos he celebrates on 6th of December because that is the date when the Greek Orthodox church honors saint Nicholas, if someone is called Chris he celebrates on Christmass, Maria celebrates on 15th of August and so on.

ps our name's celebration is much more important than our birthday, in fact we celebrate our birthday only when we are young

The recipe. (http://thewifeofadairyman.blogspot.com/2010/08/bolashas-de-espece-portuguese.html) The comments are interesting, it's true that nobody knows how it originated, nothing like it is found on the mainland or the other islands, so it's thought to have originated by settlers other than the Portuguese.


"Broas de Espécie
As broas de espécie são um dos doces tradicionais de Natal, muito semelhantes às broas castelares. A grande diferença está na preparação da massa – enquanto as broas castelares levam farinha, as broas de espécie não levam. Esta ausência da farinha na massa torna as broas de espécie mais macias, embora o sabor entre ambas seja muito semelhante.
Além desta diferença, há também a questão da decoração das broas; as de espécie são salteadas com missangas coloridas, enquanto as broas castelares são cobertas apenas com gemas batidas."

We shouldn't have our own class system though. It was rejected long ago for good reason.

Not having a class system makes for a relaxed, easy-going, free, less superficial, less materialistic people who identify themselves and judge other people according to characteristics such as kindness, humility, generosity, resilience, industriousness etc. rather than simply who one's parents are.

Things are changing in Australia though. I believe the continued intakes of masses of foreigners is influencing old Australian values. And not for the better.

In Norway class have not really been a big issue (or our nobility died out in the black plague), but in the last 20 years i have noticed that peoples wealth are making them more conscious of their own versus others social standing..Today the only class determination is income, low or high, regardless of occupation.. but its a sad development, creates false barriers between peoples..

The first part of it is another song & dance called Pessêgos, which is also very unique.

I found another video of these particular folk dances, it's from when the folk group visited the US.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2KQt_--r8o

The woman explains a bit about each one. She mentions that the Chamarrita is something uniquely Azorean and varies from island to island. After they perform it she talks a little bit about Pessêgos, which is the second dance they do, she mentions that it's unique to Sao Jorge Island (specifically Topo), and is performed around the time of the Matanca do Porco (killing of the pig/pig slaughter). The dance has two parts and is performed only by men, they sing outside someone's home asking to come in and then go inside the home for the second part of the dance. This particular dance is very unique and has been recognized as so. :)

They don't use any of the same instruments, the Chamarrita is a fiddle-driven dance. If you watch the first video I posted (the one I linked to in the quoted post), you can see there are no similarities. :)

My favorite is actually the very last one in the first video, it's called Ladrao although I really like Pessêgos as well.

Only women that during their youth practised the job of midwife were allowed to practise the euthanasia, though this activity was against the dictates of the Christian religion, it was accepted from the society.

In one word love of freedom and ultra independent character. If there is two of us, there are at least 10 different opinions. LOL Wouldn't wanna be any other nationality. That's my nationality, my people extends to all the Slavs and Lithuanians. It's their soul that's different from all others, no foreigner can fake it. Slavic Power! :tongue
