【欧洲·拉脱维亚】 Suiti文化空间 Suiti cultural space（2009年）

Suiti是拉脱维亚西部新教（路德宗）一个小的天主教社区。Suiti文化空间具有许多显著特征，包括Suiti 妇女演唱的低音歌曲、婚礼传统、色彩缤纷的传统服装、Suiti 语、地方美食、宗教传统、一年一度的庆祝活动、数不胜数的民歌、舞蹈以及当地收录的歌曲集。在这里，大家庭结构的各种古老形式依旧很常见。在这些家庭中，特有的技艺代代相传，它们构成了Suiti文化遗产的重要组成部分。基督教以前的传统和宗教礼仪融合在一起，形成了Suiti社区非物质文化遗产的独特混合体。天主教会是Suiti社区同一性的支柱，在苏联解体后，已成功恢复。如此说来，Suiti文化空间已经历了一次渐进的文艺复兴。然而，今天只有少数几个人熟知Suiti 文化遗产，其中大部分是老人。因此，现在迫切需要向人们广泛传播Suiti 文化，并通过复原书面文件、电影档案和博物馆馆藏资料的内容，让更多的人参与保护Suiti 文化。

Suiti is a small Catholic community in Latvia Western Lutheran. The Suiti cultural space has many distinctive features, including bass songs sung by Suiti women, wedding traditions, colourful traditional costumes, suiti, local cuisine, religious traditions, annual celebrations, numerous folk songs, dances and a collection of locally included songs. Here, the various ancient forms of the extended family structure are still common. In these families, unique techniques are passed on from generation to generation, and they form an important part of the cultural heritage of Suiti. The traditional and religious rituals of Christianity fused together to form a unique mixture of the intangible cultural heritage of the Suiti community. The Catholic Church, the backbone of the identity of the Suiti community, was successfully restored after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, the Suiti cultural space has undergone a gradual renaissance. Today, however, only a few people are familiar with the cultural heritage of Suiti, most of whom are elderly. There is therefore an urgent need to disseminate the Suiti culture widely to people and to involve more people in the protection of Suiti culture by restoring the content of written documents, film archives and Museum collections.
