Nursultan Nurkaliyev, a student of the Department of Far Eastern Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, became a prize-winner of the annual student conference "Farabi Alemi."  With his report titled “Archetypes of Japanese Society,” Nurkaliyev won 1st place in the "Society and Religion" section and 3rd place at the faculty level, receiving a cash prize of 30,000 tenge.

Archetypes are stable symbolic images and behavioral models that arise in the collective unconscious and are passed down from generation to generation. In Japanese society, archetypes are expressed through traditional values, cultural norms, mythological and religious concepts, and are reflected in modern socio-cultural practices.

The relevance of this work lies in the need to understand the internal mechanisms behind the formation of Japanese identity and social attitudes. This is important not only for theoretical comprehension of Eastern societies but also for practical applications — from international analysis to intercultural communication and education.
