Faith in displacement: vernacular stability and the reinvention of Yazidi religion in exile

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Yazidi religious tradition, once anchored in rigid caste boundaries, a central sacred geography, and hereditary authority, is undergoing a profound transformation in the context of exile. This article introduces the concept of vernacular stability to describe the ways in which religious meaning is sustained not through institutional permanence, but through reinterpretation, embodied memory, and everyday ritual practice. Drawing on examples from post-genocide Yazidi communities in Iraq and the diaspora, the study shows how sacred authority is reassembled beyond Lalish, how formerly inflexible caste rules become sites of negotiation, and how trauma shapes moral boundaries and intergenerational transmission. Far from signalling decline, these shifts reveal a form of resilience that rests not on immutability, but on the capacity to translate faith into altered social and spatial conditions. Yazidi religion emerges here not as a static system, but as a field of contested meanings, sustained by improvisation, repetition, and memory.
