Description

Product Description Multispecies Households in the Saian Mountains brings together new ethnographic insights from the mountains of Southern Siberia and Mongolia. Contributors to this edited collection examine Indigenous ideas of what it means to make a home alongside animals and spirits in changing alpine and subalpine environments. Set in the Eastern Saian Mountain Region of South Central Siberia and northern Mongolia, this book covers an area famous for its claim as the birthplace of Eurasian reindeer domestication. Going beyond reindeer, the contributors explore the less known roles of yaks, horses, wolves, fish, as well as spirits of place and many other sentient beings, all of which co-constitute local notions of "home places." The contributors extend their analysis beyond conventional categories of wild and tame in a region that is increasingly hostile toward its own inhabitants due to global efforts to create protected nature reserves. Using ethnographic nuance, the contributors highlight the many connections between humans and other species, stressing the networks of relationships that transcend idioms of dominance or mutualism. This book is recommended for students and scholars of anthropology, environmental studies, and Asian studies. Review Multispecies Households in the Saian Mountains: Ecology at the Russia-Mongolia Border highlights the complex attunements between humans, animals, and invisible entities in the taiga, using a historical and anthropological perspective. Through rich and original ethnographical vignettes, this volume offers subtle insights into the taiga landscape, perceived as a home shared by human and non-human sentient beings, and adds to our understanding of the shaping of multispecies coexistence in a time of change and uncertainty in Inner Asia.--Charlotte Marchina, Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales With true-to-life detail, the contributors to this volume describe the big and small techniques and procedures that herders and hunters of southern Siberia use to make a good home for themselves and their animals. This collection features important and timely ethnographies that show how humans, reindeer, horses, dogs, wolves, and a whole range of spiritual beings cooperate and compete--coexist, really--in the sentient ecology of the Siberian forests.--Gregory Delaplace, Paris Nanterre University About the Author Alex Oehler is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Northern British Columbia. Anna Varfolomeeva is PhD candidate in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy at Central European University.
