It examines 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, the book covers an area famous for its claim as the birthplace of Eurasian reindeer domestication. Going beyond reindeer, the authors explore the less known role of yak, horses, wolves, spirits, fish, and many other sentient beings, all of which co-constitute local notions of ‘home places.’ In their contributions, the authors reach beyond conventional categories of wild and tame in a region that is increasingly hostile toward its own inhabitants as the result of global efforts to create protected nature reserves. Through its ethnographic nuance, the reader comes to appreciate many connections existing between human and other households — networks of relationships that transcends idioms of dominance or mutualism.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 653gContributor: Aivaras Jefanovas (Contributions by), Nicolas Rasiulis (Contributions by), Benedikte Møller Kristensen (Contributions by), Victoria Peemot (Contributions by), Alex Oehler (Contributions by), Alex Oehler (Edited by), Selcen Küçüküstel (Contributions by), Igor Rassadin (Contributions by), Konstantin Klokov (Contributions by), Anna Varfolomeeva (Contributions by), Anna Varfolomeeva (Edited by), Tayana Mongush-Arakchaa (Contributions by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Aivaras JefanovasRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
