Embracing Landscape
Examining human-animal relations among the reindeer hunting and herding Dukha community in northern Mongolia, this book focuses on concepts such as domestication and wildness from an indigenous perspective. By looking into hunting rituals and herding techniques, the ethnography questions the dynamics between people, domesticated reindeer, and wild animals. It focuses on the role of the spirited landscape which embraces all living creatures and acts as a unifying concept at the center of the human and non-human relations.
Multispecies Households in the Saian Mountains
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 not...
The Horse in My Blood
A fascinating interspecies relationship can be seen among the horse breeding pastoralists in the Altai and Saian Mountains of Inner Asia. Victoria Soyan Peemot herself grew up in a community with close human-horse relationships and uses her knowledge of the local language and horsemanship practices. Building upon Indigenous research epistemologies, she engages with the study of how the human-horse relationships interact with each other, experience injustices and develop resilience strategies as multispecies unions.
Söyleşiden Denemeye Bir Yol Gider
Bütün gelişmekte olan ülkeler gibi Türkiye’de de siyasi, kültürel ve sosyal değişmelerin çözümlenmesi ve sorunlara hal çareleri bulunması bazen imkansız hale gelebiliyor. Eğitimin istenilen seviyede olmaması, kültürel ve bilimsel araştırmaların tutarlı biçimde yönetilmemesi, bu imkansızlık sebeplerinin başında sayılabilir. Yaklaşık kırk yıla varan bir eğitim ve akademi tecrübesi olan yazar, 2006-2017 arasında yazdığı ve zaman zaman söyleşiden denemeye yönelen köşe yazılarıyla ülkenin, yazdığı zaman diliminde tanık olduğu siyasi, sosyal ve kültürel sorunlarını sıcağı sıcağına yorumlamayı ve hal çareleri üretmeyi, zihinsel ve ...
Reclaiming the Forest
The reindeer herders of Aoluguya, China, are a group of former hunters who today see themselves as “keepers of reindeer” as they engage in ethnic tourism and exchange experiences with their Ewenki neighbors in Russian Siberia. Though to some their future seems problematic, this book focuses on the present, challenging the pessimistic outlook, reviewing current issues, and describing the efforts of the Ewenki to reclaim their forest lifestyle and develop new forest livelihoods. Both academic and literary contributions balance the volume written by authors who are either indigenous to the region or have carried out fieldwork among the Aoluguya Ewenki since the late 1990s.
Protests, Land Rights, and Riots
"Morris deploys the incisive tools of anthropology to deconstruct the way neoliberal policies of the 1980s began to reverse the political gains Australian Aborigines had made in the 1970s...This work is of crucial relevance for thinking beyond the present neoliberal impasse." - Gillian Cowlishaw, Sydney University "Morris reveals the lie underpinning so much recent cant but more sets the situation of Aborigines in the context of larger global forces. This is a much overdue work that should contribute to new understanding and which breaks out of some of the enduring categories that continue to inhibit critical thought." - Bruce Kapferer, University of Bergen "Morris is not afraid to study sys...
Beyond the Lens of Conservation
The global agenda of Nature conservation has led to the creation of the Masoala National Park in Madagascar and to an exhibit in its support at a Swiss zoo, the centerpiece of which is a mini-rainforest replica. Does such a cooperation also trigger a connection between ordinary people in these two far-flung places? The study investigates how the Malagasy farmers living at the edge of the park perceive the conservation enterprise and what people in Switzerland see when looking towards Madagascar through the lens of the zoo exhibit. It crystallizes that the stories told in either place have almost nothing in common: one focuses on power and history, the other on morality and progress. Thus, instead of building a bridge, Nature conservation widens the gap between people in the North and the South.
Moğolistan
Asya’nın Sessiz Coğrafyasında Tarihimize Seyahat Gezip görmek, insanın görüşlerini genişletir. Çok yer dolaşan kişiler, çok coğrafya ve çok insan tanırlar. Böylece insanlarla toplumlar arasındaki farkları görürler. İbni Batuta gezilerinde Anadolu'yu dolaşırken Ahi tekkelerinden bahseder. Ahiler hakkında en güvenli bilgiyi onun eserinde bulmaktayız. Eski gezginlerin gördüklerini anlatmaları çok önemlidir. Yalnız eski gezginler gördüklerini görüntüleyip günümüze ulaştıramamışlardır. Bu fakir, Moğolistan gezimizi anlatarak çektiği fotoğrafları siz okurlara sunmaya çalıştı. Umarım 21. Yüzyıl Moğolistan’ı hakkında bir belge olur. Dukha Türkleri ren geyiği yetiştiren insanlardır. Onların sadece bir günlük hayatlarını fotoğraflar ile belgeleyip sizlere sunmaya çalıştık. Fotoğraflar konusunda fotoğraf sanatçısı Necmi Alagaş'tan yardım istedik. Sağ olsun, bizleri kırmadı ve gezi grubumuzdan olan arkadaşımız çektiği güzel fotoğrafları bizlere vererek bu eseri zenginleştirdi.
Trapped in the Gap
In Australia, a ‘tribe’ of white, middle-class, progressive professionals is actively working to improve the lives of Indigenous people. This book explores what happens when well-meaning people, supported by the state, attempt to help without harming. ‘White anti-racists’ find themselves trapped by endless ambiguities, contradictions, and double binds — a microcosm of the broader dilemmas of postcolonial societies. These dilemmas are fueled by tension between the twin desires of equality and difference: to make Indigenous people statistically the same as non-Indigenous people (to 'close the gap') while simultaneously maintaining their ‘cultural’ distinctiveness. This tension lies at the heart of failed development efforts in Indigenous communities, ethnic minority populations and the global South. This book explains why doing good is so hard, and how it could be done differently.
