| Synopsis: |
This timely volume would assemble the work of leading anthropologists who have engaged in recent ethnographic fieldwork to explore the creation and persistence of sacred landscape geography amongst indigenous groups in the Siberian north. Why a focus on Siberian cultural landscapes? Australia, in particular, has witnessed decades of detailed research into land use amongst aboriginal communities, and these studies have highlighted the total intermeshing of kinship, culture, ritual and subsistence. Recent studies of indigenous cultural landscapes in other regions has highlighted that sacred geographies are present in all areas of the globe, although locally unique. Landscape studies represent an ideal framework for exploring the constitution of local cultures. Despite the immense size of Northern Eurasia - and the rich and diverse indigenous life-ways present there - studies of Siberian indigenous groups are notable by their almost total absence from the research (and popular) literature. |
