| Full description: |
During the course we will discuss some aspects of the “traditional” economies of syberian societies (reindeer herding, hunting and hunting cults). The important part will take the discussion on the symbolic practices connected to kinship systems, guardian spirits, as well as on the so called syberian shamanism – its contextuality and local diversity will be stressed. We shall pay some attention to ethnic and linguistic division of the syberian societies and to current formulations of the indigenous peoples’ rights and new categories of the “ethnic cultures”. |
