Co-written by an anthropologist and a reindeer herder on the basis of their field materials, this book offers documentation and analysis of complex traditional environ-mental knowledge. It first discusses the methodology of the Evenki community-based transdisciplinary observatory for monitoring the climate and environmental changes with herders (2012–2016). The book presents the emic typologies and concepts the Evenki use for understanding norms and anomalies, observing and predicting changes, and adapting. It is abundantly illustrated with photographs and contains many diagrams with explanations in Evenki, Russian, and English.
This book on Nanai shamanic culture is based on first-hand information provided by shamans and recorded in the years between 1980 and 2012, a time of rapid socio-cultural change in Russia. It sheds light on the lively indigenous discourse in which social factors such as the splitting of society into different paternal lineages relates to spiritual troubles that Nanai people experience as collective ‘shamanic dis-ease.’ But inter-clan confrontations are not only mediated in shamanic rituals, as these must not be separated from folk narratives, dances and other forms of art. Furthermore, the book provides profound insights into the plurality of contradictory discourses on indigenous knowledge as well as those delivered in non-indigenous contexts. The latter arose or became more intense in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, and often led to experiments in new shamanic practices.

Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Die Chanten leben als Rentierzüchter in der Taiga Westsibiriens – eine Lebensweise, die durch die Erdölförderung verdrängt wird. Ihr Leben verläuft heute räumlich und sozial im Wechsel zwischen Wald und Stadt. Ihre Strategien, kulturelle Differenz und Autonomie durch Grenzziehungen mit Hilfe religiöser Praktiken und sozialer Normen aufrechtzuerhalten, werden am Beispiel des Festes zum „Tag des Rentierzüchters“ verdeutlicht. Der Autor zeigt, wie Menschen der Taiga in dieser Situation eigene Prak-tiken des Verbergens und Vermeidens, aber auch neue Wege der öffentlichen Reprä-sentation nutzen.
Das Buch bietet eine Darstellung zeitgenössischer Kultur, die der Flexibilität und Plu-ralität des menschlichen Deutens, Handelns und Verhaltens gerecht wird. Am Beispiel der südsibirischen Tyva werden mehrere Modelle der Weltinterpretation als gleich-zeitig und gleichwertig sowie als einander ergänzend und widersprechend erfasst. Die Autorin zeigt, wie lokale Akteure verschiedene Modelle der Weltinterpretation fle-xibel zum Einsatz bringen, welchen Regeln sie dabei folgen, von welchen Gründen sie sich leiten lassen und welche Konsequenzen sie zu tragen haben.

General editor: Erich Kasten
Exhibitions and workshops serve to enhance the mutual understanding of peo-ples with different backgrounds and encourage valuable and productive discourse between them. The edited volumes of this series contain the outcomes of such exchanges in which issues of particular relevance for the peoples of the Russian North are addressed through interdisciplinary and crosscultural perspectives.
Oral histories constitute a common topic of research for linguists, historians, as well as for social and cultural anthropologists. However, respective discourses on this theme have barely yet been delivered among them. During a workshop at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) in December 2015, it became apparent how scientists from various disciplines can benefit from such an intellectual exchange. With its contributions to minority languages and linguistic contact varieties this volume aims at bridging this gap by providing multifaceted interdisciplinary views on diverse approaches to oral history research.

Jochelson, Bogoras and Shternberg: A Scientific Exploration of Northeastern Siberia and the Shaping of Soviet Ethnography
2018, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien ca. 240 pp., 15,5 x 22 cm iSBN: 978-3-942883-34-4Euro 28, paperback
In this volume the authors discuss the fascinating and changeable biographies and significant work of Waldemar Jochelson, Waldemar Bogoras and Lev Shternberg, as well as how they became involved in ethnography towards the end of the 19th century, when they had to spend many years as political exiles in remote parts of northeastern Siberia. Their early strong revolutionary commitment shed light on their empathetic and progressive fieldwork methods towards the local people. At the same time they incorporated important impulses from American cultural anthropology gained from their close collaboration with Franz Boas. Their initial aims and methods were also reflected in their ambitious community-oriented research programs that they and some of their colleagues later conceptualized and launched at Leningrad University.

Die von Franz Boas von 1897 bis 1902 im Auftrag des American Museum of Natural History in New York durchgeführte Jesup North Pacific Expedition gilt als eine der bis heute größten wissenschaftlichen Expeditionen zu den Völkern Nord ostasiens und des Nordwestens Nordamerikas. Für die Erforschung der in Ostsibirien lebenden Čukčen, Korjaken, Jukagiren, Yupik und Nivchen konnte Boas Vladimir Iochel’son, Vla-dimir Bogoraz und Lev Šternberg gewinnen. Sie waren als revolutionäre Staatsfeinde in jene entlegenen Gebiete Sibiriens verbannt worden, wo sie sich bereits mit den Sprachen und Kulturen der dort lebenden Völker vertraut gemacht hatten. Gegen den Hintergrund ihrer wechselvollen Lebenswege wird in diesem Buch der bedeutende Einfluss hervorgehoben, den sie auf die Entwicklung der Kulturanthropologie bzw. der Ethnographie im späten Zarenreich und während der frühen Sowjetunion ausübten.

Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert bereisten Forscher und Gelehrte den Norden des Fernen Osten Russlands. Viele von ihnen waren deutscher bzw. baltendeutscher Herkunft und arbeiteten im Auftrag der russischen Regierung. Ihre ausführlichen Beschrei-bungen und Berichte geben Auskunft über Lebensverhältnisse und Naturnutzung zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten und liefern den Hintergrund auch für heutige Forschungen in dieser Region.Zu den hier vorgestellten Forschungsreisenden zählen Georg Wilhelm Steller, Peter Simon Pallas, Carl Heinrich Merck, Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff, Adelbert von Chamisso, Friedrich Heinrich Freiherr von Kittlitz, Adolph Erman, Johann Karl Ehrenfried Kegel, Carl von Ditmar und Gerhard Baron von Maydell. Das vorliegende Buch gibt ein abgerunde-tes Bild aus historischer, literaturwissenschaftlicher und sprach wissenschaftlicher Sicht und zeigt die Anfänge der sibirischen Ethnologie. So wird es dem besonderen Charakter der hier behandelten Werke gerecht, die sich durch einen breiten fächerübergreifenden Ansatz und anwendungsorientierte Zielsetzungen auszeichnen.

The contributions to this volume present ways in which indigenous knowledge in minority communities is sustained and how attempts are made to safeguard endan-gered languages. Two recent seminars at the Foundation for Siberian Cultures were devoted to the discussion of community-based pedagogical initiatives in Siberia, with comparative examples from other parts of the world. In this volume, scholars with backgrounds in anthropology, linguistics and in the use of new media share their experiences of how to design adequate learning tools in collaboration with their native colleagues. In their articles they discuss previous shortcomings and limitations, with the aim of exploring future directions for maintaining cultural diversities, not only in Siberia, but also among many other peoples of the world.

Since the 18th century, researchers and scientists have traveled the peninsula of Kamchatka in the Russian Far East. Many of them were of German origin and had been commissioned by the Russian government to perform specific tasks. Their exhaustive descriptions and detailed reports are still considered some of the most valuable documents on the ethnography of the indigenous peoples of that part of the world. These works inform us about living conditions and particular ways of natural resource use at various times and provide us with valuable background information for current assessment. Each of the volumes contains essays by scholars from various historical, ethnological and natural science perspectives.

In the late 1980s, in the wake of perestroika, a cultural revival took place among the Itelmens. During the Alkhalalalai festival ancient worldviews of this people are remem-bered. Rituals that were once made for reconciliation with nature are re-staged. Further more, this DVD portrays other social activities and dance performances by dance ensembles during the festival.
During the workshop on “Preserving Endangered Languages and Local Knowledge”, convened at the Foundation for Siberian Cultures in 2011, learning tools and commu-nity initiatives from various parts of the world were discussed. With this DVD some of the initiatives and pedagogical approaches are shared among the indigenous com-munities that were portrayed in the films, as well as with others who are facing similar situations and concerns.
This DVD presents a dual theme of the exhibition “Shamans of Siberia”, shown at the Linden-Museum Stuttgart, 13.12.08 - 28.06.09: the persistence of traditional sha-manic worldviews in Siberia today, and artistic transformations of shamanistic motifs beyond the north. The films show indigenous people in dialogue with the cultural her-itage of their past, and contemporary interpretations of shamanic images by western artists engaged in exploratory exchange with the living cultural traditions of Siberia.

Flucht vor dem mord an einem Volk
aus dem Schwedischen übersetzt von Ulrich Kasten2018, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirienca. 210 pp., 15,5 x 22 cmiSBN: 978-3-942883-35-1Euro 18, paperback
Anhand von Einzelschicksalen erfahren wir von der weitgehenden Vernichtung des ehemals lebendigen jüdischen Lebens in Osteuropa durch den Holocaust und den darauf folgenden Kommunismus. Fünf polnische Jüdinnen und Juden überstehen – in einigen Fällen auf abenteuerliche Weise – die Verfolgung und die Lager der deutschen Nationalsozialisten und einer von ihnen den sowjetischen Gulag in Workuta. Wegen der antisemitischen Politik im Nachkriegspolen verlassen die meisten von ihnen ihre Heimat und beginnen in Schweden ein neues Leben.
In ihren Erzählungen reflektieren die Betroffenen selbst die Ereignisse, die mit histo-rischen Fakten und einfühlsamen Stimmungs bildern hinterlegt werden. So erfolgt eine differenzierte Einschätzung von Situationen und geschichtlichen Entwicklungen, die ihrer besonderen Vielschichtigkeit gerecht wird. Damit unterscheidet sich das Buch wohltuend von manchen oft zeitbedingt und politisch gefärbten Interpretationen und Einordnungen der Ereignisse.
Die Gedichte dieses Bandes sehen den Menschen in seinen Beziehungen zur Natur, seinen Mitmenschen und zu sich selbst – so schön, banal, aber auch so grausam sie sich immer darstellen können. Sie sprechen von Gefühlen, die in einem wachsen, aber auch von Gefahren, die ein oft unverantwortlicher Umgang mit uns, mit anderen und mit der Natur nach sich ziehen können.

While much has been written on post-Soviet change in Russian urban centres, we still know very little about how these changes have affected peoples’ lives in rural com-munities. This volume fills this gap with in-depth studies of how people with different cultural backgrounds, often living in extreme natural environments, are coping with dramatic and rapid political and economic transformations. It shows how the fate of postsocialist reforms in the Russian North depends largely on striking the right balance between exploitation of the region’s strategic natural resources and concern for environmental impacts and the survival of local people.
Indigenous groups are reshaping and claiming possession of symbols. In addition to material objects and practices, knowledge itself is increasingly claimed as the exclu-sive heritage of a specific group, whose members assert privileges on this basis. The commodification of culture as a form of property is a product of complex processes of identity construction. Native groups in the circumpolar North, although sharing similar natural environments, have experienced very different political histories. This book explores the consequences of this variation for the ways in which culture is nowadays celebrated, but also manipulated and reified.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union has opened up new processes of building and rebuilding collective identities in the Russian North. Contests over identity have become highly politicised and are seen by many inhabitants of Siberia as an instru-ment to secure access to resources and cultural property. The mobilization strat-egies of activists often involve manipulation of the criteria for group membership and switching between criteria, while simultaneously cultivating ‘cross-cutting’ and multiple identities.

The Foundation for Siberian Cultures
The Foundation for Siberian Cultures is dedicated to maintaining cultural diver-sity in Siberia and the Russian Far East. The idea for the Foundation, established in 2010, emerged from many years of research among the peoples of the North and from initiatives focusing on sustaining their cultures.
The aims of the Foundation are: Sustaining indigenous languages of the North, along with the traditional knowledge expressed in them; and the preservation and further enhancement of art and craft traditions of Northern indigenous peoples. Learning tools and teaching materials by and for indigenous communities may help to counteract the forces bringing about the loss of cultural diversity and the dissolution of local and ethnic identities. Relevant materials have been and will be produced together with local experts using modern technologies.
Exhibitions, cultural exchanges by means of tours of artists and workshops in Germany and Russia serve to enhance mutual understandings of peoples with different cultural backgrounds and encourage valuable and productive dia-logues between them.
