Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
General editors: Erich Kasten and David Koester
The series contains monographs in Social and Cultural Anthropology on Siberian
cultures. The books are intended primarily for students, scholars and for all those
who have an interest in Siberian and Northern ethnology, and in understanding the
tremendous changes that indigenous, rural and urban communities in these regions
have experienced in the recent past.

Evenki Microcosm: Visual Analysis of Hunter-Gatherers’
Lifestyles in Eastern Siberia
2019, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien
173 pp., 80 color pages, 19 x 27 cm
ISBN: 978-3-942883-36-8
Euro 48, paperback
This experimental book is about the Evenki hunter-gatherers of Siberia. Through
innovative visual methodology it reveals that despite an old stereotype of that lifestyle
being a part of humanity’s past, it is probably in humanity’s future. In six chapters
filled with a flow of photographs that cover such topics as shamanic rituals, hunting,
foraging, reindeer herding, the application of new technologies and jade mining, the
authors show that hunter-gathering is not a primitive way of survival, but a complex
and open-to-change philosophy of life that is embodied in everyday practices. Photo-
graphs allow readers to immerse themselves in the most profound layers of human
experiences, and astute ethnographic and analytic summaries help them navigate the
world of the taiga, where people are neither conquerors of natural forces nor passive
consumers of resources. The book will be of interest both to social anthropologists
and general readers curious about life in unfamiliar places.

An Arctic Indigenous Knowledge System
of Landscape, Climate, and Human Interactions:
Evenki Reindeer Herders and Hunters
2017, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien
467 pp., ca. 300 color photos, 15,5 x 22 cm
ISBN: 978-3-942883-31-3
Euro 68, paperback
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.

Nanai Shamanic Culture in Indigenous Discourse
2013, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien
264 pp., 5 color photos, 15,5 x 22 cm
ISBN: 978-3-942883-14-6
Euro 28, paperback
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.’ Furthermore, the book provides profound insights into the plurality of contra-
dictory discourses on indigenous knowledge as well as those delivered in non-indig-
enous contexts.

Der Tag des Rentierzüchters:
Repräsentation indigener Lebensstile

Euro 34, paperback
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.

Plurale Weltinterpretationen:
Das Beispiel der Tyva Südsibiriens

ISBN: 978-3-942883-13-9
Euro 32, paperback
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.

Exhibitions and Symposia
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.

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: 978-3-942883-34-4
Euro 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.

Oral History Meets Linguistics
2017, Fürstenberg/Havel: Kulturstiftung Sibirien

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.

Euro 38, paperback
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 Nordostasiens
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 sprachwissenschaftlicher 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.

Sustaining Indigenous Knowledge: Learning Tools and

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.

General editors: Erich Kasten and Michael Dürr
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.

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.

During the workshop on “Preserving Endangered Languages and Local Knowledge”,
convened at the Foundation for Siberian Cultures in 2011, learning tools and commu-

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.
Contemporary History
This series contains materials on current historical and ethno-political discourses. The
first focus is on the oral histories of people who have had to cope with deportation
and forced migration. The emphasis will be on books, articles or other documents
that relate in particular to Russia and Eastern Europe. Other works in the series will
consider these themes in a wider regional context.

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 Stimmungsbildern 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.

People and the Land:
Pathways to Reform in Post-Soviet Siberia
2002, Berlin: Dietrich Reimer Verlag

ISBN 3-496-02743-6
Euro 29 (D) / sFr 49, paperback
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 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.
