Material Culture and Sacred Landscape

- The Anthropology of the Siberian Khanty
Af: Peter Jordan Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
This study provides a concrete example of how foraging societies enculturate and transform the natural environment and, through the use of material objects, create sacred spaces and sites. Using ethnographic and ethnohistorical information about the Khanty of Siberia, Jordan shows the shortcomings of both interpretive and materialist anthropological theorizing about hunters and gatherers. He focuses on the rich and complex relationship between the symbolism of the Khanty, their material culture, and the bringing of meaning to physical places. His examination looks at the topic in both historical and contemporary contexts, and in scales from the core-periphery model of Russian colonialism to the portrait of a single yurt community. Jordan''s work will be of importance to those studying cultural anthropology, archaeology, and comparative religion.
