They are known to scholarship for their animistic worldview, and because the word ?shaman? has been borrowed from their language. Despite such recognition contemporary Evenki everyday life rarely appears as a subject for anthropological monographs, mainly because access to Evenki communities for the purpose of extended fieldwork has only recently become possible. In this original study of the Evenki the authors describe a variety of events and situations they observed during fieldwork, and through these experiences document different strategies that Evenki use to retain their ethos as hunter-gatherers even in circumstances when hunting is prohibited. The authors adopt the vocabulary of cybernetics, proposed by anthropologist Gregory Bateson, in order to underline the circuit logic of events that happen in Evenki land. Culture Contact in Evenki Land , therefore, will be welcomed by social anthropologists in general and specialists of Siberian and Inner Asian studies (Manchu-Tungus peoples) and hunter-gatherer peoples in particular, as well as those interested in the cybernetic approach. 410 0$aInner Asia book series ;$vno. 7. 606 $aEvenki (Asian people)$zRussia (Federation)$zBaikal, Lake, Region 606 $aEvenki (Asian people)$zRussia (Federation)$zBaikal, Lake, Region$xSocial life and customs 607 $aBaikal, Lake, Region (Russia)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEvenki (Asian people) 615 0$aEvenki (Asian people)$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.894/1 700 $aSafonova$b Tatiana$0969368 701 $aSa?ntha$b Istva?n$f1968-$0969369 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465166503321 996 $aCulture contact in Evenki land$92202819 997 $aUNINA
