Multiplicity of Ontologies: Lakes and Humans in Siberia

Abstract: Global climate change and modernization efforts in the Soviet era have affected the relationship between humans and lakes in Northeast Siberia and have compelled local Sakhas to perceive and renegotiate the status of lakes. These changes have distanced Sakhas from their lakes, and, thus, fishermen and trappers have entered a new epoch, when they not longer fully understand the way lakes respond to human agency. By describing contemporary incoherent local practices at lakes (trapping and fishing), I intend to r… Show more

“…These observations link up with ontological debates in environmental anthropology (Burman 2017;Goldman, Daly, and Lovell 2016;Knox 2015;Mészáros 2020;Schnegg 2019;Whitaker 2019). In my previous work, I have also shown that Namibian scientists and Damara people share many observations about the winds, the rains, and climate change.…”

“…Traditional Ecological Knowledge is contextualized within a specific culture and the environments in which members of that culture live-yet many studies conducted worldwide on TEK do not absolutely require researchers to know or use Indigenous languages. While there is a rich body of literature on Sakha TEK in the Sakha Republic (for example, Crate 2006aCrate , 2008Crate , 2021Mészáros 2012Mészáros , 2020, none of this work on Sakha equally attends to linguistic and ecological matters simultaneously. Previous research (Sidorova 2020) on how the Arctic Council integrates TEK-traditional ecological knowledge-into policymaking shows that it sometimes simply amounts to "lip service."…”

“…E három tevékenység, vagyis a jég alatti húzóhálós halászat, a pézsmapocok-csapdázás, illetve a jég alatti lebegőhálós halászat gyakorlatai eltérő képet adnak arról, hogy mit is jelent a helyi ontológia, mik is a tavak, és mik az ebben a viszonyban megszerzett zsákmányok. E tevékenységek belső logikájáról már írtam (Mészáros 2019), ezért e helyen csak két megvilágító erejű terepmunkaélményemet osztanám meg röviden.…”
