Title
The Social Life Of The State In Subarctic Siberia,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Current cultural theory makes much of the role of the imagination of the 'primitive' and the 'indigenous' in the making of modern empires. In this study of Russian and Soviet governance of the Evenki hunters and reindeer herders of Northern Siberia, the author explores the reverse side of this social imaginary, exploring what he calls 'cultures of statehood' among the very people whom the state consistently rendered stateless. He examines the political uses of state institutions and the practices of identification with the state by indigenous Siberians who are traditionally described as stateless kinbased peoples whose cultures are determined by longterm adaptation to the harsh northern environment and for whom the proximity of state institutions is solely a cause of suffering. SsorinChaikov's goal is not merely to undo the displacement of indigenous lifestyles and identities to the imagined landscape beyond and before the Russian/Soviet state. It is, rather, to chart forms of government that expand alongside displacement, to examine the social life of the state in everyday contexts extending well beyond formal institutions, and to theorize statehood from a unique vantage point.
