Emplaced Power and Luck: Perception of landscape by Orochen-Evenki reindeer herders and hunters in East Siberia

Summary/Abstract: This article is a continuation of previous publication elaborating on Orochen-Evenki notions of luck and power and showing the indigenous interactions with other humans and non-humans and taiga places. By ethnographic and comparative analysis, this article aims to investigate how reindeer herders and hunters of East Siberia percieve landscape in a post-Soviet environment. A previous article showed that ambivalent power interactions can be analyzed through indigenous knowledge, skills, empathy and various subsistence strategies. This article mainly analyzes how power and luck can be seen as an emplaced relation. It argues that this aspect is underepresented in worldwide ethnographic studies of landscape.
