South Siberian Tyvan models of world interpretation
exemplify the flexibility and plurality of human
interpretation and social behaviour. Anett C. Oelschlaegel
demonstrates that local actors utilise models that are both
complementary and contradictory.
“below the … declamatory level, however, most Tyvans were
undogmatic pragmaticians, who constantly contradicted
themselves or displayed a consistent inconsistency in their
subjectively intended meaning.”
Professor emeritus Bernhard Streck, University of Leipzig
Anett C. Oelschlaegel completed her PhD at
the University of Leipzig in 2011. She has also been a
longstanding associate of the Siberian Studies Centre of the
Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle.
