Rivers of the Asian Highlands
Rivers of the Asian Highlands introduces readers to the intersecting headwaters of Asia’s eight largest rivers, focusing on the upper reaches of two river systems: the Brahmaputra’s highland tributaries in the eastern Himalayan Mountains and the Dri Chu (upper Yangzi), which descends from the Tibetan Plateau’s east through the Hengduan Mountains. This book guides its readers through these two rivers’ physical, environmental, cultural, social, and…
Entre ' silence ' et expression
Les éleveurs nomades du plateau tibétain sont connus pour leur mode de vie axé sur l'élevage et leurs relations avec les animaux qui en découlent, principalement les yacks. Lorsqu'il s'agit des plantes, l'attention des chercheurs tend à se concentrer sur les aspects pratiques de la vie, à savoir les animaux domestiques, le régime alimentaire et la médecine. De ce point de vue, les éleveurs du Tibet ont une grande variété d'interactions avec des p…
Differentiating Smoke
On the Tibetan plateau, smoke, either as by-product of heat-generating activities or intentionally produced, is ubiquitous. Wafts of smoke rising from the central flaps of black yak-hair tents in pastoral communities are mirrored by yak-dung smoke rising out of chimneys in stone houses of agricultural areas. Observers of summer horse races and other community events might note the presence of thick plumes of smoke emerging from pyres of dried bra…
"Life" and "freeing life" (tshe thar) among pastoralists of Kham
Cet article examine l’interface entre les pratiques religieuses et l’environnement physique chez les pasteurs nomades contemporains dans la région du Kham Minyag. Il détaille comment les pasteurs nomades du Kham pratiquent leurs croyances religieuses en incorporant des entités de leur environnement physique, telles que les yaks, de façon à compliquer la dichotomie particulière entre le spirituel et le physique. Explicitant la compréhension vernac…
Taming Tibet
An Ecology of Religiosity
A growing anthropological literature on how various groups of people relate with nonhuman Others has questioned the universality of the conceptual binary between Nature and Culture and, particularly, the usefulness of the concept of ‘Nature’ to an understanding of human–nonhuman relationships. In light of this, what then becomes of ecology? In particular, can we retain the crucial ecological notions of system and form while bypassing ‘Nature’? Dr…
An ethnography of life and changes among Tibetan nomads of Minyag Dora Karmo, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province
This article describes the pastoral movements and material culture of a community of nomads in Eastern Tibet (Kham) and how they negotiate changes brought about not only by national government policies and international development plans, but also by a local lama.
Transforming history and myth
Questioning the distinction between ‘cold’ and ‘hot’ societies, and an implied separation between myth and history, anthropologists have increasingly urged for an understanding of both myth and history as equally valid modes of shared social consciousness. This article takes up this point of view by referring to a written history of Lhagang, a town in Eastern Tibet; a history that appears to have the transformative content and oral circulation of…
