The project is supported by the Finnish Academy of Science, and involves publication (in Russian and in English) of separate volumes devoted to the description of the religion and mythological traditions of the Uralic peoples. Started in 1999 with Komi Mythology (in Russian), the series now comprises four volumes in Russian: Komi (1999), Khanty (2000), Mansi (2001) and Selkup (2004), three of them having been also published in English: Komi (2003), Khanty (2006) and Mansi (2008); further volumes are under preparation. The present volume introduces readers to the mythic narratives, beliefs and religious traditions of the Selkups, an indigenous group speaking a Samoyed language. The tiny Selkup population consisting of less than 4000 persons lives in a vast area in the west of Siberia; their nearest linguistic relatives are other Samoyed- speaking peoples, the Nenets, Enets and Nganasans, and the Ob’-Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi). The Southern and Northern Selkups differ both in their dialects and their customs, and lack a common literary language. The Selkups were one of the classical targets of ethnographic studies in Siberia by the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition to important Russian ethnographers such as E. D. Prokof’eva and G. N. Prokof’ev, the Finnish researchers M. A. Castrén and Kai Donner made the Selkup language and culture known in Western countries. However, though there are classical descriptions of Selkup shamanism published by the above researchers, their mythic narratives and folklore has been a closed field for Western researchers. This book opens up the world-view and beliefs of the Selkups and thus presents the means to interpret their rituals and religious practices. Selkup Mythology is the fourth volume of The Encyclopaedia of Uralic Mythologies, edited by Anna-Leena Siikala, Vladimir Napolskikh and Mihály Hoppál, which offers a basis for the study of the roots and present nature of Finno-Ugric and Samoyed religions. The volumes present information on the history, social organisations and livelihoods of the peoples in question, describe the central parts of their religions and world- views and give a reference list of the most important studies and archives on their culture and folklore. Each volume involves a large dictionary of mythological terms for the tradition concerned. Mythology is understood in a broad sense, including not only myths proper and mythic narratives but also the beliefs and practices involved. The reader of Selkup Mythology will benefit from reading Khanty Mythology and Mansi Mythology, the second and third volumes of The Encyclopaedia of the Uralic Mythologies. They deal with beliefs and ideas related to Selkup mythic thinking. Prof. Vladimir Napolskikh, who edited the Russian version published in 2004 in Tomsk, has had the main editorial responsibility in publishing Selkup Mythology. He has worked with Dr Natalya A. Tuchkova from Tomsk, who has headed the group of authors. The scientific interests of Natalya A. Tuchkova lie in the ethnographic studies of Siberian peoples, the mythology of the Uralic and the Turkic peoples, the Selkup language, the history of Siberia, museology and the classification of ethnographic museum collections. During the 1990s she carried out active field work among various local groups of the Southern Selkups. In 1999, under the supervision of Prof. Dr V. M. Kulemzin, she defended her doctoral thesis “The Dwelling and the Settlements of the Southern Selkups as the Components of Inhabited Space”. Since 2003 she has worked as Assistant Professor of the Department of Archaeology and Ethnology at Tomsk State Pedagogical University. Internationally well known, Prof. Dr Ariadna I. Kuznetsova, Professor of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics in Moscow, has investigated the mythology of Northern Selkups. She has arranged and taken part in more than twenty linguistic expeditions, mainly to the Samoyed and the Finno-Ugric peoples. The core of her scientific work is the Selkup language, the vocabulary and in part the grammar of which were described in Ocherki po sel’kupskomu yazyku, tazovskiǐ dialect (The Study of the Selkup Language, the Taz Dialect) I–III, 1993, edited by her, and in many papers addressing problems of ethnic and sociolinguistic research. Her more than 140 articles, published in Russia, Hungary, Germany, Finland and Estonia, reflect a wide spectrum of scientific interests. Prof. A. I. Kuznetsova is an Honorary Professor of Moscow State University, and an Honorary Member of the Finno-Ugric Society (Finland, 1991). Dr Olga A. Kazakevich from Moscow is, like Dr Kuznetsova, a specialist in the Northern Selkups. In 1989 she defended her doctoral thesis “The Computer Corpus of the Selkup Language: Its Creation and Application in Specific Linguistic Research”. Dr Kazakevich is the author of more than 140 publications on Samoyed studies, phonosemantics, ethnolinguistics, sociolinguistics, methods of language teaching, including five monographs, and co-author of a textbook on the Selkup language. At present she works as a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Automatic Lexicographic Systems of the Scientific Computational Centre of Moscow State University. She is a member of the Expert Council on National Schools of the Ministry of Education of Russia. In 1997 she worked as the expert on the problems of minorities in Russia in the working group of the Commission on Human Rights of the United Nations. She works as a teacher at the Institute of Linguistics of 10 the Russian State Humanitarian University, where, among other things, she runs the course on disappearing languages of the world. In addition to Natalya A. Tuchkova, Prof. Dr Aleksandra A. Kim-Maloni from Anchorage, USA, took part in the writing of the Southern Selkup chapters of this book. The scope of her scientific interests covers various aspects of ethnolinguistics – the Samoyed and the Germanic languages, reconstruction of the world-view on the basis of the cult

  • Wildlands a Homebrew Setting and Conversion for This Is Not a Test By: Mike R
    Wildlands A Homebrew Setting and Conversion for This is Not a Test By: Mike R. and Jeff S. Summary: A fantasy conversion for This Is Not a Test, the premise is that a group of inventors created a powerful device known as the Mueller Gateway. It opened a portal into a parallel and unnatural realm known as the Immaterial. They hoped to harness the power of this realm, but instead were driven mad by exposure to it. They lost control of their device, and in doing so released a plague of interdimensional horrors into an area known as the Wildlands; the region they had set up their workshop. The Empire, fighting a war in the North with the barbaric Orc hordes, has been forced to turn to mercenaries to help quell the outbreak. The Emperor himself placed a bounty on each and every creature, to be paid upon proof of death. Now Mercenary Warbands roam the Wildlands, hunting the beasts and each other. You play as one of these Warbands, and your goal is simple: Hunt creatures, stop other Warbands from doing the same, and get paid. Rule Changes: The rules are basically the same with some minor variations Term and Name Changes: Robot = Golem Mutant = Touched Primitive = Common Support Weapon = Artillery Creature = Beast Warband = Company Modern = Uncommon Relic = Curio Heavy Improvised = Improvised Great Weapon Heavy Weapon = Great Weapon Light Improvised = Improvised Hand Weapon Light Weapon = Hand Weapon Small Blade = Dagger Mauler = Halberd Slaughter Blade = Falchion Maw-Maw’s Pry Bar = The Spirit of the Knight Exemplar Bow = Short Bow Black Powder

  • Reconstructing Proto-Ugric and Proto-Uralic Object Marking Katalin É
    Reconstructing Proto-Ugric and Proto-Uralic Object Marking Katalin É. Kiss ([email protected]) Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy and Pázmány P. University Abstract This paper demonstrates that syntactic changes in the feature specifications of functional heads can be traced back to undocumented stages of languages. It reconstructs the object–verb relation in Proto-Uralic – by means of the comparative method adapted to syntax. Present-day Uralic languages display differential object–verb agreement and/or differential accusative marking. In double-marking languages, the head licensing object–verb agreement may be different from that licensing accusative-marking. The licensing conditions of object marking are also different across languages. It is argued that the Uralic parent language had both object-verb agreement and accusative assignment licensed by a TP-external functional head with a [topic] feature. The [topic] feature of this head has been reanalyzed as [specific] in Udmurt, and as [definite] in Hungarian – via a natural extention of the content of the notion of topicality. In languages with generalized accusative assignment, i.e., in Hungarian and Tundra Nenets, the licensing of object agreement and accusative marking have been divorced; the latter has come to be associated with v. Keywords: differential object marking (DOM), object–verb agreement, accusative, syntactic reconstruction, comparative method 1. Introduction According to the Borer–Chomsky Conjecture (Borer 1984), the parametric values of grammars are expressed in the functional lexicon. Under this assumption, syntactic changes involve changes in the feature specifications of functional heads. It is an open question whether changes of this type, affecting features of morphologically real or abstract syntactic heads, can be traced back to undocumented stages of languages (cf.

  • 5 Abkhazia: Living with Insecurity
    5 Abkhazia: Living with insecurity Maxim Gvindzhiya Destroyed building in Sukhum(i) PHOTO: ANNA MATVEEVA Summary When conflict with Georgian forces broke out in August 1992, many Abkhaz were armed only with hunting rifles, though more advanced weapons were soon acquired from Russian troops, either by negotiation or unilateral seizure. The SALW used were mostly of Soviet/Russian origin. Since the conflict ended in 1993, SALW have remained widespread. The local population still feels insecure, and in such circumstances, people are reluctant to hand in their weapons. Tension is particularly high in the Gal(i) region, which lies on the de facto Abkhaz border that forms a ceasefire line with Georgia proper. The government of the unrecognised Republic of Abkhazia has had some success in regulating SALW proliferation. Legal arms sales are better controlled, and the MOI keeps a register of all individuals who possess arms. Legislation has been passed on the possession and trafficking of firearms. However, whenever tension escalates at the border, guns again become more visible in society. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · ABKHAZIA Traditional gun A close affinity with guns and pastoral gun possession, especially in the mountain culture areas, is rooted in the cultural traditions of the Abkhaz. In the past, an Abkhaz man typically provided his family with food by hunting, fishing or farming and these trad- itions remain strong. Today, coupled with the impact of the war, the Abkhaz attitude to weapons is still largely governed by tradition. Traditional Abkhaz culture stresses the importance of firearms in society, and these ideas are instilled in the Abkhaz from birth.

  • Exploring New Technologies for Hunting Review and Recommendations December 2017
    DRAFT 12/11/2017 EXPLORING NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR HUNTING REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS DECEMBER 2017 A white paper analyzing the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America, a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques and tactics Wyoming Game and Fish Department Committee Members Aaron Kerr Dustin Shorma Dustin Kirsch Irah Leonetti Tara Hodges Nick Roberts Jeff Short Joe Sandrini EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hunting equipment technology has advanced greatly over the past few decades and continues to expand at a rapid rate. This change in hunting technology has led to concerns from wildlife management professionals, the hunting public, legislators and other interested parties regarding maintenance of fair chase and ethical hunting practices. In August, 2017, a Wyoming Game and Fish Department committee was established to examine various pieces of high-tech equipment available for hunting and suggest ways to address them in relation to fair chase and ethical hunting. The committee was also tasked with looking at ways to analyze potential future technological developments within the same arena. The assembled committee discussed and outlined the history of fair chase hunting and traditional hunting ethics in North America and developed a framework for examining certain technologies and where they fit into the spectrum of hunting tools, techniques, and tactics. The framework divides fair chase into two categories for consideration, one related to an animal’s ability to avoid detection and the other concerned with the animal's ability to elude harvest if detected. The first category is subdivided into traditional and modern methods of detecting game, and the second is delineated by distances a hunter must stalk within to make a reasonable attempt at a quick and humane kill.

Almost two years had passed after my dissertation on the lumberjacks of Finnish Lapland. I was still occupied with forest history, but I knew that in order to develop as a scientist, I had to leave the familiar ri­ vers and fells of Finnish Lapland, and do research on something else. Professor Juhani U.E. Lehtonen at the University of Helsinki gave me a hint: there are copies of fieldwork notes written by U.T. Sirelius in our archive. Give them a look, Lehtonen advised me, no doubt with the hope that his student would not ignore one of the emphases of the ethnology department's activities, issues concerning Finno-Ugric peoples, including therefore both East Europe and Russia.
