NomadIT, IUAES 2014 Conference organisers Eli Bugler, Megan Caine, Darren Edale, James Howard, Rohan Jackson, Triinu Mets 8 Welcome Welcome from the organizers of IUAES 2014 and the 48th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology (JASCA) It is my greatest privilege to have so many colleagues from so many countries with us here. IUAES 2014 with JASCA is a conference commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of our JASCA, the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology. Actually the origin of the JASCA dates back to 1934, when its predecessor organization, the Japanese Society of Ethnology, was born in Tokyo with a handful of people, so this is also its eightieth anniversary. It is a coincidence that our IUAES held its World Congress (ICAES) in London in the same year, 1934, and we are holding our anniversary conference together with IUAES as its Inter-Congress in 2014. As President of the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology and as Secretary-General of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences, I welcome you all from the bottom of my heart. This is obviously a festive occasion, because in addition to being an anniversary of JASCA and IUAES, this is also the tenth anniversary of the WCAA, the World Council of Anthropological Associations, which was born in 2004 in Recife, Brazil, at the opposite side of the globe and for which I once served as chair. The mood is celebratory but the purpose is serious. Together at this conference we are going to discuss the Future with/of Anthropologies. Our theme is the future of anthropology in general and of anthropologies in various subfields and countries. At the

Kolesnik and Alexandra A. Sitnikova* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041, Russia Received 01.06.2017, received in revised form 02.10.2017, accepted 09.10.2017 The article presents a scientific model of the traditional functioning of the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (Krai). This is an “ecological model”, since it implies careful and economical use of all natural resources being extracted. The current state of the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory North is described by a scientific model, which is perceived as a “model of symbolic consumption”. The authors analyzed main types of souvenirs produced by the indigenous minorities of the North of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, namely beadwork, bone carving works, festival clothes, taxidermy items, shaman attributes, doll amulets, etc. The researchers offered a scientific model of ways to develop the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous small-numbered peoples the Krasnoyarsk Territory North. These include the improvement of the “symbolic consumption” system first at the level of souvenir production, then at the level of creating ethnocultural villages and ethnic parks, and, finally, at the level of creating contemporary art works to be understandable and interesting internationally. Keywords: decorative and applied arts, the indigenous small-numbered peoples, souvenirs of the indigenous peoples of the North, ethnic park, development models for the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous peoples of the North.

    We Are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017)

    “We are the Rug Hooking Capital of the World”: Understanding Chéticamp Rugs (1927-2017) by © Laura Marie Andrea Sanchini A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University December 3rd, 2018 St John’s Newfoundland Abstract This thesis is the story of how utilitarian material culture was transformed into a cottage industry, and eventually into high art. Chéticamp rug hooking is an artistic practice, one wrapped up in issues of taste, creativity, class and economics. Rug hooking in Chéticamp rose to prominence in the first half of the 20th century when Lillian Burke, a visiting American artist, set up a rug hooking cottage industry in the area. She altered the tradition to suit the tastes of wealthy patrons, who began buying the rugs to outfit their homes. This thesis examines design in rug hooking focusing on Chéticamp-style rugs. Captured within design aesthetics is what the rugs mean to both those who make and consume them. For tourists, the rugs are symbols of a perceived anti-modernism. Through the purchase of a hooked rug, they are able to bring home material reminders of their moment of experience with rural Nova Scotia. For rug hookers, rugs are a symbol of economic need, but also agency and the ability to overcome depressed rural economic conditions. Rug hooking was a way to have a reliable income in an area where much of the labour is dependent on unstable sources, such as natural resources (fishing, lumber, agriculture etc.).
