The theme of the conference was Landscapes, Sociality and Material- ity. The conveners of the panel were Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen and Eleonora Lundell, with discussant Marja-Liisa Honkasalo. The aim of the panel was to examine how ritu- als organise the production and perception of landscape and how landscape produces ritual. We would also like to thank the organisers of the Landscapes, Sociality and Material- ity conference in Helsinki, especially Anu Lounela and Katja Uusihakala. We are grate- ful to the editors of JEF to their final editorial work, to chief editor Ergo-Hart Västrik, and to the reviewers of the manuscripts for their valuable comments. In addition we would like to thank the University of Helsinki and the Academy of Finland for funding that contributed to our research.

Draw- ing on earlier studies of ritual and landscape, as well as the authors’ own ethno- graphic works, ‘ritual landscape’ is suggested here as a useful analytical tool with which to understand how landscapes are produced, and how they, in their turn, produce certain types of being. ‘Ritual landscape’ recognises different modali- ties of agency, power-relation, knowledge, emotion, and movement. The article* shows how the subjectivity of other-than-human beings such as ancestors, earth * Our research has been funded by the Research Funds of the University of Helsinki and the Academy of Finland (project entitled Mind and the Other: An Interdisciplinary Study on the Interactions of Multiple Realities, SA 266573). © 2017 Estonian Literary Museum, Estonian National Museum, University of Tartu 5 ISSN 1736-6518 (print), ISSN 2228-0987 (online) formations, land, animals, plants and, in general, materiality of ritual contexts, shape landscapes. We argue that ways of perceiving landscape includes a number of material and immaterial aspects indicated by ways of moving through land- scapes and interacting with different human and non-human subjects that come to inhabit the world, creating relations and producing agentive ensembles and com- plexes. KEYWORDS: ritual landscape • non-human agency • materiality • immaterial- ity • belonging • relationality ‘Ritual landscape’ as a concept emerged in archaeology in the 1980s to conceptualise sacred archaeological complexes where the artefacts found are mainly ceremonial, and where material evidence of other human activity is absent or sparse (Robb 1998). A vari- ety of ontological notions involved in ritual practice affect how landscapes are created, transformed, perceived, and experienced, both in urban and rural areas, and from this understanding the idea of landscape as produced as a consequence of the thought and values related to so-called sacred or social orders has emerged (Morphy 1991; Moore 2004). This special issue invites authors to discuss ritual landscape through the medium of contemporary ethnography. Our questions initiate exploration in two directions: firstly, the ways in which ritual (re)produces and organises landscape and the kinds of ritual agency that intertwine with this process. How is landscape perceived in the ritual pro- cess? What are the methods of creating ritual landscapes? This special issue examines specific knowledge, sounds, smells, and visual elements as ways of engaging with cer- tain places and spaces or thinking about its human and non-human actors. What do these factors indicate? The second direction attends to how landscape, in its turn, shapes and modifies ritual. The ethnographies presented in this special issue discuss the different ideas relat- ing to subjectivity, the personhood of spirits, objects, earth formations, land, ancestors, plants, and animals that act in ritual contexts in relation to landscape. We especially focus on interactions between human and non-human actors in the making of ritual landscapes. Thus, we not only address the acts of humans, but also the role of non- humans as we consider their agency in terms of materiality and movement crucial in the production of ritual landscapes. We also ask how ritual landscapes are embedded and produced in politics and eco- nomics and how these, in their turn, produce landscapes. And how do specific histo- ricities shape ritual landscapes? Furthermore, what can we say about landscapes in places where different religious ontologies coexist and merge, such as in the context of the urban areas? These landscapes can even become battlefields when different actors aim to use the same places for their

  • The Vitality and Revitalisation Attempts of the Mansi Language in Khanty-Mansiysk
    Uralic Studies PhD Programme Graduate School in Linguistics University of Szeged The vitality and revitalisation attempts of the Mansi language in Khanty-Mansiysk PhD Dissertation Csilla Horváth Supervisors: Anna Fenyvesi, PhD Katalin Sipőcz, PhD Szeged 2020 1 1. Research questions The Mansi language is an endangered indigenous minority language spoken in Western Siberia. Linguistically it belongs to the family of Uralic languages, socially it belongs to the group of the so-called numerically small indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation. The beginnings of bilingualism (and probable multilingualism) of the Mansi society are no doubt located in the distant past, and it would be problematic to determine the starting point of language shift, but it is certain that researchers (e.g. Munkácsi 1889a: 208, 222-224) have been complaining about the difficulty of finding native speakers due to assimilation and rapid language shift for more than a hundred years. Thus, it appears to be likely that at least a part of Mansi society became a subject of language endangerment already during the 19th century, and the process has continued ever since. The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Khanty- Mansiysk as its administrative and cultural centre often use the name Yugra, which refers to the indigenous Ob-Ugric peoples, as well as to ornaments and festivals originating from Ob-Ugric traditions, thus creating the district’s and the city’s own identity within Russia (Nagy 2016: 10-11). In order to “authentically” represent the Ob-Ugric cultural elements, the majority society needs Ob-Ugrians, including Mansis, who are considered “authentic”, but defining the authentic Ob-Ugric identity is not unproblematic in urbanised conditions.

  • Contemporary Situation of Khanty Language
    44 CAES Vol. 5, № 1 (March 2019) Contemporary situation of Khanty language Marija Launonen University of Helsinki; Helsinki, Finland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Khanty language faces numerous problems and tasks relating to dialect diversity, a small number of speakers, tensions between dialects, administrative divisions, education possibilities, urbanization and use of language in the contemporary world. A way that can be proposed to overcome these problems is to follow a Saami example in a decentralized approach to dialects, implementing online long-distance learning platforms. Several Khanty dialects are vigorously used among all age groups and have undisrupted intergenerational transmission, and the question in these cases, therefore, is about strengthening the language positions, not about reviving or revitalization. But there are few other dialects, where questions of reviving and revitalization are urgent questions. Keywords: Khanty language; language revitalization; Surgut idiom of Khanty language Introduction Khanty language, along with Mansi and Hungarian, belongs to Ugric branch of Uralic family. Khanty is spoken by an indigenous community, the Khanty people, who live in North-Western Siberia. According to 2010 census, in Russia 30943 people proclaimed themselves to be Khanty. 19068 of them live in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, 9489 live in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and 718 live in Tomsk Oblast. 9584 people have claimed to have good proficiency in Khanty language, and it is thought that almost all of them also have Khanty ethnic self-identity (Csepregi 2017). Khanty is usually divided into two dialect groups: Western and Eastern. The Western group is often divided further into Southern and Northern dialect groups.

    IWCLUL 2017 3rd International Workshop for Computational Linguistics of Uralic Languages Proceedings of the Workshop 23–24 January 2017 Norwegian University Centre of Oslo, St. Petersburg St. Petersburg, Russia c 2017 The Association for Computational Linguistics Order copies of this and other ACL proceedings from: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 209 N. Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ii Introduction Uralic is an interesting group of languages from the computational-linguistic perspective. The Uralic languages share large parts of morphological and morphophonological complexity that is not present in the Indo-European language family, which has traditionally dominated computational-linguistic research. This can be seen for example in number of morphologically complex forms belonging to one word, which in Indo-European languages is in range of ones or tens whereas for Uralic languages, it is in the range of hundreds and thousands. Furthermore, Uralic language situations share a lot of geo-political aspects: the three national languages—Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian—are comparably small languages and only moderately resourced in terms of computational-linguistics while being stable and not in threat of extinction. The recognised minority languages of western-European states, on the other hand—such as North Smi, Kven and Vro—do clearly fall in the category of lesser resourced and more threatened languages, whereas the majority of Uralic languages in the east of Europe and Siberia are close to extinction. Common to all rapid development of more advanced computational-linguistic methods is required for continued vitality of the languages in everyday life, to enable archiving and use of the languages with computers and other devices such as mobile applications.

With regard to the latter, it has been shown that the correlation between syntactic and pragmatic role overrules that of syntactic and semantic role. Thus, the Ob-Ugric passive voice is used as a Reference Tracking mechanism: it sustains the realization of the highest referent in the pragmatic hierarchy - the primary topic - as the subject of the sentence (cf.
