Abstract

We focus on Tundra Yukaghir reincarnation cosmology and its workings in the current ethnic revival by examining rebirth accounts from the Lower Kolyma. In Sovietized Siberia, the atheist state fought against everything that was “religious” and thus contributed to the wane of reincarnation ideology and related ritual practices. In addition, the state suppressed a distinct Yukaghir ethnicity it had partly constructed itself. In the 1990s, rebirth returned to public discourse, which coincided with the time of a vibrant ethnic revival movement. We shall explore how today Yukaghir elders, who fear their people will die out, link the idea of individual reincarnation with the trope of “the rebirth of a people.” In this particular sociohistorical context, they juxtapose the trajectories of personal and collective becoming through the notion of recognition, as both gaining full personhood and full peoplehood depends on being acknowledged by others (the living and the dead) as well as by oneself.

一个民族的重生:西伯利亚东北部下科雷马地区尤卡吉尔冻土带的轮回宇宙观
我们通过考察来自下科雷马的重生叙述,关注尤卡吉尔人的转世宇宙观及其在当前民族复兴中的作用。在苏维埃化的西伯利亚,无神论国家反对一切“宗教”,因此导致了轮回意识形态和相关仪式的衰落。此外,这个国家镇压了一个独特的尤卡吉尔族,这在一定程度上是它自己建立起来的。在20世纪90年代,重生回归到公共话语中,与此同时,一场充满活力的民族复兴运动正在进行。今天,我们将探讨尤卡吉尔长老们是如何将个人转世的想法与“民族的重生”的比喻联系起来的,他们担心自己的民族会灭绝。在这种特殊的社会历史背景下,他们通过承认的概念将个人和集体的发展轨迹并列在一起,因为获得完整的人格和完整的人格都取决于被他人(生者和死者)和自己承认。
