| الوصف: | Harnessing Fortune explores the multiple meanings of personhood in the daily lives of the Hori Buriad, pastoral herders residing in Eastern Mongolia near the Russian border, by emphasizing unitary, as opposed to binary, relationships between the separation (blood, mobility), and containment (bone, replication) of fortune. "The concept of separating and containing fortune" provides "a window through which differing modes of relatedness can be discerned" (183). The book's introduction provides an overview of the area, including the urbanizing district center and the countryside; briefly explains the notion of location in a household; outlines the chapters; and delineates the major concepts that mutually shape the relationship between people and things among the Hori Buriad. The concise conclusion reintegrates the chapters, suggesting different ways of understanding personhood among the Buriad in Mongolia in relation to the existing anthropological literature, and a broader application for the study's findings. By casting previously conceived binaries, such as affinity and consanguinity, as "intertwined, consumed, and internal to each other" (325), the ethnographic material suggests that "the tension between separation and containment seems a motif that could be used to explore different spheres" (326). |
