Doctoral Dissertation Research: Kinship, Economic Organization, and Ethnicity Among the Dolgan of Arctic Siberia

本论文的研究项目将检验西伯利亚民族与俄罗斯和全球市场经济日益融合的命题。尽管微观经济理论和人种学报告在许多地区支持这一假设，但有理由质疑西伯利亚北部的假设。自苏联解体以来，西伯利亚各地的土著居民开始建立“家庭和宗族”农场。他们正在取代国营农场经济，可能代表着当地人民更大的自治权。该项目将从乌斯特阿万社区的住户调查、访谈和参与性观察中获得定量和定性数据。这些数据将用于分析和比较家庭/氏族农场与国家农场制度、交换模式、土地和资源使用模式以及种族。

ABSTRACT OPP-9528936 Chagnon/Ziker This dissertation research project will test the proposition that Siberian peoples are becoming more integrated with the Russian and global market economy. Although microeconomic theory and ethnographic reports support this hypothesis for many regions, there is reason to question it for the Siberian north. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, native people across Siberia are instituting "family and clan" farms. They are replacing the State Farm economy and may represent greater autonomy on the part of native people. The project will generate both quantitative and qualitative data from household surveys, interviews and participant observation in the community of Ust Avan. These data will be used to analyze and compare family/clan farms with the State Farm system, modes of exchange, patterns of land and resource use and ethnicity.
