Download or read book In the Eye of the Wild written by Nastassja Martin and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After enduring a vicious bear attack in the Russian Far East's Kamchatka Peninsula, a French anthropologist undergoes a physical and spiritual transformation that forces her to confront the tenuous distinction between animal and human. In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin’s near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin’s professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. In the course of that encounter something in the balance of her world shifts. A change takes place that she must somehow reckon with. Left severely mutilated, dazed with pain, Martin undergoes multiple operations in a provincial Russian hospital, while also being grilled by the secret police. Back in France, she finds herself back on the operating table, a source of new trauma. She realizes that the only thing for her to do is to return to Kamchatka. She must discover what it means to have become, as the Even people call it, medka, a person who is half human, half bear. In the Eye of the Wild is a fascinating, mind-altering book about terror, pain, endurance, and self-transformation, comparable in its intensity of perception and originality of style to J. A. Baker’s classic The Peregrine. Here Nastassja Martin takes us to the farthest limits of human being.

Download or read book Aboriginal Cultures in Alberta written by Susan Berry and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2004-06-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heavily illustrated, full colour book uses the framework of historical narrative to elucidate the past 11,000 years of Aboriginal history in present-day Alberta. In so doing, it conveys the challenges that Aboriginal people have confronted and celebrates the enduring legacy that they have created. From medicine wheels, buffalo jumps, and rock art images, the story moves forward through the fur trade era, the disappearance of the bison, and the long years of cultural suppression that followed the signing of treaties. Importantly, the story carries through to the present day, exploring grassroots political and cultural movements of the 1960s, contemporary self-government initiatives, and the ongoing reclamation of Aboriginal voice. Aboriginal Cultures in Alberta: Five Hundred Generations also showcases the diversity of Aboriginal groups in Alberta. The book was developed in consultation with and features the experiences and perspectives of Elders and representatives from First Nations and Metis communities throughout the province. With its recognition that Aboriginal people are a vital part of contemporary society, Aboriginal Cultures in Alberta: Five Hundred Generations makes an important contribution toward fostering an understanding of Aboriginal history and culture in Alberta.
