Synopsis "Nomadic Life in Mongolia ― Stories of the Enkhbat Family and Their Belongings (in Japonés)"
Whenever a photo book mentions "the Mongol Nomad", you may suppose it would be a book showing the peoples who are living in a steppe with livestock. Instead, this book focuses on the relationship between nomadic people and their belongings. What kind of things exist in their living world? How nomadic peoples recognize and treat those things? This book describes the daily lives of Mongol nomads through their material culture which has not been basked in the limelight so far.Using data collected through cultural anthropology fieldwork, this book shows photos of a nomadic family and their belongings, as well as narratives told by the family members concerning those belongings. These narratives introduce the family history. Through the story of the Enkhbat family and their belongings, you will be familiar with the nomadic life in modern Mongolia.モンゴル遊牧民の写真集というと、大草原の中で家畜の群と共に暮らす人々の姿を写し出したもの、と想像されるのではないだろうか。しかしながら、本書が焦点を当てているのは、遊牧民とその生活世界にあるモノとの関係である。遊牧民の生活世界には一体どのようなモノが存在し、彼らはそれらのモノをどのように捉え、扱っているのか。これまであまり脚光をあびることがなかったモンゴル遊牧民の物質文化から、彼らの日常生活を描き出す。本書は、文化人類学のフィールド調査によって収集された、遊牧民一家と彼らの生活世界にあるモノの写真、およびそれらのモノに関する家族自身の語りによって構成されている。「モノ語り」からは家族の歴史が垣間見える。エンフバト一家を通して、現代モンゴル遊牧民の暮らしが身近に感じられるだろう。
