Abstract

Drawing on ethnographic field research in Chukotka, Russia, this article explores ideas and practices connected with the Arctic tundra vegetation that speak to its place in Chukchi spirituality and cultural milieu. The ethnographic focus is on a Chukchi remembrance ceremony with other social contexts of human–plant interaction offered as comparative examples. Contributing novel insight for the considerations of sentient landscapes and ceremonial engagements with plants, the article turns to the Chukchi eco-spiritual relationships in the beyond-the-human world. It suggests that the vegetation cover is not merely an assemblage of fungi and plants, but an organismal membrane through which the tundra communicates and acts, while also facilitating integrations between the human and beyond-the-human worlds.

为植物看苔原，论北极植被的生态精神完整性

本文借鉴俄罗斯楚科奇的民族志实地研究，探讨了与北极苔原植被有关的思想和实践，这些思想和实践表明了它在楚科奇精神和文化环境中的地位。民族志的重点是楚科奇纪念仪式，并提供了其他人与植物互动的社会背景作为比较例子。文章对人类世界之外的楚科奇生态精神关系进行了探讨，为感知景观和与植物的仪式性接触提供了新颖的见解。这表明，植被覆盖层不仅仅是真菌和植物的集合，而是苔原交流和活动的有机膜，同时也促进了人类和人类世界之外的融合。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
