The concept of \"ethnoareal groups\" designates regional subgroups of a single ethnic community defined by a combination of territorial, dialectal, and cultural characteristics, and the Komi people, dispersed across a vast zone from the Pechora basin to the northern Urals, offer an exceptionally varied case for this kind of internal ethno-geographic differentiation. Five chapters examine the traditional economy and ethnocultural stereotypes of the Komi people as a whole; the formation of distinct ethnoareal groups through processes of economic adaptation to varied ecological niches; material culture as a criterion of group differentiation; the social structure of established stable ethnoareal Komi groups; and the ethnic self-consciousness of the ethnoareal groups. Appendices provide supporting materials. Published in 1991 - the final year of the Soviet Union - at a moment when ethnographic scholarship on indigenous peoples of Russia was beginning to break free of Soviet ideological constraints, and questions of ethnic identity and self-consciousness were acquiring new urgency. The Komi Scientific Centre in Syktyvkar, through whose Academic Council the book was approved, is the principal institution for the study of Komi history, language, and culture. Of interest to researchers in Finno-Ugric studies, Soviet and Russian ethnography, indigenous peoples of Russia, and the ethnohistory of the northeastern European Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44346700988458,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_3527.jpg?v=1778473006","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/konakov-n-d-kotov-o-v-ethnoareal-groups-of-the-komi-formation-and-contemporary-ethnocultural-state-etnoarealnye-gruppy-komi-1991-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
