Nowhere have recent environmental and social changes been more
pronounced than in post-Soviet Siberia. Donatas Brandisauskas
probes the strategies that Orochen reindeer herders of southeastern
Siberia have developed to navigate these changes. "Catching luck"
is one such strategy that plays a central role in Orochen cosmology
-- luck implies a vernacular theory of causality based on active
interactions of humans, non-humans, material objects, and places.
Brandisauskas describes in rich details the skills, knowledge,
ritual practices, storytelling, and movements that enable the
Orochen to "catch luck" (or not, sometimes), to navigate times of
change and upheaval.
