“…The awareness of being part of a multinational and multilingual State has long existed and must have been reiterated by Soviet ethnographers when the scholars embarked on expeditions to distant lands, reached out to the several groups dwelling in this territory, and classified and categorized practices, language and tales, customs, and so on (cf. Anderson 2000;Arzyutov and Kan 2017). Even though such categorization have been challenged (Blommaert and Rampton 2011), they are real for the citizens of Russia and this pushes me not to embrace an entirely (post)modern and deconstructive approach to my study (see Chapter 2 where I make reference to circulation of identities ).…”

This volume illustrates how language revival movements in Russia and elsewhere have often followed a specific pattern of literacy bias in the promotion of a minority's heritage language, partly neglecting the social and relational aspects of orality. Using the Vepsian Renaissance as an example, this volume brings to the surface a literacy-orality dualism new to the discussion around revival movements. In addition to the more-theoretically oriented scopes, this book addresses all the actors involved in revival movements including activists, scholars, and policy makers, and opens a discussion on literacy and orality, and power and agency in the multiple relational aspects of written and oral practices. This study addresses issues common to language revival movements worldwide and will appeal to researchers of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, education and language policy, and culture studies.Laura Siragusa is a linguistic anthropologist working within a program on Indigenous Studies at the University of Helsinki. She has co-edited a special issue on language sustainability for the journal Anthropologica and published miscellaneous articles on Vepsian matters in Sibirica, JEFUL , and Folklore.

This article discusses historical and anthropological approaches to the life of social science. After presenting the thematic of social science concepts that figure as found object in cultural anthropology, this review briefly introduces the domain of history of social science (HSS). It then examines HSS studies that could enrich anthropological encounters with social science concepts, both methodologically and through the vivid social histories of relevant concepts, categories, and methods. I complement my review of these approaches in HSS with a discussion of anthropological studies of social science concepts. I review both the historical and the anthropological literature with the same key questions, focused on the analytical tools that each approach brings to the study of social science: what conditions of emergence of these social imaginaries are incorporated in the analyses, what contexts and processes relevant to their appropriation and travel are presented, and how these enquiries examine the effects on the worlds in which they circulate. In my conclusion, I point out how cultural anthropology can uniquely contribute to the domain of HSS.

В этой статье рассматривается академический «жизненный путь» антрополога-коммуниста Фредерика Джорджа Годфри (Фреда) Роуза (1915–1991), биография которого была опубликована в 2015 г. Она написана в виде микроистории академической среды социалистических стран, частью которой был Роуз во время холодной войны в 1956–1989 годы. В свете недавних публикаций в России стали более понятны направления, по которым развивалась советская этнография в то время, и возникли новые вопросы о некоторых архивных пробелах и пропусках в документах Роуза. Недоверие и слежка были широко распространены в советских академических учреждениях, поэтому, будучи чужаком с Запада, Роуз использовал «тактический» подход, чтобы совместить академическую карьеру с личной преданностью марксизму в условиях коммунистической диктатуры, где официальной государственной идеологией была доктрина, известная как «марксизм-ленинизм».
