- W2470103821 abstract "In this chapter I analyze how one subgroup of the Bhotiyas, the Darmani, practice mobility in the market-oriented border region of today’s Kumaon Himalaya. The chapter is divided into three major parts. In the first part I scrutinize how recent policy initiatives have influenced the manner in which the residents of the Darma valley use different ecological belts through seasonal migration. While mobile animal husbandry is increasingly recognized as a viable livelihood strategy, very little is known about the socio-cultural meanings, motivations and forms of agency that underpin the mobile practices of mountain pastoralists. In order to gain a deeper insight into these embodied facets of pastoral mobility, the second part analyzes a ritual sequence that unfolds between the time of sowing and harvest in the seasonally inhabited summer settlements. These rituals are intimately tied to a wide range of agro-pastoral work activities and visibly connected through the establishment, renewal and removal of sacred tree trunks, called alams. However, it is not only forest but also livestock resources that figure prominently in acts of ceremony. The role of the yak, as illustrated in the third part, once stood at the centre of the traditional mortuary ceremony, called gvan, where it acted as a fellow wayfarer of the departed soul on its way to the land of the dead. Whilst the whole ceremony has undergone significant change since colonial times and was eventually renamed as sarat, one key element endured: the recitation of an elaborated oral text that is performed to guide the newly departed soul on its journey into the beyond. The chapter shows how mobility-related rituals foster people’s responsiveness to the fluctuations of their dwelt-in environments: the seasonal cycle of weather conditions, the vegetative growth cycles of plants, and the life cycles of fellow human and other animal creatures. With a focus on the kinaesthetic and performative-poetic dimensions of this responsiveness, the study foregrounds the importance of bringing qualitative questions of meaning, value and purpose to bear in research on the numerous facets of mountain pastoralists’ mobility." @default.
