Accepted Paper:
Dreams and movement among the northern hunters
Art Leete
(University of Tartu)
Paper short abstract:
I aim to discuss the ways in which dreams influence the Arctic hunters' movement patterns and choices in their lives.
Paper long abstract:
The northern people think that there is much truth in dreams. A person who is awake and fully conscious can never tell the truth precisely, s/he always lies a little bit. I intend to explore dreams' authority over people's actions. I use the northern people's narratives about dreams and dream-like experiences for analysing how hunters adopt short-term hunting tactics but also make long travels and accept new roles in a local community.
