Description
Summary:International audience Comparing practises with representations, this paper attempts to distinguish fact from fiction among the discourses about the Yakut horse, an extraordinary animal, considered as more deserving of respect than other species (mammoths, pigs, sheep, camels, reindeer and cows) for many uses and which is bred in a very special way in the northernmost part of the Turkic area. Confrontant pratiques et représentations, l’article tente de démêler le vrai du faux parmi les discours tenus sur le cheval iakoute, un animal extraordinaire, jugé plus méritant que bien d’autres espèces (mammouth, porc, mouton, chameau, renne et vache) dans les domaines les plus variés, et qui fait l’objet d’un élevage original, dans les confins septentrionaux du monde turcique.
