description |
International audience Pastoralism, the traditional activity of Turkic-Mongol peoples in Siberia and Central Asia, has created structural discontinuities in the apparently homogeneous steppe area. Through their stable and regular nomadic routes, herdsmen divide the space into seasonal pastures, assessing the quality of lands according to the needs of livestock in a given season. The analysis of various forms of nomadic pastoralism practiced at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by Turkmens, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Khakas, Buryats, Tuvans, Mongolians and Yakuts, refines this model and identifies several types of nomadism, based on the residential patterns, the form of routes, and the frequency and amplitude of movements. Questioning several received ideas about nomadic pastoralism, the author shows that, although livestock is the main impulse of nomadism, there is no direct and unambiguous correlation (whether synchronic or diachronic) between the mobility of people and that of livestock. Pastoralism and nomadism are thus shown to be connected but distinct phenomena. Le pastoralisme, activité traditionnelle des peuples turco-mongols de Sibérie et d’Asie centrale, a créé des discontinuités qui ont structuré l’espace apparemment homogène de la steppe.
