Description
Summary:International audience This article is an attempt to understand what role spiritual matters play in the ideas and everyday life of a public figure quite famous in Western Siberia, the Forest Nenets writer, reindeer herder and activist Yuri Vella, and how the so-called religious practice is articulated in his life. In our reflection, we do not rely on any ad-hoc discourse, on issue-centred interviews, but on our fieldwork observation of speech and practice, a big part of which has been recorded on video with the aim of using it in the making of ethnographic films. Cet article est une tentative de comprendre le rôle des questions spirituelles dans les idées et dans la vie quotidienne d'une personnalité publique fort célèbre en Sibérie Occidentale, Jurij Vella, écrivain, militant et éleveur de rennes nénetse des forêts, et de voir comment la pratique religieuse s'articule dans sa vie. Dans notre réflexion, nous ne nous appuyons pas sur un discours ad hoc, sur des entretiens ciblés; nous partons de nos terrains, de notre observation de sa parole et de sa pratique, qui ont été largement filmées avec l'objectif de réaliser un film documentaire.
