Dear Magda,
Do you need a reference to the 'world' as a place of contradictions, etc,
or to a sense of (local) place perceived as full of contradictions and
ambiguities? If it is the latter, I just submitted a revised version of
paper titled, 'Living in two places: permanent transience in the Magadan
region, Russia Far East' to Alaska Journal of Anthropology. The paper deals
with the feeling of profound ambivalence (permanent/temporary) on the part
of many (non-Native) inhabitants of that region with regards to that place,
which partly stems from the ambivalence and contradictions rooted in the
state policy of populating this area and partly from 'narratives-models',
local public discourses that guide individual action.
Please let me know if you are interested and I'll send you a copy when it's
ready.
Best wishes,
Elena
