Plural World Interpretations are part of our everyday
lives, even if we are not aware of the
fact. They result from the simultaneous existence of
different but equal models for interpreting the world
we live in. These models are the product of human
constructivity and co-exist as parallel realities,
complementing and contradicting each other. Based on
fieldwork among the Tyva of southern Siberia, the book
discusses the practice of dealing with this
multiplicity of world interpretations and shows how
individual actors oscillate flexibly between two of
many possible models for interpreting specific
situations and act on them. The rules Tyvans apply in
varying contexts, the reasons behind their choices and
the consequences they have to deal with, are analysed.
The result is an account of contemporary culture that
explores the flexibility and plurality of human
interpretation, action and behaviour.
