Description
This book examines the existence of the Yakutian young ones as silenced inhabitance a “negative space” of fear and myths driven narratives, that contradictio in contrarium would claim their space in the global dialogue of the changing social climates.
Enchanted Forest of the Sakha-land sheds light to the vulnerable and represent social groups: children and women of Yakutia. The evidential truth although interwoven with the local folkloric tradition and saturated in superstitions, it represents real traumas and the sequence of lost identities and lives. Western tradition considers the study of children and childhood as a premise for the study of human development. The development of the idea of childhood in Western thought is linked to the concept of selfhood and the psychology of memory. Thus, the study of a child's development becomes a prerequisite for understanding the modern human.
