Understandably, this debate has mainly drawn on \u201coverseas\u201d entanglements and interactions between Global South and Global North. However, colonial and decolonial perspectives from what some have called \u201cthe North beyond the Global North\u201d can offer some unexpected views and bring lesser-known voices into this debate.<\/p>\n<p>Sketching out eight short episodes from the early 18<sup>th<\/sup> century to the present, this presentation will show how the past and present of ethnographic research and anthropological theory cannot be separated from colonial, imperial, and geopolitical ambitions; nor can it be separated from large-scale social engineering. Simultaneously, this lecture will exemplify how anthropology in and about Siberia has been a platform for counter-discourses, political emancipation, and critique against state policies. These ambivalences have induced some colleagues to ask about similarities and distinctions between postsocialist and postcolonial scholarship. Moreover, in the light of historical \u201copenings\u201d and \u201cclosures\u201d of transnational Indigenous ties and academic partnership, it is relevant to ask what the future of anthropology and activism may look like in Siberia in times of heightened geopolitical tension.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11769\" style=\"width: 747px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11769\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11769\" src=\"https:\/\/boasblogs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/habeck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"737\" height=\"350\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many ethnographers in Siberia in the 1920s were involved in census taking, thereby making Indigenous groups \u201clegible\u201d to the Soviet state.
