The Stark Carpathians: Ritual, Text, and Authority Among Ukrainians Hutsuls delves into the intricate tapestry of rituals and texts within a picturesque mountainous region nestled in present-day Ukraine. The inhabitants of this secluded locale are affectionately referred to as the Hutsuls. This captivating book posits that Hutsul rituals and texts, often portrayed as ancient and extraordinary, possess more mundane origins. They emerged through the interplay between the residents of this remote region and lowland institutions, gradually solidifying as the bedrock of everyday existence. The interplay between words and symbolic actions was fraught with tension, stemming from ongoing contests over authority. These contests were multifaceted, involving distant officials, recalcitrant locals, and a diverse array of information sources, all of which played pivotal roles in shaping rituals and texts. The Hutsuls, renowned for their prolific literary output, engaged in wide-ranging discussions covering a diverse spectrum of topics, including agriculture, astrology, mass gymnastics, divine punishment, witches, and vampires. This comprehensive volume meticulously explores these and other captivating discussions in their minute details, while also delving into the fullness and irreducible complexity of texts and rituals. By transcending traditional lines of inquiry and traversing the winding trails that lead to divergent ends within the region, this book provides invaluable insights into the broader Hutsul world. Ultimately, the study of Hutsul creations sheds light on the study of rituals and texts in diverse regions far removed from the majestic Carpathian Mountains.
