Abstract

The scope of this paper is bifold. First of all, our aim is to introduce nonalphabetic writings, that is, ideographic and pictographic signs and texts prevalent throughout the historical and contemporary regions of Siberia and North Eurasia among Indigenous communities. Specifically, we analyze writing practices, including signs, drawings, and different texts among Nenets, an Indigenous Samoyedic group, in the North of Eurasia. Secondly, we contend that the yet-to-be-compiled corpus of these inscriptive practices could substantially enrich current Slavic and Eurasian Literature Studies with fresh perspectives, materials, and theoretical insights. The paper draws upon the analysis of the authors’ archival, field, and second-hand materials.
