 Malgorzata Stelmaszyk: Living the dream: shamanic crossings and climate 
 crisis among Nanai in the Siberian Far East \n\nThis presentation is abo
 ut the ways in which shamans undertake cosmo-political experiments as on
 e of the strategies in navigating the current climatic crisis in the Amu
 r region of Far East Siberia. It critically reflects on the ways in whic
 h shamanic practice is discussed in the context of environmental degrada
 tion via protest politics and/or explanatory paradigms confined to the b
 oundaries of one cosmology and one rather than multiple forms of knowled
 ge. Bringing together the agentive power of dreams among Nanai as intert
 wined with a dynamic collaboration between a shaman and an orthodox prie
 st\, it discusses the ways in which shamans engage in political ecology 
 while materialising fragile connections between different pieces of onto
 -epistemic systems. Focusing further on the tensions that these encounte
 rs produce\, the presentations provides an opportunity to reflect furthe
 r on conceptual models addressing cross-disciplinary commitments in rela
 tion to climate change and the place of shamanic thought and practice wi
 thin them.
