FURTHER READING

To place this Artscape’s autumn atmosphere within a wider discussion of cultural expression, Letter from Mongolia 05: Poetics considers cultural eloquence and inter-textuality through a scholarly and philological lens.

In seasonal contrast, Out and About 19: Khui Doloon Khudag: Naadam on the Open Steppe shifts from Nukht’s quiet autumn mist to the pastoral vitality and collective energy of Naadam in the Mongolian summer.

For the methodological challenge of recording fleeting moments in their particular time and place, Letter from Mongolia 30: Writing Cultural Differencee considers thick description and footnoting as part of ethnographic practice.
