- Abstract
- The process of borrowing and dissemination of technological innovations in traditional cultures has been mostly examined in anthropology from two alternative standpoints: that of technoeconomic determinism favoring economic factors; and that of sociocultural causation taking cultural and social factors as bases for explanation. Deficiencies of both standpoints, as well as the necessity of integrating both into a more comprehensive explanatory model, have been long felt. Yet a model of the kind has not been elaborated to date. The article is an attempt at delineating possible ways for constructing such a model by taking the case of dissemination of GPS devices among the Nentsy of Tazovskaia tundra. The author breaks the process of borrowing and dissemination of innovations down into several stages where each is marked by a set of particular economic or social-cultural factors.
