The publication presents a discussion of the article “Elements of Northern Informal Fishing: Solidarity, Norms, Pink Salmon, Salmon”, in which the authors (K.Y. Kotkin, A.M. Sergeev, V.M. Voronov, V.V. Simonova) analyze informal fishing in the Murmansk region by referring to the concept of M. Delanda, associated with the concept of horizontal ontology as an alternative to traditional vertical constructions that advocate a hierarchical understanding of the world and the exclusivity of man. According to the authors of the article under discussion, M. Delanda's horizontal ontology makes it possible to consider the different-level components of fishing in two interdependent axes (“material-expressive” and “synthetic-variant”), which allow us to analyze the problem of the lack of positive attitude to the abundance of pink salmon, which is one of the most significant material components of the assemblage of informal fishing in the Murmansk region. The following critical comments are presented in the discussion: “Scientific fashion as conceptual bricolage” (S.V. Sokolovsky), “About fish and assemblages in the Murmansk region” (N.S. Goncharov), “Delanda ‘eats’ pink salmon: the kidnapping of anthropology by a supposedly ‘new’ social ontology” (A.G. Kuznetsov), as well as a rejoinder-reply by the authors of the discussed article (“Figures and background, or about the logic of the growth of reviews”).
