Eurasian Studies we are moving closer to the coverage we set forth at the launch in March this year; next to the existing columns we are introducing new ones. With LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES we are aiming to explore and identify ways of teaching languages that have a fundamentally different structure than the so‐called Indo‐European ones; hence teaching those needs a different approach, too. As a side‐effect, the inner core and logic of these languages is also revealed. CLASSICAL WRITINGS ON EURASIA is reserved to papers or other works created in the past that represent a high scientific value; both published and unpublished writings will be made available electronically through this column. The NEWS BRIEF column features the latest news on Eurasia in a wide range of topics in a compressed format, the source included. We thank those who contributed to its creation and we believe that our readers will find it valuable. We also created a new page wherein you can find all resources that we

    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 301 May, 2020 Archaeological Perspectives on the Early Relations of the Korean Peninsula with the Eurasian Steppe by Kang, In Uk Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out for peer review, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

  • The Responses of Pope Nicholas I to the Questions of the Bulgars AD
    The Responses of Pope Nicholas I to the Questions of the Bulgars A.D. 866 (Letter 99) Translated by W. L. North from the edition of Ernest Perels, in MGH Epistolae VI, Berlin, 1925, pp.568-600. Introduction Since the sixth century, the Bulgars had known intermittent contact with the Christians of the surrounding nations, whether as merchants or prisoners-of-war or through diplomatic relations. During the later eighth and early ninth century, the Christian population in Bulgar lands increased so much that Christians were rumored to have influence at the court of Khan Krum (802-814); they were also persecuted under Khan Omortag (814-31). The Bulgars continued to remain "officially" pagan until the reign of Khan Boris, who came to power around 852. Several factors may have led Khan Boris to assume a more favorable attitude towards Christianity. First, Christianity offered a belief-system that transcended — at least potentially — cultural or ethnic boundaries and thereby offered a means not only to unify Bulgaria's disparate populations but also to secure legitimacy and respect with Byzantium and the West. The ideology of Christian rulership also enhanced the position of the prince vis-à-vis his subjects including the often contentious boyars. Furthermore, Boris' sister had converted to Christianity while a hostage in Constantinople and may have influenced her brother. Finally, Boris himself seems to have been attracted to Christian beliefs and practices, as evidenced by the seriousness with which he pursued the conversion of his people. Boris' move towards Christianity seems to have begun in earnest with the opening of negotiations in 862 between himself and Louis the German for an alliance against Ratislav of Moravia.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research.

  • HUNLARIN BİRİNCİ BÖLÜNÜŞ DEVRESİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME an Analysis on the First Split of Xiongnu Анализ О Первом Этапе Разделения Гуннов
    HUNLARIN BİRİNCİ BÖLÜNÜŞ DEVRESİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME An Analysis on the First Split of Xiongnu Анализ о первом этапе разделения Гуннов Konuralp ERCİLASUN* Gazi Türkiyat, Güz 2014/15: 13-32 Özet: Hunların M.Ö. 54’te gerçekleşen birinci bölünmesi gerek Türk ve Çin tarihleri gerekse dünya ta- rihi için önem arz eder. Türk tarihi açısından bir büyük hâkimiyetin mirasçıları bölünmüş ve güç kay- bedilmiştir. Makalede öncelikle bölünmenin sebepleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bölünmenin gerçekleşme- sinden sonra Huhanye güneye gidip Çin’e bağlılık bildirmiştir. Makalede ikinci olarak Güney Hunları olarak adlandırılan bu grubun Çin ile olan bağlılık ilişkilerinin unsurları ele alınmıştır. Bu unsurların bir vassallık statüsünü gösterdiği makalede savunulmaktadır. Diğer yandan vassallıktan kurtuluşun ne zaman gerçekleştiği bugüne kadar net olarak ortaya konmamıştır. Makalede bu konu tartışılarak Hun- ların ikinci hükümranlık döneminin başlangıcı tayin edilmiştir. Son olarak da Hunların ikinci hüküm- ranlık döneminin başlangıcı ile ilgili Çin kaynakları değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Hunlar, Çanyü, Huhanye, Cıcı, Han Abstract: The first split of Xiongnu in BC 54 is an important event not only in the Turkic and Chinese histories but also it is an important turning point for the global history. The late successors of Motun could not reach an understanding and their split resulted in a great catastrophe. The reasons of the split are discussed in the article. After the split, one portion of the Xiongnu migrated to the South and be- came dependent on the Han dynasty of China. In addition, the characteristic of this dependency is ana- lysed in the article. Moreover, the disengagement and the beginning of the second period of the Xiongnu rule are studied.

Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.
