Jerónimo College, 3004-530 Coimbra, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present a view of the geomorphological heritage of the municipality of João Pessoa, northern Brazil, in order to insert potential geomorphosites in urban geotouristic routes. This city is part of a sedimentary basin that developed on a failed crystalline basement, whose Plio- Pleistocene reactivation resulted in a stepped substrate, and the terrain has urban geotouristic potential from the point of view of its geomorphological heritage. The relief was fragmented into three major morphosculptural units: coastal plains and tablelands, limited by the slopes, all with their potential geomorphosites, developed at various scales and presented here in. Keywords: Geomorphological Heritage, Potential Geomorphosites, Locals of Geotouristic Interest, João Pessoa, Urban Geotourism. * * * * * * INTRODUCTION

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

    BEÜ İİBF AİD, 2019; 4(2), 253-263 Araştırma Makalesi/Research Article . The Influence of the State Yettishara in Central Asia and the Russian Empire Yedişehir Devletinin Orta Asya ve Rusya İmparatorluğu'ndaki Etkisi Gulzada O. CHARGINOVA* Abstract The article focuses on the influence of the state Yettishar in the 60-70s of the XIX century on Kazakhs and Kyrgyz peoplewho were in the possession of the Russian Empire. For the purpose of disclosing this problem, the materials of the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Central State Archives of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Central State Archive of the Kyrgyz Republic were used. The formation of the state of Yettishar had a significant impact on Kazakhs and Kyrgyz of the Russian Empire. Representatives of Kazakh and Kyrgyz nation, who opposed the Russian colonization in Central Asia, went to the state of Yettishar for support. However, they failed to achieve their goals in connection with internal strife and actions of the Qing Empire aimed at restoration of power of in Kashgariya. Yakub-bek appointed noble Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, who moved to the state of Yettishar, to major positions. Later, due to the collapse of the state of Yettishar, many of them returned to their homeland. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yettishar, Yakub-bek, Kashgariya, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz. Öz Makalede, XIX. Yüzyılın 60-70'li yıllarında Yedişehir devletinin, Rusya İmparatorluğu'nun egemenliği altındaki Kazak ve Kırgızlar üzerindeki etkisine odaklanılmıştır.

However, this change resulted in clan politics at both the elite and individual levels, which have become an integral part of today’s clan divisions in modern Qazaq society. The main purpose of this paper is to explore how contemporary young Qazaqs perceive Zhuz and Ru clan-based kinship divisions to affect them.

    G ulnar Kendirbaeva Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan Folklore and Folklorism in Kazakhstan Abstract In the sphere of traditional Kazakh folk art we can identify the following sub­ spheres : a) the oral tradition itself, i.e., the traditional musical and poetical art of the Kazakhs; b) folklorism “ from above,” i.e., ideological (political) folklorism; c) folklorism “ from below,” i.e., that which appears in both city and village under the influence of folk art (pop music, “ amateur talent activities，” professional art, ideological folklorism, and “ scientific folklorism,” etc.); d) “ scientific folklor­ ism,i.e., authentic folklore that is consciously studied, reproduced, and popu­ larized by specialists and amateurs in order to better understand and preserve it. Analysis of the modern situation of Kazakh musical folk art shows the leading role of Kazakh traditional musical and poetical art. There are two reasons for this: a) the high professionalism of the Kazakh oral tradition, developed over the course of centuries; b) the relatively late appearance of urbanization in Kazakhstan, and its confinement to a relatively small portion of the native population. Under the present conditions of growing urbanization, falling numbers of folklore bearers, shrinking spheres of traditional folklore, and the negative influence of ideological folklorism, “ scientific folklorism” may be the only way to preserve and understand authentic folklore. Scientific folklorism also plays the important role of encouraging the modern development of the folklore itself. Key

  • PRESENT SITUATION of KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 8-9, 2002 PRESENT SITUATION OF KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D (Mongolia) The name and identity “kazakh” emerged in the sixteenth century, when a Kazakh Khanate was founded in today’s Kazakhstan. The Kazakh aristocrats trace their origin directly to Chinggis Khan or his sons. In the sixteenth century, ethnic Kazakhs were historically divided into three clans or zhuzes: The senior zhuz, the middle zhuz, and the junior zhuz. Once under the rule of the Oirad Mongols in the seventeenth to eighteen centuries, some middle zhuz Kazakhs later moved into Jungaria. The Kazakhs in Mongolia are mostly Abak-kerei and Naiman Kazakhs who settled in the Altai and Khovd regions, where they rented pasture from the lords of Mongolia during the 1860s according to Tarbagatai Protokol between Russia and Qing Dynasty. The nomads came to graze their sheep on the high mountain pastures during the summer, and spent the winter in Kazakhstan or Xinjiang province in China. After the Mongolian revolution in 1921, a permanent border was drawn by agreement between China, Russia and Mongolia, but the Kazakhs remained nomadic until the 1930s, crossing the border at their own will.1 The word kazakh is said to mean ‘free warrior’ or ‘steppe roamer’. Kazakhs trace their roots to the fifteenth century, when rebellious kinsmen of an Uzbek Khan broke away and settled in present-day Kazakhstan. In Mongolia, more than in Kazakhstan, Kazakh women wear long dresses with stand-up collars, or brightly decorated velvet waistcoats and heavy jewelry. The men still wear baggy shirts and trousers, sleeveless jackets, wool or cotton robes, and a skullcap or a high, tasseled felt hat.2 In 1923 the Mongolian Kazakh population numbered 1,870 households and 11,220 people.3 Subsequently, many more have come to Mongolia from 3 Paul Greenway, Robert Story and Gobriel Lafitte (1997), Mongolia (Lonely Planet Publications), p.231.
