12 The role of the Daur politician Merse – Guo Daofu in the social and political life of early 20th century Inner Mongolia Kateřina Zikmundová (Charles University, Prague)

The present paper deals with the popular Inner Mongolian politician of Daur descent – Merse (Guo Daofu), a key figure of Inner Mongolian poltical scene in the turbulent period of the 20s of the 20th century. After a brief introduction to Merse’s “life and times”I will focus on the role and impact of Merse’s public activities and their evaluation by his contemporaries as well as members of later generations, based on interviews collected during my fieldwork (mainly) in Inner Mongolia. The crutial material is an lengthy interview with Merse’s late daughther Odongowa recorded in in 2015 in the course of conducting field research supporting my B.A. thesis.

13 Past and Present of Dagur songs Veronika Kapišovská (Charles University, Prague)

Songs are an ever-present part of the folkloristic material collected by researchers during the folkloristic and linguistic field-research. In such a way the earliest known samples of songs of Dagurs (or Daurs). were published in linguistic transcription by N. Poppe in 1930 and a few Dagur songs were recorded by H. Haslund-Christensen in 1938 (Emsheimer 1943). In the present paper I compare these songs to the material collected mainly during my field research in summer 2016 and fall 2017. The song recordings and interviews taken during this field- work provide the basis for study of the change of the Dagur vocal tradition wthin almost a century. In the paper I will focus on both textual and musicological aspects of these processes. Furthermore, keeping of song-books by the native singers and it's impact on preser- vation of the vocal traditions will be discussed.

14 Some observations on Buryad speech of a native speaker of Dagur Jargal Badagarov (Universität Heidelberg)

Buryad and Dagur share common elements of areal character. The exact story in most cases is obscure: we can only establish the facts and speculate with some degree of plausibility on reasons behind those facts. A new data on Buryad speech of a native Dagur speaker gives us valuable material on language contact in this area. The paper discusses the most prominent linguistic features of Buryad speech performed by a Dagur person, who learned it as an adult, focusing on the ways his native tongue could have influenced it.

15 Some etymological remarks on the Dagur body parts names Bayarma Khabtagaeva (Free Universty Berlin & University of Szeged)

According to linguistic classification, Dagur is one of the archaic Mon- golic languages. This language is unique, it is connected with Old Mongol language, Khitan and, additionally, it has a close relationship with Manchu and Solon Ewenki - two . The last mentioned fact gave rise to the opinion that Dagur belonged in the Tungusic which has a strong Mongolic influence. The aim of my presentation is to analyze the Dagur body parts names from an etymological aspect. The terms show the heterogeneous pictu- re: the most of them are of Common Mongolic origin (e.g. nid ‘eye’, xus ‘hair’, čiky ‘ear’) representing the archaic phonetic features as the preservation of h- or not-assimilated vowel i. A separate group includes Tungusic borrowings (e.g. darama ‘back, loin’, kurmul- te ‘eyelid’) from Manchu and Solon Ewenki. There is a number of words of unknown origin and specific words with Dagur internal develop- ment (e.g. beslēr ‘loin’ < *büse ‘belt’). The presentation tries to shed light on the case how body part names may play a role in the determination of Dagur language’s place among other .

16 Structural analysis of the Daur versions of the ‘Account of the Nishan shamaness’ José Andrés, Alonso de la Fuente (Jagellonian University, Kraków) Veronika Zikmundová (Charles University, Prague)

Although traditionally (and, sometimes, exclusively) seen as the most famous Manchu vernacular text, the so-called "Account of the Nishan shamaness" is documented also in various languages of the Far East. The Daur versions hold a particular place in Nishanology because of the number of variants available and their extension. The present contribution seeks to compare them within the Daur sphere and beyond. The approach to be adopted is eminently structural: we will focus on the episodic organization of the texts, as well as on the presence of native (i.e., Daur) vs. non-native elements. The systematic description and analysis of the existing differences and similarities reveal, as we argue here, that in spite of local flavor, they all heavily rely on the Manchu model.

17 The Daur version of Nisan saman and modern shamanic practices among the Daur David Somfai Kara (Budapest)

We have very limited information about the shamanic traditions of the Daurs of (Hailar and Chichihar regions). I have managed to conduct fieldwork among the Daurs in 2007 and 2009. By doing so I have realized that modern Daur shamanic practices are changing fundamentally and may of the traditional aspects of Daur and Manchu shamanic folklore are being replaced by influences from other local indigenous peoples of the region, especially the Bargu and Buriad Mongols (including the Mongolic speaking Khamnigan). In my paper I attempt to analyze the Daur version of Nisan saman, an important part of Daur shamanic folklore that can be found among other indigenous peoples of Manchuria (Manchu, Nanai/Hezheni, Solon-Evenki/Hon- gkur). I will try to argue how fundamental concepts of the mythological background of the story is being replaced by modern shamanic practi- ces in the 21th by the new generation of shamans.
