Deixis and Reference Tracing in Tsova-Tush (PDF)
DEIXIS AND REFERENCE TRACKING IN TSOVA-TUSH A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN LINGUISTICS MAY 2020 by Bryn Hauk Dissertation committee: Andrea Berez-Kroeker, Chairperson Alice C. Harris Bradley McDonnell James N. Collins Ashley Maynard Acknowledgments I should not have been able to finish this dissertation. In the course of my graduate studies, enough obstacles have sprung up in my path that the odds would have predicted something other than a successful completion of my degree. The fact that I made it to this point is a testament to thekind, supportive, wise, and generous people who have picked me up and dusted me off after every pothole. Forgive me: these thank-yous are going to get very sappy. First and foremost, I would like to thank my Tsova-Tush host family—Rezo Orbetishvili, Nisa Baxtarishvili, and of course Tamar and Lasha—for letting me join your family every summer forthe past four years. Your time, your patience, your expertise, your hospitality, your sense of humor, your lovingly prepared meals and generously poured wine—these were the building blocks that supported all of my research whims. My sincerest gratitude also goes to Dantes Echishvili, Revaz Shankishvili, and to all my hosts and friends in Zemo Alvani. It is possible to translate ‘thank you’ as მადელ შუნ, but you have taught me that gratitude is better expressed with actions than with set phrases, sofor now I will just say, ღაზიშ ხილჰათ, ბედნიერ ხილჰათ, მარშმაკიშ ხილჰათ.. -
Ethnobiology of Georgia
SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

The Best of the Georgian Caucasus July 19 – 31, 2020 (13 Days)
The Best of the Georgian Caucasus July 19 – 31, 2020 (13 days) The Caucasus, one of the world’s extraordinary mountain domains, is the setting for our hiking trip that explores two distinctly different mountain regions of Georgia: dramatic Khevsureti and the even more remote mountain valleys of Tusheti, a hidden “Shangri-La” defended by ancient stone towers, reminders of the not-so-distant past. Still largely untouched, Tusheti is a magnet for those seeking a mosaic of fascinating cultures and superb scenery. For centuries, these areas have been home to venerable mountain clans whose traditions include extending a rich hospitality to visitors (in fact, their hospitality borders on the compulsive—be prepared to accept profuse offerings of food and wine!). Our trek takes us from one historical village to the next, with a chance to meet local people, hear their haunting melodies, listen to poetry, and sleep under the starry sky or stay with them in their traditional homes. Our trip ends in the lowlands of Khakheti province, famed as the birthplace of winemaking. TRIP DETAILS Moderate to Strenuous6 days moderate to strenuous hiking at medium elevation (maximum 11,254 feet); 3 nights hotels, 5 nights guesthouses, 4 nights camping ITINERARY (You will need to leave the U.S. on July 18, in order to arrive in Tbilisi on July 19.) Day 1, July 19 Tbilisi, Georgia Arrive early morning in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. You will be met outside of customs by a Cattara representative and transferred to your hotel, located in the old part of town. -
Connecting Tusheti
Connecting Tusheti The Impact of Community Networking in Europe’s Highest Settlements Connecting This report was prepared by Nino Nanitashvili (independent consultant) and edited by Mike Jensen (Association for Progressive Communications) on behalf of Internet Society. It was made possible through the advisory and logistical support of Maarit Palovirta and Jane Coffin (Internet Society); Irakli(Rati) Kochlamazashvili, Natia Gogotidze and Zurab Babulaidze (Tusheti Development Fund); Ucha Seturi (Small and Medium Telecom Operators Association of Georgia (TOA)), and Nicola Bidwell (Association for Progressive Communications). The photos included in the report were taken by Jake Borden in Tusheti, during August 2018. © Internet Society | Jake Borden Photography Connecting Tusheti The Impact of Community Networking in Europe’s Highest Settlements Dec 2 2018 Connecting Tusheti Introduction Tusheti is one of the highest and most isolated settlements in Europe — an ecologically unspoiled community of historical and cultural significance in the Greater Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. The area’s sparse population and rugged topography has meant that it has been left unconnected by commercial operators for both Internet and often mobile voice services. To help address the isolation of the area, an independent locally operated wireless Internet service was set up in August 2017 with in-kind support from members of the community, the Georgian Telecom Operators Association, the ISOC Georgia Chapter and other local stakeholders as well as financial support from Internet Society (ISOC). A year later, the Internet service continues to operate and has already provided a variety of benefits to Tusheti’s residents and visitors, particularly in the hospitality sector. These and other impacts and outcomes are described below in more detail in this status report which examines how access to the Internet in remote and rural areas such as Tusheti can help to foster social and economic development. -
Georgia – the Caucasus
Georgia – The Caucasus TREK OVERVIEW Stretching from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains form a natural barrier between Georgia and Russia to the north. Our itinerary takes you deep into the remote provinces of Khevi, Khevsureti and Tusheti, some of the most unspoilt regions of the Caucasus range where tourism is still very much in its infancy. Four wheel drive tracks take us deep into the mountains and on foot, with pony support we penetrate even deeper, crossing several high passes, and visiting remote and ancient villages and fortifications as we go. While most nights are spent camping in some beautiful locations, on occasions we will be the guests of the local people - a rare opportunity to meet then and understand their way of life. Time is also set aside to explore the capital of Tbilisi and the old capital of Mtskheta, with its 6th century Jvari church and 11th century cathedral. Participation Statement Adventure Peaks recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personalinjury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement. Adventure Travel – Accuracy of Itinerary Although it is our intention to operate this itinerary as printed, it may be necessary to make some changes as a result of flight schedules, climatic conditions, limitations of infrastructure or other operational factors. As a consequence, the order or location of overnight stops and the duration of the day may vary from those outlined. You should be aware that some events are beyond our control and we would ask for your patience. -

Dabei komme ich besonders auf die Rolle von Transhumanz als zeit-räumlicher Mobilität sowie das Konzept von kulturellen Reserven zu sprechen und behaupte, dass die Tušen eine resistente „Überlebenskultur“ entwickelt haben, die sich nicht auf eine bloße Bewältigung makropolitischer Prozesse reduzieren lässt. Damit trete ich einem Systemdeterminismus entgegen und betone das Potential lokalisierter Mobilität. Schließlich analysiere ich die Konsequenzen globalisierter Migration für das tradierte System der Transhumanz und betrachte jüngste politische Entwicklungen, die auf eine schleichende Entmachtung lokaler Selbstverwaltung in Georgien hinwirken. 1 Dieser Beitrag basiert auf vorläufigen Ergebnissen meiner Feldforschung in Georgien 2006/07 zum Thema „The Landscape of Citizenship in Highland Georgia“. Besonders danken möchte ich meiner Assistentin im Feld Nino Aivasishvili, die einen Großteil des hier benutzen Materials zusammengetragen, gesichtet und mit mir diskutiert hat. -
