It began in spring 2013, when we started our research project with the admittedly technical title Translocal Goods — Education, Work, and Commodities Between Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, China, and the Arab Emirates. We aspired to explore new ways in which the exchange relations of mobile actors from Central Asia redefine their own (emic) as well as our (analytic) understanding about identity, ethnicity and Islam as they extend beyond common ‘containers’ of local community, nation state and regional setting. Within that conceptual frame, three individual scientific efforts each dealt with quite distinct themes: • Studying Islam Abroad — Students’ Mobility, Life-Chances and Translocal Muslim Practice in-between Tajikistan and the Arab World (Manja Stephan-Emmrich) • The ‘China-Business’ — An Ethnography of Kyrgyz Traders and their Translocal Livelihoods in-between ‘Home’, China, and Russia (Philipp Schröder) • Translocal Hijab — The Producing, Distributing and Consuming of Religious Clothing in-between Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates (Abdullah Mirzoev) We have presented in detail the concepts and empirical data associated with these projects in an earlier publication (Schröder and Stephan- Emmrich 2014), as well as in the introductory chapter to this volume. But academia can only thrive to the degree it is supported by a generous institutional structure. In that regard, we could not have found a better partner than the Volkswagen Foundation (VolkswagenStiftung), and © M. Stephan-Emmrich and P. Schröder, CC BY 4.0 https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0114.12 2 Mobilities, Boundaries, and Travelling Ideas in particular the program Between Europe and the Orient — A Focus on Research and Higher Education in/on Central Asia and the Caucasus. Until 2017, the funding provided by the Volkswagen Foundation enabled us not only to conduct our individual ethnographic fieldwork in Central Asia, Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates, but also to engage actively within various circles of the scientific community. One such key event was a workshop held in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) in April 2015, which we jointly organized with our main local partner, the American University of Central Asia. Over three days, our group of participants intensively discussed draft papers that approached the notion of ‘translocality’ from all kinds of disciplinary, theoretical and methodological angles. Since then these early texts have been developed into full-fledged chapters, due in no small part to our invited discussant, Barak Kalir of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. As someone who shares our interest in mobility studies, but also draws from extensive research experience outside of Central Asia, his intuitive commentary provided the authors with a fresh perspective, challenging them to think beyond conventional approaches in their disciplines or focus areas. We are very grateful that Barak agreed to condense his thoughts on the contributions gathered here into a remarkable afterword. At the beginning of this book you will find a foreword by Nathan Light of Uppsala University in Sweden. We appreciate his thoughts as a senior scholar of Central Asian studies, because they allow us to situate our authors’ contributions within the wider perspective of (trans-) regional historic development. In this way, we believe, the fore- and afterwords complement the introduction in interesting ways: in the latter we could focus on the immediate conceptual issues of translocality as addressed by our authors, precisely because the fore- and afterword develop such invaluable contextual knowledge in regard to both area and mobility studies. Finally, we are grateful to all contributors, who all worked hard to meet the various expectations and shifting deadlines we set them. As this volume is an unusual assembly of authors for whom English is not their native language, we are particularly thankful to our language editor, Tricia Ryan. Due to her own background in social science Preface 3 research in Central Asia, her timely remarks improved the manuscript beyond grammar or style. We are indebted once more to the Volkswagen Foundation for agreeing to provide additional funds to support the publication of this research in Open Access format. In that regard, many thanks also to Alessandra Tosi of Open Book Publishers, whose patience and careful management were invaluable during this book’s production process. Furthermore, we are grateful to Bianca Gualandi and Lucy Barnes, also from OBP, for supporting us in matters of visual design and language- editing. Nora Bernhardt, Karin Teuber and Fiona Smith of Humboldt- Universität of Berlin have been crucial assets to our project since 2013, and their enthusiastic support for our common research-and publishing- efforts is very much appreciated.

    NARRATIVES OF KUMIS CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION IN CONTEMPORARY KAZAKHSTAN ВЗГЛЯДЫ НА ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕ И ИЗГОТОВЛЕНИЕ КУМЫСА В СОВРЕМЕННОМ КАЗАХСТАНЕ ҚАЗІРГІ ҚАЗАҚСТАНДА ҚЫМЫЗ ТҰТЫНУҒА ЖӘНЕ ДАЙЫНДАУҒА КӨЗҚАРАС by Sandra Real A Thesis Submitted to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of Nazarbayev University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Eurasian Studies at NAZARBAYEV UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE NUR-SULTAN, KAZAKHSTAN 2019 ii iii © 2019 Sandra Real All Rights Reserved iv Abstract Kumis, a beverage made with fermented mare´s milk, is a part of national cuisine, symbol of health, and unique cultural identity in modern Kazakhstan. It is also a part of the traditional cycle of horse husbandry and the modern small business production that thrives in the countryside around big cities. In my study, based on the in-person and online survey of kumis consumers and on in-depth interviews with kumis producers in the two major cities of Kazakhstan, Astana and Almaty, I explore the dynamics of kumis supply chain and customer behavior and discuss how modern- day city dwellers make choices about kumis consumption while imagining the landscape, seasonality, and “natural-ness” of kumis production. Keywords: kumis, urban Kazakhstan, mare´s milk, customer behavior v Acknowledgement I want to thank my advisers Dr. Alima Bissenova and Ms. Christina Pugh for their feedback, guidance, and encouragement to develop this project and for their advices during the process of document writing. I am also thankful to my peers from the Eurasian Studies program in making me feel welcome in Kazakhstan, showing me the beauty of Kazakh culture, and assisting me with interpreting when my Russian and Kazakh speaking skills were very limited.

  • National Dish
    National dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.[1] A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons: • It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.[1] • It contains a particular 'exotic' ingredient that is produced locally, such as the South American paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.[1] • It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.[1] • It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s. Pilaf (O'sh), a national dish in the cuisines of Central Asia National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image.[2] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[3] According to Zilkia Janer, a lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, China or India because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures.[2] The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single national dish.

The Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen and Uzbek peoples belonged to various states: Turkistan governor-generalship, which was part of the Russian empire, the emirate of Bukhara and the khanate of Khiva. Since ancient times the peoples of the region had lived in close contact and influenced one another, developing many common features in their material and spiritual culture and way of life. An important role in this was played by Islam, which for many centuries had been the region’s domi- nant religion. While emphasizing the common history of the region’s peoples we should nevertheless note the nature of the differences between them, in particular their various his- torical and cultural traditions. Some (the Tajiks, and to a considerable extent the Uzbeks) led a settled way of life, others were in transition to a settled way of life, while still others were nomadic and began the transition to a settled way of life only in the Soviet period (after 1917). These circumstances are important for any analysis and understanding of the problems of their spiritual life. In the region two cultures interacted, and continue to 180 ISBN 92-3-103985-7 The role of religion interact, as components of all human culture – the settled (Iranian) culture and the nomadic (Turkic) culture.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: professor emeritus Bert Fragner (Institute for Iranian Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences). Abstract Wennberg, F. 2013. On the Edge. The Concept of Progress in Bukhara during the Rule of the Later Manghits. Studia Iranica Upsaliensia 22. 215 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. ISBN 978-91-554-8805-5. This work is a study of the concept of progress in Bukhara between approximately 1860 and 1920. It is based on unpublished and published sources from this period. The study suggests that not only the technological and social developments that took place on a global scale between 1860 and 1920 affected the conceptualization of progress in Bukhara, but that globa- lized narratives on progress did so as well. Cosmographical concepts and explanations that previously were more common were notably absent in what during the 1910s became a disco- urse on progress, but the concept of progress still had an important eschatological dimension and was closely related to apocalypticism. Chapter One presents the context of the study. The second chapter discusses the theoreti- cal framework and the analytical concepts. The next chapter continues by outlining the politi- cal, economic and cultural conditions in Bukhara during this period as well as providing a short historiographical discussion.
