The 16 Biennial Conference of the European Society for Central Asian Studies The 16 th Biennial Conference of the European Society for Central Asian Studies University of Exeter, Exeter, UK 27-29 June 2019 1 Programme Notes • The printed programme provides the basic information on the panels and events of the conference. It does not include abstracts of papers and panels which are provided in a separate [online-only] Full Programme. • A plenary session will conclude each of the three days of the conference and feature a plenary roundtable composed of members of the general conference a keynote speaker, and a special musical performance,. • There are a number of roundtables, book panels and non-traditional panels (including film showings and labs). • Panels are each 90 minutes long to enable longer breaks in between. We ask that panel chairs ensure that a minimum of 30 minutes is allowed for discussion following the presentations, which should therefore last no longer than one hour. However, within these limited guidelines we ask the panel chair and participants to agree timings and format among themselves in advance of the panel. o Chairs are required to ensure that each presenter is afforded equal time to speak and that the audience is allowed good time (a minimum of 30 minutes) to participate in discussions. They must also ensure the panel starts on time and that the room is clear 15 minutes before the next panel takes place. o Discussants are not required but may be included in panels if the chair and participants prefer. They are not recommended for panels with 5 papers. If there is no discussant and less than 2 papers on the panels, the chair may make comments on the paper and ask question if s/he desires. o On traditional panels , paper-presenters may typically speak for between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the number of papers and whether there is a discussants. For example, a panel with five papers may have 5 x 12 minute presentations, allowing the minimum of 30 minutes for the audience. A panel with two papers and a discussant may have 2 x 20-minute presentations and ten minutes for the discussant, allowing up to 40 minutes for the audience. o Panels will not be recorded by the conference or university. If an individual would like to record a panel on a device they must request this from the whole of the panel who should feel free not to give permission. If permission is granted by all panellists, the chair of the panel should announce to the audience that the session is being recorded before the panel begins. • Papers should be distributed to fellow panellists in advance of the conference and ideally by 20 June . The index includes email addresses of all participants who submitted these as part of their submission. o Paper authors who are not present at the conference have been omitted from the programme to avoid confusion. Presenters should acknowledge co-authors in their presentations. • The general rule is that each participant should be named on no more than 4 panels , twice as paper-giver and twice as chair, discussant or roundtable presenter. There are some exceptions to this, largely with regard to members of the conference committee who have stepped in as chair or discussant on panels in the last few weeks. • Room 7&8. Most panels take place in rooms with a maximum capacity of 20 or 25 persons. We have one large room (Room 7&8) which is available at the last minute for panels which are very popular and where the room is of insufficient capacity. If it is clear that the room is at capacity by the chosen start time, the chair of the panel should inform the conference desk and a helper will assist in the relocation to Room 7&8. Obviously, such relocation is only available to one panel per session. • Room 11 is unoccupied throughout the conference and may be booked free of charge at the conference desk. The 16th ESCAS Conference 27-29 th June 2019 is supported by: International Development fund, College of Social Sciences & International Studies, University of Exeter Department of Politics, University of Exeter Event Exeter Omidyar Central Asian Survey Open Society Foundations 2 3 Welcome to ESCAS 2019 Dear colleagues, We are delighted to welcome you to the 16 th conference of the European Society for Central Asian Studies (ESCAS) at the University of Exeter. The conference has been organised by the ESCAS board and the Exeter Central Asian Studies (EXCAS) research network supported by two administrators, Chee Wong and Marijke Shakespeare, and several student interns and helpers at the University of Exeter. First of all, I must express our thanks to Chee, Marijke and our student helpers for their tremendous work on the conference. Second, as a team, we have some regret as an organising committee that a significant minority of those accepted to present at the conference, particularly those from Central Asia, have been unable to attend due to visa issues or costs. While these boundaries and limits are a perennial problem for international conferences, it is particularly jarring for a conference on the theme of ‘the globality of Central Asia’ which is taking place in a country which brands itself as ‘Global Britain’. The use of the term global expresses a reality of increased movement of people, ideas, and materials transnationally. However, what the global moniker may understate are the barriers to these mobilities and how certain persons, ideas, and materials are more likely to face these barriers than others. Therefore, our conference, while ranging widely across Central Asian Studies, focuses on the interrogation of the global in Central Asia and Central Asia in the global. Our plenary panel – composed of conference participants from Central Asia and Europe – interrogates how far academic freedom and international cooperation in our field can be advanced despite the significant and apparently growing barriers to such engagement from both authoritarian and neoliberal practices. Our keynote lecture by Professor Nicola Di Cosmo offers an integrated view of the region in the late antiquity and early medieval periods. Our keynote cultural performance from Hamid Ismailov and Razia Sultanova addresses the question ‘Is world literature a homeland for Central Asian writers, or are they its migrants and refugees?’ Many panels also address questions relating to the globality of Central Asia and its limits. These questions constitute challenges which are integral to the development of Central Asian Studies as a field. How we navigate these challenges both inside and outside the region shapes our community and our research findings. Thank you for your contribution and enjoy the conference!

  • Barbarians” to Burn the Yuanming Yuan?1
    Rumour, Hanjian 漢奸 and Identity: Who Led the “Barbarians” 1 to Burn the Yuanming yuan? LI Man 李漫* The burning of the Yuanming yuan (hui mingyuan 燬名園) is a well known historical trauma for Chinese and it constitutes a great regret and irreparable loss for world culture as well. The burning of this beau- tiful and unparalleled garden has caused lots of literati, Western and Eastern, to lament and reflect about it. This article will in some way also treat this tragedy. Mainly, however, it focuses not directly on the burning and the vandalism itself, but rather on hearsay about it: Who led those “barbarians” (Englishmen and Frenchmen) to burn the Yuanming yuan? Through a narration and an analysis of this hearsay which later became a rumour, this essay tries to research the dynamics behind the spreading of this rumour and the confusion about identity, deconstruction and reconstruction, among people in the late Qing and early Republican period reflected in the spreading of the rumour. In order to understand the background behind this rumour and to assess it correctly from a historical point of view, it will first of all be necessary to analyze and clarify the concept of Hanjian 漢奸 in a his- torical context.2 As will become evident in the second part of this arti- cle, it is exactly this concept of and the idea behind Hanjian that to a large extent facilitated the spread of the rumours about the burning of the Yuanming yuan. It is just because of the designation as “Hanjian” to the protagonist of this article, that all “reasonable” connections and “plausible” convictions on him are seemingly well grounded.

  • 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.

    The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang.

  • CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological Evidence Places Early Stone Age Human Habitation in the Southern
    CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological evidence places early Stone Age human habitation in the southern Gobi between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago 1. While they were nomadic hunter-gatherers it is believed that they migrated to southern Asia, Australia, and America through Beringia 50,000 BP. This prehistoric migration played a major role in fundamental dispersion of world population. As human migration was an essential part of human evolution in prehistoric era the historical mass dispersions in Middle Age and Modern times brought a significant influence on political and socioeconomic progress throughout the world and the latter has been studied under the Theory of Diaspora. This article attempts to analyze Mongol Diaspora and its characteristics. The Middle Age-Mongol Diaspora started by the time of the Great Mongol Empire was expanding from present-day Poland in the west to Korea in the east and from Siberia in the north to the Gulf of Oman and Vietnam in the south. Mongols were scattered throughout the territory of the Great Empire, but the disproportionately small number of Mongol conquerors compared with the masses of subject peoples and the change in Mongol cultural patterns along with influence of foreign religions caused them to fell prey to alien cultures after the decline of the Empire. As a result, modern days Hazara communities in northeastern Afghanistan and a small group of Mohol/Mohgul in India, Daur, Dongxiang (Santa), Monguor or Chagaan Monggol, Yunnan Mongols, Sichuan Mongols, Sogwo Arig, Yugur and Bonan people in China are considered as descendants of Mongol soldiers, who obeyed their Khaan’s order to safeguard the conquered area and waited in exceptional loyalty.

  • UYGHUR STUDIES in CENTRAL ASIA: a Historical Review
    UYGHUR STUDIES IN CENTRAL ASIA 3 ABLET KAMALOV UYGHUR STUDIES IN CENTRAL ASIA: A Historical Review INTRODUCTION The Uyghurs, a Turkic people comprising a major part of the population of the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), China, also have sizable communities in the former Soviet Central Asian Republics, espe- cially in Kazakhstan, where they numbered 220,000 in 1999 (altogether the Uyghur population in the newly independent states numbers more than 300,000). The Central Asian Uyghur community played a signifi- cant role in the Uyghur nation-building process as well as in Soviet- Chinese relations during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Soviet authorities used the Uyghurs as a tool in their policy toward Xinjiang (Eastern Turkistan) and for that purpose provided special sup- port for the development of Uyghur culture in Central Asia. A significant part of that policy was the development of Uyghur studies in Central Asia, particularly in Kazakhstan, which became a cultural center for the Soviet Uyghurs. Uyghur studies covers mostly the research done in the sphere of language, literature, history, and culture (art, music, etc). This article will examine the history of Uyghur studies in Soviet Central Asia and outline its trends. 4 KAMALOV THE MAIN STAGES The Initial Stage (1920–1945) The earliest research on Uyghurs conducted in Central Asia exhibited mostly a practical character. The purpose was to pursue specific goals of Soviet national policy aimed at the creation of new socialist “nations” in the region. The Uyghurs, along with other peoples, were recognized by the Soviet state as a “nation” during the period of national delimitation and demarcation in Central Asia during the early 1920s, just after the establishment of Bolshevik power.

  • Regime Legitimacy and Comparative Chinese Secession Movements
    POSC 289: Nationalism, Secession, and the State. Spring 2009, Dr. Thomas Julian Lee, Research Paper Regime Legitimacy and Comparative Chinese Secession Movements (PHOTO: A tattered PRC flag waves above a Beijing restaurant in the Xizhimen Wai District, 2001.) ABSTRACT: Much of foreigners’ “misunderstanding” of China is a result of its own environment of restricted information. An undeniably ideographic case, the current regime of the People’s Republic of China faces an ongoing crisis of legitimacy in its post-totalitarian state, to which its primary response has been the instrumental tapping of any and all potential sources, including vestigial socialist ideology, economic development, traditional Chinese culture, and perhaps most of all, a self-proclaimed status as the protector of a civic Chinese nation which may not actually exist. While denying its imperial past and present, the PRC seeks to construct such a nation, while retaining the territories and nations in its periphery which, due largely to non-identification as members of the Chinese nation, would prefer autonomy or independence by means of “secession”. Secessionist movements based on nationalist conflicts with the central government are unlikely to “succeed”, and as Chinese power rises, the more important issues are transparency and the types of tactics the Chinese Communist Party employs in pursuit of national integration. What all concerned parties must be vigilant for, additionally, is any evidence of a long-term strategy to reconstruct a “Sinocentric world” which would begin with the revisionist construction of a “Greater China”. China itself faces a choice of what kind of state it would prefer to be, and a primary indicator of its decision, by which the international community has judged it harshly, has been the policies toward “minority nationalities”, effectively denying their rights to self-determination, in turn denying the regime its desired legitimacy.
