  • I —From Pre-History, to History
    KATUN (O n Turkish VVomen) E M E L ESİN* I —From pre-history, to history History and archaeology trace the origins of the Turkish Eve, from pre- to early historical times, in the north of inner-Asia, on a scene of snowy peaks, with forests of pines and birches, opening southvvards into vvide steppes. In the first centuries of the millenary before Christ, a change of existence had occurred in Inner Asia. The earlier small agricul- tural communities, possibly matriarchal units,1 had altered their way of life. Presumably as sequel of a wave of invasion, the communities had moved to pastoral seminomadism,2 in seasonal transhumane from fortified vvinter quarters, to estival pastures, vvhere the flocks could graze. The sea­ sonal alterance of the mode of life, vvhich continued into the historical period, beginning in ca the Vth century, caused a duplication of the femi- nine personality. In vvinter, vvithin the tribal circumvallation, woman pre- sided, both as cook and as priestess fire, at the family hearth and altar. She spun, dyed vvools and felts, wove and embroidered. The mother-god- dess of Turkish mythology, Umay,3 had been inspired from this feminine image. A petroglyph4 of the Sixth century, shovving a crowned figüre, in ritual frontally squatting posture (baghdaş,5 in Turkish) is thought to rep- resent her (pl. I/a).** With the advent of spring and the move of the flocks tovvards the pastures, the condition of women changed. The vvomen also must, need be on horseback, shepherd the herds, encounter or flee before an enemy * History of Art.

Sinor) The two centuries during which the Türks were the dominant power in Inner Asia would seem to mark a turning point since, for the first time in recorded history, an essentially nomad empire bordered simultaneously on three major sedentary civilizations: those of China, Iran, and the Western world as represented by Byzantium. A more or less permanent link was established between these three civilizations, allowing the free flow of trade and with it, one must presume, a range of ideas and information. There

  • Culture and Cross-Cultural Contacts in the Chaghadaid Realm (1220-1370) Some Preliminary Notes
    Culture and Cross-Cultural Contacts in the Chaghadaid Realm (1220-1370) Some Preliminary Notes MLCHAL BLRAN Despite its central location at the heart of the Mongol empire, the Chaghadaid Khanate is often left out of the discussion of cross-cultural contacts inside and outside the Mongol empire. However, both the vigorous contacts between the neighbours of the Chaghadaids, Yuan China and Ilkhanid Iran, recently discus- sed in Allsen's superb Culture and Conquest in the Mongol Empire,1 and the gran- deur and cosmopolitanism of Tamerlane's empire, which succeeded the Chagha- daids' western realm in 1370, suggest that significant cross-cultural contacts ex- isted under the Chaghadaids as well. What were those contacts like? What kind of culture existed in the Chagha- daid realm? These questions are not easily answered due to the dearth of sources for the history of the Chaghadaid Khanate, which is in sharp contrast to the am- ple historical literature that exists for both Ilkhanid Iran and Yuan China. Based on Muslim and Chinese literary sources, archaeological and numismatic findings, and Mongolian documents from Turfan and Dunhuang, this article aims to high- light a few aspects of the cross-cultural contacts in the Chaghadaid realm, mainly through three, often interrelated, agents of such contacts; the court, trade net- works and religious networks - Buddhist, Christian and Muslim. First, however, some background information on the Chaghadaid realm is called for. 1 T. T. Allsen, Culture and Conquest in the Mongol Empire.

  • A History of Inner Asia
    This page intentionally left blank A HISTORY OF INNER ASIA Geographically and historically Inner Asia is a confusing area which is much in need of interpretation.Svat Soucek’s book offers a short and accessible introduction to the history of the region.The narrative, which begins with the arrival of Islam, proceeds chrono- logically, charting the rise and fall of the changing dynasties, the Russian conquest of Central Asia and the fall of the Soviet Union. Dynastic tables and maps augment and elucidate the text.The con- temporary focus rests on the seven countries which make up the core of present-day Eurasia, that is Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Sinkiang, and Mongolia. Since 1991, there has been renewed interest in these countries which has prompted considerable political, cultural, economic, and religious debate.While a vast and divergent literature has evolved in consequence, no short survey of the region has been attempted. Soucek’s history of Inner Asia promises to fill this gap and to become an indispensable source of information for anyone study- ing or visiting the area. is a bibliographer at Princeton University Library. He has worked as Central Asia bibliographer at Columbia University, New York Public Library, and at the University of Michigan, and has published numerous related articles in The Journal of Turkish Studies, The Encyclopedia of Islam, and The Dictionary of the Middle Ages.

  • Current Performance-Practice in the Uzbek Oral Epic of the Sherabad School
    Oral Tradition, 12/2 (1997): 337-365 Two Performances of the “Return of Alpami”: Current Performance-Practice in the Uzbek Oral Epic of the Sherabad School Walter Feldman The present study attempts to clarify the issues of text composition and poetic style within the Uzbek oral poetic genre known as the doston (dastan). It focuses on four short oral poetic texts: two recordings of two identical sections of the Alpami doston sung by a single bard (bäxi) in 1990 and in 1991. Due to the fact that researchers within Uzbekistan and other former Soviet republics of Central Asia have paid little attention to issues of “improvisation” and “memorization,” even such a modest attempt at multiple recording can help to state the relevant questions more clearly. A close analysis of the four texts demonstrates how the techniques of oral composition intersect with poetic style. This analysis is aided at times by interviews with and explanations from the bard. In addition, these interviews and observations of the bard and his immediate environment reveal aspects of the bäxi profession that he viewed as having significance. Schools of Doston Singing in Southeastern Uzbekistan Since the nineteenth century the entire mountainous area in the northeast of the Qashqadarya and the northwest of the Surkhandarya oblasts,1 as well as the plains to the south and southeast of these mountains, have been united in one epic tradition, today referred to as the “school” (maktab) of Sherabad. The earliest named figure in this school is ernä Bäxi Beknäzäroli (1855-1915), who lived near Sherabad. The professional lineages of the bards of Sherabad, Baysun, Denau, Shorchi, and Dehkanabad (formerly Teng-i Haram) are all interrelated (Qahharov 1985:20).
