Taking the case of Qazaq Pastoralists in Western Mongolia, this book looks at the universal human requirement to balance individual flexibility and strategies designed to make a living with the social expectations that impose particular rules of conduct but also enable mutual trust and cooperation to emerge.Pastoralists in Western Mongolia have experienced dramatic changes in recent decades, including the dismantling of the socialist economy, a series of natural disasters, and an emigration of roughly half of the local Qazaq minority to the newly independent state of Qazaqstan. Four aspects illustrate the chances and challenges that people face. First is the emergence of the market as the dominant mode of production and exchange, a thorny way full of uncertainties. Second is the individual household and its adaptation to the new economic system, creating new opportunities as well as precarities, and resulting in rapid social stratification. Thirdly, patterns of pastoral land allocation highlight problems of collective action and institutional fragmentation in the wake of a retreating state apparatus. Finally, social networks of mutual support and cooperation constitute a key component of pastoral livelihood but are under great pressure due to short time horizons and a lack of trust.The first longitudinal analysis of the Qazaqs in Mongolia in English and a contribution to anthropological theories on human adaptability and decision-making, economic and social inequalities, institutional change and the difficulty of deriving at cooperative solutions, this book will be a standard work and of interest to academics in the field of Central Asian Studies, Anthropology, Human Geography and Development Studies.

Practices of Traditionalization in Central Asia focuses on how tradition is ‘everyday-ified’ in contemporary Central Asia, including Tatarstan and Tibet, and what people seek to achieve in its name. The case studies range from political demonstrations and industrial workers’ gatherings to institutions of religious education, minority communities, weddings, and the Internet.In this volume we regard tradition as a practice that needs to be explored in its institutional and interactional context at a particular time, rather than as a reliable guide to the past: tradition can only be judged from the present; it is an interpretative concept, not a descriptive one. While the scholarly debate has so far centered on what tradition entails and what it does not, including the question of invention and ownership, less attention has been devoted to investigating how tradition is enacted, enforced, or motivated – in short, how it ‘gets done.’ In Central Asia, practices of traditionalization are closely related to the transformation of the socialist order and the emergence of highly stratified societies. This volume asks: When does tradition emerge as a line of argumentation, who are the actors invoking it and how is it being (materially) manifested?Practices of Traditionalization in Central Asia will be of great interest to scholars of Central Asia, Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey.

Throughout its history the concept of “Uzbekness,” or more generally of a Turkic-speaking sedentary population, has continuously attracted members of other groups to join, as being Uzbek promises opportunities to enlarge ones social network. Accession is comparatively easy, as Uzbekness is grounded in a cultural model of territoriality, rather than genealogy, as the basis for social attachments. It acknowledges regional variation and the possibility of membership by voluntary decision. Therefore, the boundaries of being Uzbek vary almost by definition, incorporating elements of local languages, cultural patterns and social organization. This book combines an historical analysis with thorough ethnographic field research, looking at differences in the conceptualization of group boundaries and the social practices they entail. It does so by analysing decision-making processes by Uzbeks on the individual as well as cognitive level and the political configurations that surround them.

Quantitative assessments of the effects of global change on soil development are mostly focused on soil carbon, some nutrients, pollutants and soil water. This is not different when we study global change, thus modelling soil development under global change overlaps with modelling soil formation.

Im Spektrum literaturwissenschaftlicher Forschungsansätze erscheinen seit einigen Jahren Konzepte, die sich nicht an hermeneutischen, sondern an ana lytischen Philosophien orientieren, Konzepte, die in einen sich langsam ab zeichnenden Rahmen einer "Analytischen Literaturwissenschaft" geordnet wer den können. Was eine solche "Analytische Literaturwissenschaft" ist, was sie leisten kann und sollte, ist das Thema dcr Beiträge dieses Bandes. An dieser Stelle möchten wir all denen danken, die am Zustandekommen dieses Bandes mitgewirkt haben. Wir danken dem Bielefelder Zentrum für interdiszi plinäre Forschung (ZiF) und seinen Mitarbeitern für die Ausrichtung eines Symposions "Analytische Literaturwissenschaft" vom 1. bis 3.12.1980, das zum Ausgangspunkt dieses Bandes wurde. Wir danken allen Teilnehmern dieses Symposions, insbesondere jenen, deren dortiger Beitrag nicht in diesen Band aufgenommen werden konnte, unter ihnen besonders Jens Ihwe (Amsterdam). Den Beiträgern dieses Bandes danken wir für ihre bereitwillige und konstruktive Mitarbeit, auch dafür, daß alle die Verzögerungen bei der Gesamtherstellung mit Geduld ertragen haben. Sämtliche Beiträge werden hier zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht. Dank für ihre Hilfe schulden wir auch Monika Rieboldt (Bielefeld) und vor allem Monika Traut (Siegen), die die Druckvorlagen dieses Buches mit be währter Zuverlässigkeit geschrieben hat. Dem Verlag Vieweg schließlich dan ken wir für die verständnisvolle Zusammenarbeit.
