SUMMARY:Living standards in Central Asia before and after the revolution -

UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/7fa0a3be-f4fa-46dd-9441-3c7d19b070b1/
DESCRIPTION:This paper aims to pin down changes in living standards (in pa
 rticular\, nutritional standards) in Central Asia in the first quarter of 
 the 20th c. It utilises a relatively large corpus of published and unpubli
 shed rural household budgets of various provenance and post-stratification
  on the basis of data on ownership of land (peasants) or livestock (nomads
 ). First\, this reconstruction allows the assessment of the impact of the 
 revolution and civil war (which brought the end of the colonial regime\, b
 ut also socio-economic upheaval and famine) and of the land-and-water refo
 rm of the mid-1920s\, as well as to define from which baseline the great K
 azakh famine of the early 1930s took place. Second\, this study is meant t
 o situate the nutritional standards of Central Asian peasants vis à vis t
 heir Russian counterparts\, thereby participating in the discussion on liv
 ing standards on the eve of the revolution. Third\, the study of HHBs lead
 s to a definition of the ‘bare bone basket’ à la Robert C. Allen (e.g
 . Allen et al. 2011) for the region. Last but not least\, a discussion of 
 the history of household budgets surveys in Central Asia (as distinct from
  the rest of the Russian Empire/early USSR) is provided\, with some reflec
 tions on the policy priorities that underpinned choices about sampling and
  variables to be included.\nSpeakers:\nBeatrice Penati (University of Live
 rpool)

UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/c78ae91c-8d8e-4603-b77c-85fffc06168e/
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, I explore representations of the Russian Empir
 e in the South Caucasus in the 19th century through an analysis of various
  forms of official display\, ceremonies and cultural events. I discuss how
  Russian imperial aesthetics and identity politics interacted with local t
 raditions and shaped a peculiar image of the empire at its southern periph
 ery. The focus will be on three distinct manifestations of imperial displa
 y: The statue of viceroy Vorontsov\, the Caucasian Museum\, and the visit 
 of Alexander III to the region in 1888.\nSpeakers:\nHubertus Jahn (Clare C

SUMMARY:Religious Conversion and Communal Identity in Central Asia: The Is

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T170000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T180000
UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/c6e47e65-c3a7-40b6-8ad0-8aa95b1824f6/
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I address the question of how minority re
 ligious communities are able to successfully endure and proselytize under 
 adverse conditions of persecution. I examine this through the example of t
 he Ismaili Shiʿi community of the Badakhshan region of Central Asia\, a c
 ommunity which\, despite many centuries of violent repression\, has retain
 ed its status as one of the largest religious minorities of the Iranian wo
 rld. I investigate the inter-related practices of shrine patronage and the
  elaboration of religious conversion narratives connected with Ismaili sai
 nts\, and demonstrate how these practices intersect within a cyclical proc
 ess of appropriation and re-appropriation of the sanctity of these saints 
 among both Ismaili and non-Ismaili communities. This process provides a cr
 itical source of symbolic capital for Ismailis and a tool for communal sur
 vival and proselytization. Finally\, I demonstrate how this framework can 
 address the seeming paradox of why Ismailism\, which is often depicted in 
 scholarship as a quintessentially intellectual and literary tradition\, ha
 s found its deepest roots in “peripheral” regions beyond the political
  and cultural centers of the Islamic world.\nSpeakers:\nDaniel Beben (Naza
 rbayev University)
