Indhold: The Uyghur are a Turkic speaking Muslim minority concentrated in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, which is situated in the far Northwest of the People's Republic of China. While culturally and linguistically they exhibit many commonalities with other Turkic speaking Muslims constituting the titular majority in their independent states in neighbouring Central Asia, the Uyghur have been part of the Chinese polity at least since the annexation of the region by the Qing dynasty (mid-eighteenth century). Modern Uyghur ethno-nationalism has to be understood within the framework of this 'in-between-ness'. Drawing on a combination of historical and ethnographic works, the course explores the roots and development of modern Uyghur identity with reference to their history in Inner Asia and to aspects of Uyghur social practice documented in the pre-socialist and socialist periods by indigenous observers, foreign explorers, ethnographers and anthropologists. The course will also consider the ethnic and linguistic diversity of Xinjiang as well as its multiple connections to neighbouring regions and will therefore also offer an introduction to the emerging field of Xinjiang Studies and into the research problems and eclectic methods used in regional studied.
Litteratur: A master copy with all the texts will be made available on a semester shelf in the library.
