In the context of the current postmodern upheaval, the need to define each trend and field in sciences dealing with the past gains special significance. The article attempts an analytical review of achievements in the study of the ‘women’s theme’ in contemporary historical sciences of Mainland China between 1949 and 1999. Goals. The work aims to examine the accumulation of knowledge concerning the ‘second sex’ (long considered non-principal); review the history of how previously unknown sources or overlooked aspects and plots relating to legal, family, social statuses of Chinese women have been introduced into scientific discourse; identify prerequisites and causes for the emergence of new fields in disciplines dealing with the past (women’s history of China and anthropology of gender); explore main stages in the development of the research trend to determine its significance for contemporary Chinese and world science. Results. The paper proves that the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995) served a dividing line in the shaping of the new history research agenda. It was after 1995 that corresponding academic endeavors were launched in various cities and universities, scientific schools formed, and their leaders came forth. Conclusions. The emergence of the new field in China’s science was inevitable since it had been predetermined by a change in cognitive orientations. Women’s history brought together those who were ready to combine Marxist methodology (with its deliberate attention to socioeconomic problems) with the concept of gender (which allowed an introduction of topics never studied by Chinese historians).","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90622219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper examines traditional Kalmyk society during WWI. The Soviet-era historiography dealing with the issue in question is limited to few articles published in the 1960s–1980s. More attention has been paid to the topic relatively recently, and some of its aspects need further additions, since this tends to become relevant enough in the light of present-day international relations and the need to strengthen historical unity of peoples constituting our nation. Goals. The work specifically aims to provide additional insights into everyday life of Kalmyk nomads during WWI and primarily — the 1916 mobilization activities in Kalmyk uluses. Materials and methods. The article analyzes of a wide range of official documents stored at the National Archive of Kalmykia, the bulk of the latter be newly introduced into scientific circulation. The work employs a set of general scientific and special historical research methods, of which the principles of historicism, objectivity and system-oriented analysis are of paramount importance. The synthesis of sources involved and the selected research methods has yielded a reliable picture of Kalmyk realities in the face of war-driven anxiety. Results. Unlike many regions of Russia, the economy of Kalmyk Steppe (Astrakhan Governorate) was based on nomadic and semi-nomadic livestock breeding and did maintain its stability. However, this stability was ensured by large and medium-scale livestock breeders who were to increase food (and other) production to meet the increased demand of war time. For the poor and some middle-class peasants the war brought additional hardships, including the particularly burdensome mobilization for rear services in the front-line provinces.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74082798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Kalmyk folklore, the genre of tea well-wishes (Kalm. цәәд тәвх йѳрәл) accompanies many rituals characterized by magic poetry and aimed to secure health, longevity, well-being, human happiness, as well as preservation and prosperity of the surrounding world. Tea is a major meal component to be offered to the spirits of ancestors, deities, and individuals for the fulfillment of well-wishes. In Kalmyk traditional meals, tea remains a basic element. The article is topical enough since tea well-wishes in 20th-century Kalmyk poetry are still somewhat understudied. Goals. The study seeks to identify related examples in terms of genre, consider the folklore tradition and innovations, analyze available Russian translations for adequacy. Materials and methods. The article focuses on representative Kalmyk- and Russian-language (including Russian translations) poems by Kalmyk poets addressed to tea. Methodology rests on historical-literary and comparative approaches to reveal the relation between folklore and poetry, the continuity of this genre throughout Kalmykia’s literary process. Results. The paper attests to the bulk of poetic tea well-wishes — in the folklore aspect — underwent some changes and were created in the mid-to-late 20th century. Conclusions. Tea well-wishes in writings of Kalmyk poets are characterized by genre syntheses, certain plots, inclusions of proverbs and sayings, folklore formulas, praises to the beverage, descriptions of how it be cooked, and its leading role in the ethnic meals model.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79558733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article examines the history of population migrations in the earliest period of Elista city’s construction between 1927 and 1932. An insight into the topic shall further reveal common and specific features in the shaping of settlement populations across Russia. Goals. The paper aims to analyze actual migration trends during the construction of the city to have gained the status of an autonomy’s capital — and show the Government’s impacts on the formation and development of Elista’s population t in 1927–1932. Materials and methods. The study employs the historical-comparative and historical-genetic research methods, analyzes documents from the National Archive of Kalmykia, republican periodicals and published monographs dealing with the history of Elista, a number of archival documents be newly introduced into scientific circulation. Results. The work reveals causes and factors of the creation of Kalmykia’s capital, analyzes population policies of Soviet authorities, reviews social, professional, ethnic, and territorial backgrounds of immigrants. The analysis of documents attests to that it was the Soviet Government that played a key role in the city’s creation and approved major directions of its development, organized the relocation of administrative agencies and funded the bulk of its construction. The migration agenda was being implemented in accordance with the goals of nationalities and administrative policies, as well as with directions of the city’s development chosen by official authorities. The government-organized relocations were administrative by nature. However, the population structure was essentially shaped by unorganized migrations that resulted from the sedentarization of Kalmyks, aspirations of some citizens from neighboring regions and territories to obtain better sources of livelihood — or even to escape political persecution. Conclusions. The emergence of the new settlement was driven by that the Government was seeking to establish a Soviet ethnic center of the Kalmyk people and administer the territory from inside Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast. These presupposed migrations were to be planned and facilitate achieving the objectives set by authorities. There had been no plans to create large industrial facilities in the city, so the government-organized migration did not require involvement of large labor resources. The ‘unorganized’ resettlers were largely those who had some professional skills demanded in the city, nomads seeking a sedentary life, and individuals in pursuit of profitable livelihoods or shelter from the watchful eye of law enforcement agencies.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86457780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The territorial organization of Inner Asian polities underwent significant transformations in the first quarter of the 20th century, which resulted in a need for its visualization. Goals. The article attempts to reconstruct the system of key public governance institutions in Mongol-inhabited lands of China in the mentioned period, and to describe tools of their visualization supposed to spot the former across present-day geographical points of the region. So, the study aims to examine some basic institutions of princely power and khoshun administration, religious and aimag/league-level authorities, impacts of the Chinese colonization on Mongol-inhabited territories, investigate sources, tools and methods instrumental in spatial localization and visualization of territorial /governance structures across the lands. Materials and methods. The work focuses on two groups of sources, namely: unpublished materials from P. Dudin’s doctoral thesis (manuscript) (Statehood of Inner Mongolia: Late 19th to Mid-20th Centuries) discussing public governance structures of Mongolian banners (counties); and unique maps of 1914/1925 mentioning khoshuns, aimags and leagues of almost all Mongol-inhabited domains. The research methodology rests on an interdisciplinary approach, methods of historical science to comprise the ideographic (descriptive-narrative) and retrospective ones, a narrative approach, and principles of historicism; knowledge of political science yields an opportunity to employ functional and behavioral approaches. The geographical methods involved rest on the scheme of analysis proposed in works of O.  Medushevskaya (1957) and L. Goldenberg (1958), as well as on some analysis of the data generalization degree. Results. The work has reconstructed the early 20th-century system of key Mongolian public governance institutions, outlines how the system of princely power functioned, how khoshun-level administrative bodies took shape and worked, identifies the governance role of religious institutions, while insights into different levels of the administrative/territorial organization facilitates further understanding as to actual scopes of power attributed thereto, and makes it possible to visualize the investigated space with the aid of contemporary tools and techniques. Conclusions. The paper points to the efficiency of the then management system where it was the khoshun that had served — and remained — a key structural element. The latter’s detailed illustrations on V. Surin’s maps make it possible to restore the ancient territorial organization of Mongolia using the GIS system, free access be provided for researchers of the region.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72396784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nomads once maximally incorporated into nature and surrounding landscapes had tended to retain their identity through the pastoral way of life, way of thinking, and mentality. The gradual — though further accelerated — emergence of the new development logic set forth by the Russian Empire made the Kazakhs develop new adaptation mechanisms for survival and self-realization in the suggested circumstances. Goals. The article analyzes a variety of sources, works and studies characterizing existential specifics of nomadic economic patterns — to examine the shaping of new life strategies adopted by Kazakh nomads across the frontier zone in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Materials and methods. The analyzed materials include those contained in Collection 175 of the State Archive of Orenburg Oblast, Interim Provisions on Governance in Steppe Areas of Orenburg and West Siberian Governorates-General, and Materials on Kirghiz Land Use published between 1896 and 1915. Besides, a number of Kazakh literary works that serve as unique historical sources have been considered. Results. The critical approach to different historical sources makes it possible to compare factual materials and reconstruct the transformation and changes in self-identity and outlooks of ex-nomads. At the turn of the 20th century, Kazakh elites were trying to answer the traditional questions of the intelligentsia: Who is to blame and what is to be done? Then and there it was urgent to decide on further prospects of life — whether to preserve nomadism or to seek for other forms of semi-nomadic life, or gradually get sedentarized at all. Conclusions. The Russian Government did not interfere with the nomads’ land use practices, and tended to solve land matters of exclusively plowmen’s communities. In these conditions, the nomadic Kazakhs were left to themselves. As a result, they had to develop new daily practices. Having lost their traditional lifestyle, the Kazakhs still succeeded in preserving their national distinctness in terms of language, oral folklore, genealogies, rituals, etc. The specificity of the frontier zone manifested itself in that Kazakh nomads were actively involved in daily life transformations and developed a habit of turning to local authorities for support (rather than relying on their own resources only) to defend lands from competing peasant immigrants.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74196362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods. The paper focuses on archival materials contained in Collections 561 (‘CMEA Secretariat’) and 302 (‘Permanent Mission of the USSR to the CMEA’) of the Russian State Archive of the Economy, as well as files from Collection 10 (‘International Conferences and Meetings’) of the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History. The main research methods employed are the historical-descriptive and historical-genetic ones. Results. The report was prepared by a group of agricultural experts representing CMEA member countries which worked in Mongolia from 13 August to 12 September 1963. The experts’ departure was a consequence of a change in the initial procedure for developing proposals aimed at improving Mongolia’s agricultural production. Conclusions. The CMEA expert group report of 12 September 1963 had a complicated and ornate background be traced back to the 16th Session of the CMEA which admitted Mongolia to the organization. Structurally, it consists of 7 same-type sections describing various areas of assistance to Mongolia’s agriculture. In the course of the works, the expert group reviewed the list and scope of positions for the proposed assistance, and at the same time — most importantly — expert support was provided to meet the requests of Mongolia’s representatives, while the latter were still to defend the implementation of the measures recorded in the Report in the course of coordinating the national economic plans of the CMEA member countries.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89326168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Russian writers quite actively use pragmatic markers (PM) to create a speech portrait of a particular character. At the same time, studies have shown that Russian PMs are characterized by increased syntagmatic activity and tend to appear in text not alone but in ‘company’ with other similar units. Goals. The study seeks to analyze the methods employed to translate PM chains contained in Russian literary texts into Chinese — through the example of the markers eto, eto samoe and kak yego (yeyo, ikh). Materials and methods. The paper analyzes a total of 19 contexts from 8 Russian fiction works included in the main subcorpus of the National Russian Corpus — and their Chinese translations. The work employs purposeful sampling, as well as contextual, comparative and discursive types of analysis. Results. The study shows that the Russian eto samoe has no absolute Chinese equivalent in terms of form and function, which presents big challenges for translators. Only few of the latter were able to translate eto samoe using the Chinese counterparts 这个 zhe ge or 那个 na ge. Structural variants of the Russian pragmatic markers eto and kak yego (yeyo, ikh) are often found both in literary texts and Russian oral (live) speech. Translators easily associate the pragmatic marker kak yego (yeyo, ikh) with the full-value expression kak yego (yeyo, ikh) zovut/nazyvajut performing the same search-hesitation function, and the pragmatic marker eto with its Chinese counterparts 这个 zhe ge or 那个 na ge. As a result, when it comes to translate PM chains with the components kak yego (yeyo, ikh) and eto, functional equivalence is achieved much easier than in case of PM chains with the component eto samoe.

The ability of pragmatic markers to ‘attract’ to each other further complicates both the procedure of their identification in a text and their translation into other languages.","PeriodicalId":36786,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74619271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article outlines the results of excavations at Kryazh II workshop site located in the forest-steppe Volga region. The site is unique and contains an impressive collection of flint products and manufacturing wastes. Goals. The work aims to introduce materials from the excavations of 2017–2019 into scientific circulation. To facilitate this, the study shall describe and characterize the archaeological complexes, determine their cultural and chronological affiliations, and clarify the natural and climatic contexts to have witnessed the formation of the occupation layer. Materials. During three field seasons (2017–2019), an area of 192 m2 was studied. The total collection of artifacts numbers 5,989, of which ca. 250 items are ceramics and over 5,700 items are flint products — flakes and tools estimated at 6 % and less than 1.5 %, respectively. The majority of the finds over the entire area of the excavation lay in a thin layer (15–20 cm) of dark brown loam and in the upper part of brown loam. The performed palynological analysis makes it possible to identify three spore-pollen spectra in the section of the occupation layer. The paper also reveals six radiocarbon dates marking the time when the site was active. Results. The uniqueness of the flint complex at Kryazh II is determined by an increased concentration of flint artifacts per square meter of the studied area, an absolute predominance of manufacturing wastes, and a high percentage of products with indurated nodules, which makes it possible to interpret the site as a workshop. From a typological point of view, most of the ceramic items and flint inventory reveal similarities with materials of the Middle Volga culture from the Late Neolithic. At the same time, individual flint items and several fragments of ceramics are close enough to Eneolithic antiquities of the region in a number of aspects. The formation period of the site’s occupation layer dates to the mid-6th – mid-5th millennia BC characterized by the existence of forest-steppe landscapes close to modern ones. Conclusions.
