Seminar
SoSe 24: Beyond the Silk Road. A Global History of Modern Central Asia
Robert Kindler
Comments
In this seminar, we will focus on the imperial history of Central Asia in the 19th and 20th centuries in a global context. In contrast to the (still prevailing) view of Central Asia as a “remote” backwater of both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, we will conceptualize the region as being deeply integrated into and shaped by global developments – even when it was largely isolated from the “outside world.” Based on case studies in economic, environmental, and social history, we will discuss how recent debates in postcolonial studies and global history contribute to a better understanding of the “Imperial Situation” in Central Asia and beyond. close
