Producing Knowledge for Socio-Ecological Transformation in Central Asia? A Humbling Experiment in Re-Cognizing Rivers
As the deepening climate crisis shows, our greatest scientific challenge is to turn abstract understanding into doing. This means that the classic divide in research between ‘basic’, ‘applied’ and ‘outreach’ phases no longer adequately serve the need for transformative social learning. What can this kind of transformation look like in a world region such as Central Asia, with its own distinct legacies of environmental and social flourishing and s…
The Central Asian World
Collaboration
Collaborative and transdisciplinary research are ambitious and influential streams of thought in current anthropology. Collaboration represents a family of ideas often described as “transdisciplinary” in other disciplines. Proponents argue that collaborative models explicitly create greater recognition of research relationships and produce a more socially engaged research process. This research philosophy claims to produce more just, theoreticall…
Environmental Humanities in Central Asia
Roundtable studying the Anthropocene in Central Asia
The emerging and vibrant field of environmental humanities to date has not received considerable attention in Central Asia. In light of the Anthropocene crises, there is a real urgency for maturing this field and investigating the methodological and epistemological challenges that environmental topics demand, often working across disciplinary habits and time scales. This roundtable brings together Central Asianists from a range of backgrounds to …

Iconic Places in Central Asia
The temporal politics of big dams in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia
Mr Light and people's everyday energy struggles in Central Asia and the Caucasus
The perception of Central Asia and its place in the world has come to be shaped by its large oil and gas reserves. Literature on energy in the region has thus largely focused on related geopolitical issues and national policies. However, little is known about citizens’ needs within this broader context of commodities that connect the energy networks of China, Russia and the West. This multidisciplinary special issue brings together anthropologist…

How to build a better future? Kyrgyzstani development workers and the ‘knowledge transfer’ strategy
The development industry has moved from concepts of aid and technical assistance to the idea that closing ‘gaps’ in people's knowledge is the most effective way of alleviating poverty and injustice. My data show the means through which this ‘knowledge transfer’ is actually supposed to happen. I examine the micro-politics of development: the role and agency of development workers, who are so frequently employed to conduct ‘training’ on a wide rang…
Pastoréalismes
Moving metaphors we live by
Based on anthropological fieldwork between 2006 and 2008, this article compares how people in the Toktogul region of Kyrgyzstan understand and interact with water in three highly significant places: mountain pastures (jailoos), the Toktogul hydroelectric dam that controls the flow of the Naryn and sacred sites (mazars). Sidelining the vast standing waters of Toktogul Reservoir, valley residents instead highlight the positive qualities of flowing …
