Making Great Power Identities in Russia<br />

This book examines how the discourse of a strong Russia makes geopolitical<br />

subjects at a Moscow elite university. In so doing, it provides an inside<br />

perspective on the education of the future Russian elites and thus, possibly,<br />

on the future directions of Russian foreign policy.<br />

Through the prism of poststructuralist discourse theory this study tries<br />

to think the production of geopolitical identities, applying the work of<br />

theorists like Foucault and Laclau and Mouffe. It finds that what is at the<br />

heart of Russian great power identities is a constitutive lack that makes<br />

for a fundamental ambiguity: articulations of a strong Russia are always<br />

intertwined with the imminent possibility of a weak Russia.<br />

An ethnographic discourse analysis of education at a Russian<br />

elite university<br />

Zwischen Hierarchie und Heterarchie<br />

Kompetenzveränderungen in Tochterbetrieben internationaler<br />

Automobilunternehmen am Standort Polen<br />

Polen zählt zu den wichtigsten Zielregionen für Direktinvestitionen der<br />

Automobilindustrie. Die dort ansässigen Tochterbetriebe ausländischer<br />

Hersteller und Zulieferer werden oft als verlängerte Werkbänke bezeichnet.<br />

Dies missachtet, dass viele Tochterbetriebe über hohe Wertschöpfungsanteile<br />

und Handlungsspielräume verfügen.<br />

Über eine empirisch basierte Unternehmenstypisierung werden Unterschiede<br />

im tochterbetrieblichen Kompetenzportfolio dargelegt. Auch zeigt<br />

sich, dass Tochterbetriebe ihr Kompetenzportfolio aktiv erweitern können<br />

und so zur Heterarchisierung der Konzernstrukturen beitragen.<br />

Reindeer Nomads Meet the Market<br />

Culture, Property and Globalisation at the ‘End of the Land’<br />

Yamal, translates as the ’end of the land’ in the language of its native Nenets<br />

population. The setting of this anthropological monograph, Yamal<br />

is home to the world’s largest domestic reindeer herds. The region also<br />

accounts for almost 90extraction of huge untapped deposits is now about<br />

to transform vast expanses of tundra pastures into an industrial landscape.<br />

This book gives a valuable insight into nomadic life in the context of<br />

post-Soviet transformation at the onset of gas extraction. Stammler meticulously<br />

analyses relations between reindeer nomads and their social,<br />

political and natural environments, as well as their engagement with the<br />

developing market economy. Their high level of social adaptability is combined<br />

with a sense of belonging to their animals and their land. This study<br />

makes an original and significant contribution to wider debates about nomadic<br />

pastoralism and to anthropological studies of trade, barter, property<br />

and territoriality. The book is also recommended to those with an interest<br />

in background information on the regions that fuel the global economy in<br />

the 21st century.<br />

Churches In-between<br />

Greek Catholic Churches in Postsocialist Europe<br />

Eastern Rite Catholic Churches occupy an ambiguous position between<br />

two religious worlds and challenge the idea of a sharp religious and political<br />

dichotomy between Eastern and Western Europe. After decades<br />

of repression under socialism, the churches known popularly in Central<br />

Europe as Greek Catholic have successfully undertaken a process of revitalisation.<br />

This has been marked by competition with other churches,<br />

both over material properties and over people’s souls. How can a Greek<br />

Catholic “identity” be recreated? Can these churches provide a distinctive<br />

“product” for the new “religious marketplace”? By exploring such questions<br />

the contributors to this volume shed fresh light on the social and<br />

political shaping of religious phenomena in the era of postsocialism and<br />

also on more general issues of belief, practice, transmission and syncretism.<br />

Changing Economies and Changing Identities in Postsocialist<br />

Eastern Europe<br />

This book addresses class formation and changes in personhood in contemporary<br />

Eastern Europe in the context of the spread of a market economy.<br />

The authors investigate processes of social closure, marginalization<br />

and elite formation, paying particular attention to their cultural expressions<br />

and to the legitimizing discourses of nationalist and neoliberal agendas.<br />

While individual and collective identities are inextricably linked with the<br />

consolidation of global capitalism, external blueprints are everywhere mediated<br />

through historically grounded experiences and local social relations.<br />

–14–<br />

Comprising studies from Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Russia,<br />

the volume explores practices, stories, and performances in everyday life<br />

worlds. The ethnographies show both individual and collective identities to<br />

be emergent projects, constrained by economic processes and state policies<br />

but ultimately created by people themselves as they pursue their interests<br />

and search for meaning.<br />

Irene Hilgers<br />

Why Do Uzbeks have to be Muslims?<br />

Exploring religiosity in the Ferghana Valley<br />

In this work the late Irene Hilgers analyses the revival of Islam in the public<br />

sphere in postsocialist Uzbekistan, with particular reference to its<br />

role in the construction of a new national identity. Data collected during<br />

fieldwork in 2003-4 are contextualized with reference to the history of the<br />

Kokand Khanate and the suppression of religion during the Soviet era.<br />

Hilgers analyses current state ideology and the official structures for controlling<br />

religion, but also the continued significance of ‘popular religion’,<br />

as expressed at shrines and in healing rituals, and the tensions associated<br />

with ‘Wahabi’ currents. The tight association between Uzbek identity and<br />

Islam is also illustrated through the problems encountered by converts to<br />

Christianity. Throughout the work the author deploys her rich ethnographic<br />

materials to shed fresh light on major debates concerning secularization<br />

and the nature of Soviet and post-Soviet ‘modernity’.<br />

Tommaso Trevisani<br />

Land and Power in Khorezm<br />

Farmers, Communities and the State in Uzbekistan’s Decollectivisation<br />

Process<br />

This first detailed “grass roots” account of Uzbekistan’s protracted decollectivisation<br />

process explores continuity and change in the relations<br />

between rural communities, agricultural producers and local state authorities<br />

in the cotton-growing region of Khorezm. Built up during the Soviet<br />

period, the cotton sector has maintained its importance for the state and<br />

for rural communities in the years after independence, although economic<br />

parameters and social conditions have worsened significantly. Uzbekistan’s<br />

agricultural reform path does not follow that of most postsocialist<br />

scenarios and continuity with the past remains strong. Despite seeming<br />

immobility, the local view on rural society presented in this book unveals<br />

an unexpectedly dynamic situation, characterised by shifts in patronage<br />

relations, struggles over legitimacy, transformations in family structure<br />

and community life. Poised between the state, their communities and an<br />

emerging stratum of absentee farm “sponsors”, the focus of Trevisani’s<br />

analysis is on the new farmers (“fermer”) and their struggles for a place in<br />

rural society. What emerges from decollectivisation is a complexely articulated<br />

new agrarian question: its new inequalities are rooted in the political<br />

economy of cotton.<br />

Lale Yalçın-Heckmann<br />

The Return of Private Property<br />

Rural Life after Agrarian Reform in the Republic of Azerbaijan<br />

What makes private property valuable, desirable, or workable? In this<br />

book, Lale Yalçın-Heckmann focuses on social and economic dimensions<br />

of private property after the agrarian reforms of 1996 in Azerbaijan. She<br />

looks at the kinds of land and cultivation strategies emerging in the decades<br />

after the fall of the Soviet Union and asks why rural households are<br />

often unwilling to cultivate the privatised land shares they have received<br />

for free, despite the threat and existence of rural poverty. Consideration is<br />

given to households that engage in cultivation and households that do not –<br />

including households of internally displaced persons who were formally<br />

excluded from privatisation but were nevertheless successful and eager<br />

cultivators. The author asks, how far does private property thrive on its<br />

own, without the support of lucrative markets or the implementation of<br />

state-sponsored economic policies? Through the lens of economic anthropology<br />

she chronicles the historical legacy of authoritarian state structures<br />

and the contemporary micro- and macro-economic struggles that mark a<br />

politics of property after socialism.<br />
