October
■ International Workshop: Colonial and Postcolonial in Recent History of Central Asia (since the 1960s till Present)◆◇◆
Date & Time: 10 October 2023 (Tue), 15:30–19:20 (GMT+9)
Venue:Room 403, Slavic-Eurasian Research Center (SRC), Hokkaido University, and online via Zoom
Abstract:The ongoing Russia’s war against Ukraine echoed in re-discovery of postcolonial debate in the studies of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Albeit the focus of this reassessment predominantly falls onto Russo-centric and (post)socialist patterns of power, there is a call for broader comparisons of postcolonial. Central Asia in particular appears as an area of various intercrossing colonial projections. This Workshop invites scholars to rethink (post)colonial in Central Asia during the socialist period (starting since the 1960s) and its aftermath. We would like to analyse how imperial and colonial relationships within the USSR formed the realm of ideas about (socialist) modernisation and anti-modernisation in and for Central Asia. To discuss this, the Workshop embraces a wide range of interconnected topics: the Soviet foreign policy and development politics inside Central Asia, socialist plan and resource-dependency, transformation of political and intellectual elite and cultural production.

Abstract: Based on evidence collected in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and corroborated by findings from other world regions, this seminar will look at the way informality (here defined as "the art of bypassing the state") can be regarded through at economic but also socio-cultural lenses. Footing on Gudeman's distinction between the market and the society, we will look at different form of informal practices to engage with a governance interpretative framework. Informality is certainly a phenomenon that originates in economic, or even monetary, practices. However, often the significance and impact of such practices goes beyond its economic one. Informality can be regarded as a feedback mechanism and a tool that can help us evaluate the quality of governance at the national or regional level as well as a way to propose solutions to issues that the government has overlooked or is unable to identify.
Suggested readings: "Informality in Ukraine and beyond: one name, different flavours"
"What is informality? (Mapping) 'the art of bypassing the state' in Eurasian spaces - and beyond"
