| Description | One-day workshop intended to discuss cultural parallels between the regions of Southeast Asia (Sichuan, Yunnan, Vietnam ...) and larger Inner Asia (Mongolia, Korea), mutually motivating different methodological approaches to the study of the self-understanding of local minority communities, the original and innovated functions of oral and written traditions, and their testimony to ancient and more recent temporal and spatial cosmologies. First part of the workshop was represented by keynote Dr Katherine Swancutt, Project Lead of the ERC synergy grant ‘Cosmological Visionaries: Shamans, Scientists, and Climate Change at the Ethnic Borderlands of China and Russia’, and her team members. The second part of the workshop included presentations by team members of the Czech Science Foundation Junior Star grant ‘Changing Adaptive Strategies of Mobile Pastoralists in Mongolia: Dynamics in Community Histories and Movement Patterns Documented Through Oral Sources (GM23-07108M)’ and the Czech Science Foundation Standard grant ‘Evolutionary interferences of religion and governance in Inner Asia: comparison of mutual impacts with tributary countries: Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam’. |
