Reconstructing a National Hero in the Post-colonial Memory Politics of Abkhazia: Debates over Kelesh Bey Shervashidze 在阿布哈兹后殖民记忆政治中重建民族英雄——关于凯莱什·贝·谢瓦希泽的争论

This article analyzes the reconstruction of the image of Prince Kelesh Bey Shervashidze (b. 1747) in the memory politics of Abkhazia through the prism of cultural resistance, from the perestroika period up to the present day. It argues that Abkhaz politicians use a dual approach to constructing the figure of Kelesh Bey. On the one hand, an anti-colonial narrative of the prince in opposition to the Russian and Soviet colonial system is created, and on the other hand, a more traditional colonial narrative aligned with Russia’s patronage of Abkhazia’s unrecognised statehood is also encouraged. However, the controversy over these discourses is formal in nature. The only real purpose of reviving the Russian and Soviet readings of Kelesh Bey is to hide Abkhaz cultural resistance from Russia, owing to the latter’s own dualistic status as embodying both Abkhazia’s former imperial center and its modern patron.
本文通过文化抵抗的棱镜,分析了从改革时期到今天,凯莱什·贝伊·舍瓦希泽亲王(生于1747年)在阿布哈兹记忆政治中的形象重建。它认为,阿布哈兹政客在塑造凯莱什·贝伊形象时使用了双重方法。一方面,王子反对俄罗斯和苏联殖民制度的反殖民叙事被创造出来,另一方面,与俄罗斯庇护阿布哈兹未被承认的国家地位相一致的更传统的殖民叙事也被鼓励。然而,对这些话语的争论是形式性的。恢复俄罗斯和苏联对凯莱什·贝伊的解读的唯一真正目的是掩盖阿布哈兹对俄罗斯的文化抵抗,因为后者本身具有双重身份,既体现了阿布哈兹的前帝国中心,又体现了其现代赞助人。

Law and State Practice in Armenia: Dealing with the Issues Concerning the Search, Exhumation and Identification of Missing Persons in Conflict Zones 亚美尼亚的法律和国家实践:处理冲突地区失踪人员的搜寻、发掘和身份确认问题

This article deals with missing persons in Armenia. So far around 5,000 people from all sides in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have been reported as having gone missing. This article contextualises the democratic and human rights situation in Armenia and argues that if progress is to occur, there needs to be a coordinating mechanism involving all conflict parties to search, recover, and identify the missing. One sign of progress is that a new Commission – the Inter-Agency Commission on POWs, Hostages and Missing Persons – was established in Armenia in 2019, and a new decree adopted. However, it needs to be reformed to allow it to be better suited to achieve the necessary goals. The study examines the law on the missing and finds that there is much confusion about the legislation, as it is scattered and often vague and unclear. The laws are aimed at, and applicable to, criminal cases, and not the humanitarian nature of such instances. It therefore argues that a new law ought to be adopted. A variety of recommendations are made in the article such as the need to enhance information collection, to find potential burial sites, and to systematically map and protect possible burial sites to ensure that future recovery and identification processes are not hindered.
本文涉及亚美尼亚境内的失踪人员。到目前为止,据报道,纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫冲突各方约有5000人失踪。这篇文章结合亚美尼亚的民主和人权状况,认为如果要取得进展,就需要有一个协调机制,让所有冲突各方参与搜寻、找回和确认失踪人员。取得进展的一个迹象是,2019年在亚美尼亚成立了一个新的委员会——战俘、人质和失踪人员机构间委员会,并通过了一项新法令。然而,它需要进行改革,使其更适合实现必要的目标。这项研究审查了关于失踪人员的法律,发现立法存在很多混乱,因为它是分散的,而且往往是模糊和不清楚的。这些法律针对并适用于刑事案件,而不是此类案件的人道主义性质。因此,它认为应该通过一项新的法律。文章中提出了各种建议,例如需要加强信息收集,寻找潜在的埋葬地点,以及系统地绘制和保护可能的埋葬地点的地图,以确保未来的恢复和识别过程不受阻碍。

Introduction: Understanding How the Historical, Democratic and Human Rights Contexts of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia Affect the Search, Exhumation, and Identification of Conflict-Related Missing Persons in the South Caucasus 简介:了解亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的历史、民主和人权背景如何影响南高加索地区与冲突有关的失踪人员的搜寻、挖掘和身份识别

This article introduces the Special Section dealing with conflict related missing persons in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It examines the context to the conflicts in the region and brings to the fore the fact that the breakup of the Soviet Union has had a massive legacy in terms of the conflicts it spawned, over identity matters and various territorial claims, and how that vestige lingers today. The article examines why the three countries are useful to analyse comparatively, what we can learn from them and how these issues are also reflective of the democratic and human rights status in each. This article ends by discussing the general problems relating to missing persons in the three countries, and why the law and the processes to deal with missing persons in these and many other countries around the world need to be reformed. The focus of each of the three country articles is then more inward-looking. They explore the situation in each country concerning missing persons, the institutions that have been established to deal with those matters, the laws that deal with missing persons, and what is needed to make progress on all the issues relating to missing persons.
本文介绍了处理亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚境内与冲突有关的失踪人员的特别科。它审视了该地区冲突的背景,并突出了这样一个事实,即苏联解体在其引发的冲突、身份问题和各种领土主张方面留下了巨大的遗产,以及这种遗产今天是如何挥之不去的。这篇文章探讨了为什么比较分析这三个国家是有用的,我们可以从中吸取什么,以及这些问题如何也反映出每个国家的民主和人权状况。本文最后讨论了这三个国家与失踪人员有关的一般问题,以及为什么这些国家和世界上许多其他国家的法律和处理失踪人员的程序需要改革。这三篇国别文章的焦点都更加向内看。他们探讨了每个国家关于失踪人员的情况,为处理这些问题而设立的机构,处理失踪人员的法律,以及在所有与失踪人员有关的问题上取得进展需要什么。

Events of the Russian Civil War in Abkhazia 1918–1921 in the Manuscript Sources of the Estonians from Abkhazia 来自阿布哈兹的爱沙尼亚人的手稿资料中的1918-1921年阿布哈兹的俄国内战事件

A number of Estonian settlements were formed in Abkhazia in the 1880s. This article uses archival sources, written memoirs, diaries and secondary literature to focus on the experiences of Estonians in Abkhazia during the Russian Civil War until the establishment of Soviet power in 1921. The article discusses what role the proclamation of the Republic of Estonia played for the settlers, and what the change of status from an internal migrant to an emigrant meant for the Estonian community in Abkhazia, but also the political opportunities that the establishment of Estonia as an independent republic brought to compatriots living in the diaspora.
19世纪80年代,许多爱沙尼亚人在阿布哈兹建立了定居点。本文利用档案资料、书面回忆录、日记和二手文献,重点关注俄罗斯内战期间爱沙尼亚人在阿布哈兹的经历,直到1921年苏维埃政权建立。这篇文章讨论了爱沙尼亚共和国的宣告对定居者的作用,从国内移民到移民的地位变化对阿布哈兹的爱沙尼亚社区意味着什么,以及爱沙尼亚作为一个独立共和国的建立给散居海外的同胞带来的政治机会。

Filling in the Urban Space: The “Port-Petrovsk” Fishery and Elemental Urbanization in Makhachkala 城市空间的填充:马哈奇卡拉“彼得罗夫斯克港”渔业与基本城市化

The paper is a case study of “Port-Petrovsk”, a large fishing and fish processing company in Makhachkala (Dagestan, Russia) that was purposefully driven to bankruptcy in 2007, leading some 5,300 people to lose their workplaces as well as access to many social services. The factory was bankrupted as there existed a small group willing to get rich on its assets. A considerable portion of the company’s former premises has already been sold and new apartment buildings have been erected there. Former workers and shareholders have been trying to reclaim their property and save the remaining company premises from being sold to developers. The case is presented against the background of what has been called elemental urbanization: a dynamic, chaotic and informal way of development of urban space in Makhachkala, one of the fastest growing cities in Russia. The whole process of conflict and negotiations around the company assets shows how property rights in Dagestan challenge the Western-set dichotomy of the individual versus the collective. Moreover, it presents property rights as a bundle that consist of legal, economic, and moral dimensions.
这篇论文是对“彼得罗夫斯克港”的案例研究,这是一家位于Makhachkala(俄罗斯达吉斯坦)的大型渔业和鱼类加工公司,2007年被故意推向破产,导致约5300人失去了工作场所和许多社会服务。这家工厂破产了,因为有一小群人愿意靠自己的资产致富。该公司相当一部分以前的办公场所已经出售,并在那里建造了新的公寓楼。前工人和股东一直在努力收回他们的财产,并避免将剩余的公司房产出售给开发商。该案例是在所谓的要素城市化的背景下提出的:这是俄罗斯发展最快的城市之一马哈奇卡拉城市空间的一种动态、混乱和非正式的发展方式。围绕公司资产的整个冲突和谈判过程表明,达吉斯坦的产权如何挑战西方设定的个人与集体的二分法。此外,它将财产权呈现为一个由法律、经济和道德维度组成的捆绑包。

Modernising Security: Vernacular (In)securities in the Public Space of Tbilisi after the Rose Revolution 现代化安全:玫瑰革命后第比利斯公共空间的乡土安全

This article explores the perceptions of personal (in)security in the public space of Tbilisi, Georgia following the Rose Revolution in 2003. Based on the concept of vernacular security, I suggest a bottom-up approach to the subject, focusing on its culturally and socially specific character and observing the production of the discourses of (in)security at the intersecting notions of modernisation/backwardness, formality/informality, criminality/lawfulness, and the West/Russia, reflecting post-revolutionary political, social, and cultural transformations. While the government of the Rose Revolution introduced full-scale reforms formalising security in Georgia, the article reveals that citizens’ perceptions of personal (in)security in the public space are often ambiguous and even self-contradicting, as they waver between the notions of formality and informality, often interpreting the same phenomenon as a source of both their security and insecurity.
本文探讨2003年玫瑰革命后,格鲁吉亚第比利斯民众对公共空间个人安全的看法。基于乡土安全的概念,我建议采用自下而上的方法来研究这一主题,关注其文化和社会特征,并在现代化/落后、正式/非正式、犯罪/合法、西方/俄罗斯等交叉概念下观察安全话语的产生,反映革命后的政治、社会和文化转型。虽然玫瑰革命政府在格鲁吉亚推行全面的安全改革,但这篇文章显示,公民对公共空间个人安全的看法往往模棱两可,甚至自相矛盾,因为他们在正式和非正式的概念之间摇摆不定,经常将同一现象解释为他们安全和不安全的来源。

This paper looks at the role of anthropological notions of time and space in the rituals, everyday life, discourse and the notable spaces of the Udi community in Oghuz (former Vartashen, Azerbaijan). This particular Udi community is examined through and studied within the context of the above-mentioned concepts. The text focuses on the local sacred plane tree, several chapels and narratives of the locals in relation to the concept of spacetime. This paper looks at how the idea of spacetime shapes the Udi community of Oghuz and its symbolic role in performing the identity within this community. Relying on ethnographic fieldwork in Oghuz and accompanying historical research, the paper shows the complex entanglement of spacetime narrative in the lives of the local Udis.

‘Nobody Will Marry You If You Don’t Have a Pension’. Female Bribing Practices in Dagestan, North Caucasus “如果你没有退休金,没有人会嫁给你”。北高加索达吉斯坦的女性贿赂行为

Gendered dimensions of informality have been only briefly studied by anthropologists. Therefore, while engaging in the debate on informality it is important to ask how women engage in informal practices, and whether these practices are gendered. In this paper we analyse female bribing practices in the Republic of Dagestan and take a closer look at the arrangements of state welfare benefits, particularly the disability allowance and the old age pensions. How do Dagestani women engage in bribing? Why is it mostly women who ‘arrange’ state welfare benefits? What are the implications of this engagement for them? Based on case studies from fieldwork in the Republic of Dagestan carried out between 2014–2019 we show that bribing practices are gendered. We also reveal that having the resources to outsmart the state by buying benefits empowers women in a society where patriarchal arrangements are predominant. More broadly, we discuss how resistance at one level may lead to unexpected empowerment at another. By emphasizing the female perspective, this paper makes a contribution to post-Soviet area studies and anthropological studies of corruption and informality more generally.
人类学家只对非正式性的性别维度进行了简短的研究。因此,在参与关于非正式性的辩论时,重要的是询问妇女如何参与非正式做法,以及这些做法是否具有性别特征。在本文中,我们分析了达吉斯坦共和国的女性贿赂行为,并仔细研究了国家福利的安排,特别是残疾津贴和养老金。达吉斯坦妇女是如何进行贿赂的?为什么主要是女性“安排”国家福利?这种参与对他们有什么影响?根据2014年至2019年间在达吉斯坦共和国进行的实地调查的案例研究,我们发现贿赂行为是性别化的。我们还发现,在父权制占主导地位的社会中,拥有通过购买福利来智胜国家的资源,赋予了女性权力。更广泛地说,我们讨论了一个层面的阻力如何会导致另一个层面出乎意料的赋权。通过强调女性视角,本文为后苏联地区的研究以及更普遍的腐败和非正式的人类学研究做出了贡献。

Therefore, while engaging in the debate on informality it is important to ask how women engage in informal practices, and whether these practices are gendered. In this paper we analyse female bribing practices in the Republic of Dagestan and take a closer look at the arrangements of state welfare benefits, particularly the disability allowance and the old age pensions. How do Dagestani women engage in bribing? Why is it mostly women who ‘arrange’ state welfare benefits? What are the implications of this engagement for them? Based on case studies from fieldwork in the Republic of Dagestan carried out between 2014–2019 we show that bribing practices are gendered. We also reveal that having the resources to outsmart the state by buying benefits empowers women in a society where patriarchal arrangements are predominant. More broadly, we discuss how resistance at one level may lead to unexpected empowerment at another. By emphasizing the female perspective, this paper makes a contribution to post-Soviet area studies and anthropological studies of corruption and informality more generally.","PeriodicalId":37506,"journal":{"name":"Caucasus Survey","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42735806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ungovernance and Spiritual Feudalism in Northeast Highland Georgia 乔治亚高原东北部的无政府状态与精神封建主义

It seems a paradox that on the one hand, the communities of northeast highland Georgia have often been represented as somewhat egalitarian in respect to their political organisation while on the other hand, their religious worlds are highly hierarchical and ordered by the principles of feudality. One very probable explanation for this seeming paradox points to the compatibility of the feudal norms with the patriarchal and clan-based social organisation of these communities. This article is the attempt to introduce another interpretation, namely that the religious system in northeast highland Georgia reflects the pain of being governed by a coercive power that is associated with the hierarchical political system of the lowland. The political system, I argue, is constructed as a counter-image of the religious system, delegating coercive power to the realm of the exceptional and tabooing its usage in the organisation of political life. In this juxtaposition, coercive power becomes internalised, albeit as a negative pole. The politics of ungovernance, in this sense, aims towards the neutralisation of coercive power, a power that people know all too well through “religious” experiences. The latter argument contradicts the dictum that anti-state societies experience coercive power as exterior.
这似乎是一个悖论,一方面,乔治亚州东北部高地的社区在政治组织方面经常表现为某种程度上的平等主义,而另一方面,他们的宗教世界却高度等级化,并按照封建原则进行排序。对于这一看似矛盾的现象,一个非常可能的解释是封建规范与这些社区的宗法和宗族社会组织的兼容性。本文试图引入另一种解释,即格鲁吉亚东北部高地的宗教制度反映了与低地等级政治制度相关的强制性权力统治的痛苦。我认为,政治体系是作为宗教体系的对立面而构建的,它将强制权力委托给例外的领域,并禁止其在政治生活组织中的使用。在这种并列的情况下,强制性权力被内化了,尽管是作为一个消极的极点。从这个意义上说,不治理的政治旨在消除强制性权力,这种权力是人们通过“宗教”经验所熟知的。后一种观点与反国家社会将强制权力视为外部力量的格言相矛盾。
