The paper focuses on one of the most sacred mountains of Tibet, A-myes-rma-chen, located in east Tibet (contemporary mGo-log Prefecture, Qinghai Province, People’s Republic of China). It deals mainly with two topics: the ongoing vivid revitalisation of the cult of the mountain and its deity since the Cultural Revolution, and how this interacts with the current changes at the site due to state-planned modernisation and development within the ‘Great Development of the West’ (Xibu da kaifa) strategy extensively implemented since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Particular attention is paid to the recent great circumambulation pilgrimage to A-myes-rma-chen, performed once every 12 years in a Horse Year, which took place in 2014/15, in the Horse Year 2143 of the Tibetan calendar. The article shows the present form of the pilgrimage, its reflection of and accustomisation to these changes, and the resulting quick transformation of the institution of pilgrimage. Pilgrims’ and local people’s understandings and views, alterations and modifications of their behaviour and pilgrimage practice, as well as actual reactions, are discussed. The article argues that the site of A-myes-rma-chen is currently being reinterpreted by the state in a secularised, commodifying and territorialising discourse in order to incorporate the area more closely, both politically and culturally. A-myes-rma-chen thus represents a space contested by different cultural and interest groups.

Given the attempts within human geography over the last 30 years to disassemble academic boundaries, agricultural geographers now appear to be a rare breed. My reading of Stefan Ouma’s book, more research monograph, came from this endangered agricultural geography perspective! I was transported by this volume back to the mid-1980s when a radical new way of thinking about agriculture emerged in geography; that of the modified political economy perspective (‘modified’ to take account of agency; a nuance that has not always been fully appreciated – see Marsden et al., 1996). Co-authored by Richard Munton, whom Ouma describes at one point (34) as ‘probably the leading scholar on assetization of farmland in the United Kingdom at that time’, the ‘buzz word’ was the ‘restructuring’ of agriculture (Marsden et al., 1986). The central focus for the approach was the family labour-based farm and its prospects for survival; one with deeper roots to Kautsky’s ‘Agrarian Question’ itself. This arose in the context of a fierce industrialisation of agriculture, a phenomenon proceeding at pace and attracting increasing research attention from agricultural geographers; as testified by the collection of works in the first half of Healey and Ilbery’s (1985) book on The Industrialisation of the Countryside. Features discussed included vertical integration of production, a managerialist approach to farming on the ground, and, crucially, the subsumption (both direct and indirect) of factors of production (including land) by industrial capitals. Many are now raised again in Ouma’s book. To cut a long story short, the general conclusion from the application of a modified political economy approach to agriculture at this time was that there would be no ‘disappearing middle’. Farm families had survived, and would continue to survive, in business, in the UK at least, because it was in the interests of corporate capitals to avoid owning land and tying up money in something fixed with unattractive ‘long capital turnover time’ (Goss et al., 1979: 19). Having solved that hitherto stubborn problem, agricultural geographers subsequently became distracted away from agrarian industrialisation into the realms of: farm diversification (eventually leading to whole new theorisations, including my pet hate of ‘post-productivism’! – see Evans et al., 2002); agri-environmental policy; and the broader ‘geography of food’ (Atkins, 1988). But, how does this saunter down memory lane relate to Ouma’s book? For me, and after more than three decades, it essentially picks up where we left off with the industrialisation of agriculture. In other words, it represents the type of investigative work agricultural geographers should, and possibly would, have done next if focus had been maintained on this theme. Ouma himself declares that he was inspired by Worthington’s (1979) work for the Countryside Commission (a UK Government Book review forum
鉴于过去30年来人文地理学试图打破学术界限，农业地理学家现在似乎是一个罕见的品种。我阅读斯特凡·奥玛的书，更多的研究专著，来自于这种濒危农业地理的视角！这本书让我想起了20世纪80年代中期，当时地理学出现了一种全新的农业思维方式；修改后的政治经济学视角（“修改”以考虑代理；这一细微差别并不总是得到充分理解——见Marsden等人，1996年）。由Richard Munton合著，Ouma曾一度（34）将其描述为“可能是当时英国农田资产化的领先学者”，“流行词”是农业的“重组”（Marsden et al.，1986）。该方法的中心重点是以家庭劳动力为基础的农场及其生存前景；与考茨基的“土地问题”本身有着更深的渊源。这是在农业激烈工业化的背景下产生的，这一现象正在迅速发展，并吸引了农业地理学家越来越多的研究关注；Healey和Ilbery（1985）关于乡村工业化的书的前半部分的作品集证明了这一点。所讨论的特征包括生产的垂直一体化，对实地农业的管理主义方法，以及至关重要的是，工业资本对生产要素（包括土地）的包容（包括直接和间接）。许多人现在在奥马的书中再次被提起。长话短说，当时对农业应用改良的政治经济学方法得出的总体结论是，不会出现“消失的中间派”。至少在英国，农场家庭在商业上生存了下来，并将继续生存下去，因为避免拥有土地和将资金捆绑在不具吸引力的“长资本周转时间”固定项目中符合企业资本的利益（Goss et al.，1979:19）。在解决了这个迄今为止顽固的问题后，农业地理学家随后从农业工业化转移到了以下领域：农业多样化（最终导致了全新的理论，包括我最讨厌的“后生产力”！——见Evans等人，2002年）；农业环境政策；以及更广泛的“食物地理”（Atkins，1988）。但是，这段漫步在记忆中的时光与奥马的书有什么关系呢？对我来说，三十多年后，它基本上恢复了我们农业工业化的现状。换言之，它代表了农业地理学家下一步应该做的，也可能会做的调查工作，如果一直关注这个主题的话。奥马本人宣称，他受到沃辛顿（1979年）为乡村委员会（英国政府书评论坛）所做工作的启发

This paper discusses forced labour migrations in the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the Stalin era. It attempts to set this regional case in the context of deportations and ‘special settlements’ in the USSR as a whole. It points out that forced labour migrants were not only sent to the Buryat Republic from western regions of the USSR; various categories of the ‘repressed’ were also deported from the Republic and displaced within it. The paper focusses on relations between forced migrants and the rest of society, with particular attention to Germans and Lithuanians sent into Buryatia and to Buryats exiled from the same regions.
