SUMMARY:Transforming Landscapes of Aid: How Gulf Business\, the War in Ukraine\, and Equestrian Sports Change Small-Town Kyrgyzstan
DESCRIPTION:Join Till Mostowlansky\, Research Professor and Eccellenza Professorial Fellow in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at The Graduate Institute Geneva\, present his latest work: Transforming Landscapes of Aid: How Gulf Business\, the War in Ukraine\, and Equestrian Sports Change Small-Town Kyrgyzstan. \nOver the last decade\, international development in Kyrgyzstan has undergone significant transformations. Despite the ongoing presence of diverse foreign organizations\, notable shifts have occurred with the emergence of new contributors to aid\, such as entities from the Gulf states\, alongside increased trade revenues from China. This talk centers on a small town in southern Kyrgyzstan\, delving into the concrete materialization of these influences within its social and political landscape. Drawing upon continuous ethnographic research conducted since 2022\, the talk explores the intersection of Islamic charity with the state\, the influence of excess on ideas of the good\, and how equestrian sports serve as a catalyst for redistribution. \nTill Mostowlansky is a Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the Geneva Graduate Institute. He is the author of Azan on the Moon: Entangling Modernity along Tajikistan’s Pamir Highway (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2017) as well as co-editor of Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia (University of Hawai’i Press\, 2023) and Humanitarianism from Below: The Alternative Politics of Universalism (UCL Press\, under contract).
