In The Mongol Empire between Myth and Reality , Denise Aigle presents the Mongol empire as a moment of contact between political ideologies, religions, cultures and languages, and, in terms of reciprocal representations, between the Far East, the Muslim East, and the Latin West. The first part is devoted to “The memoria of the Mongols in historical and literary sources” in which she examines how the Mongol rulers were perceived by the peoples with whom they were in contact. In “Shamanism and Islam” she studies the perception of shamanism by Muslim authors and their attempts to integrate Genghis Khan and his successors into an Islamic framework. The last sections deal with geopolitical questions involving the Ilkhans, the Mamluks, and the Latin West. Genghis Khan’s successors claimed the protection of “Eternal Heaven” to justify their conquests even after their Islamization.

Dépassant le concept abstrait de "ville émergente" , cet ouvrage constitué de neuf études, nous permet de comprendre le "modèle chinois" dans son efficience et son pouvoir de transformation de l'espace urbain depuis une vingtaine d'années, au Xinjiang ouïghour et en Mongolie intérieure. Outil stratégique dans la "sinisation" des villes-oasis des Routes de la soie, de peuplement Ouïgour et de confession musulmane, la régularité chinoise modèle les zones d'expansion que sont, avec le Tibet, le Xinjiang et la Mongolie. Le développement économique que la Chine connaît depuis une vingtaine d'années confère à cette réorganisation de l'espace engagée en réalité depuis le début de notre ère, une rapidité et une radicalité exceptionnelles. Des scenarii inédits de destruction, de transformation ou d'édification de villes apparaissent : à Kashgar, Urumqi, Ordos. Un ouvrage essentiel pour comprendre les transformations de l'espace urbain dans cette partie du monde.

Nomads on Pilgrimage: Mongols on Wutaishan (China), 1800-1940 is a social history of the Mongols’ pilgrimages to Wutaishan in late imperial and Republican times. In this period of economic crisis and rise of nationalism and anticlericalism in Mongolia and China, this great Buddhist mountain of China became a unique place of intercultural exchanges, mutual borrowings, and competition between different ethnic groups. Based on a variety of written and visual sources, including a rich corpus of more than 340 Mongolian stone inscriptions, it documents why and how Wutaishan became one of the holiest sites for Mongols, who eventually reshaped its physical and spiritual landscape by their rites and strategies of appropriation.

"In this innovative study, Erica Brindley examines how, during the period 400 BCE-50 CE, Chinese states and an embryonic Chinese empire interacted with peoples referred to as the Yue/Viet along its southern frontier. Brindley provides an overview of current theories in archaeology and linguistics concerning the peoples of the ancient southern frontier of China, the closest relations on the mainland to certain later Southeast Asian and Polynesian peoples. Through analysis of Warring States and early Han textual sources, she shows how representations of Chinese and Yue identity invariably fed upon, and often grew out of, a two-way process of centering the self while de-centering the other. Examining rebellions, pivotal ruling figures from various Yue states, and key moments of Yue agency, Brindley demonstrates the complexities involved in identity formation and cultural hybridization in the ancient world and highlights the ancestry of cultures now associated with southern China and Vietnam"--
