Abstract

In recent years, the Sino-Tibetan frontier regions have attracted increasing scholarly interest. The region of Rebkong in Qinghai province is of particular significance because of its unique location on the Sino-Tibetan borderland, its multi-ethnic population and its complex religious history, which incorporates both large Geluk monasteries and significant Nyingma and Bonpo lay tantric communities. Covering the nineteenth century to the present, this volume brings together ten papers that explore the relationship between religion and culture in Rebkong. Using insights from anthropology, history and religious studies, the contributors offer new research and fresh interpretations of this important region on China’s periphery, discussing issues of ethnicity and identity, the role of public institutions, and the role of religion and rituals.

Abstract

Based on richly detailed ethnographic materials, the author of this monograph describes how nomads in the Tibetan highlands employ motorcycles, cars, and mobile telephones. The study is grounded in theoretical and methodological conceptions of mobile technologies and mobility, making it of great interest to Asian scholars and comparatists in the social and communication sciences. Dieser Band betrachtet die Verflechtung von Infrastruktur und Mobilitätstechnologien mit dem Alltag tibetischer Nomaden. Anhand von detailreichen ethnografischem Material beschreibt die Autorin, in welcher Weise Nomaden des tibetischen Hochlands mobile Technologien wie Motorräder, Autos und Mobiltelefone nutzen. Alltagspraktiken der Mobilkommunikation und der motorisierten Mobilität führen zu einer Translokalität, welche nomadische Akteure in Urbanisierungsprozesse Chinas implizieren, die seit der Jahrtausendwende auch Ost- und Nordosttibet verändern. Das Buch beleuchtet damit bislang kaum untersuchte Aspekte des Wandels in einer tibetischen Region und schlägt eine Brücke zu gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen der Urbanisierung und Technisierung der Gesellschaft. Eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Konzepten zu mobilen Technologien und Mobilität macht das Buch über die Asienwissenschaft hinaus auch für die vergleichenden Sozial- u. Kommunikationswissenschaften interessant.
