Abstract

"Evocative and enigmatic, the Silk Road occupies a unique place in contemporary culture and international affairs. Across the world, it has captured the imagination as a story of camel caravans crossing desert and mountain, of precious goods moving between East and West, and of ideas, religions and technologies migrating across land and sea. As China seeks to "revive" the Silk Roads for the twenty-first century, this compelling, yet poorly understood, narrative of history now serves as a platform for building trade, diplomatic, infrastructure and geopolitical connections. "The Silk Road: Connecting Histories and Futures" is the first book to critically investigate the merits and problems of this fabled geocultural narrative of history, and map out the role it plays in international affairs. Four thematic sections trace its rise to global fame as a domain of scholarship and foreign policy, a celebration of peace and internationalism, and how it created dreams of exploration and grand adventure. China's Health Silk Road and civilizational politics are among the themes discussed that open up the Silk Roads as a space for critical enquiry"--

Abstract

The Silk Road was the contemporary name for a complex of ancient trade routes linking East Asia with Central Asia, South Asia, and the Mediterranean world. This network of exchange emerged along the borders between agricultural China and the steppe nomads during the Han Dynasty (206BCE-220CE), in consequence of the inter-dependence and the conflicts of these two distinctive societies. In their quest for horses, fragrances, spices, gems, glassware, and other exotics from the lands to their west, the Han Empire extended its dominion over the oases around the Takla Makan Desert and sent silk all

Abstract

Les marchands sogdiens n'ont pas seulement contribué à l?importation de la soie chinoise en Occident ; ils ont aussi, à l'instar d'autres peuples centrasiatiques, comme les Ouighours ou les Tokhariens, participé à la reformulation du canon bouddhique avant son adoption par les Chinois. Les descendants de Gengis Khan n'ont pas seulement adopté la langue turque ; ils sont aussi passés au persan et ont établi la culture persane dans l'Inde du nord. Les Grecs nourris d'Aristote n'ont pas seulement rencontré à Aï Khanoum, dans l'actuel Afghanistan, les peuples de la steppe ; ils ont aussi laissé des traces dans les textes zoroastriens de la Perse. Les cinéastes russes réfugiés à Tachkent dans les années 1940 n'ont pas seulement apporté à l'Ouzbékistan des techniques nouvelles ; ils ont enrichi le cinéma soviétique de motifs centrasiatiques? La Route de la soie, cette invention du XIXe siècle, nous invite à aborder l'histoire du monde sans préjugés européocentristes. L'Asie centrale : lieu mythique, creuset exceptionnel d'influences lointaines, où les religions, les moeurs, les arts et les techniques se sont trouvés inextricablement mêlés. Ses territoires recouvrent l?ensemble des anciennes républiques soviétiques centrasiatiques et les territoires avoisinants du Xinjiang, de la Mongolie, de l'Afghanistan, de l'Iran, de l'Azerbaïdjan et de la Turquie. Ils offrent tous une stratification extrêmement complexe de transferts culturels aussi bien synchroniques que diachroniques. Un voyage dans le temps, à la rencontre de peuples et de civilisations qui se sont illustrés par une production artistique d?une richesse inouïe. Et la première synthèse accessible en français sur cette aire culturelle qui a depuis des siècles fasciné voyageurs et savants.
