Dialogue of cultures

Dialogue of culturesDear contributors, 
We are happy to announce a permanent partnership between the «New Research of Tuva» and RUDN University. RUDN’s mission statement is «Uniting people of different cultures by knowledge, RUDN University creates leaders to make the World better». Thanks to our editorial collaboration, we are now starting a new permanent section in our journal. 
Dialogue of cultures. This section invites articles on comparative Tuvan studies. Tuva and Tuvan ethnic culture form a part of Russia and its culture but nevertheless they also belong to the region of Siberia, Buddhist culture, Turkic-speaking world and of the unique cultures of Central Asia and the Sayan-Altai region. Tuvan culture can be seen as a counterpart to those developed by other nomadic societies. We invite contributions  which provide intercultural analysis and draw parallels between historical facts, social, sociocultural and ethnocultural events and processes in Tuva and other comparable regions of various area. We hope this will be of use to both Tuvan studies and social sciences and humanities dealing with other ethnic cultures. Chronologically, contributions can cover the journal’s priorities and research interests from the period when Tuvan ethnicity arose in 17th and 18th centuries to the present day, with a special focus on 20th century and the current period.

Call for articles The New Research of Tuva, No. 2, 2020 Issue theme: Tuva’s archives in the changing world: their history, using and preserving documents

Call for articles The New Research of Tuva, No. 2, 2020 Issue theme: Tuva’s archives in the changing world:  their history, using and preserving documentsDear colleagues,

We are looking for contributions to the thematic issue of The New Research of Tuva journal (http://nit.tuva.asia, No.2 2020, to be published in June 2020). Titled "Tuva’s archives in the changing world: their history, using and preserving documents”, the issue will be guest-edited by Maia Salchakovna Maadyr, Candidate of History (Tuvan State University). Archival documents preserve the undying memory of history and are an inexhaustible source of facts and events from the past, as well as of a variety of information on people of bygone days. It is for a reason that archives are known as repositories of collective memory of human societies. Thus, maintaining archives forms a crucial part of historical knowledge. 1930s saw the rise of archival work in Tuva, which was due to some particularities of its historical development, as well as other factors. Since 1944. when Tuva acceded to the USSR, its archival funds have been part of the USSR archives, and since 1991, of the Russian Federation’s. Correspondingly, the archival work in the region had its ups and downs, successes and tragedies. The system underwent a number of reforms in a quest for the optimal development path.

Special issue “Information technologies in Tuvan philology studies”

Dear colleagues!
The New Research of Tuva is delighted to announce a call for articles for a special issue (to be released in December as No. 4, 2016). It will focus on the topic of "Information technologies in Tuvan philology studies”. Candidate of Philology, Docent M.V. Bavuu-Surun, director of "Turkic Studies” Scientific Educational Center of  Tuvan State University will guest edit the issue.
Language is an important component of a peoples culture. Nowadays almost all the languages of small nations in Russian Federation are under the danger of disappearance, many of them will vanish in nearest future. This actualizes the task of keeping the language as a mean of communication and learning. Tuvan language is not an exception though it has been a full-scale mean of communication and learning for Tuvans just decades ago. Unfortunately, a gradual process of language deprivation is being enforced by globalization and became more intense on the bound of centuries. But the native speakers have not fully perceived the danger hanging over the Tuvan language.

Special issue “The new data on the history of the Peoples Republic of Tuva (1921-1944)”Dear colleagues! The New Research of Tuva is delighted to announce a call for articles for a special issue (to be released in September as No. 3, 2016). It will focus on the topic of "The new data on the history of the Peoples Republic of Tuva (1921-1944)”. Nikolay M. Mollerov from the Tuvan Institute for the Humanities and Applied Socioeconomic Studies will guest edit the issue. 

History of Tuva as independent state Peoples Republic of Tuva (1921–1944), is a rich field for investigation because many documents of the period have not been studied (or even discovered). This was the time when the Republic established many fields of public life in close cooperation with its northern neighbor – Russia, which led to a subsequent voluntaryaccession of PRT into the USSR. The questions of interest includehow this process happened, which documents attest to it, how they are being interpreted, what has already been done by the historians and what still lies ahead; what is the role of certain persons in times of change.

Photo courtesy of Alash Ensemble Ayan-ool Sam, Bady-Dorzhu Ondar, Ayan ShirizhikPhoto courtesy of Alash Ensemble Ayan-ool Sam, Bady-Dorzhu Ondar, Ayan ShirizhikThe Metro Charleston music scene offered up a rare treat when Tuvan throat singing trio Alash played a free show recently at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in Summerville.

While difficult to describe succinctly, the singing relies heavily on harmonics and, at times, features the singer producing multiple notes simultaneously. Traditional folk guitar, flute, and drum often round out the performance.

Currently on tour promoting their third album, Achai, Alash is comprised of Ayan-ool Sam, Bady-Dorzhu Ondar, and Ayan Shirizhik, all deeply experienced musicians who have been performing since they were young children.
