Abstract (AI)
This collection brings together a variety of anthropological, historical and sociological case studies from Central Asia and the Caucasus to examine the concept of translocality. The chapters scrutinize the capacity of translocality to describe, in new ways, the multiple mobilities, exchange practices and globalizing processes that link places, people and institutions in Central Asia and the Caucasus with others in Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates.
Key Findings
1
Non-elite mobilities (cross-border traders, travelling students, business people, refugees) offer alternative ways to conceptualize contemporary 'global' dynamics.
2
The chapters emphasize processes of translation and negotiation as central to how meaningful localities emerge beyond conventional boundaries.
3
The volume argues locality should be understood as relational rather than a geographically bounded unit, overcoming territorial containers like the nation-state.
4
Three conceptual approaches to translocality are proposed: tracing embodiment/narration/virtualization/institutionalization; treating locality as relational; and viewing non-elite mobilities as key to global processes.
5
Translocality is a productive concept for studying cross-regional connectivities and networks linking Central Asia and the Caucasus with Russia, China, and the UAE.
