The paper will establish a connection between folktales and the cultural history of a region, particularly with respect to the Indian state of Manipur. It is premised on the belief that a study of folktales can alert us not only to the various interconnections between folktales and the cultural history of a place but also help analyse the dynamics of the publication of the anthologies of folktales in relation to this cultural history. The paper will include analyses of Meitei and tribal tales pertaining to the nationalist phase and contemporary period in the history of the North Eastern Indian state of Manipur and look at how in the past few years, compilers and translators have incorporated versions of tales different from the earlier anthologies, establishing a direct link between the tales and the times of their publication.

Linguistic studies have shown that the traditional idea that the expansion of the Inca Empire was the driving force behind the spread of all Quechua cannot be correct. Across much of its distribution, Quechua has far greater time-depth than can be accounted for by the short-lived Inca Empire. Linguistics likewise suggests that Aymara spread not from the south into Cuzco in the late Pre-Inca period, but also from an origin to the north. Alternative explanations must be sought for the expansion of these language families in the culture history of the Andes. Archaeological studies over the past two decades now provide a broad, generally agreed-upon outline of the cultural history of the Cuzco region. This chapter applies those findings to examine alternative possibilities for the driving forces that spread Quechua and Aymara, offering a clearer cross-disciplinary view of Andean prehistory.

AbstractIn 2009 and 2010, a series of archaeological investigations were conducted in and around the Mudu archaic city site located in the southwestern highland of Greater Suzhou, Jiangsu. The excavations revealed sections of the north circumference wall at Wufeng and the water gate of the south circumference wall at Xinfeng. The surveys identified the possible locations of the east and the west circumference walls. Diagnostic proto-porcelain and stamped potsherds were recovered. It is tentatively argued that both the north and the south walls were built and in use during the late Spring-and-Autumn Period. The Mudu Site, therefore, was a large-scale walled settlement functioned as a regional center of its time. These findings are instrumental in the search for the lost capital of Wu State of the Spring-and-Autumn Period, the understanding of the relationship among the various contemporary settlement sites, cairns, earthen mounds, and caches distributed in the region, and the reconstruction of the local cultural history of Eastern Zhou.

В статье исследуется биография и деятельность Саукудза Кавдыновича Гуриева - выдающегося представителя научной интеллигенции Северной Осетии начала XX века, просветителя, педагога, языковеда, собирателя осетинского устного народного творчества, внесшего большой вклад в развитие национальной культуры, осетинского языка, его орфографию, грамматику, терминологию. В октябре 2017 года исполнилось 140 лет со дня рождения Г.К. Гуриева. Просветительство как главная миссия осетинской интеллигенции реализовывалось посредством основания школ, преподавательской, научной, переводческой и издательской деятельности, активного участия в благотворительных и культурно-просветительских учреждениях, направленных на поддержку образования, культуры и формирования национального самосознания осетин. Помимо основной педагогической и литературной деятельности Гуриев активно занимался просветительством. Он является составителем ряда учебников на осетинском языке для начальной осетинской школы. Гуриев внес большой вклад в сохранение - культурного наследия осетин. В течение ряда лет, путем записей от старожилов, им был собран большой сборник произведений осетинского устного народного творчества, куда вошли нартовские сказания, сказки, пословицы, поговорки. Материалы фондов Научного архива СОИГСИ, впервые введенные в научный оборот, позволили существенно уточнить биографию Гуриева, факты его просветительской и учебно-литературной деятельности. Материалы статьи способствуют более глубокому и обновленному исследованию национальной интеллигенции Северной Осетии. Изучение истории отдельных людей, локальных событий и явлений в конкретно-исторических данностях является основой реконструирования общих процессов и помогает интерпретировать социокультурное поле региона как часть социокультурной истории России. The article deals with the biography and activities of Saukudz Kavdynovich Guriev, who was an outstanding representative of the scientific intelligentsia of North Ossetia of the early 20th century, an educator, teacher, philologist, a collector of Ossetian oral folklore, he made a great contribution to the development of national culture, the Ossetian language, its orthography, grammar, terminology. October 2017 is the 140th anniversary of Guriev. Enlightenment as the main mission of the Ossetian intelligentsia was realized through founding of schools, teaching, research, translation and publishing activities, active participation in charitable and cultural-educational institutions to support education, culture and the formation of national identity. In addition to the main pedagogical and literary activity G.K. Guriev was actively engaged in enlightenment. He is the author of several textbooks on the Ossetian language for elementary school in Ossetia. Guriev contributed greatly to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Ossetians. Over the years, through records from the old-timers, he assembled a large collection of works by the Ossetian oral folklore, Nart legends, tales, proverbs, and sayings. Materials of the funds of the Scientific archive of the North Ossetian Institute for Humanitarian and Social Studies, brought into scientific circulation, have greatly clarified his biography, facts of his educational and literary activities. The article contains data that will promote better and updated research of the national intelligentsia of North Ossetia. The study of the history of individual people, local events and phenomena in specific historical factors is the basis of the engineering of the overall processes and helps to interpret the socio-cultural field in the region as part of a socio-cultural history of Russia.

Political Unions

The five Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - share a common cultural history. Four of them are closely related linguistically. Through the ages they have also been politically linked in a variety of combinations, causing both dramatic confrontations and inspiring nationalistic movements not without bearing on the museum history of the countries. The most lasting political unions were those between Denmark, Iceland and Norway (1380- 1814; Iceland stayed with Denmark until 1944) and between Finland and Sweden (1323-1809). In times of aggression from the 'outside' a loyalty between the Nordic countries based on the common history has also appeared and in the years after 1945 formal organisations have been established to promote cooperation in various fields of common interest.
