趣旨

Nearly 20 years have passed since the disappearance of many of the socialistregimes. However, understanding of the past and present socialist societies is by nomeans uniform. For instance, many pundits still believe that socialist regimes simplyfailed. And yet many are nostalgic of the good old socialist period. Changingretrospective understanding of socialist periods also powerfully informs the currenteconomic, political and social dynamics in those countries. Hence, the continuedrelevance of studying socialist societies today.
In December 2008, researchers gathered at the University of Cambridge for theconference “Oral Histories of Socialist Modernities: Memories and LivedExperiences in Central and Inner Asia” (see www.jacas.jp/meeting/2008/program20091216.doc). Participants presented papers on socialist modernities experienced in China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russian Siberia. Drawing on oral history research, the conference proved a unique opportunity for comparison, and it raised a number of issues.
Politicization of research results was one major issue raised by the participants, as results might expose to danger respondents in some turbulent areas, such as Tibet. On the other hand, the intrinsic value of the collected oral histories was discussed, because some respondents might restrain themselves in their responses, for fear of troubles with local authorities or just for personal convenience. It indicates that oral history research results are contextually contingent rather than closer to “truth”. These issues are common to anthropological research, not just a methodological issue of oral history alone.
This conference. “Ideals, Narratives and Practices of Modernities in Former and Current Socialist Countries”. is a sequel to the one in Cambridge with an extended scope. It will not be limited to memories and oral histories, but include archival materials. The concept of narrative is a wider one intended for contextual discussion of both oral history and the ways modernities have been represented and practiced both by the socialist states and by their citizens.
