| dc.description.abstract | The place that connects the histories of the Uyghurs and the Sibe is known today as Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. These two ethnic groups possess entirely different characteristics regarding language, culture and religion. However, after the Chinese Communist Party had assumed power, Xinjiang – the place itself – came to closely intertwine all their struggles for preserving their ethnic identity. The stories of these struggles told to this day are not suited to serve as reflective sources for gaining a full and authentic understanding of the past, but their referential truth is not necessarily a key question. To understand events unfolding in the present, it is perhaps more important to see how these stories, which serve as the subject of remembering and put the past in a retrospective perspective while nurturing identity-shaping local history narratives. The study focuses on the presentation of this process, offering some help in understanding it through touching upon questions related to categorization in historiography, aspirations of historiographers and their impact on society, as well as to the losable nature of the present. | |
