Cahiers d’Extrême-Asie, vol. 23 (2014)Des mondes en devenir. Interethnicité et production de la différence en Chine du Sud-Ouest / Worlds in the making: Interethnicity and the processes of generating difference in Southwestern ChinaThe image of a monolithic, immobile China is rather antiquated and yet the obvious complexity of this country-cum-continent is now more readily accepted,if not understood. This special issue address this topic from historical and anthropological perspectives in the hope of contributing to a better understanding of this inner (“ethnic”) diversity that characterizes China today, like yesterday, and especially its southwestern border regions. Several contributors to this volume (David Atwill, Lara Maconi, Patrick Booz) are members of the international research programme entitled “Territories, Communities, and Exchanges in the Sino-Tibetan Kham Borderlands” funded by the European Research Council (ERC, Starting Grant no. 283,870) and coordinated by Stéphane Gros. While this special issue is the result of exchanges within this research project, other colleagues have been invited to contribute to it in order to broaden the scope. Together we have set out to compare a variety of visions and conceptualizations of these regions of China located at the crossroads between Southeast Asia and Tibet, and to provide additional insight and criticism of the analytical categories we use whenever we think Otherness and identity building.SOMMAIRE / CONTENTStéphane Gros - IntroductionCONTRIBUTIONSDavid G.
