【演講活動】Reclaiming Nomadic Identity: The World Nomad Games through a Decolonial Lens
講座介紹
Adina Masalbekova 現為國防安全研究院的訪問研究員，主要研究領域為中國在中亞的戰略敘事，以及台灣與中亞的關係。她來自吉爾吉斯，曾任職於比許凱的歐安組織學院（OSCE Academy），以及荷蘭的 CESS NL、英國的 GPG 與德國的 N-OST.org。她的研究涵蓋中亞外交政策、中國政治敘事、公眾外交，以及該地區的經濟與安全合作。
本次講座將帶領學生探討傳統體育、馬術文化與活態遺產，如何成為實現文化復振與去殖民抵抗的重要媒介。世界遊牧民族運動會最初起源於吉爾吉斯共和國，旨在弘揚傳統的力量與藝術美學；如今其影響力已超越區域邊界，成為全球遊牧民族、俄羅斯聯邦境內亞裔族群及世界各地社群凝聚共鳴、歡慶共同遊牧身分的核心舞台。
本研討會將透過「去殖民」的視角，剖析古老運動、儀式與傳統的復興，如何幫助被邊緣化的遊牧文化打破殖民敘事、抵禦歷史同理與同化，並進一步探討這種文化復振能否為跨國團結奠定基礎。
Introduction
Adina Masalbekova is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for National Defense and Security
Research with a focus on Chinese strategic narratives in Central Asia and Taiwan - Central Asia relations. Originally from Kyrgyzstan, she previously worked with OSCE Academy in Bishkek and CESS NL, GPG UK and N-OST.org Germany. Her work examines Central Asian foreign policy & Chinese political narratives, public diplomacy, and economic and security cooperation in the region.
The lecture invites students to explore how traditional sports, equestrian culture and living heritage serve as powerful instruments of cultural reclamation and decolonial resistance. While the World Nomad Games originated in Kyrgyz Republic as a celebration of traditional strength and artistry, their evolution has transcended regional borders, providing a vital stage for nomadic cultures, Asian nations within the Russian Federation, and other communities worldwide to celebrate shared nomadic identity.
Through a decolonial framework, this seminar examines how the revival of ancient games, rituals and traditions allows marginalized nomadic cultures to dismantle colonial narratives, resist historical assimilation, and whether it can advocate for transnational solidarity.
