The project

Titre: Civilization of Uzbekistan in the publications of French Orientalists of the XX and XXI centuries (History, Literature, Culture)

Central Asia has always attracted the attention of Europeans, especially French orientalists. For years, it was the platform for research by historians, politicians, literary critics and other disciplines. However, Central Asia, which had been a colony of the Russian Empire for a century and a half, was excluded from external international relations. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the former Soviet republics of Central Asia - Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan - declared their political independence and became equal members of the global community. Closed countries were opening up. Independence was undoubtedly a political event of world-historical importance. And so, in 1993, the first French scientific institution was created in Tashkent - the Institut français d'études d'Asie centrale, IFÉAC, and Pierre Chuvin was its first director. In addition to IFEAC, there are several research centers for the study of Central Asia in France, such as the Сhaîre de Collège de France: Etudes de l'Histoire et cultures de l'Asie centrale préislamique, CETOBaC-ЕHESS, CeRMI, SEECHAC and etc.... The sphere of interest of French Orientalists chronologically covers the entire history of the region from antiquity to modern times, and thematically all fields: history, archaeology, ethnography, geography, religion, literature, politics, etc., characterized by meticulous research, the objectivity of the scientific approach and the lack of politicization of historical research. Every year in these new states, they have witnessed the rehabilitation of several great historical cities (Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, Turkestan, Osh), great historical figures (Ulugh Beg, Tamerlan, Avicenna), literary ("Ali Shīr Navā'ī, Chulpān, "Abd al-Ra'ūf Fitrat, "Abd Allāh Qādirī, Shulpan) and religious (Ahmad Yasavi, Bahā' al-dīn Naqshband), all condemned, until a few years ago, by the old power. Over a period of some thirty years, they discovered many new facts in all the disciplines of the social sciences.
