“…Scholars such as Wang Yong and Cao Juren sought out Zhang's work as a means of charting the transnational and transcivilizational flows of people and ideas in China's past (Xue, 1935:38). Most recently, scholars in Taiwan studies use Chen as a source for reconstructing the precolonial or "pre-invasion" history of the island (Thompson, 1964;Li, 2001;Chou, 2003;Jacobs, 2016).…”

This article argues that Taiwan’s distinctive historical position—at the centre of multiple overlapping colonial jurisdictions and historiographical traditions—furnishes an important opportunity to consider how indigenous pasts and experiences themselves played a role in disrupting or redirecting historical narratives of global connection. It examines texts by Ming travellers Chen Di (Dongfan ji, 1603) and Zhang Xie (Dong Xi yang kao, 1603); Dominican writers, including Jacinto Esquivel (1632); and later histories of early modern Japanese expansion and the dissemination of the Sinkan Manuscripts (Murakami, 1897, 1933). What all these foreign observers of Taiwan had in common was their struggle to integrate Taiwanese indigenous pasts into their existing grids of historical knowledge. By focusing on this ‘historiography of the other’, the article challenges commonplace assumptions regarding pre-modern foreign relations and indigenous forms of social organisation, showing how Taiwan can play a role in challenging operating foci of global history.

From deception to gift (Application of interpersonal communication theories to anthropological analysis)

The current exploratory and explanatory research argues that theories, which were developed in the field of interpersonal communication, could be applied for the analysis in anthropology. It is supposed that interpersonal and intergroup communication itself could be the subject of anthropological research. The author argues that recent development of the both disciplines-interpersonal communication and anthropology-gives scholars opportunity to analyze complicated cases of human communication both cross-culturally and inside individual ethnic groups. In the current research this possibility is demonstrated by the example of modifications of such a communication phenomenon as "gift". The history of the development of this communicative tool is considered, starting with the pre-gift phase of exchange and the stage of origin of the phenomenon of gift exchange, then shows the form of degradation of the mechanism of donation to the phenomenon of bribery, and finally, the form of revival of the practice of giving in some modern small ethnic communities in the post-Soviet period.
