Much of what you are saying here resonates very strongly with me, and it outlines the frustrations that pushed me to move on from “Central Asian studies” per se years ago. That new methodological playfulness described here, I’m afraid, seems to come from within a feeling of precariousness and disillusionment with preexisting structures for funding and licensing research — there’s a freedom in it. But that might just be me. Thanks for putting this together, and for sharing the videos!
