In this article, I focus ethnographically on the construction boom in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana, and the ‘state-building through building-work’ metaphor in Kazakhstani political discourse. I investigate the relations between the state, space, and materiality. In the Soviet period, the state was a material and social whole, bound together by diverse infrastructures. After perestroika, that whole disintegrated, as was made evident by the splitting up of production facilities and infrastructures. However, since around the year 2000, the construction of the new capital has become a process of the reconstruction, at once material and metaphorical, of the state. Astana became the destination for hundreds of thousands of internal migrants, Kazakhstani citizens. For many, participating in the making of the new capital became a way to regain a sense of agentive subjectivity. The construction process and spectacular new buildings make the state the object of emotional involvement: hope, pride, and identifi cation. On the other hand, protracted construction and its inherent contradictions give rise to disillusionment and doubts as to the working of the state. In sum, in this article I point to the materiality of buildings and infrastructures as what lends a tangible reality to the state and allows for it to be infused with diverse, often mutually contradictory emotions.

DEKRET O EKUMENIZMIE. OWOCOWANIE

100%
DE
Zu den bemerkenswerten Früchten des 2.Vatikanums gehören unter anderem die zwischenkirchlichen Dialoge, vor allem außerhalb der römisch-katholischen Kirche. Es hat sich ergeben, dass das Konzil zu einem wichtigen Ereignis auch für andere Kirchen wurde, die sich dem interreligiösen Dialog öffneten, woraus eine neue ekk- lesiale Qualität entstand und eine neue Art der Theologie erschaffen wurde. Die Begegnung in Assisi 1986, die vor dem Konzilsdekret Unitatis redintegra- tio unmöglich zu sein schien, öffnete das Christentum für die anderen Religionen. Die Bedeutung dieser Begegnung wird u.a. im Parlament der Weltreligionen mit seinem „Projekt Weltethos“ (Chicago 1993), in der Charta Oecumenica (Graz 2001) oder in den Konferenzen der religiösen Anführer der mittelasiatischen Re- gion in Astan sichtbar. Der authentische Ökumenismus wird im Handeln geprüft. Man braucht ein gemeinsames Zeugnis für die christliche Wertordnung (Familie, Ehe, das Leben der Ungeborenen, der alten und kranken Menschen, Erziehung, Kinder- und Ju- gendbildung). Die dramatischen Ereignisse in der westlichen Ukraine, die Bedro- hung für die Staatsintegrität und für den Frieden erwarten auch eine entschiedene ökumenische Stellungnahme vom Christentum.

Przeprowadzki stolic

94%
EN
During centuries, capital cities of many countries were moved to new locations, either as a result of economic or political processes or of a specific national project. The best known examples of the phenomenon are Ankara and Brasilia, but one might quote many others too. Frequently, the new capital was expected to become an ideal city, a kind of a paradise - which was a utopian dream, because a city is a man-made project and therefore never perfect.

Autor pochyla się nad historycznymi przypadkami transferów stolic na nowe miejsca. Najbardziej znanymi z nich są przeniesienia siedzib rządów z Konstantynopola do Ankary oraz z Rio de Janeiro do Brasilii. Działań tego typu było jednak znacznie więcej w dziejach. Motywowały je czynniki ekonomiczne oraz polityczne. Nieraz transfer bywał fragmentem szerzej rozumianego projektu narodowego; odgrywał też istotną rolę w kształtowaniu narodowej symboliki. Projekt nowej stolicy miewał nieraz cechy utopijnego miasta idealnego, jakim z natury rzeczy nie mogła się stać.
