This second lecture presentation has two parts. First, it discusses the ‘soft footprint’ of the mobile populations within the longue durée of Inner Asian Nomadism. In effect, even though the association of the nomads with the unbroken steppe spanned several centuries, the intrinsic quality of this landscape remained contrastingly different from the ‘civilized world’ of cities and places. The nomadic realm was a networked world of weak centers and strong links. Within this first part, Inner Asia is viewed as a unit of World History and via the longue durée of its nomadic inhabitants inhabiting a geographically vast (and diverse) landscape. Within the spatial-urban theme of Centers versus Peripheries, the ‘soft footprint’ is explored in its patterns of habitation, settlement and cultural practices.
