metadata.value: In this article, the research supervisor (Bocharov V. V) and consultant (Dyakov N. N.) of the
  new master’s program “Social and Cultural Anthropology of the Peoples of Asia and Africa”,
  which will be opened at the Faculty of Oriental Studies of St. Petersburg State University in
  2021, share the motives that prompted its creation. According to them, the goal of the program
  is to bring the study of “modernity” back into the fold of Oriental Studies, as a science
  of Eastern (Oriental) cultures. Moreover, scientific activity in this direction should contribute
  to the creation of a theory of the development of the East, since the accumulated material
  on the socio-political practices of modern states in the region indicates, on the one hand,
  the presence of obvious universals, and, on the other hand, they are significantly different
  from the Western processes that are identical in form. Otherwise, states (even those that have
  surpassed the West in many respects), are doomed to remain in the status of “underdeveloped”.
  The reason for this is the dominance of the evolutionary paradigm (“savagery — barbarism
  — civilization”), where “civilization” is the standard of society’s progressiveness, which
  has actually turned it into a kind of ideologeme. The development of such a new theory also
  has an important socio-political significance because the discourse of “underdevelopment”
  (sous-développement) in many respects gives rise to revolutionism (a characteristic of the East)
  under the slogans of overcoming it, which is always a threat to state collapse, chaos, and, in the
  end, humanitarian catastrophe. The anthropological approach is the basis of the international
  Russian-Armenian scientific project (SPbSU — PAARA — YSU), supported by the Russian
  Foundation for Basic Research and the Committee on Science of the Armenian Ministry of
  Education, Science, Culture and Sport. The member of the project V. G. Geghamyan who specializes
  in studying the political culture of Turkey, also shares his thoughts on the “program”
  and the role that its methodology plays in its successful implementation.
