Professor Vimalin Rujivacharakul presented "Turanians of Asia: Myths and the Missing Race" at Kyoto University on July 26. This lecture explored the mystery of the Turanians through the lenses of intellectual history, architectural history, and the history of anthropology. Rujivacharakul exhibited how the history of the Turanians developed between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries through various forms of research, and how their alleged existence transcended the norm of European-Asian divide. The lecture also linked early works on Orientalist philology to historical studies of racial constructs and the end of Turanian studies following World War II.
