Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I conducted a visual anthropological study on the folktales of the Baka, a hunter-gatherer living in the tropical rainforest of the Republic of Cameroon. The Baka’s society is non-literate society and they inherit their folktales orally without writing language. But their folktales are disappearing in recent years, so I documented the folktale tellings with video. I watched and examined the video with the Baka people and we sought to clarify the meaning and significance of the folktales and to find a way to pass them on. We attempted to elucidate Baka’s worldview and sense of values through participatory video or collaborative filmmaking.
