| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the study was to identify how beliefs are generated and maintained in a particular society in the context of cultural transformation and the struggle between multiple knowledge and practices, by looking into the case of the Nuer society in South Sudan, which has experienced large-scale armed conflict and civil war. The study shows that certain beliefs, such as prophecies and myths passed down in Nuer society, are intertwined with multiple logics and practices that people have encountered in their conflict and refugee experiences, such as post-colonial political power, science and technology, Christianity, modern education and ideas of development, to form a community of people living in a post-war society and identities. The results were compiled into an ethnography.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
南スーダンの紛争後社会を生きる人々へのフィールドワークをもとに行われた本研究では、「脆弱」と一般に見なされる難民たちが、自らの文化的実践や知識を加工し、避難先で出会った新たな知や実践の体系と接合させ、新たな秩序や共同体、アイデンティティを形成する方法を明らかにした。危機的状況下で他者とともに生きる技法を記述した本研究は、人類の危機的経験を扱う人文学的研究および政策研究に対しても意義を持つだろう。
