| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During my fieldwork in mainly eastern and central Uganda―focusing on a few societies and information collected from libraries in Japan and Uganda―huge amount of ethnographic data was examined from a micro-level analytical perspective. The examined data does not support, at least empirically, the scheme of ‘modernity of witchcraft’ by Peter Geschiere and the Comaroffs’ notion that millennium capitalism might accelerate the rampancy of witchcraft completely. Field data has been carefully revised reflexively using PDCA cycle. Older archival documents in libraries in the UK should have been referred, and farther ethnographic research should have been carried out among pastoralists in north-eastern Uganda. The limitations of this research should be overcome in forthcoming research.
