| Research Abstract |
In Peru, one of the characteristics of socio-cultural dynamism between Central/Regional and Urban/Rural is that the "Modernization" from the former to the latter goes forward very rapidly and at the same time the "andeanization" as the influence from the latter to the former also goes forward in various aspects.In other words, through the constant interaction between highland rural society and regional urban society the andean peasants' value orientation and behavior pattern have infiltrated extensively throughout all peruvian country.Thus it's national culture has been made and changed through the mutual influence and interference of "modernization" and "andeanization."
Based on this assumed premise we carried our investigation in three regions of Peru : southern highland (Cuzco), central highland (Ayacucho) and northern coast (Trujillo and Piura).
Our research items are as follows :
1) Common understanding of peruvian national history through the primary and secondary school education (collection and analysis of school textbooks on peruvian history published last 5 decades).
2) Historical reconstruction of a regional city in north coast (history of Trujillo city at the beginning of colonial period).
3) The role of local publications and intelectuals in the building of regional identity (collection and analysis of local journals and books in Ayacucho region from the end of 19th century).
4) Inca-nativism as anti-modern (research on "mistic tour" popularized nowadays in Cuzco city).
5) The folk catholicism (history of a local cult group el "Nico Compadrito" in Cuzco city ; socio-economic functions of the feast of Virgin Asunta celebrated by female marchants of Cuzco market ; the pilgrimage of the Virgin of La Puerta in northern coast).
6) Interaction process of Quechua and Spanish (analysis of Spanish spoken in rural and urban societies of Ayacucho region).
