Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to investigate cultural devices with which various kinds of societies in Northeast Africa acquire and inherit indigenous knowledge systems which they have cultuvated through their own history, and at the same time, to give academic contribution to solution of overriding problems that humankind is facing today, clarifying difficulties which such cultural divices meet with through modernization process. To carry out the above purpose, the members of this project conducted field researches in Ethiopia and Sudan from 1995 through 1997.1n the former half of the research term, each member engaged in identifying traditional diveces of cultural inheritance by field observations and interviews. In the latter half, on the other hand, the members paid special attention to finding influences of modernization to such devices, and compared the research results to each other. As a result, it was found that each societies respond very differently to modernization because indigenous devices of cultural inheritance work to cope and manage with modenization process. The results were reported in the 13th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies and other related academic conferences. At the same time, they were published as a report of the profect. By conducting this project in which members share key words [traditiona education ; school education ; cultural identity] as a research strategy, we offered a model to identify the relationship between device of cultural inheritance and modernization.
