Formation of African Local Knowledge and their Positive Practice : Area Studies Aproach

通过对发展研究和认知人类学提出的对抗性观点进行抽样，开始了解该项目渴望了解的非洲当地知识。研究发现，认知人类学没有涉及到认知系统与社会相互协商的关系，发展领域也没有涉及到有用性与认知之间的关系。这项研究展示了两个领域都忽视的知识的动态方面，并就社区发展的众多背景下不断变化的过程进行了实地调查。

The understanding of local knowledge in Africa that the project aspires begun by sampling from the confrontational views that had been presented by development studies and cognitive anthropology. The research revealed that both the relationship between the cognitive system and social mutual negotiation that cognitive anthropology did not refer to, and the relationship between usefulness and cognition that was not dealt in the field of development. The research presented the dynamic aspects of knowledge that both fields have overlooked, and conducted fieldwork on the changing processes in its multitudinous context for the development of communities.
