Critical Moments of Ethno-Genesis・・・・A comparative Study of Afro Social Movement among Venezuela and Colombian Pacific and Caribbean cost.

这个项目提出了在哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉的非洲后裔的种族政治运动的比较分析。哥伦比亚1991年的宪法改革，非洲裔获得了作为少数民族的认定，是20世纪90年代拉美国家多元文化改革中最具活力的例子之一。另一方面，委内瑞拉的玻利瓦尔宪法（Bolivarian Constitution）虽然宣称委内瑞拉是一个多民族、多元文化的社会，但却没有考虑到人口中有非洲后裔。这两个国家在地理、历史和文化上有许多共同之处，是什么使它们之间存在差异呢？该项目旨在进行实地研究，特别是在加勒比和太平洋沿海地区的哥伦比亚农村社区进行实地研究。然而，哥伦比亚的内战局势在本世纪头几年变得极其糟糕，阻碍了这个国家的民族志实地研究。因此，作者决定专注于委内瑞拉的非洲人运动，并将视角扩展到同一个国家的土著社区。笔者第一次实现在哥伦比亚的研究是在大三的时候。最后，在第四年期间，在哥伦比亚太平洋和加勒比区域进行了一项简短的研究。研究项目期间的主要活动如下。在加拉加斯的研究（01-04）；委内瑞拉中央大学居民研究（02）；参加“安第斯国家文化遗产会议”（01、02）；在波哥大的研究（03,04）；在委内瑞拉亚马逊州的研究（2003年，2004年）附产出清单。

This project proposes comparative analyses of ethno-political movements of African descendants in Colombia and Venezuela. Colombia's 1991 constitutional reform, in which African-descendants obtained determination as ethnic minority is one of the most dynamic example of multicultural reforms of Latin American countries during the 1990's. On the other hand, Venezuela's Bolivarian Constitution, although stated the country as multi-ethnic and culturally plural society, failed to visualize African-descendants in its population. What makes the difference between these two countries, which share many aspects of geography, history and cultures? The project aimed to carry on field researches especially in Colombian rural communities of both in the Caribbean and the Pacific costal region.However, Colombia's Civil War situations, which got extremely worse in the first years of this Century, impeded the ethnographic field research in this country. That is why the author decided concentrate in Venezuela's Afro movement and extended the perspectives toward indigenous communities in the same country. It was during the third year when the author first realized researches in Colombia. Finally during the forth year a brief research was carried on in Colombian Pacific and Caribbean region.Main activities during research project is as followings.Research in Caracas (01-04) ; Resident Research in Venezuela Central University (02);Participation in "Andean Countries' Cultural Patrimony Meeting"(01,02);Research in Bogota(03,04) ; Researches in Venezuelan Amazonas State (03,04)List of outputs is attached.
