Anthropological Research on the Restructuring processes of Folk Cultures in Brazilian Amazonia under the impact of Globalization

（1）在巴西的人类学考察2004年2月29日至3月29日、8月16日至9月8日，在巴西进行了人类学考察和学术交流。第一，博物馆和研究机构对物质民俗文化的展示和阐释策略。二是巴西民间工艺品的实际生产、流通和消费情况。在后一部分中，本文以亚马孙河下游地区的民间陶器生产为主要研究对象，对马拉霍岛伊科阿尔奇（贝伦）陶器生产的历史和转型过程进行了较为深入的研究，最近值得注意的一个趋势是，“现已灭绝”的“史前”陶器被称为“史前”陶器，一方面是土著人民，另一方面是亚马逊地区现有居民相对于巴西国内外其他地方的文化特征。（2）美洲和日本陶器生产的比较研究：对美洲的民间陶器生产进行了文献研究，特别关注围绕它的各种话语，如民俗学、艺术、旅游、营销和民族主义。日本的“民艺”（民间工艺）运动也被研究，并与20世纪世纪巴西的类似哲学和运动进行比较。

(1)Anthropological Research in BrazilAnthropological fieldwork and academic exchange were carried out in Brazil (Feb.29-Mar.29,Aug16-Sept.8, 2004), focusing two main topics. First, the display and interpretation strategy of material folk cultures in museums as well as research institutions. Second, the actual production, circulation, and consumption of folk crafts in Brazil. In the latter, among other things, the folk pottery production in the lower Amazon region was the principal target of the present research, which made a very thorough study on the history and the restructuring process of the pottery production in Icoarci (Belem), Marajo Island, and Satarem in the State of Para. One of the recent trends worthy of note is the articulation of "prehistoric" pottery made by "now-extinct" indigenous peoples on the one hand, and cultural identity of present inhabitants of the Amazonian region vis-a-vis other places in and out of Brazil.(2)Comparative Study of Pottery Production in the Americas and Japan.Bibliographical research was carried out on the folk pottery production in the Americas, paying special attention to the various discourses surrounding it such as folklore studies, art, tourism, marketing, and nationalism. "Mingei"(Folk Craft) Movement in Japan was also studied in comparison with similar philosophy and movements of 20the century Brazil.
