1	Changing Swahili Cultures in a Globalising World: An Approach from Anthropology Caplan, Pat 27 March 2014 (has links) (PDF) This article considers what might be meant by Swahili cultures and Swahili identities. It regards neither concept as fixed, but as constituting a repertoire from which people choose strategically, depending not only upon location and historical time, but also upon social context. The processes of constituting cultures and identities are part of the making of meaning, a process in which, as will be seen, there are important continuities, ruptures and contradictions. With its attention to detail and its ability to give voice to the local, ethnography plays an important role in understanding the construction of both cultures and identities. In this paper, ethnographic examples are drawn both from my own fieldwork on Mafia Island, Tanzania, begun in 1965, and from the work of other anthropologists and scholars who have carried out research on the East African coast and islands.

3	Understanding Swahili cultures. Some critical remarks. Athman, Athman Hussein January 1995 (has links) East Afiica and in particular the coastal region has been attractive for many researchers from the colonial period to the present times. Foreign researchers mostly from Europe and America have come to the Swahili coast with much curiosity on a wide range of subjects. Beginning in the 19th century when Africa was regarded by Europeans as `the dark continent` inquisitive geographers, prospective traders, colonial administrators and Christian missionaries came to satisfy their curiosity. On top of their duties they also embarked on research on various desciplines, in particular geography, linguistics, anthropology, and history. Their findings were then compiled in the form of books and theses which today form the basis of our reference. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/496 ddc:496 Swahili; Swahili, Kultur, Forschung Swahili, Culture, Research
4	Tamaduni na fasihi za kienyeji kwa lugha za kigeni Shatry, Alwi M. 03 December 2012 (has links) Uhusiano baina ya lugha na utamaduni, mila na mirathi ya jamii kwa jumla huenda ukafahamika angalau kwa wepesi, iwapo tutazingatia mambo mawili: kwanza, lugha na matumizi yake ni chombo cha kujieleleza thamani tafauti zilizofungamana na maumbile ya kimila, fikira, maarifa, imani, adabu na utamaduni wa jamii yenyewe kwa jumla. Pili, matumizi ya lugha aghlabu husadifu kuwa ndio msingi wa kuendeleza na kukuza, na hata pia kubuni, uzushi mpya katika mirathi ya utamaduni, mila na khulka za kijamii. Kwa hivyo si rahisi kwa lugha kutengamana na taswira za jamii: utu, utamaduni, mila, mitindo na mengineo. Tungependa kuandaa madhumuni yetu ya kuonesha athari na hatari zinazokabili hali ile ya kutumia lugha geni katika kuendeleza shughuli za jamii au taifa la kienyeji. Muhimu pia, tutashughulika na athari za mtindo huo katika fasihi za kienyeji, hasa tunapozingatia kuwa fasihi ya maandishi ni mfano wa kioo cha hakika ya jamii. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/496 ddc:496
