The main objective was to assess cultural heritage assets in some areas of Bariadi district in Simiyu region. Specific objectives of the assessment are to identify tangible cultural heritage resources in Simiyu region;to identify intangible cultural heritage resources in Simiyu region;and to provide suggestions for pertinent protection, conservation and presentation of cultural heritage resources. The assessment was carried out through surveys that included documentation together with records for Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates per surveyed locality;key informant interviews;and Focus Group Discussion. Results from the assessment revealed several worship areas that include immovable physical objects associated to ritual performance places. For example, wells like Luhuhi in Ilula village, Nkindwa biye tree in Ilula village, Magahi well in Isenge village, Isangijo hill at Isenge village, Dutwa well in Isenge village, Nyabusalu well in Igalukilo village and similar others are worship places that were revealed by informants. The assessment uncovered granite rock boulders that are being chopped off flakes for traditional medicine use in the area. Some cultural heritage sites have been identified such that a lot more needs to be explored in order to establish existence of other physical cultural heritage sites in Busega district, Bariadi district. For example, the grinding hollows, bao and the like are unique heritage resources. Such resources including undiscovered immovable archaeological objects would need presentation of sustainable preservation as well as conservation plans in line with Antiquities Acts, Antiquities Rules and Monuments of 1980 together with Cultural Heritage Policy of 2008.展开更多

文摘The question that I attempted to consider relates to the advantages of contemporary Pagan rituals,as performed by a group of Israeli Pagans nowadays.Ritual is viewed as a special language that is expressed in structured actions,performed in a special space,at a specific period of time.Humans have the capacity to create a verbal language and use it for social communication.A similar mechanism enables humans to create rituals.Ritual behavior is initiated by a certain cause,which means that it has a purpose.Most scholars consider ritual as a social mechanism that enables society to experience its ethos,and bring different streams of ideologies into cohesion.It is also accepted that ritual is performed in order to restore order in the social type of existence that has been threatened or damaged.Among the different ritual theories on which I base my approach,I prefer Gruenwald’s ritual theory.Gruenwald understands ritual as a performative expression of cerebral(or cortical)processes,similar to the linguistic cognitive and conceptual processes.In religion,rituals are performed in a context that seeks meaning in the framework of the holy(Gruenwald,2003,pp.3,12).The actual performance of ritual ceremony achieves its goal by causing actual transformation of the reality that needs change(for instance:creating a sacred time,or conferring a sacred status).The actual change is a mental transformation;the mind strives to gain control over reality.The ritual performed restores an infracted metaphysical condition.According to Gruenwald,in order to achieve the ritual goal it has to be performed in some context that is meaningful for the participants.The myth,of which the participants are familiar with,confers that context.The Neo-Pagan ritual context is based on the mythic idea that our universe is interconnected in an all-inclusive energetic web.I intend to demonstrate the process that enables the ritual participants to undergo an emotional and spiritual transformation that elevates their self-esteem,and give their life a meaning of a life worth living.

文摘The rule of rites was the fundamental pattern of the governance in the Xia,Shang and Zhou dynasties(i.e.the Three Dynasties).As a complex system of political and cultural practices with political,religious and moral attributes,rites legitimately and structurally underpinned the royal regime,therefore ensuring regime stability,integrating social relations,and enhancing recognition of cultural and political identities.Ritual traditions of the Three Dynasties went beyond extrinsic rites and institutions to include intrinsic spiritual traditions,e.g.divinity of the Heaven,conformity with ancestral heritage,and derivative moral values such as the pursuit of ethics and rewards for benevolence.Also included were the sense of blood relationships,the sense of clanship,the sense of ethics and the sense of filial piety and fraternal duty based on ancestral worship.Through the enlightenment of ritual music,the sense of rites was internalized as the collective value and cultural identity of the members of a society.Therefore,early nations that were founded upon rites functioned as a community of politics,culture and morality.Rites,having been internalized as cultural elements of the Chinese people,shaped the ways of thinking and behavior.It is fair to say that rites have served as the fundamental bedrock for the continuity of the Chinese civilization.
