Ethnography and Archaeology in the Kilimanjaro and Meru Region | OTKA Research Conference
Advertisement
A Néprajzi Múzeum Afrika-gyűjteményének jelentős részét a 19. század végén és a 20. század elején gyűjtötték magyar utazók a mai Észak-Tanzánia területén. Teleki Sámuel és Bornemisza Pál utazásaik alatt több ezer tárgyat gyűjtöttek, amelyek nagy része az utóbbi 120 évben feldolgozatlan maradt. Az elmúlt években a múzeum egy komplex antropológiai, történészi és levéltári kutatás keretében dolgozza fel ezen tárgyegyüttest. A jelen konferencia ehhez a kutatómunkához kapcsolódik. A budapesti Néprajzi Múzeum kutatói és meghívott nemzetközi antropológusok és régészek a régióban végzett kutatásaikról, a tárgyi kultúra és a művészet átalakulásáról adnak elő.
