Este artículo se ocupa de la tradición oral de los "Sumo" indios, uno de los grupos que habitan la costa atlántica de Honduras y Nicaragua, también conocido como "Mosquitia".Las historias analizadas (36) son principalmente narraciones aunque hay algunas descripciones y explicaciones. De acuerdo con el momento en el que se establece la narración, estas historias se clasifican en tres grupos: los mitos, leyendas y cuentos. Los temas de las historias son variadas, aunque los elementos míticos prevalecen. Mitos y leyendas parecen tener temas nativos, mientras que los cuentos revelan un origen extranjero.Los ejemplos de cada grupo de narraciones permiten apreciar la riqueza y variedad de la tradición oral de un grupo étnico que, a pesar de su pequeño tamaño y del enorme proceso de aculturación que ha sufrido, ha conseguido sorprendentemente mantener su identidad cultural. This article deals with the oral tradition of the "Sumo" indians, one of the groups which inhabits the Atlantic coast of Honduras and Nicaragua, also known as "Mosquitia."The stories analyzed (36) are mainly narrations although there are some descriptions and explanations. According to the time in which the narration is set, these stories are classified into three groups: myths, legends, and tales. The themes of the stories are varied though the mythic elements prevail. Myths and legends seem to have native themes, while the tales reveal a foreign origin.The examples from each group of narrations make it possible to appreciate the richness and variety of the oral tradition of an ethnic group that, in spite of its small size and of the enormous aculturation process it has undergone, has amazingly managed to keep its cultural identity.

RESUMENEl patrimonio edificado, para ser reconocido formalmente como tal por instituciones nacionales y/o entes internacionales, se evalúa en el marco de una escala de valores históricos, estéticos y tecnológicos. Se aspira, a partir de ese reconocimiento, que la gestión de dicho patrimonio contribuya a la formación de una identidad cultural a nivel nacional o regional, la cual se ajuste a los ideales de las instituciones o comunidades que legitiman tal reconocimiento. No obstante, a nivel local o doméstico, los usuarios de ese patrimonio, si bien pueden reconocer esos valores, suelen atribuir al mismo objeto arquitectónico cualidades adicionales que se relacionan con su propia identidad cultural a un nivel de significado más íntimo, en una escala de carácter informal. A continuación, se presenta desde un enfoque interdisciplinario el debate académico contemporáneo sobre el significado del patrimonio, y los valores que este adquiere entre los grupos de actores formales –instituciones y profesionales del rubro– y ciudadanos, así como las tensiones y dicotomías que la naturaleza misma del patrimonio edificado genera entre quienes están vinculados a él.PALABRAS CLAVESpatrimonio edificado, valores culturales, recurso culturalABSTRACTSo that it may be formally recognized as such by national institutions and /or international bodies, built heritage is evaluated in a scale of historical, aesthetical and technological value. With such recognition as a starting point, the goal is to contribute to the formation of a cultural identity in a national or a regional scale through the management of the above-mentioned heritage. This identity would fit into the ideals of the insitutions or communities that legitimize such recognition. Nevertheless, in a local or domestic level, even though users of this heritage can recognize such values in an architectural object, these very users tend to attribute to that same object, in a scale of informal character, qualities that relate to a level of more intimate meaning. The following essay presents the contemporary academic discussion around the concept of heritage, and the different values it acquires among groups of formal actors –institutions and professionals from the field– and citizens. As well, it shows the tensions and dichotomies that the nature of built heritage itself produces among those who are related to it.KEYWORDSbuilt heritage, cultural values, cultural resource

Com a inflexão do multiculturalismo, a imaginação política e teórica na Colômbia articulou uma noção de negridade no seio de um grupo étnico. Foi dessa maneira que se foi consolidando a ideia de “comunidades negras” com práticas tradicionais de produção, em uma relação harmônica com a natureza e com a propriedade coletiva de seus territórios e com uma identidade cultural característica. Na última década, no entanto, tem emergido uma nova articulação da negridade a partir das políticas de ações afirmativas, impulsadas por uma crescente problematização em torno do “afrodescendente”. Esse artigo examina as políticas da diferença que articulam a negridade na inflexão do multiculturalismo e das ações afirmativas, em busca de evidenciar não somente suas diferenças, mas também, seus ganhos e limitações.Palabras chaves: Etnização, negridade, comunidades negras, afrodescendentes, afrocolombianos---ARTICULACIONES DE NEGRIDADE: Políticas y tecnologías de la diferencia en ColombiaCon la inflexión del multiculturalismo, en Colombia la imaginación política y teórica articuló una noción de negridad en clave de un grupo étnico.

That is how the idea of "black communities" was consolidate with its traditional practices, in a harmonious relationship with nature, with the collective ownership of their lands and typical cultural identity. In the last decade, however, a new idea of blackness from affirmative action policies appeared, fueled by the evergrowing problematization surrounding the "African descent". This article examines the politics of difference that articulate blackness in the inflection of multiculturalism and affirmative action, seeking to highlight not only their differences, but also their gains and limitations.Keywords: Ethnicization, blackness, black communities, Afro-Colombians

Oral Tradition

Minangkabau ethnic group, as other ethnic groups in Indonesia, has many kinds of cultural heritages. Among other is Badampiang, an oral tradition. Badampiang (acting of accompanying) is mutually responding poetry (berbalas pantun) by the time accompanying a groom to a bride’s house to do the procession of wedding. This tradition is currently threatened to extinct, whereas in fact, it has many positive values which are deserved to be inherited to the next generations. Thus, it is important to do a research on Badampiang. This paper discussed about the speakers, the music instruments, the place, the time and the condition of Badampiang utterances. Besides, this paper also discussed the meaning contained in the text of Badampiang. The method used to investigate the tradition of Badampiang is hermeneutics method and theory of values. Therefore, the various elements that exist can be found so that badampiang will realize and the values that contained in the oral tradition.AbstrakSuku bangsa Minangkabau, sebagaimana suku bangsa lainnya di Indonesia, memiliki berbagai warisan budaya. Di antara warisan budaya tersebut adalah tradisi lisan badampiang. Badampiang (melakukan pendampingan) adalah berbalas pantun ketika mendampingi mempelai laki-laki menuju rumah mempelai perempuan ketika hendak melakukan ijab kabul (pernikahan). Tradisi lisan badampiang saat ini terancam punah digerus waktu, padahal banyak nilai positif dalam teks badampiang yang layak diwariskan kepada generasi penerus. Oleh sebab itu, kajian terhadap badampiang sangat penting dilakukan. Melalui makalah ini dibahas pedendang, alat musik pengiring, tempat, waktu, dan suasana pedendangan badampiang. Selain itu, dibahas pula makna yang terkandung dalam teks badampiang. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengkaji tradisi lisan ini adalah metode hermeneutika dan teori tentang nilai-nilai. Dengan demikian, terlihatlah berbagai unsur yang ada sehingga badampiang terwujud dan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam tradisi lisan tersebut.

The Way

Globalization led by Europe has spread so-called 'universal' values across the globe, which seems to have cultural intermingling as its backdrop. All human endeavors are based on a culture that has become multidimensional. All the time, in their diversity, cultures try to complement and absorb each other. However, in this meeting of cultural giving and receiving, it takes on a new face, the culture shock.  This encounter causes major changes in our modern societies, giving way to a loss of cultural identity and internal imbalance. This article aims to analyze the way in which contemporary Cameroonian musicians use cultural and linguistic facts for communication purposes and other arguments. The aim of our work is to show how the various songwriters have found, through song, a new mode of resistance so that African traditions escape sedimentation. In this way, they reconcile the elements of oral tradition and the contributions of modernity to create a hybrid product. To illustrate our point, we have chosen oral texts from different regions of Cameroon.  In order to better understand the transcultural reality in the texts, we will highlight the marks of traditional and modern aesthetics, then show that the transcultural is seen as a space of symbiosis between the traditional and the modern.

The research field of this paper is the wedding dance event of “K’na”, as this takes place by the Arvanites of Greek Thrace, an ethnic group moved to the area from Turkish Thrace in 1923. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the three components of dance, music and song of Greek traditional dance, as these reflected in the “K’na” dance event amongst the Arvanites ethnic group of Neo Cheimonio (Evros), are related to issues of ethno-cultural identity under the lens of socio-cybernetics. Data was gathered through ethnographic method as this is applied to the study of dance, while its interpretation was based on socio-cybernetics according to Burke’s identity control theory. From the data analysis, it is showed that through the “K’na” dance event the Thracian Arvanites of Neo Cheimonio shape and reshape their ethno-cultural identity as a reaction to the input they receive from their environment. Therefore, the “construction” of their identity, as a constant process of self-regulation and internal control, is subjected to the conditions of a cybernetic process.

In my paper I analyze transformations happening in the oral tradition of the Jbala, an Arabic speaking ethnic group inhabiting the western and central part of the Rif mountains of northern Morocco. My analysis centers on the work of two modern poets, who although they see themselves belonging to the oral tradition, compose their poetry in writing. Their poetry is, therefore, characterized by use of two different, and, to some degree, opposite modes of language – the oral and the written. This is especially interesting in the context of the Arabic language, where, officially, only Standard Arabic exists in two modes – oral and written, while its dialectal varieties are seen as exclusively oral forms of communication and ‘vulgar’ poetry. The textual analysis will be substantiated by information received directly from both poets. To complement this analysis I examine this tradition through the lens of major cultural and identity changes occurring in local Moroccan genres and traditions at the national level and argue that the oral tradition of the Jbala is converging with the more popular and prestigious tradition of the malhun.

La gerencia de la salud en Venezuela dificulta la implantación de las propuestas de desarrollo sustentable, debido a que está divorciada de los procesos etno-culturales , y sujeta al modelo bio-médico, que privilegia la atención patológica, por encima de la consideración del individuo como ser bio-psico-social y no registra al hombre como miembro de una comunidad y portador de una cultura e integrante del medio ambiente. El éxito de los programas de salud requiere la definición de un modelo de gestión, en base a la Gerencia Social de Salud, donde se considere a la “Comunidad”, como expresión de conflictos, valores y patrones culturales de grupos sociales que tienen intereses y prácticas específicas que les confieren identidad cultural. Igualmente, esta gerencia, definida como activa, creativa, responsable y respetuosa de los procesos etno-culturales, debe impulsar los programas de promoción de la salud sobre dichos procesos, superando las restricciones tradicionales de la atención a la enfermedad, contemplando el conocimiento de los distintos enfoques de la medicina como de la visión que los grupos sociales tengan sobre salud, reconociendo y valorizando los saberes y prácticas populares, asi como otros modos de curación.
