Ritual, Identity and Ideology: Constructing the Past in Sub-Saharan Africa
REFNo: SS258ES
I am investigating how the past is manipulated to support present-day ideological agendas in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to understand the ways in which new histories are constructed to reinforce and legitimate group identities and ideologies. I will assess where such constructions ¬– for example at museums, educational institutions and heritage sites, and through intangible heritage displays and local neo-traditional (ritual) activities – reveal disparities between academic renderings of the past and histories that are generated by, and for the use of, the public. I will also assess the active role of heritage sites and intangible heritage practices – and therefore the social responsibilities of archaeologists and heritage workers – in shaping societies in sub-Saharan Africa today; and help archaeologists to recognise and appreciate that the past is evolving in the present, independent of their own work and an aging base of historical knowledge. Uganda is a particularly interesting example of this because, while recent historical work there has been limited, an explosion of newly constructed local histories serves increasingly to distort the historical record. The research will generate important information which will be useful to sites including the Uganda Museum as a source of data and debate as they plan their future development.
