Haushaltsökonomie und soziale Prozesse bei den BeRi (Bideyat, Zaghawa) und Daza im Ennedi und seinen Randgebieten (Teilprojekt A7)

Description: Da über die den Ennedi und seine Randgebiete bevölkernden (semi-)nomadischen BeRi (Bideyat und Zaghawa) nur wenig ethnographisches Material vorliegt und letzte ethnologische Forschungen ca. zwei Jahrzehnte zurückliegen, sollen zunächst grundlegende Daten erhoben werden. Der Hauptfokus des Projekts liegt auf dem Wandel wirtschaftlicher Strategien (unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Haushaltsökonomie) und den sich daraus ergebenden sozioökonomischen Ungleichheiten und der Konstruktion und Politisierung ethnischer Identität. In Einbettung in den SFB 389 'Kultur- und Landschaftswandel im ariden Afrika' an der Universität zu Köln soll aufgezeigt werden, inwiefern langfristiger Klima- und Umweltwandel sowie rezente Dürrekrisen und politische Konflikte (Bürgerkrieg) zur Änderung und Flexibilisierung ökonomischer und soziopolitischer Strategien der Akteure beitragen.

  Title: Household economy and social processes among the BeRi (Bideyat, Zaghawa) and Daza of the Ennedi and its surroundings
  Description: The aim of this project is to investigate into economic and social transformations among the nomadic and semi-nomadic population in the Ennedi and its surroundings. These groups have been heavily affected by climate change as well as by political crises during the last decades. The crucial questions center around the differentiated interdependencies between ecological variables, economic strategies and patterns of socio-political adaptation. Since information about the local groups is rather scarce (new data are almost completely lacking), it is initially necessary to collect basic ethnographic data which should also include the historical background in order to provide an understanding of recent social processes. Main research activities will then cover four interrelated areas which are illustrated below. All topics will be analysed against the common background of economic and socio-political transformations resulting from environmental crises and the Tchadian civil war. The analysis of economic strategies is expected to reveal in how far local economic systems, which have always been considerably differentiated, were further modified in the course of adaptation to recent environmental crises and socio-political changes. The main question is how exactly people use their economic strategies in reaction to such challenges immediately and efficiently. In detail, research will focus on 1. variability and frequency of nomadic movements, 2. regularity or unpredictability of mobility patterns, 3. structures of land use and property rights, and 4. indigenous perception of these issues. In general, the study will aim at an analysis of individual decision making in combination with group-wide strategies. Concerning the household economy, the relationship between household morphology and household activities will be of central concern. The household will therefore be treated as a stage of individual decisions including social activities as well as cultural values. It has to be investigated how differentiated productive activities such as herding, horticulture and trade correlate, first, with different types of household morphology and, second, with certain patterns of distribution and consumption. Another analytical focus will be patterns of work, in particular with regard to the relationship between working capacity and herd size, the timing, scheduling and sequencing of labour, specific/age specific aspects of working capacity, and the culture specific perception of work. According to data so far available, socio-economic inequalities, especially with respect to unequal distribution of wealth, among the local societies are very heterogeneous in character. Special attention will be given to specific and age specific inequalities and their recent modifications which may be expected to result from, for instance, an increasing importance of wage labour or trading activities.
