現在『アフリカを学ぶ人のために』という本を読んでいる。編者の松田素二教授によると、日常的に起こる紛争や対立の解決策として、加害者と被害者が「対話的真実」を求め話し合う試みがあるという(南アフリカやルワンダなどの例)。2050年頃には世界人口の4分の1が、今世紀末には3分の1以上がアフリカ人になると推計されている。彼らのコミュニケーション方法に興味を持ち、耳を傾けることは、決して無駄にはならないはずだ。

科学史には、複数の科学者がほぼ同時に同じ発見・発明をなす「複数同時発見(Multiples)」という現象がある。社会学者のR・K・マートンはこれを深掘りし、一人の天才による偉業も「社会の知識が成熟すれば、いずれ誰かが到達した発見を前倒しで達成したに過ぎない」と示唆した。天才とは特殊能力というより、時代の要請を効率よくカタチにする存在らしい。とすると、JBがファンクを作り出したのは「効率」なのか?なんか違う(笑)。

アフリカのガーナと南インドは、ダンスと音楽を深掘りするうえで欠かせない重要エリアだ。それらの文化を探るなかで、双方の現地に深く入り込み、人類学的な研究を重ねてきた教授の存在を知った。石井教授の研究テーマの中心は「憑依・呪術・儀礼」といった人々の宗教実践だが、それらの行為をつなぐ架け橋こそが音楽やリズムだと思う。「憑依って何ですか?」というストレートな問いから始まるこの動画、思わず見入ってしまった。
