السمات المميزة للأسطورة السودانية : دراسة حالة على أسطورة مجموعة الداجو في ولاية دارفور بغرب السودان

Abstract EN

This study aims to identify the concepts that distinguish the Sudanese Myth from the other myth in the world, through checking it against the global standards used for the myth.

The researcher used the Analytical Approach in all research-stages whereas the Content Analysis Approach is used as a data collection-tool.

The Sudanese myth (The Mount of Um Kardous is Your Dowry, O Kaka), has been selected as a purposive sample for the requirements of the study.

The study has concluded that the Sudanese Myth has its distinct personality and therefore, the Western Standards used globally in framing the myth, are not suitable as measures for the Sudanese Myth.

In addition, from a dramatic viewpoint, the study concluded that, the film is the most important tool to view the Sudanese Myth and spread it around.

Among the most important recommendations is that, the technical dealing with the Sudanese Myth without altering its features, serves the national register of intangible heritage in Sudan, therefore, the Sudanese Myth should be traced and documented in films by competent experts supported financially from the decision-making bodies concerned with the cultural domain.

It is important to find a room for the Sudanese Myth in the curriculum of the various educational stages, considering its importance as an effective tributary in the formation of the Sudanese cultural identity.
