Abstract

This study aims to explore the MEANING RECONSTRUCTION of modernization's consequences in ouramanat-e-Takht of Iranian Kurdistan. INTERPRETIVE APPROACH was used as conceptual framework to explain the various aspects of inquiry. The INTERPRETIVE APPROACH presupposes that human actors consciously and reflexively react to their social environment based on their interpretation and evaluation in everyday life. In contrast to positivist approach in which the social reality is assumen to be fixed and preexisting, the INTERPRETIVE APPROACH defines social realities as flexible and free floating; also, it considers human beings as creatore and interpreters of their lives. Using INTERPRETIVE APPROACH, it has been tried to focus on MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES in Ouramanat Region of Iranian Kurdistan. Ouraman-e-Takht is a rural, dry and highly mountainous region located in southwest of Kurdistan province of Iran. Traditionally, the socio-economic structure of the region was based on limited farming, herding, gardening, and manual labor. Recently, some modern elements, including of new economic activities, modern education, modern health services, technology, communication and transportation possibilities and so on, have been introduced to the region. The purpose of this study was to explore, from the Ouraman perspective, the impact that MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES have had on the Ouraman traditional way of life. In this respect, the MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES were classified into ten dimensions consisting of economy, social stratification, education, health, religion, technolobry, communication/transportation, language, kinship, and social interaction. Data were collected over a period of nine months using ethnographic methods including observation, interviwe, videotaping, and photography. Data were analyzed using GROUNDED THEORY Methodology. 56 participants were interviewed and various sorts of data were gathered. Ten core category constructed along with its respective paradigm model for each aspect of the MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES; these core categories were: subsistence Improvement, Emancipation, Enabling/Constraining, Enhancing life Expectancy, Surviving the principles, Welfaremaking/Challenging, Facilitation, Language Challenge, Nostalgia, and Weakening Network Finally, Reconstructing/ deconstructing were the core category constructed from data to explain the impact that MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES has on the Ouramat region, The people of Ouraman perceived MODERNIZATION CONSEQUENCES as bestowing the modern ways of life and growth of the region while simultaneously threatening cultural beliefs and the traditional way of life, The results are presented in a paradigm model consisting of conditions, interactions and consequences around the core category and can be used to understand the impact of change from the introduction of modern education can have on a traditional society.
