BITS OF CULTURE - Chad Languages Map Cultural Values Health Care Values ... Interesting Facts Languages Official language: Arabic French Other languages: 120+ indigenous Chadian languages and dialects Map Cultural Values In the villages, it is the popular belief that if you take some of the dry matter from the corner of a dog's eye and put it in your own, that you will see demons. A future husband is required to work in the fields of his father-in-law for three years. He also makes straw mats, builds a hut for his mother-in-law, builds a ligdabe to shade her from the sun. Never talk to a Chadian while staring him or her in the eyes; he might think you are mad at them. When shaking your hand with a Muslim, you touch your hand to your heart after you finish shaking hands. This means, you wish peace to him, and that peace may be on you as well. Health Care Values When a woman gives birth, she cannot leave her living quarters. It is believed that she is in danger of becoming sick with certain illnesses, or that she will be "captured" by evil spirits.

Country Listing Chad Table of Contents Chad INTRODUCTION Figure 1. Administrative Divisions of Chad, 1988 AN ARRAY OF MISFORTUNES have visited African states since the beginnings of the independence movement in the late 1950s. Of the many political ills, a few of the most traumatic have been neocolonialism, coups d'état, civil wars, governmental instability, and large-scale armed invasions. Some of the most egregious social afflictions have been poverty, illiteracy, ethnic and regional animosities, high mortality rates, and imbalanced population distribution. Dominant economic woes have included famine, drought, economic dependency, and overreliance on a single crop. Many African nations have experienced more than one of these troubles periodically. Few countries, however, have undergone all of them as extensively or as often as has Chad. In spite of its misfortunes, by the late 1980s Chad was exhibiting signs of stability that provided hope for some form of political, social, and economic recovery. Landlocked in Africa's center, Chad has been simultaneously at the core of the region's evolution and in a zone dividing two geographic areas and cultural heritages. On the one hand, a great inland sea, of which Lake Chad is but a remnant, once supported a diversity of animal life and vegetation. In ancient times, people speaking three of Africa's four major language groups lived near its shores; some migrated to other regions of the continent while others remained. In more recent times, Chad has become a transition zone dividing the arid north from the tropical south. This geographic division coincides with social and cultural dichotomies.

C C c/art Index Australia Mind architecture ... Email About Chad Philosophy With a background in psychology, I approach painting from a different perspective to most artists. For me, art is a way to explore ideas that I don't understand. Such ideas usually involve cognitive dissonance, which can be found on the frontiers of deviance and conformity. Sometimes painting allows the subconscious mind to communicate ideas that the conscious is unable or unwilling to communicate. In this regard, painting can be like laying down to sleep to commence a dream. In the dreamscape, the subconscious can communicate emotions and ideas that a million words could not begin to explain. At other times, I think painting is a way for the the subconscious to ask questions that have no answers. As a painting's soul only lives in the mind of a beholder, it doesn't really matter how a beholder interprets it. If the painting has triggered a question, and the audience is motivated to conceive an answer, then the painting has value. The main artist that I identify with is Sidney Nolan . Although I don't paint in his style, I like the way he described his work as a:

Chad Culture With over 100 languages spoken, three major religions, three climatic zones and an ancient history, the culture of Chad is rich, diverse and complex. This complexity makes it extremely difficult to make general statements about the nation's culture as what is important for one group or region may not hold for another. In the northern third of the country, in the heart of the Sahara, the Toubou people are in the majority. They are descendents of Berber migrants and are, like the Arabs to the south, Muslim. They are herders and nomads, fiercely independent, strong in battle and extremely clan-oriented. Each clan has access to specific wells, pastures and oases. Despite only numbering 150,000 people, the Toubou have controlled Chad since 1982. Another broad grouping with a distinct cultural influence is the Arabs, concentrated in the middle third of Chad and making up a third of Chad's population. Chadian Arabs are mostly seminomads, grazing their herds over the Sahel. There are many diverse ethnic subgroups under the 'Arab' banner. The Maba people have a unique form of social structure originating in pre-Islamic times, based on four age grades. Cutting across kin and class divisions, people born within a certain time-frame move from one grade to another, bound by friendships and obligations for mutual aid. In the capital, you might be lucky enough to hear Arabic musicians playing traditional music. These people are usually from the
