Nomadic Civilization
摘要
This chapter explores the interruption of nomadic civilization’s developmental trajectory. Colonization imposed an external civilizational model on nomadic societies, leading to the dismantling of not only their traditional way of life, but also their worldview, system of values, collective identity, and social structures. This rupture was intensified by the encounter between sedentary and nomadic worlds—each rooted in fundamentally different systems of meaning, values, and behavioral norms. The author reflects on how key concepts introduced by European civilization—such as feudalism, private property, the nation, the state, and revolution—have been assimilated, reinterpreted, or resisted within the mental and cultural framework of nomadic societies.
