“Change yourself or leave” – nature of mobile cultures
Vol.1,No.1(2010)
This contribution focuses on the relations of change, time and movement (migration) within human cultures. Particularly, the relation between migration and evolution will be investigated. It is argued, that all mentioned entities – change, time and movement – are intrinsically connected with each other and, from certain points of view, could be considered as identical. Thus, the nomad societies lack the necessity of cultural change (evolution) as a result of its perpetual change of place.
