| Description: | In this video, Mtsila the blacksmith is giving the interpretation as shown by the position of all the stones. He also explains to us how is the knowledge transmiited to children. He told us that for someone to learn, you should a blacksmith and a boy. Then the next requirement is to go with one's father every time there is a scene of fortunetelling. So, he is telling us that the only way to learn is to see someone doing it. | |
| Cuvok is a Central Chadic language spoken in the Far North Region of Cameroon. Tchouvok traditional society pivots around blacksmiths, who play a number of other key social roles: doctor, metalworker, mortician, mind-reader, and midwife. With the introduction of Islam, Christianity and modernism, the knowledge possessed by the blacksmith is no longer transmitted to the younger generation. This documentation project is integrated into my PhD research, which aims at a usage-based grammatical description of Cuvok. Much of my corpus will be composed of video recordings. Ethnographic notes will complement my annotated texts. | ||
