| Description: | This video has been recorded in Balyak, a Tchouvok neighbourhood where all the blacksmiths of the Tchouvok community are said to be originated. We started by visiting the family of Ngecme, our host of the day and after some words of greetings he took us to his forge. Once in his forge he set the bellows and and got help from one of his son to start his work. He was very happy to explain to us what it takes to work on metals. | |
| 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. | ||
