Kell-Anthropology_02
A Documentation of Bati Language and Oral Traditions
Contributor (consultant):NKWEL
Contributor (researcher):NGUE UM
Coverage:Cameroon
Date:2016-03-17
Description:The interview takes place at Moise Nkwel's residence, and is monitored by Emmanuel Ngué Um, the main researcher for the Bati project. Nkwel is another elder of Kelleng, probably one of the eldest persons still alive in the village. He was born in Kelleng, but has spent many years out of his village, before coming back after he has retired from his job in the city. The interview is initially planned to last for two hours, but is interupted after one hour of recording. The interviewer asks a series of questions about the origin of the Bati people, their identity, the story of their migration. Nkwel Moïse is also asked by the interviewer to tell the story of his peronal life. In the course of the interview, the consultant shows signs of irritation and stress. This leads to the interruption of the recording. Prior to starting the interview proper, an oral consent has been requested form the informant, and is documented at the beginning of the recording.
The project to Document aspects of Bati language and oral traditions is an original idea of Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso, who had initially surveyed the Bati speech area as part of a pilot research project granted by the Ministry of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation of the Republic of Cameroon. Based on the results of this pilot research which have revealed a situation of critical endangerment of Bati language and ancestral practices, the idea to submit a major documentation project to ELDP has matured. The project has eventually been submitted during the 2015 funding round with Dr Emmanuel Ngué Um as Principal Investigator, and Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso as co-applicant. The project started in October 1st, 2015, and will run till the 30th of September in 2018.
