Description:Dr. Carlos Fausto interviews a Kuikuro shaman in its house at the Kuikuro village of Ipatse.
The Project "Linguistic, Historical and Ethnographical Documentation of the Upper Xingu Carib Language or Kuikuro (Brazil)"began in December 200 in the context of the DOBES Program supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung and with the technical support of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen).
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'interview', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'Unspecified'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Carlos Fausto, the ethnologist of the Kuikuro team, interviews Kalusi, a Kuikuro shaman, asking him to explain what he sees when he smokes his tobacco cigars and if he sees supernatural beings when he enters in a state of transe. Kalusi talks about his relation with supernatural beings, fears and dangers. He talks about the shamanistic practices and the feelings associated with it, as well as about the curing paractices and the recuperation of the souls of sick persons.
Kuikuro language is used throughout the whole session.
Kalusi is in theses days the most powerful and respected shaman among the Kuikuro of the Ipatse village.
Carlos Fausto is ethnologist and permanent consultant of the Project. Professor of the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (National Museum). Researcher of the National Counsel for Scientific and Technological development (CNPq). He is doing field research among the Kuikuro since 1998 and he realized researches on other amazonian indigenous groups (Parakanã, a Tupi-Guarani group leaving in the state of Pará, Brazil).
