Description:030 makes comments to the film "The Kuarup of the Awetí 1998" while watching the film without audio signal.
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language and aspects of the Awetí culture. Awetí is a tupian language of a small speech community of the same name at the southern edge of the Amazon rain forest, in the Xingú reserve, Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The project was funded December 2000--April 2006 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES). The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Aweti in 1998. Sabine Reiter participated as a freelancer in 2001 and as research assistant (including conducting field research) from 2002 on. The Awetí participated intensively in the project. At least one person of each houshold provided individual texts, the community agreed to be documented in day-to-day activities and during special events such as rituals. Several Awetí got involved in the further processing of the documentation data, especially by assisting in the creation of transcriptions and translations during the 9 field trips and in 8 visits of two to three speakers in Belém or Canarana.
030 saw the Awetí-Kuarup-98 film several times and was then asked to comment the film while watching it (without sound). He mostly describes what he sees, or what he identifies to be happening, but he does not give an explanation proper. There are long pauses, and the collector (Sebastian Drude) sometimes asks to continue descibing what is going on.
The performance is monolingual, in Awetí. Before and after, there has been interaction between the researcher and the speaker in Portuguese.
030 is sitting in fromt of the table with the microphone and the small video screen on it. Sebastian is behind the table. Other Awetí are present, but don't interact
030 watched the film "the Kuarup of the Awetí in 1998" twice, once with sound, and a second time without sound, this second time he was asked to provide a narration / description of the content of the film. SD is sitting together with him and prompts him for narrations. Some Awetí assis but do not interfere.
