Description:This session in which the Awetí men and SD throw arrows at the Jawari puppet, is of cultural and linguistic value to the project. There is an audio as well as a video recording of this session. Video see jaw_perf4a.mpg
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language, a tupian language of a small speech community in central Brazil. It is funded for 2000/2001 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initiated his research among the Awetí in 1998.
The session consists of an audio and a video recording of the Jawari ritual of throwing arrows and verbally insulting a straw puppet which is representing an adversary. Since the collector is directly involved in the performance the filming was done by the community member 017.
Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.
The male members of the Awetí community and SD are performing a Jawari ritual. The filming is done by 017.
