Description:The session consists of three recordings showing different events marking the end of the Jawari celebration (departure of guests, destruction and burning of the puppet).
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.
The session shows various events marking the end of the Jawari celebration: the departure of the Nahukua community members by bicycle who had been participating in the Awetí Jawari celebration, the destruction of the Jawari puppet by Awetí children, Awetí men eating at the men's house and the burning of the remainders of the Jawari puppet.
Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.
The participants are men and male children of the Awetí community as well as Nahukua men.
The Jawari-cerimony is performed by the Awetí-community as a whole. Since Jawari is a ritual celebration carried out by men, the male members of the Awetí-community are especially involved.
