Description:The village scenes captured in this session were recorded at different dates from the 15th of May to the 24th of June 2003. The recordings took place outside the houses.
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 is a collection of several village scenes either showing members of the Awetí community engaged in different activities outside their houses, e.g. children playing, men wrestling, young people playing football, or showing the village panorama in general.
Awetí among the Awetí themselves. With the researchers, a mixture of Awetí and Protuguese, from both sides.
The verbal interaction between the principal researcher and members of the Awetí community is characterized by a mixture of Brazilian Portuguese and Awetí. Those members of the community who have some knowledge of the Portuguese language switch into Portuguese whenever the researcher has got difficulties to understand their native tongue. The researcher tries to speak in Awetí as much as possible, especially since most women and older people do not understand Portuguese.
