Description:In this session Santo, one of the participants of the workshop and son of Reginaldo, tells the story of Ayahuasca. The recording takes place next to his father's house. Santo is sitting on a heap of pieces of wood. He has put on some traditional neck-ornament made of beads. During the recording, his son occasionally appears, sitting next to him, coughing, running through the picture. It is about 14 h.
This interdisciplinary project aims at the documentation of Cashinahua language and culture. The Cashinahua language community currently consists of about 6000 members living in several villages with 10 indigenous homelands in the Brazilian state of Acre, and about 1600 members living in 37 villages in Peru. Most members of the speech community are bilingual, either speaking Portuguese or Spanish as a second and in some cases (in Brazil) as a first language. The project is funded for the years of 2006 to 2009 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The linguist Eliane Camargo initiated her research among the Brazilian Cashinahua in 1989 and continued to work with the Peruvian Cashinahua in 1994. The anthropologist Philippe Erikson started to work in 1985 with the Matis, another Brazilian Pano group, and in 1993 with the Chacobo, a Pano group living in Bolivia. The linguist Sabine Reiter who previously worked in another Dobes-Project started her research among the Cashinahua in 2006.
This is the story of the hallucinogenic liana. During story-telling, Santo hardly makes any gestures.
The story is told in Cashinahua.
The recording was taken next to his father's house and there are only family members, basically children, around during the recording. Santo himself proposed to speak about his life. He does not seem to be nervous even though this is probably the first time that he is filmed by a video camera.
Doctorate candidate in the Cashinahua project; Magister Artium in Linguistics and Latin American Studies (Freie Unversität Berlin, 1999); European Master Degree in Linguistics (Freie Universität Berlin/ University of Manchester 2000), emphasis in language typology and sociolinguistics; from 2001 to 2006 field researcher in the Awetí Language Documentation Project (also belonging to the DobeS-Programme), several field periods from 2001to 2005 in the Upper Xingu area in Central Brazil.
Santo is one of Reginaldo's sons and younger brother of Joaquim. He is married and lives with his wife and 3 little children in the village of Carapanã. He has recently become a school teacher and is one of the few participants of the second week of the workshop on the Cashinahua language.
The recording was made with a Panasonic Digital Video Camera NV-GS500 (16bit audio, manual WB) on a triped and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.
There is a separate wave-file from the video-recording.
There is a short interruption in order to readjust the colours of the recording. Therefore some 6 seconds need to be cut out. Since the sun is continuously disappearing and reappearing through the leaves of the trees in the shadow of which Santo is sitting, parts of his body are occasionally dashed with sun-light. There is some background noise from people and animals, and one of Reginaldo's grandson occasionally appears in the picture. There is no additional recording on minidisk. The audio file is also extracted from the video recording. The session has an overall duration of 35 min and 2 sec.
