| Description: | In this session Mequias, the son of Marcelino, tells about how he was bitten by a snake. The event took place while Barbara Keifenheim was in the village. She made the recording in the village of Columbiana in 1994. | |
| 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. | ||
| The story is about how a snake bit Mequias in the head and nearly killed him. | ||
| The narrative is told in Cashinahua. | ||
| Mequias is the son of Marcelino and Alicia and lives in the Peruvian village of Colombiana. | ||
| The recording was originally made in 1994 with a tape recorder on a 90-min cassette (Sony90, Super Chrome Class) named "Histoire de Marcelino". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil II" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the media file is named "Marcellino_1_AB_stereo". There is a gap in the recording from 00:46:26 to 00:46:38 which needs to be cut out. | ||
| The recording was made with a Sony-Taperecorder (type TC) which was made suitable for the tropical climate by golden plugs. | ||
