Description:Length: 00:02:43:359 This session is the continuation of the session EAO_120906_1-POY and the preceding part of EAO_120906_3. So the conditions are the same. KH and SB had an appointment to meet the speaker. The visit takes place three days after she has come back from a trip to a Chimane curandero, about which she speaks later (EAO_120906_3). Her sister and cousin are sitting next to her, but you cannot see them in the recording.

The Movima Archive Movima is a genetically unclassified language spoken in the so-called Moxos region in the savannahs of the Bolivian Amazon area. It is still spoken by more than 1,000 people (1,452 in 1996). Most speakers are over 50 years old and bilingual in Spanish. There are only very few children who still learn the language, while children are usually raised in Spanish only. Today, efforts are being made to implement the language at schools. The village Santa Ana del Yacuma, the center of the Movima-speaking area with approximately 12,000 inhabitants, was founded approximately in 1708 by the Jesuits. The Jesuits also converted the the Movima people to Catholicism. There does not seem to be an observable trace of Precolumbian culture (traditions, mythology) left. It is therefore quite striking that the Movimas have kept their native language until today. Since the language is getting lost rapidly, one goal of our data collection is to gather authobiographical information from its last fluent speakers. At the same time, as much as possible other text types were collected, such as dialogues, procedural texts, descriptions etc. The village „fiesta“ on July 26th is culturally very important. It includes processions, bull fights, and dancing. Many people from the country visit the village, and the Movima language is spoken a lot. Therefore much of the data has to do with the fiesta. The Movima project contains data collected between 2001 and 2008 in Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia. Between 2001 and 2004, they were collected by Katharina Haude, then Nijmegen University. Since 2006, they were collected by Silke Beuse and Katharina Haude within the DoBeS project at the University of Cologne. Field work was carried out during the dry season between June and October each year.
Length: 00:02:43:359 Here the speaker talks about the drop of bitterness concerning the ceremonies of the 'Semana Santa', while all the people go the mass and the celebrations people break into their houses and steal. The people are also afraid to stay at home alone in these times.
Duración: 00:02:43:359 Aquí la parlante habla de la desventaja de las ceremonias de la Semana Santa: cuando toda la gente del pueblo esta en la misa y participa en la ceremonia otra gente entra en sus casa y roba. La gente del pueblo tambien tiene miedo de quedarse solo en casa en aquel tiempo.
Except for two or three sentences in Spanish, the interview is held in Movima.
