| Description: | The chief Ahukaka (Tahukula) performs the "baptism" of the pequi for the researcher BF in her house at the Kuikuro village (Ipatse). | |
| The Project "Linguistic, Historical and Ethnographical Documentation of the Upper Xingu Carib Language or Kuikuro (Brazil)"began in December 200 in the context of the DOBES Program supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung and with the technical support of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen). | ||
| This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'individual performance', Discursive = 'performative formulaic spell', Performance = 'oral-poetry'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information. | ||
| The chief Ahukaka (Tahukula) knows (among some few old men) the (magic) spells called hitsindzoho and translated in local portuguese as "batismo (baptism)". Hitsindzoho is performed ritually in the center of the village plaza by a chief who knows the long formulaic spells of this genre. The rythm and versification, as well as the vocabulary are special of this kind of formal discourse. The "baptism" is performed when the first pequi fruits or the first corn are ready for the consume by the community. In this case, the performer stands in front of some pequi fruits or in front of a pan containing pequi porridge (mingau de pequi). The spells are performed in these occasions in order to guarantee a good production of good fruits. The spells are built around structured references to the origin myth (The Beginning of the Pequi). | ||
| The performance of the spell is in Kuikuro(the baptism of the pequi fruits). The performer uses Portuguese and Kuikuro in his explanations about the content and the performance of the spell. | ||
| Ahukaka performs the "imbe hitsindzoho (baptism of the pequi)" for the researcher and explains to her each part of the spell. BF is recording and interacting as hearer with the speaker. | ||
| Ak is one of the Kuikuro chief, the hugogo oto, "master of the plaza". | ||
| BF is the main researcher of the Kuikuro Project. Anthropologist and linguist, she is teacher and researcher at the Graduate Programme for Anthropology, National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and researcher of the CNPq (Brazilian Counsel for Research and Technological Development). | ||
