Description:The session consists of three conversations going on at different occasions on the 13th and 25th of June. The audio recordings may eventually be trascribed. The images in part 1 of the session were taken at the men's house after the first Jawari dance, shown in session jawari_perf2, had finished. There is an audio recording of the conversation going on at the time when the images were taken. The images of part 2 were taken after the Jawari performance on the 13th of June. There is an audio recording of the conversation going on at the moment when the photos were taken. The audio recording of part three, from the 25th of June, consists of a conversation between several Awetí men. There is no corresponding video recording.
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.
