Description:This session contains a story told by Mario's wife Laura Bardales Peso in which the the protagonist is a blind old woman. The recording took place in the empty house of Mario's and Laura's neighbour at about 9:30 a.m. During the recording of this second story of the whole recording session there are several people present: Laura's husband Mario, her sister Mirita, Laura's and Mario's daughter Martha and Sabine Reiter. There is little background noise from a nearby neighbour.
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 has an old blind woman as a protagonist.
The story is told in Cashinahua.
Since Sabine was living in Laura's house during her first field-period in San Martin and since several other family members are present at the recording, there is a relaxed atmosphere. Laura chooses short narratives which may be due to the fact that she is not used to audio gravations. Lateron Laura refuses to present a story for a video gravation since she is afraid of having her picture captured by a 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.
Laura was born in the village of Palmera several days further upriver. She got married to Mario at the age of ten or eleven. Together with him she moved to Balta, Conta and finally to San Martin which was founded in the late 1990s (about 1997). She has got five (living) children with him.
The audio recording was done with a Sony Portable Minidisk Recorder MZ-RH10 and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.
The session is on track 4 of group 1 on the minidisk. The whole session has a duration of 3 min and 47 sec. The beginning of the recording (the first 16 seconds) may be deleted.
The session CASRAM13Jun0601-S4 on CADMF 11 needs to be renamed as Laura_nete_bekun. The first 15 seconds of this session should be cut off.
