| Description: | This is recording of a dance that took place in the hamlet of Thamnḡakar GPS: -8.62567 141.61135. There were two dancing groups, one from Mibini and one from Rouku/Firra. These groups travelled to Thamnḡakar and prepared, practised and dressed up just outside the settlement. The first part of the footage captures thaifakési wath bringing the dance out in the open to the dance ground. The later recording are taken after the ritual arrival of the dancers at the dancing ground. Dancer stands in line forming a U shape. The dancers split along several lines: woman and children stand in the middle and men on outside. Men with drums stand either at the centre of the U shape called embar kambe - head men or they stand at either end of the U shape called ker kambe - tail men. Each vers/stanza of particular song is initiated with the embar kambe and then travels to the ker kambe. after a verse the U shape splits up and the dance walk across to the other end of dancing ground, realign to form a U shape and repeat the verse. Then the next song started. The footage is from the early stages of the dance while daylight allowed shooting video. The dance went on through the night until daybreak with some half-hour breaks inbetween. | |
| This project focuses on collecting multimedia documentation of multiple undescribed Papuan languages – Nen and Nambu (Morehead-Maro) and Kmntso (Tonda). Other nearby languages will have varrying degrees of description, including Idi, Nama, and Neme. All of these languages belong to an almost completely unknown family in Southern New Guinea. Based at the Australian National University in Canberra, plus collaborations with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and the PNG National Herbarium, the project will embed a German PhD student (Christian Döhler) in a team including a seasoned field linguist (Nick Evans) and a post-doc (Julia Colleen Miller), two Germany-based typologists (Bernard Comrie and Volker Gast) from the FAUST (Future Archive User Simulation Team), plus participation on targeted fieldtrips by ethnobiologist Chris Healey (ANU) and botanist Kipiro Damas (PNG National Herbarium, Madang). Particular foci of the documentation will be the natural world (especially ethnobotany and ethnoornithology), swidden cultivation, fire management and ethnoecology, mythology, auto-ethnography, ethnomathematics, and microvariation in language use in a situation of daily multilingualism.nichola | ||
