| Description: | Video and photographs of the preparation for the Nginji Mamurrng ceremony and the first showing of the mamurrng at the mamurrng ceremony. Men and women paint themselves and each other in preparation for the ceremony. The Nginji and Inyjalarrku musicians practice and the women and young men practice dancing, particularly the dancing with the mamurrng. The mamurrng ceremony was for Simone, the young daughter of Peter Guwadbu. See also 'Nginji_mamurrng_photo_metadat.xls' | |
| The classical song traditions of Western Arnhem Land are amongst the foremost examples of verbal art in the nine endangered languages of the region, but few people are now competent to perform or comment on them. Typically performed in multi-lingual social contexts, song texts demonstrate unusual linguistic features such as mixtures of languages and a high proportion of esoteric and intimate vocabulary. We will collect, transcribe, translate and analyse song texts and discussions about songs by contemporary performers, and where relevant repatriate and document archival recordings, making our research results available to communities via a network of local digital repositories. | ||
