| Description: | Discussion about Mamurrng ceremonies at Warruwi, 11 November 2006. Some of the discussion relates to the Nginji Mamurrng that was happening that week. The discussion relates more generally to the Mamurrng ceremonies - the performance contexts for various different song sets at different times. Other parts of the discussion are not related to song-sets or to the Nginji mamurrng at all. | |
| 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. | ||
