Rethinking the dynamics of place in Warlpiri performance

该项目将确定瓦尔皮里人在仪式歌曲表演中建立和谈判联系的动态方式。通过与瓦尔皮里人的合作研究，该项目创新地实施了土著方法论，强调瓦尔皮里歌唱传统是多模态的，并体现在他们的实践中。 该项目将首次系统地研究瓦尔皮里以地点为基础的歌曲，结合过去和当代的例子，以确定人与地点之间的动态相互联系。在验证瓦尔皮里仪式歌曲表演的当代价值时，该项目将支持这些传统的持续活力。

This project will determine the dynamic ways in which Warlpiri people forge and negotiate connections to place in performance of ceremonial songs. Through collaborative research with Warlpiri people this project innovatively implements Indigenous methodological approaches which emphasise that Warlpiri singing traditions are multimodal and embodied in their practice. This project will undertake the first systematic study of Warlpiri place-based songs in performance contexts incorporating past and contemporary instances to determine the dynamic interconnections between people and places. In validating the contemporary value of Warlpiri performance of ceremonial songs, this project will support the continuing vitality of these traditions.
