New ways for old ceremonies: an archival research project

这项研究旨在制定和实施适当的土著框架，以保存、解释和传播澳大利亚北领地Wagait-Daly地区的仪式表演录音。重点是早期人类学家和传教士制作的一系列关于最后葬礼仪式表演的录音。仪式表演是整合来自许多不同领域的土著知识的关键过程，是交流、传递和转变与国家、亲属和身份的关系的强大社会力量的场所。其目的是扩大仪式的力量，以便在未来有利于土著人民的身份和澳大利亚共同的历史。

This research aims to develop and implement suitable Indigenous frameworks for the preservation, interpretation and dissemination of the recordings of ceremonial performances in the Wagait-Daly region of the Northern Territory of Australia. The focus is a body of recordings, made by early anthropologists and missionaries, of final mortuary ceremony performances. The ceremonial performance is a key process for integrating Indigenous knowledge from many different domains, a socially powerful site of exchange, transmission and transformation of relationship to country, kin and identity. The aim is to extend the power of ceremony in order to benefit Indigenous people's identity and Australia's shared history in the future.
