This is long time that I did not add a note on this blog. In the mean time I took the DoBeS training in Nijmegen and organised by trip to Ethiopia. This note comes from Addis Ababa, where I arrived two weeks ago. Things are going slowly but smoothly for the organisation of the fieltrip to Bayso and Haro. I will go with the two Ethiopian PhD candidates of my project until October 21. They will stay two full months. In the mean time, two other researchers, German anthropologists, will join us.
We had a problem with the equipment because of a silly shop that did not delivered it as promised. I will hopefully get what I could not bring with the two Germans will carry them. We're are sufficiently equipped anyway in terms of audio recorders, microphones and solar panels. As far as we work together there is no problem. At a certain point we'll separate and conduct our own researchers in selected places.
The languages are spoken on villages around the lakes and on an island in the Lake, called Gidiccho. The plan is to spend some time in the villages and ask for research authorisation at the local administration showing the research permits issues by Addis Ababa University Institute of Language Studies and Institute of Ethiopian Studies. One the first anthropologist comes, we'll go together to the islands. The local University in Arba Minch has promised to give us a motor boat engine and to find us a boat to rent for a good price. In one village we can stay in a kind of hotel room, while in the others we have to camp. We are using these days in Addis also to get camping equipment. Some we'll buy in Arba Minch. We cannot carry too much because we'll fly to Addis Ababa to Arba Minch and wight allowance is 20 kilo plus 5 hand lagguage.
More to come in the next days!
