The basic problem of primary audio and video research materials is clearly shown by the survey: A great and important part of the entire heritage is still outside archival custody in the narrower sense, scattered over many institutions in fairy small collections, and even in private hands. reservation following generally accepted standards can only be carried out effectively if collections represent critical mass. Specialised audiovisual archives will solve their problems, as they will sooner or later succeed in getting appropriate funding to achieve their aims. A very encouraging example is the case of the Netherlands. The larger audiovisual research archives will also manage, more or less autonomously, the transfer of contents in time. For a considerable part of the research collections, however, the concept of cooperative models and competence centres is the only viable model to successfullly safeguard their holdings. Their organisation and funding is a considerable challenge for the scientific community. TAPE has significantly raised awareness of the fact that, unless action is swiftly taken, the loss of audiovisual materials is inevitable. TAPE’s international and regional workshops were generally overbooked. While TAPE was already underway, several other projects for the promotion of archives have received grants from organisations other than the European Commission, inter alia support for the St. Petersburg Phonogram Archive, and the Folklore Archive in Tirana, obviously as a result of a better understanding of the need for audiovisual preservation. When the TAPE project started its partners assumed that cooperative projects would fail because of the notorious distrust of researchers, specifically in the post-communist countries. One of the most encouraging surprises was to learn that, at least in the most recent survey, it became apparent that this social obstacle is fading out. TAPE may have contributed to this important development.
The existence of complex clauses in the Amazonian language Pirahã has been controversially debated. We present a novel analysis of field data demonstrating the existence of complex clauses in Pirahã. The data concern the tone of the morpheme 'sai' and stem from a field experiment where a second language speaker of Pirahã presented sentences and Pirahã speakers were asked to correct them saying the correct sentence alound. The experimental items contained the morpheme 'sai' in two different clausal environments: a nominalizer and a conditional environment according to Everett's 1986 description. Our phonetic analysis shows an effect clausal clausal environment on the pitch of 'sai'. The native Pirahã speakers pronounced conditional 'sai' with lower pitch than nominalizer 'sai'. We show furthermore that the experimenters pitch on 'sai' shows the opposite pattern from that of the native Pirahã speakers and hence the Pirahã's pitch could not just have been copied. The effect of the clausal environment on the tone of 'sai' can be explained by a complex clause analysis of Pirahã, while existing alternative proposals do not explain the difference.
Our most recent podcast: We were able to talk to the Japanese culturalanthropologist Mihara Ryôtarô while he visited Frankfurt in July for a talkon the Coool Japan Initiative [link]. As we have written on K-Pop in the past,we were very interested to talk about this kind of export promotion ofcultural goods as a foreign policy strategy: Do export subsidies of J-Popartifacts really promote Japanese soft power in the region? What are thedangers of promoting certain images of Japanese-ness? And is fried sushireally cool?
The Alor-Pantar Archipelago is still one of the most under-researched areas of Indonesia. However, in January 2009 I was able to collect data on anthropomorphic sculptures in the Tanjung Muna area of Pantar. The study used photographs of objects that had been purchased recently by European private art collectors in order to elicit responses regarding the local mythology. I was also able to interview local traders as well as the dealer who sold the sculptures, which allowed me to document information regarding their origin and former use, as well as the circumstances under which they had found their way on to the international art market. Traditional marriage rules as well as black magic played a central role. Furthermore, in the course of my research by chance I learned of a contemporary ancestor cult connected to the construction of a new clan house and of traditional (pre-Protestant) forms of healing.

The post-liberal debate on peacebuilding and reconciliation seems to have advanced. We observe efforts “bringing the local back in” (Debiel/Rink 2016) by enhancing local ownership, relational sensitivity, contextualization, culturalization, hybridity and last but not least resilience. Concepts furthermore try to integrate transnational dynamics, international power shifts and trends of regionalization. However, many questions remain: for scholars, for practitioners and last but not least for the local population...
A abordagem conceptual da categoria etnia, e as acções práticas dela derivadas, encontram-se, em Angola, profundamente matizadas pelo paradigma colonial. Sabe-se que em Angola os vários grupos étnicos, tal como aconteceu noutras paragens, foram agrupados em função de critérios linguísticos o que, durante o regime colonial, permitiu utilizar tal facto para um maior domínio e exploração dos mesmos.
Nas ciências sociais e humanas, e sobretudo em áreas como a Antropologia, já que, na sua maior parte são fruto de pesquisas qualitativas assentes em processos heurísticos derivados das informação obtidas através key informant, de pesquisas de campo, ou mesmas das narrativas vivenciais, recomenda-se toda a prudência e pouca pressa para se tirarem conclusões. Recordese que as "verdades absolutas" sempre foram perniciosas na história da humanidade, pois se, apossadas por poderes mal-intencionados, poderão ser nefastos para uma determinada comunidade. E, infelizmente a África está cheia desses exemplos.
