README FILE FOR "firearms and gunpowder (Mali mp4)" videos
Author: Dr. Jeffrey Heath
Contact: jheath@umich.edu
Date Written: 2023-09-07
This work is one of several, each with a general subject matter, in the Deep Blue Data collection "Mali documentary videos from 2023".
https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/data/collections/70795840p?locale=en
The individual videos are in documentary form and are in mp4 (m4v) format. They were produced in 2023 by Jeffrey Heath using footage shot over several preceding years as part of linguistic fieldwork in central Mali (mostly Dogon and Bozo ethnic areas). AVS video editor was used. The videos are lightly subtitled in English. Primary funding by National Science Foundation, Documenting Endangered Languages program. Further credits are at the end of each video. Any additional videos on this topic that may be produced in future years, or copies of these same videos in another video format, will be archived in separate works, possibly in the same collection.
These 2023 videos supplement a body of similar videos from Central Mali archived in 2018 in the Deep Blue Data collection "Central Mali documentary videos".
https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/data/collections/9019s315v?locale=en
That collection includes works on "crafts and grooming", "oils soaps and soda-ash", "hunting and collecting", "herding and dairy", "food and drink preparation", "agriculture", "cultural event". Each work contains several videos in multiple formats.
The videos from Mali may be compared with a similar 2023 collection, "Burkina Faso documentary videos", from footage shot in southwestern Burkina. A much smaller collection "Côte d'Ivoire documentary videos", shot in north central CI, is planned.
