Abstract

ABSTRACT This dialogue between Wägilak ceremonial leader Daniel Wilfred and academic Samuel Curkpatrick explores the Yolŋu concepts of raki’ (string), raypirri’ (respect, discipline) and wetj (gift) as they relate to cross cultural understanding and collaborative performance. The ancestral raki’ twines different generations together in song and is strengthened through raypirri’, by which ancestral identities are extended as wetj to a new generation. Through these themes, we consider the role of manikay (public ceremonial song) in the formation of knowledge and responsibility, and the composition of yuta manikay (new songs) through collaborative engagements with the Australian Art Orchestra. By drawing together numerous exchanges between the authors during research activities, teaching and other personal discussions in 2021–22, we emphasise relational textures within Yolŋu epistemology and show how understanding develops through creativity and growth.

在歌曲中编织在一起：协作知识与Raypirri的创造力

Wägilak礼仪领袖Daniel Wilfred和学者Samuel Curkpatrick之间的对话探讨了Yolŋu中raki(字符串)、raypirri(尊重、纪律)和wej(礼物)的概念，因为它们与跨文化理解和合作表现有关。祖先的raki“用歌声将不同的世代缠绕在一起，并通过raypirri得到加强”，通过raypirri，祖先的身份作为wetj扩展到新一代。通过这些主题，我们考虑了manikay(公共仪式歌曲)在知识和责任形成中的作用，以及通过与澳大利亚艺术管弦乐团合作创作的yuta manikay(新歌)。通过汇集作者在2021-22年的研究活动、教学和其他个人讨论期间的大量交流，我们强调Yolŋu认识论中的关系结构，并展示理解是如何通过创造力和成长发展的。
