Some questions/topics, we have discussed:
How did the journey with Dengbei start; what inspired you to explore so profoundly this topic?
Why Dengbêjî? What led you to researching the particular topics of singing/voice; Dengbêjî; women and work of pain? How would you describe your own perspective on dengbeji culture in terms of your own belonging?
What ethical aspects matter to you when it comes to doing research on indigenous practices? Internal/external positions; gaze; objectivization problematic etc. Do you sometimes have inner conflicts/dilemmas/concerns when you do research on this topic? Are there other conflicting interests in the field you do your research at – between politics, art and research objectivity? How do you deal with critical voices towards what you do? What is the super-power of an external perspective towards a ‘cultural practice’? Would you say your interaction with the practice of Dengbêjîand the field research you have been doing have affected in some way the way you teach in a western academic institution?
