of this workshop is to provide some thoughts and practical hints <SPAN

materials such as story books for the language community. Many of us use stories
for our analysis and feel an urge to make such materials available locally. The
reaction of the community members towards such initiatives is in general very
positive and it tends to boost their <SPAN class=GramE>self confidence</SPAN>.
Questions that <SPAN class=GramE>will be addressed</SPAN> are very practical,
for example: Should the publication be bilingual or monolingual? If <SPAN
class=GramE>bilingual</SPAN> how should the two languages be arranged? Do we use
drawings? What is the best font size? What is an appropriate translation? <SPAN
class=GramE>etc</SPAN>. The workshop <SPAN class=GramE>is accompanied</SPAN> by
a small exhibition of reading materials.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

the importance of ‘patrimonialisation’ of intellectual activity/tradition is
poorly understood, an effort is being made to bring to Amsterdam a member of the

explain the cultural, mythological and social significance of the Wajãpi
painting (including body painting) tradition.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
