Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper concerns rural life in northern Iceland as observed through participation in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with some work undertaken subsequently. The paper considers farm life, beliefs and communal music in a monoglot (Icelandic only) society where the memories of people stretched back to the 1890s. The three main characters encountered are Lárus, his wife Pétúrina (Figure 1) and their daughter Didda. Thus it documents and reviews what was essentially women’s work, and especially home-made clothing; traditional diet, its preparation and preservation; and the daily and social contexts in which it was eaten. This forms the first part of a series. Future papers will address the background and social relationships over the time in question, covering also men’s work and travel. It will also include folk traditions and verses sung at times of social gathering for work or entertainment, and their tunes.
喂养乌鸦:衣服、食物、妇女的工作和对冰岛北部变化的回忆,1976-82年
本文关注的是20世纪70年代末和80年代初冰岛北部的农村生活,随后进行了一些工作。这篇论文研究了一个单语社会(仅限冰岛语)的农场生活、信仰和公共音乐,人们的记忆可以追溯到19世纪90年代。遇到的三个主要人物是Lárus,他的妻子Pétúrina(图1)和他们的女儿Didda。因此,它记录和回顾了本质上是女性的工作,尤其是自制服装;传统饮食及其制备和保存;以及食用它的日常和社会环境。这是本系列的第一部分。未来的论文将讨论背景和社会关系在问题的时间,也包括男人的工作和旅行。它还将包括民间传统和在工作或娱乐社交聚会时唱的诗句,以及它们的曲调。
