摘要
Máire Bhuí Ní Laeire,一个既不会读也不会写的农妇,在18世纪后期的口头传统中获得了极大的赞誉,因为她在歌曲创作方面的非凡能力和对殖民统治的毫不妥协的蔑视。她的作品与19世纪20年代以后的时期最为密切相关,当时Rockite农业运动最为激烈,千禧年信仰在这个农业秘密社团的成员中广泛传播。她的歌曲代表了另一种思想传统,这种思想传统存在于难以捉摸的表演时刻,受到与官方书面记录平行存在的丰富口头文化的培育。在这个非官方的,但影响力很大的思想形成领域,不识字的女性歌曲诗人会参与到她的社区和社会最紧迫的政治问题中,展示了歌曲在政治参与和思想形成方面的绝对力量。Ní Laeire的工作和遗产的三个关键要素将在此考虑:口头美学,口头写作和训练;歌曲本身对预言和直言的表达;以及对不识字的爱尔兰女歌曲诗人在反殖民思想和行动主义历史上的作用的重新评价。
Máire Bhuí Ní Laeire, a farmer’s wife who could neither read nor write, gained great acclaim in the oral tradition from the late eighteenth century due to her exceptional abilities at song making and the uncompromising disdain for the colonial establishment expressed therein. Her compositions are most closely associated with the period from the 1820s onward when the Rockite agrarian movement was at its strongest, and when millenarian belief was widespread among members of that agrarian secret society. Her songs represent an alternative tradition of thought that lived in the elusive moment of performance itself, fostered by a rich oral culture that existed parallel to official written accounts. In this unofficial, though highly influential, sphere of idea-making, the illiterate female song poet would engage with the most pressing political concerns of her community and society, demonstrating the sheer power of song for political engagement and thought formation. Three key elements of Ní Laeire’s work and legacy will be considered herein: oral aesthetics, oral composition, and training; representations of prophecy and parrhesia in the songs themselves; and a re-appraisal of the role of the illiterate Irish-speaking female song poet in the history of anti-colonial thought and activism.
