摘要

《拉撒路》由囚犯演唱,于1959年在密西西比州的帕奇曼农场监狱录制,作为2000年获奖配乐《兄弟,你在哪里?》的主题曲。因此,重新定位,帮助激发了民间复兴。和它的主角一样,《拉撒路宝》也被“搅乱”了——被捕获、被保存、被美化、被商业化。它也被寓言化了:由非裔美国牧师明确表达,由配乐含蓄地表达,描绘了高度浪漫主义的循环之旅,这种比喻起源于普罗提诺和奥古斯丁。此外,配乐唤起了摩尼教对欧洲殖民主义的寓言,同时批判和再现了南方本土文化的种族化想象。

“Go Out and Bring Me Lazarus”: O Brother, Allegory, and a Work Song’s Circuitous Journey
ABSTRACT Sung by convicts and recorded in 1959 at Mississippi’s Parchman Farm penitentiary, the work song “Po Lazarus” keynoted 2000ʹs award-winning soundtrack O Brother, Where Art Thou? and, thus recontextualized, helped spark a folk revival. Like its protagonist, “Po Lazarus” has been “messed with” – captured, preserved, aestheticized, commercialized. It’s also been allegorized: explicitly by African-American ministers and implicitly by the soundtrack, which limns the circular journey of high Romanticism, a trope originating with Plotinus and Augustine. Moreover, the soundtrack evokes the Manichean allegory of European colonialism, working to simultaneously critique and reproduce the racialized imaginary of Southern vernacular culture.
