內容簡介

Magowan (social anthropology, Queen's U., Belfast) considers the connection between songs and emotions in women's funeral laments from the Yolngu people of the north east Arnhem Land, Australia. She explores how sensory awareness of the environment creates a sense of song and sentiment and specific ways that the senses shape the songs and mediate ritual meaning and feeling. Specifically, she looks at ecology, emotion, and sensory awareness; women's ritualized sentiment and the performance of emotion; and the adaptation of ancestral forms in the global arena of Christianity. She also describes how children experience the environment in song and men's singing and dancing. Her fieldwork was conducted between 1990 and 2000.
