Singing Ideas in Society -- Appendix of Songs and Lore -- Bibliography -- IndexConsidered by many to be the greatest Irish song poet of her generation, Máire Bhuí Ní Laeire (Yellow Mary O’Leary; 1774–1848) was an illiterate woman unconnected to elite literary and philosophical circles who powerfully engaged the politics of her own society through song.  As an oral arts practitioner, Máire Bhuí composed songs whose ecstatic, radical vision stirred her community to revolt and helped to shape nineteenth-century Irish anti-colonial thought. This provocative and richly theorized study explores the re-creative, liminal aspect of song, treating it as a performative social process that cuts to the very root of identity and thought formation, thus re-imagining the history of ideas in society.Dance and performance studies ;Volume 12.SingingIrelandSocial aspectsIrish poetryHistory and criticismOral traditionIrelandPerformance Studies, History: 18th/19th Century, Anthropology (General), Literary Studies.SingingSocial aspects.Irish poetryHistory and criticism.Oral tradition782.42162/91620092Ní Shíocháin Tríona1687827MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819550103321Singing ideas4061605UNINA
