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. 410 0$aDance and performance studies ;$vVolume 12. 606 $aSinging$zIreland$xSocial aspects 606 $aIrish poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOral tradition$zIreland 610 $aPerformance Studies, History: 18th/19th Century, Anthropology (General), Literary Studies. 615 0$aSinging$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aIrish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOral tradition 676 $a782.42162/91620092 700 $aNi?
