摘要

This paper aims to rethink âpeasant consciousnessâ in colonial Egypt, through a study of the performance of folksongs by Upper Egyptian agricultural workers on the archaeological excavation sites of Karnak and Dendera at the turn of the twentieth century (1885-1914). Mainly based on a historicalâanthropological analysis of songs collected between 1900 and 1914 by the French archaeologists MaspÃ©ro and Legrain, this essay proposes a new understanding of subaltern consciousnesses as fragmented objects constructed through a dialectical relationship of power and resistance as performed by the various actors present on the scene. Drawing its inspiration from the work of contemporary ethnomusicologists (Finnegan 197717. Finnegan , R. 1977 .

View all references) and relying on the framework shaped by their use of oralâformulaic and speechâact theories, this study conceives of the performance, reception and collection of the songs as a crucial locus of encounter, interaction and negotiation between the local landless peasants employed as daily workers on the excavation sites, and the colonial administrators of the Antiquities Service during the key period of transition from corvÃ©e to contract labour.View full textDownload full textKeywordsUpper Egypt, Folksongs, Colonial Capitalism, Subaltern Consciousness, PerformanceRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02757201003754210
