歌唱灾难：口述传统如何服务于或不服务于政府
Drawing on Michel Foucault’s notion of gouvernementalite, here defined as the strategies utilized to render a given society governable, this lecture will explore how the vernacular bardic tradition of narrative picture painting has been co-opted and exploited by the state to convey ideological positions at times of crisis and disaster in the state of West Bengal, India. 反霸权话语的主题也将通过展示吟游诗人如何对悲剧事件提供他们自己的连续评论来解决，这些评论往往与当地政府机构官方认可的主叙事背道而驰。 洪水和地震救援以及社区不和谐和政治暗杀都是例子。 Based on ethnographic fieldwork that began in 2001, the conclusion will question transparent notions of “truth” (萨提亚), when it comes to interpreting and/or explaining contentious moments in the lifeworlds of rural Bengali peasants.
