Journal of the Society for EthnomusicologyResumen: This article critically considers the representation of death within the song tradition of modern Irish Republicanism. I explore how such represen- tations have changed in parallel with the various ideological metamorphoses that Irish Republicanism has undergone, specifically in the twentieth century. I argue that the centrality of self-sacrifice has resulted in the development of ballad narratives that deliberately obfuscate on the issue of Republican vio- lence, resulting in the deaths of all Republican militants (regardless of cause or context), ultimately portrayed as a form of heroic self-martyrdom.Existencias: 1Tipo de ítem | Biblioteca actual | Colección | Signatura | Info Vol | Copia número | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras |
