'By my own hand' - Women's manuscript collection and song culture in early modern Scotland (1630-1700).

从民族音乐学的角度来看，苏格兰丰富而充满活力的歌曲文化的人口和口头传统已经被检查、分析和庆祝，从当地的民间俱乐部场景到大型的国际节日，如凯尔特连接。与此同时，“musik fyne”（或“宫廷歌曲”）也获得了学术界的关注，建立在海伦娜·曼尼·希尔和她同时代的肯尼斯·艾略特的开创性工作的基础上。我提出的研究目标是苏格兰17世纪不太出名的音乐文化，它介于这些看似两极分化的语料库之间：早期流行歌曲文化。当前关注17世纪文化的学术强调以男性为中心的政治神学讨论；然而，我的特别研究将调查迄今为止尚未被充分探索的女性和歌曲领域，揭示一个多方面的、基于手稿的文化网络。

From an ethnomusicological perspective, the demotic and oral traditions of Scotland's rich and vibrant song culture has been examined, analysed and celebrated from the local folk club scene to the large-scale, international festivals such as Celtic Connections. Meanwhile, 'musik fyne' (or 'court song') has also gained scholarly attention, building on the seminal work of Helena Mennie Shire and her contemporary Kenneth Elliott. My proposed research targets Scotland's less celebrated musical culture of the seventeenth-century which falls between these seemingly polarising corpora: early popular song culture. Current scholarship focussing on the seventeenthcentury culture emphasises male-centred, political-theological discussions; however, my particular study will investigate the, as yet, under-explored area of women and song, revealing a many-faceted, manuscript-based cultural network.
