“…Con este acto el Gobierno pretende rebajar la confrontación política, fortaleciendo a las instituciones del país y reforzando la solidaridad ciudadana, a través de la escenificación del dolor compartido por gran parte de la sociedad, también denominado drama social. 49 El hecho de que la mayoría de los anteriores funerales oficiales se celebraran en la Catedral de la Almudena y que este homenaje de Estado se escenifique en la Plaza de la Armería del cercano Palacio Real, representa una clara apuesta por la laicidad del Estado. La oposición física de ambos edificios simboliza un cambio muy profundo en la concepción de la sociedad y en la construcción de las instituciones públicas.…”

El 16 de julio de 2020, las principales autoridades del Estado se reúnen en la plaza de la Armería del Palacio Real para rendir un solemne homenaje a los miles de víctimas que la pandemia de la COVID-19 había causado en España. Se trata del primer homenaje de Estado de carácter aconfesional celebrado en el país tras la reinstauración de la democracia en 1978. Dentro de un contexto de inestabilidad social provocada por la pandemia y con la llegada al poder del primer Gobierno de coalición de partidos de izquierda desde la II República, se produce una reactualización del ritual con la celebración de este homenaje de Estado a las víctimas del COVID. Este estudio, de corte ensayístico, pretende ahondar en el concepto del ritual político, en la posibilidad de crear nuevos ritos y en su papel en las modernas democracias. Además, se investiga en profundidad en los funerales oficiales ocurridos en España desde la aprobación de la actual Constitución, sus rasgos comunes y sus particularidades. Con este artículo se pretende poner en valor la importancia de este tipo de actos oficiales para cohesionar la sociedad, legitimar a las instituciones del Estado e influir a través del discurso político. Palabras claveComunicación política, protocolo, rituales políticos, COVID-19, homenaje de Estado.

A New Approach to the Classification of Gaelic Song

Oral Tradition

A good deal of water has flowed under the bridge since James Ross published "A Classification of Gaelic Folk-Song" in 1957. 1 Ross's study was typical of a time when scholars favored a clinical and taxonomical approach to oral traditional culture, before modern theories about text, context, and genre began to raise good questions about the application of scientific methods to the analysis of cultural activity. The search for answers to these questions has greatly advanced the way ethnographers and ethnomusicologists understand culture, including the cultures of the Gael. 2 After six decades, it seems fitting to revisit Ross's classification system, and to examine whether the effort of constructing such a system is still worthwhile or not. In The Anthropology of Music, Alan Merriam (1964:209) suggests that we understand musical activity by considering the uses and functions that music serves within a given culture: In the study of human behavior we search constantly. .. not only for the descriptive facts about music, but, more important, for the meaning of music. We wish to know not only what a thing is, but, more significantly, what it does for people and how it does it. Merriam defines the uses of music as "the ways in which music is employed in human society. .. the habitual practice or customary exercise of music either as a thing in itself or in conjunction with other activities" (210), suggesting that the uses of music can be understood in terms of how musical activity is manifest in daily life-in what social contexts it occurs, and to what utilitarian purposes it is deployed. Function, on the other hand, "concerns the reasons for Oral Tradition, 32/1 (2018):71-140 1 I owe a deep debt of gratitude to a number of colleagues whose help and advice have sustained me in pursuing this rather tricky project. My thanks to the organizers of the 2012 Rannsachadh na Gàidhlig conference in Glasgow, who provided a platform for work-in-progress; to colleagues in Celtic and Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh, including Drs. John Shaw and William Lamb, both of whom were kind enough to comment upon a revised draft of this paper; to Dr. Cathlin Macaulay, Archivist of the School of Scottish Studies Archives, for offering guidance about the use of archive recordings; to Dr. Heather Sparling of Cape Breton University, who read and commented on an early draft; to Dr. Dòmhnall Uilleam Stiùbhart of the University of the Highlands and Islands, who provided help with the subject of Gaelic bawdry; and to Dr. John MacInnes, who has allowed me to pick his brains and mine his memory on occasions too numerous to count. I would also like to thank the two anonymous reviewers assigned to read the original draft of this paper on behalf of Oral Tradition. Their queries, objections, and suggestions have, I hope, greatly strengthened the arguments advanced here, and saved me from many a clanger. Tapadh leibh uile.

“…By early 1615, James had absorbed the changing turn to cynicism when he vented at Carr, "For the exterior to the world, what can any servants expect of their prince but countenance or reward." 228 Carr's fatal error was that he believed he should obtain the power that was perceived he held, an authority beyond his abilities.…”

The Elusive Robert Carr: A Construction of a Jacobean Favourite, 1598-1612

Spence¹

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

<p>This thesis explores the early political career of the Scottish borderer Robert Carr Kerr, earl of Somerset (1585/6–1645), a courtier and later administrator (1598-1615) in the reigns of James VI and I, King of Scotland, England, and Ireland. For the first time the pervasive contention Carr was a significant Jacobean figure will be challenged. To achieve this, cultural artefacts supplement archival sources to illustrate the era’s ever-growing paranoia about royal favouritism. The first chapter explains how contemporaries and early historians of James’ reign revived classical portrayals of tyranny to transform Carr’s conventional pattern of advancement into something extraordinary. These authors obscured Carr’s origin from the formidable Kerrs of Ferniehirst in favour of a narrative that James ignored his natural advisors and promoted a transgressive, pacifist court. The second chapter demonstrates Carr’s role as a court broker and James’ closest companion. While their friendship conformed to Renaissance norms, Carr struggled for legitimacy in an environment where favouritism was linked to sycophancy. Finally, apprehension about favourites merged with neo-Stoic concerns that James failed to understand or respect English liberties. There were attempts to present Carr as a prop for absolutism. Carr became a conduit for English frustrations about James’ refusal to abandon the Anglo-Scottish union, and he attracted baseless claims of sabotaging the 1610 ‘The Great Contract’ between King and Parliament. This thesis argues that Carr was an unremarkable figure in the milieu of the Jacobean Court. The research findings of this thesis demonstrate the deep-set prejudices against courtiers (especially Scots), which turned an inoffensive figure like Carr into one that threatened to destabilise the Commonwealth.</p>
