摘要
挽歌是一种传达忧伤和悲痛的创作语调。从早期的口语文学到当代的书面文学,美国本土人创作了大量此类文本。欧美文学中的挽歌多抒发个人悲伤,同时将"过去"放在显要位置。本土人的挽歌则多表现特定族群的宇宙观和历史遭遇,侧重"未来",传递渴望继续生存的信息,可谓是本土人"集体性忧郁的哀悼"。
： As a genre expressing melancholy or sadness, elegies abound in N- ative American literature ranging from early oral performances to contemporary writings. Rather than highlighting the past and personal loss as mainstream literature does, Native American elegies embody the mourning of collective melancholia, reflecting indigenous people＇s unique vision of the world and the sufferings they experienced. Another important message these elegies convey is that the people might live on.
