本文由两部分组成。第一部分回顾迪拜的历史,展示迪拜阿拉伯部族和非洲奴隶之间的权力斗争和社会交往,并探讨、分析非洲奴隶在东道国的社会、文化归化。第二部分考察音乐和仪式在奴隶生活中的角色,特别阐明非洲音乐和歌谣与海湾地区诗歌相杂而生的阿尔纳玛(al-nahmah),即海谣。本章揭示不同样式的非洲音乐和仪式在奴隶的生存中发挥着什么作用。最后,本章指出在奴隶制度下,灵魂附身实际上是奴隶的一种反抗形式,也是他们忍受奴役的一种方法。结论部分探讨了迪拜社会与非洲后裔的音乐从古至今的联系。尽管人们长期对奴隶制及其影响保持缄默,海湾地区的非洲奴隶还是通过其音乐和仪式留下了无法抹煞的一笔,记录和保留了他们遭受奴役的历史。
This article consists of two parts. The first part reviews the history of Dubai, shows the power struggle and social interaction between the Arab tribes in Dubai and African slaves, and explores and analyzes the social and cultural naturalization of African slaves in the host country. The second part examines the role of music and rituals in the life of slaves, with particular reference to al-nahmah, a ballad, of African music and ballads combined with Gulf poetry. This chapter reveals the role of different styles of African music and rituals in the survival of slaves. Finally, this chapter points out that under the system of slavery, soul attachment is actually a form of revolt of slaves and a way to endure slavery. The conclusion section explores the relationship between Dubai society and African descendants of music from ancient times to today. Despite long-held silence on slavery and its effects, African slaves in the Gulf region have left an indelible mark through their music and rituals, recording and retaining their history of enslavement.
