We will take as objects of study two hymns of contemporary social movements and a statement chanted during Marches July 2013 namely: the Anthem of the Landless Rural Workers (MST), the Hymn of the Zapatista Movement and the statement concrete "Come To street ". Mirando such objects and articulating the concept of gender in the theoretical orbit circle which was part Bakhtin, I want to understand how is the transition from primary to secondary and genres such as the hymn, through its expressiveness, brand valuation of part of the story Movement embodied in the narrative of militants Settlement Monte Alegre, located in the region of Araraquara-SP, thus indicating the passage of the ethical to the aesthetic field. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender o gênero hino a partir da perspectiva de Bakhtin (2010) e as relações dialógicas que o mesmo estabelece com seus campos ou esferas sociais nos quais surge e se manifesta. Tomaremos como objetos de estudos dois hinos de Movimentos Sociais contemporâneos e um enunciado entoado durante as Marchas de Julho de 2013 quais sejam: o Hino do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais sem Terra (MST), o Hino do Movimento Zapatista e o enunciado concreto “Vem Pra Rua”. Mirando tais objetos e articulando o conceito de gênero na órbita teórica do Círculo do qual fazia parte Bakhtin, pretendo compreender como se dá a passagem dos gêneros primários aos secundários e como o hino, por meio de sua expressividade, marca a valoração de parte da história do Movimento concretizada na narrativa de militantes do Assentamento Monte Alegre, localizado na região de Araraquara-SP, desse modo, evidenciando a passagem do campo ético ao estético.

It takes a sociolinguistic dimension where the languages used to sing the national anthem in Zimbabwe are interrogated. The impetus behind the study is that Zimbabwe introduced a new language policy through the constitution where sixteen languages are officially recognised. While citizens look forward to the use of their languages, national symbols such as the national anthem still exist in dominant languages, at least officially. The study therefore sought to find out the views and language choices of citizens when it comes to singing the national anthem. This purpose was fulfilled by eliciting data through questionnaires which were distributed to four areas where marginalised languages are spoken. Participants were drawn from Plumtree, Gwanda, Hwange and Binga. Apart from questionnaires, focus group interviews were conducted with language activists who participate in language associations. Individual interviews were conducted with academics in the area of language. The conceptual framework of the study is nation building which is underpinned by four tenets, while the theory that guided the study is Bourdieu’s theory of social practice. The conceptual framework and theoretical framework were chosen to allow the study to investigate nation building in relation to the sociopolitical context which determines the use of languages in different spheres in Zimbabwe. The study extricates that language is politically malleable and at the same time has the potential to make or break the nation. Respondents were of mixed views concerning the non-use of their languages in the national anthem, bringing out the hegemonic tendencies. The findings of the study show that language is a form of identity and a strong tool of nation building. However, language policies which are not clear tend to confuse the citizens and there is need for the political elite to be involved in the implementation of such policies. The study hence advocates for marginalised languages to be accorded the status they need in order to be used for national symbol expression. / African Languages / D. Phil. (African Languages)

This dissertation asserts the value of James Lyon's Urania to the field of American music history as a vital contribution to the development of music in the British colonies prior to the War for Independence. While previous scholarship acknowledges Urania's importance as the first publication in America to contain music by a native-born composer, this study argues that its subscription list and selection of anthems (both of which were new to the field of American music publishing) contribute to the status this compilation is due. The confluence of the English chapel tradition and American singing school tradition contributes to the theological universality and accessibility of its twelve anthems. An introductory chapter discusses the secondary literature upon which this study is based - notably that of Oscar Sonneck and Richard Crawford - and posits applications for the idea presented herein beyond the field of musicology. Chapter 2 provides biographical information on James Lyon and contextualizes Urania within the broader framework of the English chapel tradition and the American singing-school tradition. Chapter 3 discusses the marketability of music in colonial America and explores the biographies of the subscribers to Urania using modern databases. Chapter 4 concerns the confluence of music and sacred text by placing Urania as a spiritual and cultural descendant of the theological universality preached during the Great Awakening. It concludes with an analysis of the anthems, taking into account both text and music. Chapter 5 concludes the study by showing how Urania affected music in the generations after its publication. My dissertation concludes with four appendices. Appendix A is an annotated list of Lyon's subscribers. Appendix B parses out basic information on the anthems, notably the texts. Appendices C and D provide critical notes and editions of the anthems, respectively.
