Abstract

The musical lyrics of the late Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi (1952–2019), by focusing on social-cultural values and practices, are an unexplored but valuable resource for the purpose of thinking about ubuntu and death. In this article, the authors put forward a nuanced examination of the corpus of Tuku's music on death that reveals multiple, inconsistent, contradictory and interrelated insights into how ubuntu and death speak to each other. Getting to deep understandings of some of these consistencies and contradictions requires examination of the contexts, audiences, motives, and other factors that relate to particular songs. In part because of this the authors do not seek to suggest that any contradictions or inconsistencies they identify are evidence of failures or omissions in Tuku's thoughts on ubuntu and death. Rather, they seek to recognise Tuku's appreciation for how ubuntu and death bear many contingent, commensurable, incommensurable, fragile and even unspeakable meanings in the existential course of a life – in the fearsome face of death. From this vantage point, the authors recognise and value Tuku's practices of (indirect) communication. Specifically, they aver that Tuku's indirect communication exemplifies right ways of talking about concerns relating to how people should live and die. In doing this, they offer new insights into right ways of conducting indirect communication to respectfully communicate, to produce and to reproduce desired societies in which everyone can be the most that they can be.

奥利弗·姆图库兹(Oliver Mtukudzi)音乐中的死亡与Ubuntu

摘要

已故的Oliver“ Tuku” Mtukudzi(1952-2019)的音乐歌词着眼于社会文化价值观和习俗,是出于思考ubuntu和死亡而未开发但有价值的资源。在本文中,作者对Tuku死亡音乐的语料库进行了细微的考察,揭示了关于ubuntu和死亡如何说话的多种,不一致,矛盾和相互关联的见解。要深入了解其中的某些一致性和矛盾性,需要检查与特定歌曲相关的背景,听众,动机和其他因素。部分由于这个原因,作者没有试图暗示他们发现的任何矛盾或矛盾都是Tuku关于Ubuntu问题和死亡的思想失败或遗漏的证据。相当,他们试图认识到Tuku对Ubuntu和死亡如何在生命的生存过程中承受可怕的,面对死亡的各种偶然,可衡量,不可衡量,脆弱甚至是无法言喻的意义的赞赏。从这一观点出发,作者认识到并重视Tuku的(间接)交流实践。具体来说,他们平均认为Tuku的间接沟通体现了正确的方式来谈论有关人们应该如何生活和死亡的担忧。通过这样做,他们提供了正确的方式进行间接沟通的新见解,以进行相互尊重的沟通,产生和再生产期望的社会,每个人都可以在其中发挥最大的作用。在生命的生存过程中–令人恐惧的死亡表情中的脆弱甚至难以言喻的含义。从这一观点出发,作者认识到并重视Tuku的(间接)交流实践。具体来说,他们平均认为Tuku的间接沟通体现了正确的方式来谈论有关人们应该如何生活和死亡的担忧。通过这样做,他们提供了正确的方式进行间接沟通的新见解,以进行相互尊重的沟通,产生和再生产期望的社会,每个人都可以在其中发挥最大的作用。在生命的生存过程中–令人恐惧的死亡表情中的脆弱甚至难以言喻的含义。从这一观点出发,作者认识到并重视Tuku的(间接)交流实践。具体来说,他们平均认为Tuku的间接沟通体现了正确的方式来谈论有关人们应该如何生活和死亡的担忧。通过这样做,他们提供了正确的方式进行间接沟通的新见解,以进行相互尊重的沟通,产生和再生产期望的社会,每个人都可以在其中发挥最大的作用。间接沟通体现了谈论与人们应如何生活和死亡有关的担忧的正确方法。通过这样做,他们提供了正确的方式进行间接沟通的新见解,以进行相互尊重的沟通,产生和再生产期望的社会,每个人都可以在其中发挥最大的作用。间接沟通体现了谈论与人们应如何生活和死亡有关的担忧的正确方法。通过这样做,他们提供了正确的方式进行间接沟通的新见解,以进行相互尊重的沟通,产生和再生产期望的社会,每个人都可以在其中发挥最大的作用。
