| Résumé : | This paper describes the Ulster-Scots Musical Revival which started in the late 1990s, and argues that neither Hobsbawn and Ranger's conception of "invented tradition" nor Rosenberg's theorisation of folk revivals as appropriations of tradition are adequate to understand this ongoing musical and social movement. By comparing the Ulster-Scots revival with earlier "Irish traditional music" revivals, I will argue that the Ulster-Scots movement is significantly different both from Irish revivals and from the American folk revivals theorised in Rosenberg's volume, in that it is not the appropriation of a working-class music by a middle-class constituency, but a deliberate transformation of tradition undertaken by members of the originating communities |
