翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Signifying monkey ： ウィキペディア英語版 Signifying monkey The Signifying Monkey is a character of African-American folklore that derives from the trickster figure of Yoruba mythology, Esu Elegbara. This character was transported with Africans to the Americas under the names of Exu, Echu-Elegua, Papa Legba, and Papa Le Bas. Esu and his variants all serve as messengers who mediated between the gods and men by means of tricks.〔Gates, Henry Louis, "The Blackness of Blackness: A Critique on the Sign and the Signifying Monkey", in Julie Rivkin & Michael Ryan (eds), ''Literary Theory: An Anthology'', Blackwell, 1998, p. 988.〕 The Signifying Monkey is “distinctly Afro-American” but is thought to derive from Yoruban mythology, which depicts Echu-Elegua with a monkey at his side.〔Gates, "The Blackness of Blackness", in Rivkin & Ryan (1998), p. 989.〕 Numerous songs and narratives concern the Signifying Monkey and his interactions with his friends, the Lion and the Elephant.〔For example, Cab Calloway's "The Jungle King (You Ain't Done a Doggone Thing)" (Mort Dixon, 1947), and Oscar Brown Jr.'s "The Signifying Monkey".〕 In general the stories depict the Signifying Monkey insulting the Lion, but claiming that he is only repeating the Elephant’s words. The Lion then confronts the Elephant, who soundly beats the Lion. The Lion later comes to realize that the Monkey has been signifyin(g) and has duped him and returns angrily.〔Myers, D. G. “Signifying Nothing”. ''New Criterion'' 8 (1990): 61.〕 "The Signifying Monkey" is a classic routine originally on a comedy album by Rudy Ray Moore. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Signifying monkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
