Lullabies and Women's Subjectivity
Folkloric lullabies form an important part of the oral and linguistic literature of every culture and society. This section of oral literature, due to the close relationship with women, is a valuable resource for understanding women social and cultural status in traditional and pre-modern societies. This study, based on feminist approach, focused on gender, explores the context of Sabzevar's lullabies. The method of this research was qualitative approach of ethnography to access first hand data. The results of this article suggest that lullabies in traditional and patriarchal societies are among the few foundations for women to move in opposition to the dominant discourse of society. In folkloric lullabies, women are empowered to recognize their social status and their experience of living in patriarchal society and to reduce and relieve tensions and pressures as active subjects in the male-dominated discourses.
