Περίληψη

Το Βασιλικό Ναυτικό αποτέλεσε θεμέλιο λίθο της επέκτασης της Βρετανικής Αυτοκρατορίας, καθώς ενίσχυσε την κυριαρχία της στη θάλασσα, ενώ παράλληλα «έθρεψε» τη φαντασία των υπηκόων της. Εξετάζοντας τις μπαλάντες, ένα δημοφιλές μέσο διασκέδασης και διάδοσης της πληροφορίας της εποχής, σκοπός του άρθρου είναι να διακρίνει και να αναδείξει τις στερεοτυπικές απεικονίσεις του ναυτικού κόσμου. Εστιάζοντας στην περίπτωση του Μπρίστολ, και συγκεκριμένα σε μπαλάντες με σημείο αναφοράς τους αυτό, αποσκοπεί να διαχωρίσει τις κατηγορίες «ναυτικών» που εμφανίζονται, τις ιεραρχίες που προβάλλονται και τις ιδεολογίες που προωθούν. Υπό τις κοινωνικο-πολιτισμικές διαστάσεις της βρετανικής αυτοκρατορικής ιδεολογίας και των δικτύων διοχέτευσης της μουσικής αυτής, η μελέτη αυτή αποπειράται να αναδείξει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι ναυτικές μπαλάντες μπορούν να αποτελέσουν «πολιτιστικό» συνδετικό κρίκο μεταξύ του τοπικού στοιχείου και της αυτοκρατορικής-εθνικής ταυτότητας.
