Abstract

This paper defines, describes, and to some extent analyses the traditional Newfoundland "time," an informal {though structured) party, paying particular attention to relationships with other similar traditional occasions and to the spatial and social relationships of performers and audience. Résumé L'auteur définit, décrit et, dans une certaine mesure, analyse la "veillée" traditionnelle à Terre-Neuve — soirée sans façon bien que structurée — en prêtant une attention particulière aux rapports avec d'autres activités traditionnelles du même genre, ainsi qu'aux relations spatiales et sociales entre les exécutants et leur auditoire.
