dc.description.abstractThe dirge is poetry performed within the context of funeral and memorial ceremonies. This study deals with the performers of dirges among the Urhobo of the Niger-Delta of Nigeria. The performance of the poetry is done by both men and women and each category has distinct role to play. The dirge is all art that is essentially literary and utilitarian and there are significant features of performance which make the dirge unique in the literary situation of the Urhobo. Although the deceased is the focal point of most of the dirges, the artistry of mourners/performers is as evident as insights into the people's way of life. Performers enact various styles in delivering the dirge. The purpose of this paper is to examine the various performative categories ill the process of enacting the dirge.en_US
