- 요약The Shakers are monastic Christian sect that separate themselves from the World. The last active Shaker community is Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester, Maine. There, Brother Arnold Hadd tells "monastic memories," a generic system of vernacular history that includes oral and written memories about Shaker founders and local Shakers. Some monastic memories exemplify ideals and patterns to live by, such as narratives about the lives and teachings of influential leaders. Others depict local Shakers' imperfect efforts at emulating those religious ideals.My dissertation is a study of Brother Arnold's repertoire. He has been a Shaker for forty-seven years and has a large repertoire of monastic memories which he learned from those who grew up "in the Life" and at a time when Shakerism had more followers. I understand Shaker storytelling as social action and consider how Shakers use monastic memory to enculturate converts, bind group through a collective history and ancestral lineage, and regulate behavior.While told situationally, Brother Arnold emphasizes their existential significance. Shakers' continual failures, evidenced in stories about their actions and interactions, teach a lesson on perseverance as individuals struggle to emulate Jesus and the Founders by converting themselves in daily practice based on communal and religious ideals. Much has been written on Shakerism-its history, religious doctrine, and material culture-within the American imaginary. However, studies centering the Shakers' sense of themselves, their constructions of the past and of Shaker selves, are largely absent from current scholarship. To Shakers, faith is learned through experience and refined in the struggle towards perfection and against the World. As such, Shakerism cannot be described through rote doctrine or academic history but is most fully enacted in the relationships between those living "the Life." These interactions and relationships are documented in Shaker monastic memories.
