Book excerpt: Is Cornish Studies just a fun subject? Or does it have a respectable academic presence? In this book Bernard Deacon, formerly Senior Lecturer in Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter's Institute of Cornish Studies, ponders on the theory and practice of Cornish Studies. The first three chapters bring together three articles originally published in the early 2000s. These explored the possibilities and problems involved in devising a distinct methodology for Cornish Studies. Chapter 1 looks at the role of spatial levels when studying Cornwall. Chapter 2 is a critical analysis of the New Cornish Studies. Chapter 3 proposed using critical discourse analysis as a method particularly suitable for Cornish Studies specialists. Postscripts have been added to each chapter looking back on that project with the luxury of hindsight. This part is completed by Chapter 4, which is an extended, up-to-date critical review of the academic literature on Cornwall since 2002. The second part of the book moves on to practical examples of a Cornish Studies approach. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on early nineteenth century Cornwall. The first of these makes use of microhistory to explore the conditions of underground and surface workers at Cornish mines in 1841, based on Charles Barham's contemporary parliamentary report. It asks how far such a source can bring us closer to understanding the lives of our predecessors. Chapter 6 is a major re-assessment of regional Chartism. Chartism has traditionally been seen as having little influence in Cornwall but this chapter argues a vigorous, if relatively small, band of Chartists were active in the towns of west Cornwall throughout the 1840s. It concludes that, far from being insignificant, Chartism in Cornwall maintained a more effective presence than in most of rural southern England. The final two essays focus on the discourse of Cornishness. The first homes in on two nineteenth century campaigns for special treatment for Cornwall. The unjustly forgotten Cornish Sunday Closing campaign of 1881-1883, which garnered impressive support, was ultimately unsuccessful, unlike the earlier campaign for a Cornish diocese separate from Exeter. Both campaigns made use of historical and 'Celtic' arguments to win support. However, the Sunday Closing campaign met its nemesis in the power of a discourse of Englishness in Cornwall. The chapter reveals the discourse of Cornishness that lay at the heart of these campaigns and the lessons they hold for twenty-first century campaigners for Cornish recognition. Issues of discourse are also the focus of the final chapter. This offers a long-overdue comparative academic analysis of Cornwall's nationalist party MK in the context of work on European ethnoregionalism. It identifies a unique combination of longevity yet electoral marginality and reviews an assortment of reasons for this, ranging from structural and institutional barriers to the ideology and organisation of the party.

Book Synopsis Studies in Traditional Cornish by : Nicholas Williams
Download or read book Studies in Traditional Cornish written by Nicholas Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together in one convenient volume eight articles by Professor Nicholas Williams on Traditional Cornish. They include "I-affection in Breton and Cornish" (2007), "The Cornish englyn" (2007), "The preterite in Cornish" (2010), "Some Cornish plurals" (2011), "Adjectival and adverbial prefixes in Cornish" (2013), "'If' in Cornish" (2014), "Reflexive verbs in Cornish" (2014), and "Auxiliary verbs in Cornish" (2016). These are presented in eight chapters; seven deal with various aspects of the historical phonology, morphology and syntax of traditional Cornish. One article examines the Cornish form of the englyn, a three-lined stanza common to both Cornish and Welsh. The first five of the chapters originally appeared as articles in "Cornish Studies." Two further chapters were first given as short papers at the Skians conferences of 2014 and 2015 respectively. The last chapter of the book discusses the auxiliary verbs of traditional Cornish and has not been published hitherto. Because the sections below were written at different times and for varying purposes, there is a certain degree of overlap in their subject-matter. Cornish lacks native speakers, thus revivalists have no one whose pronunciation or idiom can serve as a model for their own speech. It is therefore of vital importance that we who attempt to use revived Cornish should be as familiar as is possible with the traditional language as it survives in the Middle and Late Cornish texts. Indeed reading those texts carefully can be both most instructive. "Studies in Traditional Cornish" is a companion volume to four other works on similar topics: "Cornish Today," "Towards Authentic Cornish," "Writings on Revived Cornish," and "Form and Content in Revived Cornish."
Book Synopsis Industrial Celts by : Bernard Deacon
Download or read book Industrial Celts written by Bernard Deacon and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Celts explains how Cornwall's early industrialisation produced a unique society and a distinct regional culture. Socially, Cornwall became home to a dispersed paternalist society. In economic terms, it was based on mining and merchant capitalism. Culturally, it was dominated by Methodism. The twin symbols of mining and Methodism became central to a sense of Cornishness, encapsulated in the popular dialect literature that flourished in the mid-1800s. At the same time, identification of the Cornish as Celts became more widespread. That self-description had been recognised by Cornish historians as early as the 1700s and did not have to await either the later 'Cornish Revival' or romantic, metropolitan dreamers. Moreover, early de-industrialisation and mass emigration meant that Cornwall's rural industrial economy and society retained material differences well into the twentieth century. However, the sense of identity produced by its industrialisation had its limits and proved incapable of competing with more powerful territorial discourses. Industrial Celts, a revised and more accessible version of Bernard Deacon's doctoral thesis, restores the importance of Cornwall's industrial period to the modern sense of Cornishness and is an essential addition to the corpus of scholarly work on Cornwall's past.

Book Synopsis Qualitative Research for Development by : Morten Skovdal
Download or read book Qualitative Research for Development written by Morten Skovdal and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we know whether our development programmes are reducing poverty and empowering the most vulnerable people? What evidence do we have to support our theory of change? Qualitative research for development aims to build the research capacity of development practitioners so that their work benefits from the significant contributions offered by solid qualitative research. The book guides development practitioners through the process of planning, conducting and reporting on a qualitative study, whilst simultaneously highlighting the role of qualitative research in improving the impact, quality and accountability of development programmes. It covers in detail data collection methods such as Participatory Learning and Action, Photovoice, Individual Interviews, Focus Group Discussions and Observations. It demystifies qualitative research and builds the skills and confidence of development practitioners to use qualitative methods authoritatively, and to communicate findings to different audiences. The book draws on considerable hands-on experience and incorporates case studies from Save the Children and other international organizations to illustrate 'good practice'. To facilitate learning, all the chapters include a series of practical activities that can help the reader to engage actively with the material. This book is an indispensable learning tool for all development practitioners within NGOs and government departments, as well as researchers and students engaged with applied qualitative research in the context of development.
