    eSharp Issue 6:2 Identity and Marginality Regressive History and the Rights of Welsh Speakers: Does History Matter? Gwenllian Lansdown ( Cardiff University) Researchers interested in questions of culture and identity are often compelled to investigate and research the historical processes which have contributed to contemporary understandings of who they are and of their place in the world. Certainly, the research which I have undertaken on Welsh identity, liberalism and multiculturalism has inevitably led me to consider the ways in which historical constructions of identity are mediated and understood. For instance, in the case of linguistic identity, it could be argued that the political and philosophical debate on the place of the Welsh language in Wales would be almost impossible to grasp without reference to the historical trajectory which has led to the language's current status.1 But where does that history begin? Who writes history? How far back does one go in attempting to understand the relationship between past and present? These questions are particularly important when considering the tendency to fetishize and sentimentalize the past, particularly so when political discussions take place. Indeed, I have been at pains to avoid the glorification of the past in my work. I have deliberately avoided notions of a 1 Both English and Welsh have de facto official status as public languages in Wales since the Welsh Language Act 1993. The 1993 Act fully repealed the linguistic aspect of the 1536 Act which officially marginalized the Welsh language from public life – see note 11 below. For those who are unfamiliar with the language's current status this is an extract taken from the most recent (2001) Census data on-line: ‘Over a fifth (21 per cent) of the population of Wales said they could speak Welsh in the 2001 Census with similar proportions able to read (20 per cent) and write (18 per cent) Welsh.

  • Turning Worry Into Hope
    TURNING WORRY INTO HOPE Report from the Academi Hywel Teifi conference A Worry or an Opportunity: Welsh in the “New Normal” 10 March 2021 Report prepared by: Osian Rhys, Gwenno Ffrancon and Lynsey Thomas TURNING WORRY INTO HOPE Introduction As the staff at Swansea University’s Academi Hywel It was therefore even more timely for us to consider the question ‘to what extent Teifi started discussing the idea of organising can we think optimistically about the Welsh language in the overwhelming context this conference in autumn 2020, we all shared of the pandemic?’ by the time of the conference in March 2021, a year on from the a feeling of curiosity, almost excitement, first lockdown. We were keen to explore the extent to which COVID-19 has opened about how the experiences we had just lived up new opportunities for those of us who actually live, work and study through the through were likely to affect the future of the medium of Welsh. To what extent has COVID-19 opened up new opportunities Welsh language. We saw many possibilities for people to engage with the Welsh language, or has it been snatched away as well as significant challenges. from people’s grasp and their ability to practise it restricted? Will our fears for the Welsh language be even greater from now on? Although society had faced strict measures and restrictions and an unacceptable number I would like to think that things are not all bad. Although our experiences with of deaths from the virus, the horrific reality of the COVID-19 have highlighted the increasing challenges, some solutions to certain second wave of winter 2020-21 had not yet struck.
