G R I F F I N University of Sussex ABSTRACT. No form of English popular protest has been subject to such close scholarly analysis as the eighteenth-century food riot, a response not just to the understanding that food riots comprised two out of every three crowd actions but also to the influence of E. P. Thompson’s seminal paper ‘The moral economy of the English crowd’. If the food riot is now understood as an event of consid- erable complexity, one assertion remains unchallenged: that riots remained a tradition of the towns, with agrarian society all but unaffected by food rioting. This article offers a new interpretation in which the rural is not just the backdrop to food protests but instead a locus and focus of collective actions over the marketing of provisions, with agricultural workers taking centre stage. It is shown that agricultural workers often took the lead in market town riots as well as well as in instigating riots in the countryside.

    Update 2004 the SHF Group Has Been Meeting Almost Fortnightly For

    Update 2004 The SHF group has been meeting almost fortnightly for over a year now. The group was established to counter the University’s proposals to close the Seale-Hayne Faculty and transfer all courses, staff and students to the Plymouth Campus. The update, in brief - is that we have not succeeded yet! Since its formation, SHF has attracted many concerned and notable individuals all of whom are questioning the decision to relocate Seale-Hayne’s activities to Plymouth. There has been a great deal of pressure on the chancellery of the University, mostly generated by SHF. The media (local media especially) have taken a keen interest throughout the year, as have Newton Abbot, Teignbridge and Devon County Councils. The group has provided a vehicle for questioning many of the reasons for relocation that have been given by the University, questions which have in the most part been met with a wall of silence. There appears to be very little information available about the relocation plans. This is enormously frustrating for everybody concerned; staff, students and planners, as well as the members of SHF. At the time of writing (March 04) the plans for closure are still being implemented. Many staff have already left Seale-Hayne and have not been replaced, putting huge pressures on the remaining staff. This fact alone suggests that SHF may not now be able to prevent the closure; the train is too far down the track to turn back. And there is also unease amongst students about the effect of the poor change management upon their higher education and course results.

  • A Study of Motivation and the Satisficing Approaches Used by Professional Craft Artists

    A Study of Motivation and the Satisficing Approaches Used by Professional Craft Artists

    A study of motivation and the satisficing approaches used by Professional Craft Artists Sophie Bennett PhD Thesis Aberystwyth University 2015 Vol 1 1 Abstract This research investigates the way in which Professional Craft Artists (Pro-C Artists) operating in the rural sub-regions of Wales achieve a balance between co-existing, paradoxical motives. Previous studies have identified the existence of both intrinsic and extrinsic motives within the visual arts (Hirschman, 1983; RIPPLE, 1998; Fillis & McAuley, 2005) in, for example, the need to both earn an income and gain self-fulfilment from creative work. Such circumstances are investigated in this study, where the settlement of a satisfactory outcome both in terms of the level of satisfaction and income received can be seen in the production of visual art and craft. Intrinsic and extrinsic motives are considered, alongside external socio-environmental factors including location, materials and networks, in order to investigate paradoxical motives in creative work. Quantitative questionnaires have been used to identify Pro-C Artists operating within Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Powys and select seventeen participants who took part in the research. Qualitative interviews are used to identify motives and satisficing approaches used in the visual arts sector. The findings from this research highlight the three main satisficing approaches that are used to manage conflicting tensions. These are presented in the concluding section to explain the significance of managing such tensions within the workplace, and also in relation to current rural strategies and creative support organisations, to consider how investment in the visual arts sector may contribute to rural localities. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Professor Steve McGuire and Dr Rachel Rahman for their support and guidance throughout this research.

In the run- up we have developed ‘cultural offerings’ with local community groups and co-curate a daytime festival programme. The big night arrives and, as in a medieval Cornish ‘plen-an-gwari’, we are ready to share an extraordinary, immersive, participative experience. We surround and involve the audience with epic theatrical storytelling of the highest quality. Our contemporary reworking of the ancient ‘Gogmagog’ legend reveals a timeless story of conflict, survivors and asylum- seeking. Notions about identity and belonging are challenged; distinctiveness and diversity are celebrated; community is reinforced. ! ! ! DID'WE'DO'THIS?' ! Yes! We designed and built a ‘wagon-train’ of set and scenery that encircled our audiences. We toured this ‘mobile plen-an-gwari’ to iconic locations from cliff-tops to castles across Cornwall. We hosted afternoon programmes of Cornish ‘cultural offerings’ with local community groups. We re-interpreted our ancient Cornish myth to create an epic piece of immersive theatre. We devised an audience experience that allowed each person to find their own level of involvement and participation.

  • A New Geography of Local Government in Cornwall

    A New Geography of Local Government in Cornwall

    Centre for Geography and Environmental Science A new geography of local government: The changing role of Town and Parish Councils in Cornwall, UK JUNE 2019 Jane Wills June 2 Localism and the role of Town and Parish Councils in Cornwall INTRODUCTION This report summarises research that has been undertaken as part of a larger project led by Locality, the national network of community organisations. It comprises material that forms part of phase two of the work undertaken for Locality’s Commission on the Future of Localism. The Commission has gathered evidence and ideas about efforts to engage local people in decision making and to strengthen community, and the challenges faced in realising these ambitions. Locality published the first round of findings in a report entitled People Power in early 2018 (Locality, 2018a). This report highlighted the need for greater thought and more focused action in relation to developing and supporting local institutions, fostering better relationships and building local capacity, in order to unlock the ‘power of community’. Building on the ideas developed in that report, phase two of the Commission’s work has involved action research with four local authorities (Cornwall, Southwark, Stevenage and Wigan) to explore the importance of geo-institutional inheritance and culture, local experiences, and the outcomes of efforts to foster localism. A report that draws on the learning from all four cases will be published late in 2019. This report focuses solely on the findings from the research undertaken with Town and Parish Councils (TPCs) in Cornwall. Conducted in late 2018 and early 2019, the author interviewed 27 individuals in 18 separate interviews, including representatives from 11 TPCs as well as the County Officer of Cornwall’s Association of Local Councils (CALC).
