STUDIES IN lEISH CKANIOLOGY: THE ARAN ISLANDS, CO. GALWAY.* By PROFESSOR A. C. HADDON. [Eead December 12, 1892.] The following is the first of a series of communications which I pro- pose to make to the Academy on Irish Craniology. It is a remarkable fact that there is scarcely an obscure people on the face of the globe about whom we have less anthropographical information than we have of the Irish. Three skulls from Ireland are described by Davis and Thumam in the “Crania Britannica” (1856-65); six by J. Aitken Meigs in his ‘ ‘ Catalogue of Human Crania in the Collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia ” two by J. Van der Hoeven (1857) ; in his “ Catalogus craniorum diversarum gentium” (1860); thirty- eight (more or less fragmentary), and five casts by J. Barnard Davis in the “Thesaurus craniorum” (1867), besides a few others which I shall refer to on a future occasion. Quite recently Dr. W. Frazer has measured a number of Irish skulls. “ A Contribution to Irish Anthropology,” Jour. Roy. Soc. Antiquarians of Ireland, I. (5), 1891, p. 391.

  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.
