  • Celtic Cornwall … Exploring Identity
    Celtic Cornwall (Exploring Identity) By Chris Dunkerley - Cornish Bard (Kevrenor), CyC Associate of the Institute of Cornish Studies, Cornish rep. to Celtic Council Of Australia (in NSW) Hon. Secretary of the Cornish Association of NSW INTRODUCTION CELTIC? CORNWALL? SOME ELEMENTS OF IDENTITY - Popular Consciousness - Constitution - History & Landscape - Mining - Language - Music, Song and Dance - Food - Some Customs - Gorseth KERNOW BYS VYKKEN ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Celtic Cornwall? Is this a title than can be given to my little ancestral land by the sea in north west Europe? There have been competing views about what constitutes Celtic Cornwall. As Amy Hale stated in an article; “During the course of the (Cornish) Revival too much time and energy has been spent justifying Cornwall’s Celticity!”…. One asks, why was there any doubt?” To which I am tempted to reply – ‘who cares? .. we know we are the Celtic Cornish so let’s get on with life!’ But given that you have probably come expecting a workshop on the very subject I had better restrain myself. In essence today I will seek to explore with you the dual nature of being Cornish - that of the context in which one exists, and a continuing Celtic identity which largely comes from within. Along the way I will heavily draw heavily on others who are more learned than me, look at some elements such as language, and we may also have some fun. It is worth looking first in depth at the two words that make up the title of this workshop. Celtic? Whenever and wherever the term Celtic is used, it seems to mean something different! There is part of me that says, ‘well that’s very Celtic’! I am sure we all hold a different picture in our minds.

  • Transmissions of Knowledge in Cornish Fishing Villages
    LIVELIHOODS, CRAFT AND HERITAGE: Transmissions of Knowledge in Cornish Fishing Villages Tim Martindale Thesis submitted to the Department of Anthropology of Goldsmiths, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2012. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of Goldsmiths, University of London, is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract In response to a sense of ‘crisis’ in global fisheries, contemporary policies and social science accounts have tended to approach fishery ‘problems’ in terms of models derived from biology and resource-economics. Through a study of the fishing industry in Cornwall, UK, this thesis contributes an alternative perspective – examining how knowledges and meanings attached to the work of fishing are reproduced in the context of wider social relations and economies. Processes of European rural re-structuring, increasing costs and restricted access, have recently exacerbated more long-term trends of decline in Cornish fisheries. However social change and new media for knowledge transmission also contribute to the remaking and reinvention of fishing livelihoods and ideologies.

T BEARE AND SON, PRINTERS, PENZANCE. ; PREFACE. Few Cornish people are probably aware how wide-spread still with us is the belief in charms and charmers, ghosts, and all other superstitions ; nor that there are witches in our county, shunned and dreaded by some who fear their supposed power to ill-wish those who offend them, and sought out by others who want by their aid to avert the evil eye, or by their incantations to remove the spells already cast on them and their cattle by an ill-wisher who has " overlooked " them. Folk-lore is an almost inexhaustible subject. There must be many charms in use here that have not come under my notice a few are too coarse to record, as are some of the tales. A book on folk-lore cannot in this century contain original matter; it must be compiled from various sources. I have when quoting from other writers given my authority, and to communi- cations from friends generally appended their names. To " One and All" I beg leave to tender my sincere thanks. M. A.

  • Ethnic Group Affiliation and Social Exclusion in Cornwall;
    Ethnic group affiliation and social exclusion in Cornwall; analysis, adjustment and extension of the 2001 England and Wales Census data. By Kerryn Michael Husk A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth In partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Science and Social Work Faculty of Health, Education and Society January 2012 Abstract This thesis provides a critical understanding of the size and relative position of the Cornish in Cornwall, a county in the south-west of the UK. Cornwall is a region which has experienced increased levels of disadvantage for a prolonged period of time. The indigenous people, whilst seeing a rise in their inclusion in ethnicity variables in the region, have remained under-researched in terms of their socio-economic position relative to the non-Cornish in the same geographic area. This thesis addresses this gap in the literature and represents the first in-depth examination of the group. The 2001 Census included an option to ‘write-in’ a Cornish ethnic identity, however whilst accurate in the responses it recorded the result was almost certainly an under- enumeration due to the lack of a dedicated tick-box selection. This thesis is a rigorous examination of the Cornish, starting with these data, estimating their size and socio- economic position (in terms of social exclusion) relative to non-Cornish individuals. Three stages of primary analysis sought to; analyse, adjust and extend the 2001 Census result to broadly estimate the size, links with exclusion and the causal processes behind these links. Firstly, an accurate picture of the size of the Cornish population was estimated using an innovative weighting strategy, developed to collate all other data referring to the Cornish and to derive weights for application to the raw Census data.
