  • Illuminating a Resilient Rural Culture in Twentieth Century Y Fro Gymraeg Using Bourdieu’S Bearn
    Illuminating a Resilient Rural Culture in Twentieth Century Y Fro Gymraeg Using Bourdieu’s Bearn Sally Baker, Brian J. Brown* and Emyr Williams Abstract This article uses Bourdieu’s analysis of peasant life in the Bearn to illuminate a changing but resilient rural culture in mid-twentieth century Wales. Rather than finding their culture and language eroded by economic and social change, Welsh speaking partici- pants in this biographical study used the education system to build upon their existing cultural capital previously cultivated through religious and informal civic institutions. A distinctive habitus enabled exchange of locally acquired cultural capital for the symbolic capital of qualifications, in the face of declines in the farming and quarrying industries and consequent loss of employment opportunities. Anglicising influences of upward social mobility were counteracted by Welsh language activism, combined with a sense that Wales was heir to a tradition of Bards and scholars. This helped maintain the illusio that ‘Welsh culture’ was a game worth playing. Unlike peasant life in the Bearn, this story is of transformation rather than demise. Introduction his article addresses the question of why some language and cultural commu- T nities die and others grow in strength and vitality. Wales and the Welsh language are often identified as exemplars of the latter (Coupland et al. 2006), in that they have retained vitality and dynamism despite a long and acrimonious history of minoritisation and Anglicisation (Williams 1990, 2000; Jenkins 1997). Whilst the relative vitality of Welsh is well documented, questions remain regarding subjective orientations to the language and their origins which, despite meticulous historical scholarship, are still mysterious.

  • 1 Introduction 2 D. Gwenallt Jones: Plasau'r Brenin (1934)
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. Padraic Colum (1921) The Golden Fleece and the heroes who lived before Achilles (New York: Macmillan). 2 D. Gwenallt Jones: Plasau’r Brenin (1934) and ‘Dartmoor’ (1941) 1. Perhaps 2009. From: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/a/v/ Huw-T-Davies/BOOK-0001/0001-0001.html 2. This is not to suggest that Gwenallt suffered, in a clinical sense, from disso- ciative personality, or identity, disorder (e.g., Haddock, 2001). 3. These poems were published in T. Gwynn Jones’ 1934 collection Caniadau, having been previously published in various outlets. 4. /nwyd/, meaning ‘passion’, is the word in T. Gwynn Jones 1934 version, / hoff/ means ‘fond’ or ‘dear’. 5. ‘Gwahoddiad’ is popularly referred to by the first line of its chorus ‘Arglwydd, dyma fi’ [Lord , here I am]. Also, it is popularly assumed to be an original Welsh language hymn but it is, in fact, a translation by the Rev. John Roberts (bardic name ‘Ieuan Gwyllt’ – John of the Wild) of the English hymn ‘I Hear Thy Welcome Voice’ by Lewis Hartsough (1872). 6. The sources of this history are mostly conscientious objectors who were guided by religious principle and pacifism, in contrast to Gwenallt. The work is very sympathetic towards them. 3 Saunders Lewis: Buchedd Garmon (1937) 1. Note that a common alternative spelling in English is ‘Lleyn’. 2. An English translation of the lecture ‘Tynged yr Iaith’ [The Fate of the Language] is reproduced in Jones and Thomas (1973: 127–141). 3. Elis-Thomas is quoted on the back cover of Everything Must Change.
