  • The University of Exeter<Br>
    News from the Universities The University of Exeter Initiatives in local, regional and community history The University of Exeter now operates on two separate campuses, Streatham Campus in Exeter and, since 2005, Tremough Campus near Falmouth, Cornwall. History at Exeter has expanded considerably in the last decade, partly as a result of the opening of the Tremough campus. There are now 27 full-time staff based at Streatham and another 10 in Tremough, with research interests extending from early Medieval Britain to post- Communist Eastern Europe. In the last five years there has also been a considerable intensification of activity in local and regional history, as History has sought to forge links with local community groups, institutions and other charitable and business organisations. In many respects staff at Tremough have taken the lead in developing these connections. A strong civic dimension has been developed within the History cluster at Tremough, with significant engagement with the Cornish community at a variety of levels. This was based initially on the long-standing work of the Institute of Cornish Studies, part of the University of Exeter but part-funded by Cornwall Council, and located in Cornwall well before the establishment of the Cornwall Campus. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused on issues of identity in modern Cornwall, which it has explored through a variety of methods—for example, biography, demography and oral history—and which has led among other things to the establishment of strong links with the overseas Cornish diaspora and to the publication of the annual volume Cornish Studies (University of Exeter Press).

  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

  • Professor Philip Payton
    Professor Philip Payton Philip Payton is Professor of History at Flinders University and Emeritus Professor of Cornish and Australian Studies at the University of Exeter, UK. He has written extensively on Cornish and Australian topics, especially Cornish emigration and settlement in South Australia. His Making Moonta: The Invention of Australia’s Little Cornwall was published by University of Exeter Press in 2007, and followed by Regional Australia in the Great War: ‘The Boys from Old Kio’ (about Moonta and northern Yorke Peninsula in WWI) from the same publisher in 2012. Recent books include The Maritime History of Cornwall (ed. with Alston Kennerley and Helen Doe), University of Exeter Press, 2014, and Australia and the Great War, Robert Hale (London), 2015. Under the aegis of the Don Dunstan Foundation, he is currently completing Labor and the Radical Tradition in South Australia, shortly to be published by Wakefield Press. Place. Community and Identity: South Australia’s Cornish Mining Landscapes Paper Abstract The copper-mining landscapes of South Australia, principally those of Burra Burra in the mid- north and Moonta and environs on northern Yorke Peninsula, are today striking reminders of the State’s significant role in the mid-nineteenth century in the expansion of the international mining frontier and the attendant Cornish transnational identity. This paper illuminates the creation of the distinctive mining communities that inhabited these landscapes, first at Burra Burra in the 1840s and 1850s, and then on northern Yorke Peninsula in the 1860s and 1870s. It places them within the context of Cornwall’s ‘Great Emigration’, elucidating the myths of ‘Cousin Jack’ and ‘Cousin Jenny’, the stories the Cornish told about themselves, which became powerful signifiers of Cornish ethnic identity overseas.

  • The Celto-Cornish Movement and Folk Tradition in Cornwall
    Link to thesis website Chapter 5: Fakelore, revival and survival Chapter 5: Fakelore, revival and survival: The Celto - Cornish movement and folk tradition in Cornwall. Celticity is an inescapable element of contemporary Cornish Studies. This chapter shows that the impact it has had on the canon of musical material described as folk and on the process of oral folk tradition in Cornwall is as varied and debated as the very term Celtic itself. Cornwall has belonged to the Celtic imaginary throughout the evolution of the term since its genesis denoting a linguistic family in Lluyd’s Archaeologica Britannica 1707. Cornwall was represented at the first Celtic conference in St Brieuc, Brittany in 1867.1 Following a campaign by Cowethas Kelto-Kernuak, the Pan Celtic Congress accepted Cornwall as a member in 1904. This campaign culminated in the presentation of a paper by Henry Jenner to the Congress. 2 This paper sought to demonstrate that the Cornish Language was not extinct and therefore Cornwall met the criteria for membership i.e. it had a living Celtic Language. In twenty first century Cornwall, Celticity finds articulation in an increasing variety of forms from the politics of cultural identity, through archaeology to mysticism and spirituality as shown by Hale and Payton.3 This is also illustrated by the programme of papers presented at a symposium entitled “Celticity and Cornwall” held during the Lowender Peran festival in October 2009.4 Critiques of Celticity represented particularly by Hobsbawm et al and Chapman point to its constructed, and by implication, artificial nature. 5 Hale and Payton draw upon Sims-Williams and Colley to show that Celtic is used and understood today to broadly refer to the peoples, languages and cultures of Cornwall, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man and Scotland.

  • BRENDAN Mcmahon Tradition and Cultural Resistance in Cornwall
    Tradition and Cultural Resistance in Cornwall BRENDAN McMAHON Before the collapse of Roman rule in the fifth century, what is now Cornwall was part of the canton of Dumnonia, an administrative district which had its centre in Exeter.1 Out of the ruins of Roman Britain Dumnonia, comprising Cornwall, Devon and parts of Somerset, arose as one of several successor states resisting Saxon encroachment, though it was eventually to be absorbed by the kingdom of the West Saxons. Many of the Dumnonian people fled overseas to Brittany where their successors still speak Breton, a Celtic language similar to Cornish. The West Saxon King Ine completed the conquest of Devon in the eighth century and Exeter was taken from the Celts, though resistance continued and the English were checked at the Battle of Kehil in 721 or 722.2 The Cornish King Gereint died in battle and was commemorated by the poet Llywarch Hen.3 Later kings, usually described as “shadowy”, include Huwal, king of the west Welsh, who attended Athelstan’s great court in Exeter in 928 AD, as mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and “Ricatus”, known only from a single inscription at Penzance, which Philip Payton describes as “a semblance, an echo, an assertion of Cornish kingly independence”.4 Though Athelstan fixed the border at the Tamar he was not able finally to incorporate Cornwall into his new English state, and the “echo” continued to sound up to the eve of the Norman conquest in the far west. Although in ancient times Cornwall had trading links with the Mediterranean, it now ceased to exist as an independent political entity, though it did retain a separate cultural identity.

  • South Australia's Cornish Mining Landscapes
    Place, Community And Identity: South Australia’s Cornish Mining Landscapes Philip Payton Proceedings of: Place, Community and Identity: South Australia’s Cornish Mining Landscapes The copper-mining landscapes of South Australia – principally those of Burra Burra in the mid-North and Moonta and environs on northern Yorke Peninsula – are today striking reminders of the State’s significant role in the mid-nineteenth century in the expansion of the international mining frontier and the attendant Cornish transnational identity. They are best understood against the background of the nineteenth-century Cornish diaspora (Payton: 2005). The economic marginalisation that progressively overtook Cornwall as the nineteenth century wore on precipitated a widespread exodus, spurred on by the political discontent of the ‘Reforming Thirties’ and the near-starvation of the ‘Hungry Forties’, and complementing the strong demand that existed already for Cornish agriculturalists and (especially) skilled Cornish miners on the rapidly expanding frontiers of America, Australia and South Africa. This was the ‘Great Emigration’, a sustained movement of people (miners and others) that was to characterise the Cornish experience until the years before the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. A.C. Todd considered that it ‘seems reasonable to suppose that Cornwall lost at least a third of its population’ (Todd: 1967, 19) in the nineteenth century, while Dudley Baines offers some frightening statistics. Between 1861 and 1900, he says, Cornwall lost no less than 10.5 percent of its male population overseas and 7.0 percent to other counties (far and away the greatest percentage loss of any county), with a corresponding loss of 5.3 percent of the female population overseas and 7.1 percent to other counties.

But his historic victory, in fact, resulted from the inception and steady growth of a determined and well-organised local labor movement – one that owed much of its origins to the zeal of Cornish copper miners who settled in the Mid North and on Yorke Peninsula during the early decades of the colony. As Philip Payton explains in this meticulously researched and superbly told story, among the many cultural traditions the Cornish brought with them was a belief in education and self-improvement, a deep devotion to the Methodist faith and an oftentimes fiery attachment to radical politics. In their vii adopted home of South Australia, these traits helped create an embryonic trade union movement and, in turn, led to the formation of the forerunner of today’s Labor Party.

The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater & Performance and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrated its 25th year last August with “Schubert and His World.” The 2015 festival will be devoted to Carlos Chávez and the music of Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
