    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.

    It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”

    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

Jako autorka uvedené bakalářské práce dále prohlašuji, že jsem v souvislosti s jejím vytvořením neporušila autorská práva třetích osob. V Praze dne 13.3.2014 ___________________________ Poděkování Ráda bych touto cestou poděkovala doc. Ing. PhDr. Petru Kokaislovi, Ph.D, za poskytnuté rady, dále Garrymu Tregidgadovi a dalším informátorům, kteří nám při výzkumu ochotně pomáhali a také Petru Mikšíčkovi, za jeho cenné rady při střihu dokumentu. Vliv nacionalismu na znovuobnovení kulturního povědomí v Cornwallu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The influence of nationalism on cultural revival in Cornwall Souhrn Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá situací menšiny na území hrabství Cornwall, kde probíhá revitalizace původní keltské kultury. Cornwall, nejjižnější cíp Velké Británie, je jednou ze šesti oficiálně uznaných keltských oblastí spolu se Skotskem, Irskem, ostrovem Mann, Walesem a Bretaní. Tato menšina se v posledních čtyřiceti letech rozrůstá a dostává se do povědomí široké veřejnosti a to především díky vzrůstajícímu počtu mluvčích znovuobnoveného keltského jazyka, kornštině. Stejně jako u dalších minorit, tak i v Cornwallu existuje místní nacionalismus, který je hnací silou změn. Cornwallská identita, ke které se k roku 2011 hlásí necelých 14% obyvatel, je definována nejen jazykem, ale i dalšími kulturními aspekty. Protože tato kulturní revitalizace probíhá až od druhé poloviny minulého století, klade si práce za úkol zjistit a popsat klíčové události, které daly hnutí do pohybu.

The most memo- rable for this magazine/bar owner were the Warped Tour and Wakestock, where such bands as Bad Religion, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Closet Monster, The Trews and Crowned King had audiences in mosh-pit frenzies. At Wakestock, in Wasaga Beach, Ont., Gasoline, Fox Racing, and Bluenotes rocked so hard at their two-day private cottage party that local authorities shut down the stage after Magneta Lane and Flashlight Brown. Poor Moneen didn't get to crush the eardrums of the drunken revellers. That was day one! Day two was an even bigger party with the live music again shut down. The Reason, Moneen and Crowned King owned the patio until Alexisonfire and their crew rolled into party.
