Abstract

For generations, weavers in the Scottish Highland diaspora communities in Cape Breton have passed down pattern drafts for ‘overshot’ designs embedded in folklore of migration from the Highlands and Islands. This traditional style of weaving is understood by practitioners to be a direct connection to Scotland and the weaving traditions there. This article looks at overshot textiles woven in Cape Breton, and their use as a form of place attachment for a diaspora community. The embedded history in the designs and their display in public areas of the home invited storytelling, reinforcing notions of respectability, community membership and identity.

“一定要融入一点历史”：布列塔尼角Overshot编织的怀旧和地方故事

几代人以来，布雷顿角苏格兰高地侨民社区的编织者一直在传承“套鞋”设计的图案草稿，这些图案植根于高地和岛屿移民的民间传说中。这种传统的编织风格被从业者理解为与苏格兰和那里的编织传统有着直接的联系。这篇文章着眼于布雷顿角编织的套鞋纺织品，以及它们作为散居社区的一种场所依恋形式的用途。设计中嵌入的历史及其在家中公共区域的展示吸引了人们讲述故事，强化了受人尊敬、社区成员和身份的观念。

期刊介绍： Textile History is an internationally recognised, peer reviewed journal and one of the leading publications in its field. It is viewed as an important outlet for current research. Published in the spring and autumn of each year, its remit has always been to facilitate the publication of high-quality research and discussion in all aspects of scholarship arising from the history of textiles and dress. Since its foundation the scope of the journal has been substantially expanded to include articles dealing with aspects of the cultural and social history of apparel and textiles, as well as issues arising from the exhibition, preservation and interpretation of historic textiles or clothing.
