Abstract

ABSTRACT The production of cotton in Lancashire formed an important part of Lancastrian identity, given the dominance of the industry in that area of the North. However, the decline of the industry during the early twentieth century, particularly during the inter-war period, saw the need to promote the industry to the nation. This article will examine how the image of the cotton industry was projected to a wider audience and, in so doing, sought to challenge long-held assumptions of the North. This will include highlighting the role of civic pride, pageantry, and the election of Cotton Queens, which ultimately showed how the sense of place and pride in the cotton industry was a central facet of living through industrial decline.

“兰开夏口音、兰开夏商品和兰开夏女孩”:两次世界大战期间棉花工业的地方认同和形象

摘要兰开夏郡的棉花生产构成了兰开夏人身份的重要组成部分，因为该行业在北方地区占据主导地位。然而，该行业在20世纪初的衰落，特别是在战争期间，表明有必要向全国推广该行业。这篇文章将探讨棉花行业的形象是如何被投射到更广泛的受众中的，并在这样做的过程中试图挑战北方长期以来的假设。这将包括强调公民自豪感、盛大场面和棉花皇后区选举的作用，这最终表明棉花行业的地位感和自豪感是如何度过工业衰退的核心方面。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
