It is therefore unsurprising that historians have failed to discover unambiguous regional identities in the past. However, this article investigates one possible exception in a case study of a peripheral English region. Adopting concepts of narrative, discourse and rhetoric, it examines the discursive moments and rhetorical strategies of spatial identity in nineteenth-century Cornwall. Evidence of a tentative regionalism is marshalled in order to reflect on the usefulness of social scientific approaches to discourse and rhetoric for understanding a specific place identity of late nineteenth-century England. While they provide a handy toolkit for the regional historian they also hint at the limits as well as the possibilities of applying discourse analysis to the past and require supplementing with the concepts of power and context.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"11 1","pages":"59 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2016.1252513","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60021349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case of Hawick suggests that this was no less true of the post-war period: as late as 1972, the attitudes of employers and workers alike were shaped by a hegemonic tradition of civic pride and deference, anchoring the town's experience of deindustrialisation in a deeply local history. Focusing on the local knitwear workers' strike of that year, this article explores how civic identity and traditions of community cohesion shaped the town's experience of globalisation and economic decline, arguing that this moment of crisis should be read as a renegotiation of traditional norms, rather than their wholesale replacement. Protest organised along class lines, far from indicating a potent class consciousness, was simply a bargaining chip in that renegotiation.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"59 1","pages":"75 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2016.1252514","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60021390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such the article tempers the dominant narrative that emphasizes only the material enrichment of the clergy at enclosure, and sees the social and cultural gulf this opened up between the clergy and their parishioners as a potent source of rural anticlericalism.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"6 1","pages":"17 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2016.1182387","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60021258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
