They are a means of communicating with fellow workers and posterity and passing on the traditional culture of the building trade. This article investigates a collection of graffiti created by early nineteenth-century plumbers. It explores how and why these marks were made -in celebration of tradesmen's skills - and deduces their meanings, with particular relevance to the noxious and dangerous trade of plumbing. It analyses how these values are reflected in other surviving English plumbers’ material culture and outlines the wider use of working-class graffiti.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41320207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The graffiti, along with other features such as plumbers’ plaques, was the subject of archaeological recording in 2013. This paper discusses the form of the graffiti, and what information it preserves about the spiritual, folk and community beliefs of those who made it.

The book is peppered with little gems of information, and I read with particular interest that the great architect brothers, Robert and John Adam, were shareholders in the well-known Carron Iron Company of Falkirk. The company had brought workers from Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, to share their expertise in decorative cast iron. The Adam brothers being shareholders makes perfect sense when one considers the influence they had over the development of the styles and commissions in the growing number of stylish houses in Scotland. So many fireplaces were required, not to mention door furniture! In this book, Nenadic’s hypothesis is scrutinized and she concludes that, as the nineteenth century turned into the twentieth, traditional skills of the craftworkers were still thriving alongside factory production, as was the case in England and France. She had also detected similar patterns in Europe and Asia, not least as a growing tourism market kept many craftworkers in business.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42692480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the makers of agricultural implements and machines in Lanarkshire, especially outside Glasgow, as innovators and leaders in the trade. It looks at their character, why they were innovative and the implements and machines they were renowned for.

{"title":"Fantastic changelings: liminality and narrative technique in Irish changeling tales","authors":"Audrey Robitaillié","doi":"10.1080/04308778.2023.2194787","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/04308778.2023.2194787","url":null,"abstract":"Folk beliefs around changelings, iarlaisí in Irish, are numerous in Ireland: fairies would take humans away to the Otherworld, while leaving a substitute in place of the stolen person. A number of studies have been carried out that highlight the aetiological origins of changeling folklore: these narratives would rationalize otherwise inexplicable disabilities and illnesses, such as failure to thrive. Despite the extensive scholarship on this aspect of folk belief and that ‘it may seem there is little left to add’ according to Linda-May Ballard, analysis of changeling tales has taught us that further insights can still be found within them. Consequently, this study analyses changeling narratives in Irish folklore, both in English and in Irish, and focuses on liminality in the Irish changeling tradition as a way to achieve such new understandings. The accounts under examination here focus on those in which the family brutally gets rid of the changeling. I exclude stories in which the fairy creature demonstrates extraordinary capacities for music or speech for example. Simply put, this enquiry examines narratives featuring motif F321.1.4, paying particular attention to the way the fairy interloper is driven out, according to Stith Thompson’s classification. Liminality, the quality of something which is situated, to take up Victor Turner's phrase, ‘betwixt and between’ two spaces or states, physical or metaphorical, is central to changeling tales. The term, popularised by Arnold Van Gennep in his ethnographical study The Rites of Passage, designates the character of that which belongs to these thresholds, be they a dividing line or a border space, and of that which therefore holds characteristics of both worlds on either side of it. The liminality of these accounts, expressed through their characters, settings and plots is also studied through its relationship with the narrative technique of the fantastic. Indeed, the changelings, half-human, half-fairy, are embodiments of liminality in the narratives. Yet the characters are not the only ones to be found on the threshold between worlds. Places, times and even narrative technique similarly possess an in-between dimension. This study centres specifically on the fantastic, a process that blurs the boundaries between the real and the imagined, theorized by Tzvetan Todorov amongst others, as it","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42692298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Festivals are closely linked to an indigenous group’s occupations, such as cultivation, and mark a ritual calendar that directs the dietary behaviour of the community. This paper examines the festivals and food cultures of indigenous groups living in six villages in Telangana, India, using participatory qualitative methods such as focus group discussions and the mapping of seasonal calendars. There are seventy-nine unique festivals, out of which 40% (32) celebrate farm activities such as sowing and harvesting of crops, or the worship of nature and animals. Differences in dietary behaviours during festivals follow gender, age, and economic status. An examination of the traditional food culture of indigenous communities guided by festivals and traditions can provide insights relevant to the promotion of goals leading to sustainable food security in India.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44201465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
