DI, CURZIO ANGELA. « La cornice della Transavanguardia : fenomenologia della cornice nelle opere di Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria e Paladino ». Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata", 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2108/1303.
Texte intégralRésumé :
La ricerca analizza funzione e fenomenologia della cornice nelle opere della Transavanguardia italiana. Il tema nasce dall’osservazione del rilevante ruolo svolto dalla cornice, o da motivi posti al limite della tela che ne rielaborano in termini più astratti o frammentari la figura, nei dipinti del gruppo formato e teorizzato dal critico d’arte Achille Bonito Oliva nel 1979. Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria e Paladino tornano al quadro e dunque alla “cornice” nel contesto post-modern di un recupero del linguaggio figurativo e della pratica pittorica.
La ricerca mostra con ampiezza di documentazione fotografica i diversi modi e le diverse idee secondo cui i transavanguardisti includono nuovamente la cornice all’interno delle loro opere. A sostegno della ricerca si è svolta una ricognizione storica sulla cornice, articolata in tre parti. La prima, dallo sviluppo più rapido, parte dal primo esempio di cornice che risale al 3000 a.C. e giunge fino al XVIII secolo. La seconda, più particolareggiata, ha per oggetto esempi significativi sul tema “cornice del dipinto” in opere di importanti artisti a cavallo tra XIX e XX secolo. La terza affronta i nuovi aspetti in cui la “cornice” si presenta alla metà del novecento con l’Espressionismo Astratto, il New Dada, la Pop Art e le tendenze concettuali, aspetti ai quali i transavanguardisti appaiono legati.
Sull’importanza del recupero transavanguardista della cornice ha svolto una riflessione lo stesso teorico del movimento, Achille Bonito Oliva, in un colloquio avuto con me che costituisce, nell’ambito della ricerca, un’occasione preziosa di approfondimento.
Concludono questo studio due capitoli dedicati a casi di attenzione particolare attribuita alla cornice. Il primo, relativo a due collezioni private italiane, nelle quali è curato il rapporto tra la cornice antica e l’opera contemporanea; il secondo, nel quale si presenta l’attività artistica dell’austriaco Herbert Szusich, le cui opere consistono in cornici.This dissertation focuses on the function and the phenomenology of the Italian Trans-avantgarde’s frame-works. Such evaluation has been performed considering the interesting role given to the frame-work or to any elements laying around the picture which have revised the figure in abstract or fragmentary terms within the works of the group both formed and thought by the critic Achille Bonito Oliva in 1979. Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Maria and Paladino have come back to the picture and re-used the picture-frame within their post-modern context of a return towards the figurative language and the painting skill. Thanks to a wide range of pictures, our research shows the different ways and the contrasting ideas according to each Trans-avantgarde artist’s use of the frame-work within his works. To support our research, a deep historical background on the frame-work has been taken into account. This historical approach has been divided into three parts. The first part shows the earliest development of the frame-work starting from 3000 B.C. to XVIII century. The second part, more detailed than the previous one, focuses on the important theme of the “picture-frame” in some artists’ works of the XIX and XX centuries. The third part is about the new aspects of the “frame-work” in the second half of the XIX century that involves the Abstract Expressionism, the New Dada, the Pop Art and other conceptual tendencies of the century to which the Trans-avangardists seem to be linked. On the importance of the return to the frame-work by the Trans-avantgarde, the theorist of the Italian movement Bonito Oliva has given his own idea in an exclusive interview with me. Within the research, this interview has represented a precious possibility to deep-in the main topic. Two more chapters dedicated to some particular case study have been written in the final part of our research. The first chapter is about two Italian private collections and their focus on the relationship between a contemporary work of art framed within an old frame-work; the second chapter stresses the artistic production of an Austrian author Herbert Szusich whose works are frame-works.

ROCCHI, FRANCESCA. « La risposta sanzionatoria e il potere discrezionale del giudice : con particolare riferimento al ruolo e al significato della recidiva nella teoria della pena ». Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata", 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/2108/1090.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Nonostante la maggior parte degli interpreti e delle Commissioni ministeriali istituite negli ultimi decenni per riformare il codice penale abbiano rintracciato nell’eccessivo potere discrezionale del giudice nella commisurazione della pena la principale ragione dell’ineffettività del sistema sanzionatorio italiano, la ricerca sviluppata in questa tesi, anche a livello comparatistico, ha invece individuato due diverse ragioni di tipo tecnico giuridico alla base della crisi della certezza della pena e dell’eccessivo divario tra pena in astratto e pena in concreto.
La prima consiste nell’inadeguatezza delle pene edittali, sia a livello qualitativo che quantitativo. La struttura carcerocentrica del sistema punitivo italiano sembra, infatti, ormai anacronistica e contrastante con le attuali tendenze dei più moderni sistemi penali, promosse anche dalla comunità scientifica internazionale, per evitare gli effetti negativi e controproducenti della pena detentiva, soprattutto se di breve durata. Dal punto di vista quantitativo, inoltre, il minimo ed il massimo edittale, sono spesso così sproporzionati rispetto all’attuale disvalore astratto del reato, che il giudice è costretto ad un ruolo di supplenza per adeguare la determinazione legale della pena ai principi costituzionali di uguaglianza, rieducazione e proporzione, così come gli viene ormai costantemente richiesto anche dalla stessa Corte Costituzionale.
La seconda causa, invece, risiede nell’abuso e nell’ipertrofia del sistema delle circostanze del reato che, a seguito delle numerose novelle riformatrici che ne hanno stravolto complessivamente la disciplina e la fisionomia, hanno mutato la loro originaria funzione di cause di modificazione legale della pena, finalizzate appunto a restringere la discrezionalità commisurativa giudiziale.
Emblematica perciò appare la vicenda normativa dell’istituto della recidiva, che, pur essendo stata riformata di recente dal legislatore in senso particolarmente repressivo, sull’esempio di altri ordinamenti europei e delle leggi americane dei “three strikes”, avendo mantenuto la sua veste giuridica di circostanza aggravante del reato ha comportato paradossalmente un ampliamento del potere discrezionale del giudice, rendendo di fatto ancor meno effettiva la risposta sanzionatoria.
La recente riforma del sistema sanzionatorio operata dalla l. del 251 del 2005, viene perciò criticata perché, al di là del valore repressivo simbolico che ha voluto attribuire alla recidiva, non ha realmente inciso sul fondamento di questo istituto lasciando quindi sempre ai giudici la decisione sulla sua applicabilità concreta, senza tentare altre soluzioni politico criminali, nel quadro di un sistema sanzionatorio maggiormente differenziato, sia per tipologia di reati che di autori, di per sé dunque incompatibile con una recidiva fondata sul solo innalzamento della pena in astratto, in senso ancora generico e perpetuo.While most authors and ministerial committees, established in recent decades to reform the penal code, have found in the wide discretionary power of the judge over criminal sentencing the main reason of the penalties ineffectiveness of Italian system, the research, developed in this dissertation, through also a comparative analysis, has identified two legal basis of the current crisis of the punishment ‘s certainty and of the excessive gap between penalty and punishment in abstract and in concrete. The first reason consists in the inadequacy of statutory penalties, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The structure of the Italian penal system, based only on custodial sanctions, seems nowadays, in fact, anachronistic and contrary to current trends in modern criminal justice systems, also promoted by the international scientific community to avoid the negative and counterproductive effects of imprisonment, especially if short-lived. From a quantitative point of view, moreover, the minimum and maximum of statutory penalties, are often so disproportionate compared to the abstract value of the offense, that the court is constrained to a role of the substitute of the legislator to adjust the legal determination of the statutory penalties to the constitutional principles of equality, rehabilitation and proportion, as he is now constantly required by the Constitutional Court. The second reason, however, lies in the overgrowth of the circumstances of the offense, as a result of the many legislative reforms that have distorted the overall discipline and character, changing their original function as legal causes of statutory penalties’ amendment, designed specifically to restrict judicial discretionary sentencing power. Emblematic it appears the story of the legislation against persistent offenders, which, despite having been recently reformed by the legislature in a particularly repressive sense, on the example of other European legal systems and of North-American laws of the "three strikes", maintaining it’s legal aggravating circumstance nature of the offense, has paradoxically produced an extension of the discretionary sentencing power of the judge, making even less effective the repressive response. The recent reform of the sanctions made by the l. 251 of 2005, therefore, is criticized because, despite the symbolic repressive value who wanted to give, has not really affected the foundation of this institution of recidivism, leaving its application to the court’s decision, without trying other solutions of criminal-political nature, as part of a more differentiated system of penalties, both by type of crime and perpetrators, that is, in itself, therefore, incompatible with a recidivism’s discipline based solely on increasing the penalty in the abstract, without distinction of seriousness of the current and previous offence(s) and of the time of previous offence (so called “wash-out period”).

Cornic, Sylvain. « Philippe Quinault ou la naissance de l'opéra français ». Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.paris-sorbonne.fr/cornic/html/index-frames.html.
Texte intégralRésumé :
La tragédie en musique lulliste fut influencée par la dramaturgie classique mais aussi, à ses débuts, par les choix originaux de Philippe Quinault (1635-1688), représentant tardif de la tragi-comédie irrégulière, dont il convient de réinterpréter les opéras à la lumière de son théâtre parlé. Partant d’un recensement de ce qu’il a retiré du répertoire dramatique et musical de son temps, ce travail étudie la formation de Quinault au théâtre chanté sous l’influence du roman héroïcogalant, de la pastorale, de la tragédie à machines, de la comédie-ballet moliéresque et du ballet de cour et montre comment il est parvenu, par une contribution tardive mais décisive, à surmonter l’échec de l’opéra italien en France et à dépasser l’effort de théorisation remarquable, mais incomplet, de Pierre Perrin, auteur du premier essai de tragédie en musique. Par des traits dramaturgiques et des enjeux théoriques communs, la poétique de la tragi-comédie apparaît en filigrane de la poétique de la tragédie en musique, paradoxalement ainsi fondée comme genre moderne. En réglant par la mise au point d’une formule ad hoc de prologue et l’invention du récitatif la question de la vraisemblance de la mimésis à l’opéra, Quinault mit une dramaturgie de l’enchantement au service d’une thématique du désenchantement : l’étude du cliché de sa « tendresse » et de son libertinage ambigu, entre hédonisme épicurien et scepticisme augustinien, confirme l’intérêt de ce dramaturge inclassable dont le début de réhabilitation mérite d’être prolongéLully’s tragédies en musique were influenced by classical drama as well as by the original early choices of his librettist Philippe Quinault (1635-1688). The operas of Quinault, a late representative of irregular tragicomedy, should be re-examined in light of his spoken dramas. This study begins with a survey of Quinault’s borrowings from the dramatic and musical repertoires of this time. It explores the ways in which the heroïco-galant novel, the pastorale, the tragédie à machines, the comedies-ballets of Molière and the ballet de cour influenced Quinault, and demonstrates how his late but decisive contribution transcended the failure of Italian opera in France as well as how it surpassed the remarkable yet incomplete theories of Pierre Perrin, who first attempted to write a tragédie en musique. A poetics of tragicomedy, rising from the dramaturgical and heoretical lements shared by both types of works, is discernable in the tragédie en musique, which is paradoxically considered a modern genre. Quinault’s ad hoc prologues and his invention of the French recitative allowed him to solve the problem of the verisimilitude of mimesis in opera, as well as permitting his “enchanted” works to treat the theme of disenchantment. A study of Quinault’s supposed “tenderness”, as compared to his ambiguous tendencies as a libertine, situated somewhere between hedonistic Epicureanism and Augustinian scepticism, confirms that the rehabilitation of this fascinating yet unclassifiable dramaturge fully deserves to be continued

Kennedy, Neil Patrick Martyn. « Employing Cornish cultures for community resilience ». Thesis, University of Exeter, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/12641.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Employing Cornish Cultures for Community Resilience. Can cultural distinctiveness be used to strengthen community bonds, boost morale and equip and motivate people socially and economically? Using the witness of people in Cornwall and comparative experiences, this discussion combines a review of how cultures are commodified and portrayed with reflections on well-being and ‘emotional prosperity’. Cornwall is a relatively poor European region with a cultural identity that inspires an established ethno-cultural movement and is the symbolic basis of community awareness and aspiration, as well as the subject of contested identities and representations. At the heart of this is an array of cultures that is identified as Cornish, including a distinct post-industrial inheritance, the Cornish Language and Celtic Revivalism. Cultural difference has long been a resource for cultural industries and tourism and discussion of using culture for regeneration has accordingly concentrated almost exclusively on these sectors but an emergent ‘regional distinctiveness agenda’ is beginning to present Cornish cultures as an asset for use in branding and marketing other sectors. All of these uses ultimately involve commodification but culture potentially has a far wider role to play in fostering economic, social, cultural and environmental resilience. This research therefore uses multidisciplinary approaches to broaden the discussion to include culture’s primary emotional and social uses. It explores the possibility that enhancing these uses could help to tackle economic and social disadvantage and to build more cohesive communities. The discussion centres on four linked themes: multiple forms of capital; discourse, narrative and myth; human need, emotion and well-being; representation and intervention. Cultural, social, symbolic and human capital are related to collective status and well-being through consideration of cultural practices, repertoires and knowledge. These are explored with discussion of accompanying representations and discourses and their social, emotional and economic implications so as to allow tentative suggestions for intervention in policy and representation. A key conclusion is that culture may be used proactively to increase ‘emotional capital’.

Thomas, Huw. « Social resilience in Cornish fishing communities ». Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/9690.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Rural Cornish coastal fishing communities express, and have expressed, varying degrees of ability to develop and retain social resilience capacity, or the ability to withstand ‘shock’ over both ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ onset events in social, political, economic and natural domain terms (Wilson, 2012a). Endogenous and exogenous influences may include natural changes in resources and resource dependency resulting in the loss or depletion of community livelihoods associated with a decline in fishing activities (Brookfield, 2005; Marshall, 2007a), issues of tourism driven change and notions of ‘community’. Four capitals are initially conceptually considered, those of natural, political, social and economic capitals driving institutional change and individual-community behaviour within fishing communities. This is considered for fishing activities and cross-community aspirational or extant forms of resilience building with a particular focus on social memory, community-personal identity (Wilson, 2012b; Wilson, 2013; Wilson, 2014) and critically, power (Chaskin, 2001). This research frames community resilience within a resilience framework on local, national and EU scales. The initial capital approach is further developed and articulated into a novel resilience status and process framework, the community resilience and vulnerability index, or the CRVI. The research fieldwork observes social resilience through empirical qualitative methods supported by an anthropological lens, especially in regard to social issues, trust, confidence, power and agency within fishing communities and trajectories that have been guided by internal and external influences and adaptive change to social networks. One of the research challenges was the building of the CRVI using coupled approaches to coping strategies that may have value both across the Cornish case study communities and into wider community usage.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this dissertation I examine the narrative parts of the so-called cornice of the Decameron. The core of my interpretation is to be found in Chapter I where I show that the frame story--the novella portante, as it has been called--with its "parabolic" rather than "rectilinear" progression is intended to illustrate the brigade's pursuit of pleasure, without any ulterior motive such as, for instance, the restructuring of the decaying Florentine society. A careful study of the members of the brigade (Chapter II) and of their songs (Chapter III) obviously forms an integral part of any analysis of the frame story. The Appendix deals with the illustrations of the cornice: the rich iconographic tradition of the Decameron, at least before this century, appears to have accorded more significance to the frame story than has literary criticism.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis seeks to address a small number of highly significant, unresolved issues in the consonantal system of the Cornish language, providing an analysis of the relevant sound changes during the crucial formative periods of their development. These studies draw upon the extant records of Old, Middle and Late Cornish and employ the methods of comparative historical phonology to reconstruct the most likely sequence of sound changes based upon the variant orthography of the various documents and other remnants of the language. The comparative element of the work relies upon the reconstruction of the phonological system of the language with reference to the attested languages most closely related to it. In this study, this necessarily focuses most closely upon the other extant Brythonic languages (Welsh and Breton), with occasional reference to the Goidelic languages. This process also includes non-Celtic languages where relevant: notably Latin, English and French, from which a great number of words were borrowed into Cornish. Specifically, the thesis comprises the following principal areas of study: (1) pre-occlusion in Middle and Late Cornish, the phenomenon by which n, nn became dn and by which m, mm became bm in certain phonetic environments; (2) the confusion of initial b and m in certain words in Middle and Late Cornish; (3) rare confusions of s and th in medial and final positions, principally in late Middle Cornish; and (4) an analysis of the progression of sound changes by which Old Cornish d, t became represented as Middle Cornish s, g and other spellings.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this search is to understand the educational reality that concerns
children of a Rom ethnic group.
The choice of the group is motivated from the fact that it deals with a marginal
context in comparison to our society, little studied, particularly as it concerns the
educational characteristics. Their conditions of life and the prejudices that burden
of them sometimes in a dangerous way from society sectors in which we live,
constitute besides a barrier to the relationships ,to the exchanges and the mutual
understanding.
Inside this group I notice the presence of a range of matters that were already
object of my interest on scientific field. The education in family with the
definition of the roles, the female matter, the scholastic abandonment and the
forestall of adulthood, the children schooling, the passage from orality to writing,
the integration problems.
The debate and the reflection on Rom culture with it’s manifold aspects and in the
difficulty of relationship with the majority culture are object of attention from
different points of view: anthropological, social and political, educational.
Close to the problematic knots some positive aspects inherent the same
educational trial are emerged. Whereas the education becomes sharing of lived ,if
children learn to give sense to the things, to the event and the people.
This job, with all the limit of a search that doesn’t pretend to give exhaustive
answers ,find its theoretical justification into the intercultural pedagogy, which
sustains that the educational engagement doesn’t exhaust in the recognition of the
cultural traces but that it will stay opened and allow to be put in discussion from
the meeting of the difference.

Tripp, Michael. « Persistence of difference : a history of Cornish wrestling ». Thesis, University of Exeter, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/106560.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The aim of this study was to provide an historical analysis of Cornish wrestling and in particular to address the following key questions: How has Cornish wrestling developed as a sport? Why is Cornish wrestling ‘different’? Why has Cornish wrestling survived? It was argued that in order to provide an adequate historical analysis it was necessary to locate the sport within an appropriate and relevant conceptual framework. Two fields of enquiry were identified as having the potential to provide this; mainstream British sport history and the ‘new Cornish Studies’. The main ideas and debates that form the basis for these two areas were reviewed and it was argued that British sport history offered only a partial interpretation for the history of Cornish wrestling as the evidence suggests it is different from other sports. It was further argued that with its emphasis upon ‘difference’ the ‘new Cornish Studies’ in general and Payton’s ‘centre-periphery model’ in particular offers a more appropriate conceptual framework, which is also rooted in a relevant local context. Payton developed his model to answer a number of questions relating to Cornwall’s distinctiveness: Why is Cornwall ‘different’? Why has this persisted? Why is there a strong sense of ‘Cornishness’ and separate identity which has survived until today? He concluded that Cornwall’s ‘difference’ has persisted because of its historical experience, which in each period has been distinct from other areas of Britain and has led directly to a unique identity. In Payton’s model, the privileged ‘centre’, which is the location of power and influence, is based largely in London and the south-east of England; whereas the ‘periphery’ is geographically remote from the ‘centre’, but dependent upon it. Payton proposed three phases of peripherality: ‘First’ or ‘Older Peripheralism’, characterised by geographical and cultural isolation from the centre; ‘Second Peripheralism’, which recognises the central importance of industrial change, producing economic and social marginality and ‘Third Peripheralism’ characterised by a ‘branch-factory’ economy promoting a process of ‘counter-urbanisation’. The structure of the thesis follows the phases of peripherality and argues the evidence is consistent with Payton’s ‘centre-periphery model’. The evidence also demonstrates that Cornish wrestling is ‘different’ and that ‘difference’ has persisted over time because of Cornwall’s historical experience, which in each period of peripherality has been distinct. Furthermore, throughout the entire period of the study, Cornish wrestling has been, and still remains, an important icon of Cornishness, which has ensured its survival.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Relating crime to tourism has seemingly been a taboo subject among tourism experts and researchers and it may be speculated, this is because crime is not a problem. Even fewer criminologists have thought to give the relationship a first, let alone a second glance and yet evidence exists which suggests that people on holiday are not only more likely to be victimised but are also routinely let down the criminal justice system. It is also likely that the breadth of the problem continues to grow as travel becomes increasingly routine for holidays, business and educational purposes. International Crime Victim Surveys which have existed since the latter part of the 1980s ask residents in a wide sweep of counties about their experiences of crime and subsequent support but there has not, to date been a similar exercise among visitor victims. This is in spite of research which has shown that while people who are victims of crime in their own locale are affected in a variety of ways, those who are similarly victimised while away from the familiar are doubly affected; they must deal with the issues relating to the actual crime and must do so without knowledge of their surroundings and the support of family and friends. As a result they may return home without resolving the emotional impact of the events. Thus negative impressions of the visit will be conveyed to family and Mends thus potentially deterdng them from visiting the same area. In view of the importance of tourism and the growth in travel to all corners of the world, failure to identify the risk of crime and its impact are serious omissions. This research therefore endeavours to begin to fill that gap through a detailed study in Cornwall in the southwest of England. This is a county which relies heavily upon tourism for its economic wellbeing and yet, data from a postal questionnaire to visitor victims suggested that little support was available in the event of a crime. This is, in part because the police often failed to note the status of the victim and, where they did, victims were less likely to be contacted by Victim Support than resident victims.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The elusive fiction of J. M. Coetzee is not a work in which you can read fixed ethical stances. I suggest testing the potentialities of a logic based on frames and double binds in Coetzee's novels. A double bind is a dilemma in communication which consists on tho conflicting messages, with the result that you canât successfully respond to neither. Jacques Derrida highlighted the strategic value of a way of thinking based on the double bind (but on frames as well), which enables to escape binary thinking and so it opens an ethical space, where you can make a choice out of a set of fixed rules and take responsibility for it. In Coetzeeâs fiction the author himself can be considered in a double bind, seeing that he is a white South African writer who feels that his âtaskâ canât be as simply as choosing to represent faithfully the violence and the racism of the apartheid or of choosing to give a voice to the oppressed. Good intentions alone do not ensure protection against entering unwittingly into complicity with the dominant discourse, and this is why is important to make the frame in which one is always situated clearly visible and explicit. The logic of the double bind becomes the way in which moral problem are staged in Coetzeeâs fiction as well: the opportunity to give a voice to the oppressed through the same language which co-opted to serve the cause of oppression, a relation with the otherness never completed, or the representability of evil in literature, of the secret and of the paradoxical implications of confession and forgiveness.

La ricerca ha l’obiettivo di analizzare il complesso fenomeno della cornice attraverso i principali contributi di filosofi, psicologi, teorici e storici dell’arte. Il primo capitolo prende in considerazione la cornice in quanto oggetto teorico, esaminandone la natura filosofica e semiotica, unitamente all’incidenza a livello percettivo. La seconda sezione affronta l’evoluzione della cornice nel tempo, approfondendo soprattutto determinate epoche storiche particolarmente significative per lo sviluppo del fenomeno, come l’età rinascimentale e il periodo barocco. Il terzo capitolo esplora le diverse declinazioni che la cornice ha vissuto tra il XIX e il XX secolo: dalla cornice formale a quella concettuale, da quella istituzionale alle ricerche ambientali. Infine, l’elaborato si sofferma su alcuni recenti contributi artistici e curatoriali che hanno visto come protagonista la cornice.

Bunn, Leanne. « Changing landscapes : Norman Cornish and North East regional identity ». Thesis, Northumbria University, 2010. http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/3677/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis examines the work of the Durham pitman and artist Norman Cornish whilst analysing the economic and cultural climate which has promoted and sustained his career as a regional artist for over seventy years. Cornish’s depiction of mining life remains widely acknowledged by regional patrons and the local media as an iconic representation of the distinctiveness of North East mining communities. The fact that his work continues to receive considerable media attention whilst maintaining a strong patronage within the region, promotes several issues relating to the understanding of regional culture and identity. Why has Cornish’s work remained so enduringly popular and what does this reveal about the dynamics of North East regional culture? This research considers the interpretation and patronage of Cornish’s work during key periods of the region’s development and in doing so provides the first sustained study of Cornish’s career in relation to regional cultural identity. Industrialisation, economic change, concepts of community and nostalgia are all recognised as fundamental factors which have shaped the region’s cultural identity during the twentieth century. Essentially, it is argued that a sense of ‘Northernness’ is crucial to Cornish’s regional popularity. Significantly, this thesis identifies a variation between Cornish’s regional and national popularity. The artist’s strong local appeal has not been replicated consistently on a broader national level. It is suggested that the varying national interest in Cornish’s career should be considered in relation to wider artistic trends as well as patronage from organisations such as the National Coal Board. On a regional level, a large proportion of Cornish’s continued appeal to local audiences can be attributed to the sympathetic response from the regional media. Whilst the study of regional identity within the scope of visual culture is by no means a new or impoverished field, this study adopts a thematic treatment of culture, identity and representation, in order to understand the contribution of visual culture to regional identity during the twentieth century. By dealing with visual culture in its broadest and most fluid sense, this study consults both social and cultural history sources alongside art historical perspectives.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this regional study of Methodist development and societal influence throughout the period of industrialisation, recent trends in Methodist historiography at a national level are combined with the research and source material accumulated at a local level, to provide a detailed analysis of Methodist growth in Cornwall between the years 1780 and 1870. The thesis is divided loosely into three sections. In the first, four chapters outline the essential background to interpretative analysis by considering, in turn, recent historiographical developments in Methodist studies; social change in Cornwall during industrialisation; the performance of the Anglican Church in the county as represented in the Visitation Returns for 1779, (as well as historical and structural reasons for its 'failure'); and Methodist growth as expressed through available statistical indices, especially the date of formation of Methodist societies, and the 1851 Ecclesiastical Census. In the second section, one long chapter is devoted to an in-depth, county-wide analysis of Methodist growth, which considers the impact of external factors, particularly socio-economic, and internal circumstances, such as the degree of maturity of pastoral and administrative machinery, and the level of Connexional or lay control over chapel and circuit affairs, on the form and function of Methodism in nine distinct socioeconomic regions within the county. In the third section, four chapters concentrate on West Cornwall, where Methodism was strongest, in order to examine the roots of, and reasons for, the distinctively indigenous form of Methodism which developed there. On the one hand, the pastoral and administrative difficulties in exerting adequate Connexional control are considered; while on the other, an interpretation of the 'folk' functionality of revivals and of Methodism as a 'popular religion' is offered.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Cornish Colony (1895 - 1920) was a group of artists, writers, actors, musicians and public figures attracted to the rural beauty of Cornish, New Hampshire. The colony developed into a social and innovative community of common interests and artistic values that included over 75 artists who shared a love of classical traditions in literature and art. Colony Members included: Augustus Saint-Gardens, Thomas Dewing, Charles Adams Platt, Louis Evan Shipman, Juliet Barrett Rublee, Maxfield Parrish, Lucia Fairchild Fuller, Percy MacKaye and Winston Churchill. This thesis will explore the theatrical productions in the colony based in collaboration between visual and theatrical artists in the Colony and how this collaboration extended to the townspeople. It will also explore how the Colony’s dramatics had an influence on the artistic growth of Cornish and the surrounding Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire.

El presente trabajo consiste en un estudio sistemático de la importancia del mar en la pintura del norte de España de los últimos 70 años. No se trata de un estudio genérico, sino que busca la concreción, no contemplando las obras y autores en los que el mar es un mero acompañamiento, como podría serlo cualquier otro elemento, o en los que el tratamiento de este género ha sido ocasional o puntual. El mar debe ser el protagonista, aunque en ocasiones sea paralelo -o incluso secundario- a otro posible protagonista, de la misma manera que en un cuadro de paisaje consiste en una representación de la naturaleza con otros elementos posibles, incluso con preeminencia. Así pues, es - haciendo una recopilación de pintores que hayan abordado el tema de la marina, de forma directa y en la pintura figurativa- un análisis de la obra general, y ubicarla en su contexto histórico para poder establecer la dinámica de la creación pictórica en este tema y en esta área.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The china clay industry in the UK produces vast quantities of benign waste through the production of clay and aggregate products. These wastes contain a wide array of minor quantities of accessory minerals, none of which have been quantitatively studied or properly classified in detail. In view of the potential for recovering rare elements, this project investigates the presence of these accessory minerals with particular focus on the tantalum and niobium ore mineral series, columbite-tantalite. Although these minerals are already known to be present, no research on their distribution within the potential ore body has been undertaken and knowledge of the structure of these and other tantalum minerals present is very limited. The thesis sets out to assess the potential resources available through analysis and interpretation of samples collected from Goonvean Ltd. SW England. Initial samples were taken from five operating pit faces to confirm the presence of tantalum mineralogy across the three areas worked by Goonvean Ltd (Goonvean, Rostowrack and Trelavour Downs's pits) for clay extraction. Detailed information of the elemental and mineralogical differences between these areas was gathered, using a variety of analytical techniques. To determine which single site had the most potential for concentrating tantalum efficiently. Based on element abundance, mineralogical content and characteristics of ore grains to upgrade, (Le. grain size, density and liberation) material from Trelavour Downs pit was selected for investigation. Drill core samples were collected and elemental distribution analysed, including Ta, Nb, Sn, Wand other trace level elements. Using geostatistical techniques the presence of trends or patterns within the area, which can give an insight into the mineralization, was investigated. This information was used to generate an estimate of grade and tonnages available. Although literature reports the presence of tantalum and niobium within the area, only one paper investigates the mineralogy from concentrates, (Scott et al. 1998) which from a small number of grains of columbite-tantalite showed a high variation in chemistry; Manning and Hill (1990) also recorded traces of the niobium and tantalum containing mineral ilmenorutile. In this study, QEMSCAN is applied to measure thousands of grains instead of tens of grains, providing improved detail into the mineralogical variability. The drill core samples were combined into composite samples which respect the geology. This produced eighteen samples which were analysed in full detail utilising mineral processing coupled with analytical techniques. Through this analysis, the tantalum minerals were classified, and other mineral species previously undiscovered in the area were identified. Notably QEMSCAN analyses enabled identification of the minerals present, including the gangue mineralogy and their characteristics. Laboratoryscale tests were conducted to assess the viability and variability of gravity separation for production of a tantalum pre-concentrate as well as monitoring the behaviour of other elements, notably niobium, tin and tungsten. QEMSCAN and XRF analyses of gravity separation products from the composite samples allowed insight into the effect of varying tantalum mineralogy on separation efficiency and a model was devised based on these results to predict the grade and recovery of tantalum for the eighteen composites. Compared to other operations, Tailson's Wodgina mine produces a pre-concentrate grade at 8% Ta20S, Haddington resources Ltd. Produces a pre-concentrate at 7.5% and Noventa's Morrua mine in Mozambique at 10% Ta205 (Serjak, 2004, Antonio, 2008).Tantalum grade after a rougher and cleaner Mozley table circuit was measured at 8.9% Ta20S and the combined tantalum recovery was 66%; this is greater than Tanco's sand recovery circuit at 55% , which has a similar size fraction (200-20 ~m), although their overall recovery reaches 70% (Flemming et aI, 1982) and Haddington's preconcentrate tantalum recovery is 65% (Serjak, 2004). The topaz granite contains variable levels of topaz which is heavy gangue mineral with a density ranging between 3.5-3.6 glcm3 (Barthelmy, 2010). This mineral is dominant in any concentrate produced from heavy liquid and gravity tests. Although its content is significantly reduced through gravity separation on the Mozley table, it remains at high levels and dilutes the concentrates. Niobium and tin were also shown to respond well to gravity separation. However, tungsten responds very poorly due its very fine grain size. It is the opinion of the author that further investigation into the extraction and refinement of these metals may lead to an economic added value product(s) if demand and prices for these metals is favourable. Although concentration by DMS upgraded the grain counts of tantalum mineralogy analysed by QEMSCAN, the grade was still too low to discern the variability of tantalum minerals within a single sample. This resulted in the model incorrectly predicting the Mozley table concentrate grade and recovery. Finally, a relationship between the mineralogy, mineral density and the tantalum and niobium assays of composites is proposed as well as a methodology to predict the mineralogical properties which affect the performance of mineral grains on the Mozley table. An integration of this estimated data is proposed and its uses outlined.

Trotter, Lesley Jane. « 19th century emigration from Cornwall as experienced by the wives 'left behind' ». Thesis, University of Exeter, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/18338.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The 19th century is recognised as a period of mass emigration from Cornwall, with a significant proportion of the male population leaving to work overseas, mainly in the mining industry. Less appreciated is that many of these migrants were married men who left wives and children behind in Cornwall. This study seeks to shed some light on the experiences of these women, known as 'married widows'. It adopts a multi-faceted approach, which draws upon crowd-sourcing and digital resources, in combination with more traditional methodologies. Scattered and fragmentary qualitative evidence (drawn from correspondence, newspapers, remittance and poor law records, supplemented by personal testimony recorded in family histories) is examined within a quantitative framework produced by an innovative database created from census records and a longitudinal study of outcomes. This thesis describes how tens of thousands of wives were 'left behind' in the mining communities of Cornwall, and the wide range of resources they drew upon in the absence of their husbands. It examines the interaction between the wives and the State in the form of the Poor Law and the Courts, identifying a pragmatic response to the needs of the emerging transnational nuclear family. Male migration from Cornwall is revealed to vary widely in type, intent and duration, leading to great diversity of experiences and outcomes for the wives 'left behind'. The establishment of temporary male labour emigration from the Cornish mining communities is shown to have occurred earlier than in many other emigration centres, creating greater potential for cultural acclimatisation to the challenges of spousal separation. The findings of this study challenge existing, generalised, perceptions of the wives as passive victims in the Cornish emigration story. Levels of destitution or desertion appear low compared to the scale of the phenomenon, and wives are shown as active participants and influential voices in family strategies. Nonetheless, this study highlights the vulnerability and greater risks faced by the wives 'left behind', and identifies financial and emotional insecurity as common elements of their experience. This thesis demonstrates a methodology and reveals insights that might be applied to the study of wives 'left behind' in other parts of the British Isles, and a comparator for existing studies of those elsewhere in the world.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis has used family reconstitution techniques in order to analyse kinship patterns for the Bodmin Moor parishes of St Neot and Bolventor in Cornwall. A kinship database of more than 13,000 individuals was created and kinship links between households in 1793, 1851 and 1911 were then measured. The results revealed the persistence of dense kinship networks that were very different from those found in English studies, and similar to those found in Wales and Brittany. Twelve factors were identified that contributed to the creation and persistence of high kinship densities. However, the principal underlying reason was the remarkably consistent spatial pattern of Cornish rural society. St Neot and Bolventor, with their structures of hamlets and small, isolated farm settlements, matched the pattern found across most of Cornwall. It was a structure that enabled people to find both marriage partners and employment in close proximity to their places of birth. Kinship densities were reinforced by remnants of ancient Cornish manorial systems that survived until the end of the eighteenth century, and then by the ultra-local structures of Methodism in the following century. The latter grew at the same time as the rapid expansion in copper mining. Surprisingly, migrating miners from mid and west Cornwall were also found to have dense local kinship networks. Enclosure also reinforced kinship patterns because of the security of tenure offered to occupiers of the newly created moorland farms, and also because the spatial pattern of settlements repeated the structure of lowland communities enclosed in the medieval period. The collapse in mining and the greater general mobility of the population did result in a weakening of kinship densities towards the end of the nineteenth century. Despite this, first-order kinship links at the beginning of the twentieth century remained higher than for any comparable study of modern or early modern agricultural or mining communities in England, yet remarkably similar to those in Wales. This shared Welsh and Cornish kinship culture provides fresh evidence, along with other factors such as religious experience and a Brittonic language heritage, to support a Celtic narrative for Cornwall that is perhaps more comprehensive and enduring than has sometimes been supposed.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The principal aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between visitors and the Cornish church heritage. From the tourism literature, the concepts of the marker (MacCannell 1976), collage tourism (Rojek 1997) and the romantic gaze (Urry 1990) are considered within the motivational and information-seeking elements. Additionally, a range of literature from history, geography, sociology, Cornish studies and the emerging tenets of tourism research is utilised. Historic sources, such as guidebooks and postcards, illustrate the nature of the visitor experience in previous decades and foreground the contemporary review. The latter comprises an analysis of visitors’ books and a face-to-face survey with 725 respondents at three churches. From this data, a cross-profile of the Cornish church visitor is created, identifying multiple motivations which include a search for ‘roots’ and Celtic elective affinity, besides spiritual support and aesthetic satisfaction. Socio-demographic and socio-economic indicators segment the church visitor population although lifestyle is argued to be as significant. There is a clear distinction between the visitors and the national average across a number of practices, including television viewing and holiday-taking. A distinction also exists in terms of educational qualifications and membership of heritage organisations. Bourdieu’s (1986) concept of cultural capital acquisition is posited as an influential determinant for a number of visitors. Conflating the multiple motivations for first-time and repeat visitors, a classification of purposive, incidental, and accidental Cornish church visitors is created. A small number are frequent visitors to churches whilst, for the majority, the experience is just one element in the overall visitor experience. It is apparent that the extant Cornish church heritage forms a key attraction in the county’s destination image.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This project sets out to discover and develop techniques for the lemmatisation of a historical corpus of the Cornish language in order that a lemmatised dictionary macrostructure can be generated from the corpus. The system should be capable of uniquely identifying every lexical item that is attested in the corpus. A survey of published and unpublished Cornish dictionaries, glossaries and lexicographical notes was carried out. A corpus was compiled incorporating specially prepared new critical editions. An investigation into the history of Cornish lemmatisation was undertaken. A systemic description of Cornish inflection was written. Three methods of corpus lemmatisation were trialed. Findings were as follows. Lexicographical history shapes current Cornish lexicographical practice. Lexicon based tokenisation has advantages over character based tokenisation. System networks provide the means to generate base forms from attested word types. Grammatical difference is the most reliable way of disambiguating homographs. A lemma that contains three fields, the canonical form, the part-of-speech and a semantic field label, provides of a unique code for every lexeme attested in the corpus. Programs which involve human interaction during the lemmatisation process allow bootstrapping of the lemmatisation database. Computerised morphological processing may be used at least to partially create the lemmatisation database. Disambiguation of at least some of the most common homographs may be automated by the use of computer programs.

Martindale, Tim. « Livelihoods, craft and heritage : transmissions of knowledge in Cornish fishing villages ». Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2012. http://research.gold.ac.uk/8008/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In response to a sense of ‘crisis’ in global fisheries, contemporary policies and social science accounts have tended to approach fishery ‘problems’ in terms of models derived from biology and resource-economics. Through a study of the fishing industry in Cornwall, UK, this thesis contributes an alternative perspective – examining how knowledges and meanings attached to the work of fishing are reproduced in the context of wider social relations and economies. Processes of European rural re-structuring, increasing costs and restricted access, have recently exacerbated more long-term trends of decline in Cornish fisheries. However social change and new media for knowledge transmission also contribute to the remaking and reinvention of fishing livelihoods and ideologies. The study is based on a historical ethnographic methodology which included archival research, participant observation, unstructured interviews and life-histories. From the late nineteenth century the marginalisation of Cornwall’s fishing and maritime economy accompanied the ‘discovery’ and idealisation of Cornish fishing villages through art and tourism. Social distance and inequality in fishing villages grew but so also did new forms of co-dependency. More recently conflict has emerged around the politics of the environment, and fishers’ knowledges point to the unpredictability of fishing ecologies and economies, suggesting the potential for alternative management models. Narratives about skill, craft and expertise play a role in how some producers in Cornwall reproduce themselves as independent fishermen and reflect a concern that such skills and dispositions are passed on to future generations. Others have diversified into forms of art and craft production – activities which shape memory and sense of place whilst replicating notions of self- sufficiency. I argue for the potential constructiveness of forms of heritage practice which can be both a source of critical nostalgia and an imaginative approach to the past as a resource for the regeneration of regional maritime economies. Whilst meanings and ideologies attached to the work of fishing in Cornwall may serve as markers of loss or of conflicts around knowledge production, or may mask systemic inequalities, they can also be a source of innovation, reward and creativity

Texte intégralRésumé :
Recently there has been considerable interest in Cornish ethnicity reflected both by a rise in the numbers in Cornwall who identify as Cornish and by academic research. Cornish studies have constructed a regional narrative embracing Celticity and an economy based on primary industries, particularly mining, from which has evolved a distinctive culture. This study adopting an ethnographic approach, extends Cornish studies by considering a number of elements which have not previously been addressed. These include investigating how identity may be played out in a particular place to see whether there may be differences in how ethnicity is performed within Cornwall, looking at how it may be practiced collectively in the context of civil society and examining the relationship between ethnicity and place identity. Three settings within Penzance have been selected to represent some of the issues prevalent in twenty first century Cornwall. They include a study of festivals celebrating ethnicity and place identity, an investigation of how kinship and ethnicity are the basis for social cohesion on a social housing estate and an analysis of a dispute over harbour re-development reflecting tensions between regeneration and conservation. Investigating the civil society associated with each of these settings has identified a number of discourses which influence place images, are the focus for debate and reflect different ways in which ethnicity is articulated and performed. Influences on Cornish identity have been exposed which have not been previously explored by Cornish Studies including the relationship between civil society and the state, the importance of place mythology and the impact of inward migration. The study concludes that collective identities, ethnicity and place images are constantly in flux driven by discourses debated within the micro-politics of civil society and that the overarching narratives of Cornishness contain tensions and cleavages which help explain the fractured nature of much of public life in Cornwall.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis considers local residents’ perceptions of Cornish mining landscapes, with a particular focus on tin and copper mining. The aim of the thesis is to better understand the changing economic, political and cultural values which Cornish mining sites and features have embodied during the post-war period (from 1950 to 2010). This research has focused on the familiar and the everyday including industrial remains of the later 20th century. The three case studies examined, Botallack, St Agnes, and Minions, are part of the Cornish Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (designated in 2006). This research has been strongly informed by the social archaeology of industry and contemporary archaeology, and a number of complimentary ethnographic and statistical techniques have been utilised, supplemented by archival research and visual data methods. The themes which have been examined include: site descriptions; paths and networks; metaphors of industry; significant features in the landscape; time and change; contention in the landscape; and World Heritage Site status. This research has concluded that public perceptions on Cornish mining landscapes are strongly informed by romanticism whilst the use of demonic, heroic and romantic tropes is another key theme. Since mine shafts were closed for health and safety reasons perception is now focused on the surface of mines and the subsurface world is largely out-of-sight and out of mind. Changes in the landscape are often defined around concepts of the ‘local’, the ‘incomer’ and the ‘outsider’; the latter largely standing for external authority. Statistical analysis has shown that longevity of residence is a significant factor in shaping perception, whilst qualitative data has demonstrated different ways in which incomers become ‘local’. There are many different connections to Cornish mining landscapes and these relict industrial sites are not dead or derelict spaces.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The distinctiveness of folk music and dance traditions in Cornwall is at best ignored and at worst denied by the wider British folk movement. Within Cornwall itself, traditional music and dance is not widely recognised as a serious art form. This study challenges this position by arguing that failure to recognise Cornwall’s folk tradition as a distinctive and creative art form is due to hegemonic power relations not the intrinsic nature of Cornish material. It contributes to the debate about the distinctiveness of Cornwall’s historical and cultural identity and shows that folk tradition has an important place in contemporary Cornish studies. This study examines the evolution of folk tradition in Cornwall from the early nineteenth century through to the present day, the meanings ascribed to it and the relationship with Cornish identity. The subject matter is at once arcane and commonplace, for some it is full of mystery and symbolism for others it is just “party time”. It is about what people do and what they think about what they do in relation to the wide spectrum of activities associated with traditional music and dance. These activities range from informal singing sessions and barn dances to ritual customs that mark the turning of the year. In order to establish a research methodology this study draws upon the paradigms of memory, oral history and discursivity. These paradigms provide a range of insights into, and alternative views of, both folk tradition and identity. Action research provides a useful enquiry tool as it binds these elements together and offers a working ethos for this study. Using this model a complex and dynamic process is unveiled within folk tradition that offers a quite different perspective on its relationship with identity and brings into question popular stereotypes.

Illes, Jane. « Organic complexes of unrefined and milled kaolin : an infrared spectroscopic study ». Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2000. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/19856/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Aim: to characterise the surface sites present on unrefined and ball milled Cornish kaolin, with a view to ultimately determining the mode of interaction between the mineral and industrially significant organic molecules. Milling and temperature were found to affect the structure of kaolin and types of surface sites present. These changes were monitored primarily by variable temperature diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (VT DRIFTS) and other complementary techniques including XRD and TGA. Curve fitting of the VT DRIFT spectra was used to aid characterisation of the types of water present on the mineral surface. The diagnostic probe molecule pyridine was used to identify the changes in reactive acid sites present as temperature increased both before and after milling, and oleic acid was used as a representative adsorbate to analyse the effects of carboxylic acid treatment. As ball milling time increased, so did the kaolin agglomerate size and the amount of surface sorbed water. The types of water present on the surface of unrefined and ball milled Cornish kaolin have been characterised, and grouped into four main types -strongly hydrogen bonded, moderately strongly hydrogen bonded, weakly hydrogen bonded and very weakly hydrogen bonded. The different water environments were observed using DRIFTS in the bending and stretching regions of the spectrum. Changes in the stretching region were generally less distinct, since the bands were broader than in the bending region. However, changes in both regions were elucidated by curve fitting of the VT DRIFT spectra, and certain bands appeared to have similar thermal behaviour. Freshly milled samples had a greater proportion of strongly hydrogen bonded water compared with the other, more weakly bonded types. Aged samples had less total surface sorbed water, and relatively less strongly hydrogen bonded water compared with the more weakly bonded species. Pyridine displaced the more strongly hydrogen bonded water (an effect similar to ageing). A dehydrated halloysite impurity was found which intercalated pyridine. VT XRD showed that deintercalation occurred at c 100 °C. The hydrogen bonding nature of the halloysite-pyridine interactions became less pronounced as milling increased. Pyridine adsorption to kaolin was via Bronsted sites in the unmilled kaolin. As milling time increased the mineral surface took on Lewis acid character and less hydrogen bonding occurred. Bronsted associations were present in all the milled (and unmilled) samples and became more significant as milling time increased (as more surface water was present). In addition to the intercalation reaction between halloysite and pyridine, this probe molecule is likely to bind to exposed (broken) edge sites on kaolin and/or halloysite, or to sorb between the slightly expanded mineral layers at the edges of the mineral stacks. Oleic acid adsorption onto kaolin at pH 3, was via surface adsorption of monodentate. Acid precipitate was loosely associated with the surface via hydrocarbon chain interactions with the adsorbed salt. At pH 9, total surface adsorption was low. Adsorbed species were monodentate in character. Mono- and dioleate were present as loosely bound surface precipitates. At pH 12 the salt was associated with the surface in the bridged bidentate form. Adsorption was high due to hydrocarbon chain associations with micelles, containing some trapped acid species. The precipitate at pH 12 was strongly held, and there was no significant reduction in intensity after washing.
