Abstract
ABSTRACT This article moves beyond the more usual focus on hierarchical relations between “major” and “minor” cultures to contribute to the emerging debate on the importance of the relations of peripheries with each other, by seeking out the hidden tensions in a rich corpus of travel writing relating to a neo-druidic event in Cardiff in 1899, to which a group of enthusiastic Bretons, mostly from the ranks of the newly formed Union Régionaliste Bretonne [Breton Regionalist Union], were invited. The main texts analysed are by Anatole Le Braz, Charles Le Goffic, François Jaffrennou and Frañsez Vallée. These texts are in French, Breton and Welsh. The analysis reveals tensions within Breton regionalism as well as tensions between two minority cultures.
本文超越了通常对“主要”和“次要”文化之间等级关系的关注,通过寻找与1899年卡迪夫新德鲁伊事件相关的丰富旅行写作语库中隐藏的紧张关系,为外围相互关系的重要性做出了贡献,该事件邀请了一群热情的布列塔尼人,主要来自新成立的联盟r区域主义者Bretonne[布列塔尼地区主义者联盟]。分析的主要文本是由Anatole Le Braz, Charles Le Goffic, franois Jaffrennou和Frañsez vall。这些文本是用法语、布列塔尼语和威尔士语写成的。分析揭示了布列塔尼地区主义内部的紧张关系,以及两个少数民族文化之间的紧张关系。
