If English regionalism is the dog that never barked then English regional history has in recent years been barely able to raise much more than a whimper. Regional history in Britain enjoyed its heyday between the late 1970s and late1990s but now looks increasingly threadbare when contrasted with the work of regional geographers. Like geographers, in earlier times regional historians busied themselves with two activities. First, they set out to describe social processes and structures at a regional level. The region, it was claimed, was the most convenient container for studying ‘patterns of historical development across large tracts of the English countryside’ and understanding the interconnections between social, economic, political, demographic and administrative history, enabling the researcher to transcend both the hyper-specialization of ‘national’ historical studies and the parochial and inward-looking gaze of English local history. Second, and occurring in parallel, was a search for the best boundaries within which to pursue this multi-disciplinary quest. Although he explicitly rejected the concept of region on the grounds that it was impossible comprehensively to define the term, in many ways the work of Charles Phythian-Adams was the culmination of this process of categorization. Phythian-Adams proposed a series of cultural provinces, supra-county entities based on watersheds and river basins, as broad containers for human activity in the early modern period. Within these, ‘local societies’ linked together communities or localities via networks of kinship and lineage. 3

William Padwick, the successful entrepreneur, once envisaged Hayling, .a flat rural island off the south coast of Hampshire, as a resort that would rival Brighton in popularity and amenities. In 1823 he successfully lobbied Parliament to build a bridge connecting the island to the mainland. 1 The bridge opened in 1824, and within two years, Padwick began building on the island's sandy southern shore. Norfolk Crescent, an imposing curved construction of sixteen luxury town homes similar to buildings in Brighton and Bath, was flanked by the Royal Hotel, a bathhouse for sea-bathing, and an ionic-columned library, all deemed essential leisure amenities for a fashionable spa resort in the nineteenth century.

With few exceptions, the theme of alcoholism is almost non-existent in Romanian contemporary historiography. This draws on a number of factors more or less noteworthy such as the thematic and methodological desynchronization of Romanian historiography compared to the products of the Western historiography during the nineteenth century and up until today. On the other hand, we can speak about a pseudo-reformation of the Romanian historiography after 1989 (the year when the communist regime collapsed in Romania).

The study of identity politics and transformation in Nigeria has continued to gain increasing prominence particularly since the early 1990's when the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) began to have a profound impact on its form and character.l Efforts have been made to capture the effects of this on inter-group relations and conflicts. In these approaches, much emphasis has been placed on the ethnic and religious dimensions of identity politics and particularly the minority question.3 Despite these advances, however, there seems to be a glaring neglect of an equally significant component of identity politics in Nigeria. This relates to the question of sub-ethnic minorities, that is, minorities within a minority.

Near the beginning of her career, Berkeley artist and etcher Elizabeth Ginno was afforded the opportunity to participate in one of the most culturally significant, pre-World War Two events to affect the public perception of West Coast Art The Golden Gate International Exposition held on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay (colloquially known as the World's Fair on Treasure Island). While working at the 1940 edition of the Fair, Ginno created some 75 etchings depicting men, women, and children of various cultures in traditional dress. Ginno's training in the arts and early theatrical costuming experience provided her with the background necessary to create these objects. She combined the documentation and communication aspects of costume illustration with the artistry and commercial appeal of etching. During the 1940 Exposition, Ginno utilized the exposure to foreign cultures to document traditional dress. Seemingly, these were merely depictions of 'foreign visitors', but as historian Elizabeth Ann Coleman has noted' As in all human endeavors, the truth is always slightly bent to favor someone.' 1 Though these etchings represent 'timeless' costumes steeped in regional history and traditions, they have actually captured a very distinct moment in time. They reveal a growing concern, held by Ginno and the Bay Area at large, over the presumed loss of traditional European cultures due to Hitler's growing occupation of Western Europe. More significant than accuracy, quality or technical skill these works primarily function as a link to a lost era and provide a record of the Bay Area's public memory just prior to the U.S. involvement in World War Two. In a more general sense, this private collection of etchings allows historians to glean a better picture of the life and concerns of Bay Area residents, which in this case, seem to focus on current events, race and politics.
接近她的职业生涯的开始，伯克利的艺术家和蚀刻伊丽莎白·吉诺提供了机会参加一个最具文化意义的，第二次世界大战前的事件，以影响公众对西海岸艺术的看法金门国际博览会在金银岛在旧金山湾举行(俗称金银岛世界博览会)。在1940年的博览会上，吉诺创作了75幅蚀刻画，描绘了穿着传统服装的不同文化的男人、女人和孩子。Ginno在艺术方面的训练和早期的戏剧服装经验为她创造这些物品提供了必要的背景。她将服装插图的记录和交流方面与蚀刻的艺术性和商业吸引力结合起来。在1940年世博会期间，Ginno利用对外国文化的接触来记录传统服饰。表面上看，这些只是对“外国游客”的描述，但正如历史学家伊丽莎白·安·科尔曼(Elizabeth Ann Coleman)所指出的那样，“在人类的所有努力中，真相总是会稍微偏向某个人。”虽然这些蚀刻版画代表的是浸透了地区历史和传统的“永恒”服装，但它们实际上捕捉到了一个非常独特的时刻。它们揭示了Ginno和整个旧金山湾区日益增长的担忧，即由于希特勒对西欧的不断占领，欧洲传统文化可能会丧失。比准确性、质量或技术技能更重要的是，这些作品的主要功能是连接一个失落的时代，并提供了湾区在美国参与第二次世界大战之前的公共记忆记录。从更广泛的意义上说，这些私人收藏的铜版画使历史学家能够更好地了解湾区居民的生活和关注的问题，在这种情况下，这些问题似乎集中在时事、种族和政治上。

On the 31 January 2004, Notts County played Barnsley in a Nationwide League Division Two fixture. Meadow Lane, the home of Notts County Football Club echoed to the chilling cries of 'twenty years and you're still a scab' and other chants displaying similar sentiments, sung by Barnsley fans to their Nottinghamshire rivals. Just five weeks away from the twentieth anniversary of the beginning of the year long national Miners' Strike of 1984-85, it was painfully clear at this match that the wounds that had been reopened twenty years earlier; and that initially occurred during an earlier miners' strike in 1926, between striking and non-striking miners and their respective communities were far from healed. Drawing primarily on data collected at the match as part of a wider study examining the role of football chants in the continuity of the blason populaire tradition. The playing out of the hostilities of the Miners' Strike through football chants will be explored, together with how such chants act as powerful vocal weapons against rival fans. Their content relies on an event which continues to produce highly emotive responses many years after the event. The opinions of Barnsley fans regarding the appropriateness of such chants will also be examined, using data collected from several discussions on an unofficial Barnsley FC internet chatroom in the days following the match.
