Polly Stewart’s “Regional Consciousness as a Shaper of Local History: Examples from the Eastern Shore”
Richard Meyer’s “Image and Identity in Oregon’s Pioneer Cemeteries”
Folklorists often study local or regional cultures. (The Stewart and Meyer readings are by folklorists) Then you have some historians, sometimes oral historians, who deal with local histories of people, and some environmental historians who study local histories of nature. What do you make of all these interrelationships? local cultures in historical context, local histories of cultures, local nature, local people, and local culture? How do identities come into play in all this? Individuals can be said to have personal identities, groups of people to have cultural identities, and even places to have identities of their own? How might we relate all these?
