The proposed project would consider the tensions between rural and industrial imaginings of Wales in the post-war period. It will focus on Iowerth C. Peate's vision of Wales as seen at St Fagans Museum. The project would span the period between the museum's inception in 1946 and Peate's retirement in 1971. It would examine whether Peate's imagining of Wales as a folk nation sullied by industrialisation was a fair representation of the people of Wales, or if it was a willing romanticisation of the nation in response to English influences. If the latter, the project would examine exactly what Peate was constructing for the nation and why, as well as how this construction of Wales fit within, or challenged, other national visions at the time, such as those of nationalist Saunders Lewis or of the National Museum of Wales (Cathays Park) director, Cyril Fox. The project would also consider how the restrictive tenets of the gwerin definition necessitated that certain populations of Wales be removed from Peate's vision of the nation, and how his use of the medium of a museum shaped the representation of Welsh women when the typically domestic space of the home/house was repurposed as a public tool of nation-building. To do this, this project will use letters, journals, and catalogue entries of Peate's currently housed in the Paper Archive at St Fagans.

拟议的项目将考虑威尔士战后农村和工业想象之间的紧张关系。它将聚焦于爱荷华斯·C·皮特在圣费根博物馆看到的威尔士愿景。该项目将跨越从1946年博物馆成立到1971年佩特退休的这段时间。它将考察佩特将威尔士想象成一个被工业化玷污的民间国家，这是不是公平地代表了威尔士人民，还是为了回应英国的影响而自愿将国家浪漫化。如果是后者，该项目将确切地研究Peate正在为国家建设什么，为什么，以及这种建设威尔士如何适应或挑战当时的其他国家愿景，如民族主义者桑德斯·刘易斯或威尔士国家博物馆(国泰公园)馆长西里尔·福克斯的愿景。该项目还将考虑格温定义的限制性原则如何需要将威尔士的某些人口从佩特的国家愿景中移除，以及当家庭/房屋的典型家庭空间被重新用作国家建设的公共工具时，他对博物馆媒介的使用如何塑造了威尔士妇女的代表。为了做到这一点，这个项目将使用目前保存在圣费根纸质档案馆的Peate‘s的信件、日记和目录条目。
