Militancy and Whiteness amongst the Working People of County Durham, 1919: A Multi-Occupational Approach.

该项目将在1919年跨国地定位达勒姆郡，通过区域工人阶级意识探索帝国对英国社会的全球影响。这项研究将抵制将达勒姆郡的工人阶级同质化的诱惑，关注其职业多样性，并测试“白人工人阶级”这个有争议的概念的实用性。利用巴赫金的思想和语言概念，它将考虑劳动人民设法克服断层线的程度，以便在该地区产生一种阶级凝聚力；因此，在世界帝国的时代，更新我们对阶级意识的理解。

The project will situate County Durham during the year 1919 transnationally, exploring the global implications of Empire on British society through regional working-class consciousness. The research will resist the temptation to homogenize the working class(es) in County Durham, attending to its occupational diversity and test the utility of the contentious concept of the 'white working-class'. Using Bakhtin's conceptualisation of thought and language, it will consider the extent to which working people managed to overcome fault-lines in order to produce a sense of class cohesion within the region; thus, renewing our understanding of class consciousness in an age of world empires.
