Northernness, Northern culture and Northern narratives are a common
aspect of popular culture, and the North of England, like other
Northernnesses in Europe, is a collection of narratives, myths,
stereotypes and symbols. In politics and everyday culture, Northern
culture is paradoxically a site of resistance against an
inauthentic South, a source of working-class identity, and a source
of elite marginalisation. This book provides a key to theorising
about Northernness, and a platform to scholars working away at
exposing the North in different aspects of culture. The aims of
this book are twofold: to re-theorise 'the North' and Northern
culture and to highlight the ways in which constructions of
Northernness and Northern culture are constituted alongside other
gender, racial and regional identities. The contributions presented
here theorise Northernness in relation to space, leisure, gender,
race, class, social realism, and everyday embodied practices. A
main thematic thread that weaves the whole book together is the
notion that Northernness and 'the North' is both an imagined
discursive construct and an embodied subjectivity, thus creating a
paradox between the reality of 'North' and its representation. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal for
Cultural Research.
