revising my attitude to Scarfolk

Following a brief twitter conversation with @langrabbie and @owenhatherley about an old blog post I wrote on here : http://historytoday-navickas.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/brutalgie-whats-wrong-with-scarfolk.html, I'd like to revise what I said about Scarfolk, the fictional world invented by Richard Littler, https://scarfolk.blogspot.co.uk/ 

At the time (Jan 2015), I complained that it was a little too obvious in its satire, and that it didn't seem to have a political purpose. What has happened since that date and today has made me rethink this - now, each new post by Littler is deliberately and often sharply political. And a few times, the news breaks and you're left thinking 'this is too bizarre/cruel/shocking, even for Scarfolk'.  

It's still perhaps not as perceptive and deep as the 'fakelore' of Hookland, but Scarfolk has indeed become much more relevant and topical.

They argue that now that York's industrial economy is no more (chocolate and railways), York has remade itself round the past: an economy of tourism. Yet the past as presented to tourists and indeed to residents, is a sanitised and normalised history, centring round Vikings, medieval religion, and Georgian middle-class pleasures. The recent York 800 celebrations had no place for the popular protest and resistance that had a distinguished history in the city. I began the talks by explaining the context and meaning of the ...

Protest history workshop #3, Cheltenham, 2/3/13

TNA, PL 27/9 'Sarah Short refused to sign this Examination before me, R. Wright'. Manchester, 5 May 1812. TNA, PL 27/9. Charged with being at the Luddite attack on Burtons' powerloom mill at Middleton, Lancs, on 21 April 1812, this woman made a defiant act of resistance by refusing to sign the record of her examination by the Manchester magistrate Ralph Wright of Flixton Hall. But is this protest? Did it work? Can protest be individual? What is the difference between protest, collective action, resistance and opposition? can we include all types of opposition within the term 'protest'? These were questions we had asked at the first workshop on ' new approaches to the history of protest ' back in 2011, and returned to last weekend at the third workshop at the University of Gloucestershire. I started off the day with some reflections on the spatial turn in history (see extended version in my HWPP paper ) combined with some questions about th...
