Taking forward perceptions of identity: the Sea League’s campaign to protect maritime communities and the environment.
The Sea League was a significant but relatively short-lived movement of popular protest (1933-1939), active in the communities of the Outer Hebrides for the purpose of drawing the attention of government to deep concerns over island social and economic circumstances. Founded in the Island of Barra,...

Through its campaign, evidenced through its newsletter and surviving correspondence, the Sea League can be seen as propagating perceptions of identity in fishing communities in the Outer Hebrides based on commonality of interests and the threats to them from a wider society.

La Ligue Maritime fut un mouvement de protestation populaire important mais de courte durée (1933-1939), en activité dans les communautés des Hébrides extérieures afin d'attirer l'attention du gouvernement sur les problèmes profonds concernant la situation sociale et économique de la région. Créée sur l'Ile de Barra, son but était la reconnaissance politique et publique de la destruction de la pêche côtière et, par conséquent, la perte de revenus dans les communautés iliennes. A travers l'étude de sa campagne dont il reste la lettre d'information et de la correspondance, la Ligue Maritime peut être envisagée comme propageant les perceptions d'identité dans les communautés de pêcheurs des Hébrides extérieures grâce à des intérêts partagés et les menaces posées par la société au sens plus large. Cela a contribué à l'extension du mouvement bien que ses buts généraux ne furent qu'en partie atteints dans les quelque six ans de l'organisation dont la fin fut marquée par le début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les perceptions de l'identité engendrées par la Ligue Maritime ont continué à s'affiner par la culture et la langue des Gàidhealtachd, et ces communautés dans lesquelles la langue persiste s'engagent dans les débats actuels sur la crise du climat contemporaine et la conservation environnementale. Cette question qui mérite que l'on s'y attarde est soulevée afin de montrer l'importance du mouvement de la Ligue Maritime en ce qui concerne l'"écologie humaine" dans l'environnement marin. |
