Abstract

Welsh Studies as a cross-disciplinary field is growing both in Wales and beyond. Historians, sociologists, political scientists and others are increasingly collaborating in their study of the evolution of Welsh identity. This concept which was for so long monopolised and marked by a strong reference to the Welsh language and the importance of having an ethnic Welsh identity is now giving way to a more inclusive notion of what it means to be Welsh. Welsh identity has become a more open and inclusive notion since the institutional reforms brought about by devolution have anchored themselves in daily realities and subsequently in conceptual approaches to the problematizing of Welsh identity.Les études galloises constituent un nouveau champ inter-disciplinaire où historiens, sociologues, politologues etc., au pays de Galles même et au-delà de ses frontières, se rencontrent dans leur recherche sur l’identité galloise contemporaine. Les réformes post-dévolutionnaires ont induit des changements dans les comportements et les mentalités des Gallois, entraînant une évolution dans la définition de l’identité galloise. Cette nouvelle identité n’est plus définie par les critères ethno-linguistiques d’antan mais se situe plutôt dans une nouvelle aire où les notions de citoyenneté et d’inclusion priment.
