520 _aBy revisiting one of Mass Observation’s ethnographical studies, this article aims to provide an analysis of the forms of representation, “folklorization” and reappropriation of cockney culture at play in the Lambeth Walk dance craze of the summer of 1938. It examines the social circulations of the cockney, coster and Pearly King archetypes – from the music-hall play to the imitations enacted by dancers, and to the streets of Lambeth. Indeed, little scholarly attention has been given to the attitudes of Lambethians themselves to the representation of local culture, yet Mass Observation’s investigators’ fieldnotes offer rich insights on these issues.
