'Shame makes the world go around.’ Morrissey and the gendered discourse of class disgust

'Shame makes the world go around.’ Morrissey and the gendered discourse of class disgust
(2014)
Power, Martin J.; Dillane, Aileen; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
Can popular music or an individual song text inform us about society and make us question dominant discourses in the political and public sphere? This article will argue that this is indeed the case, so while the mass media (in particular) provide the dominant codes (Hall, 1999) that most audiences effortlessly recognise and relate to, it is important to recognise that counter-hegemonic ideologies are also in circulation. In a society where hegemonic discourses are produced by the upper and middle classes, the capacity to articulate a contradictory narrative to the marginalised is aided by the ‘reach’ of popular music (Botta 2006, p. 123).

'Suing the Pope' and Scandalising the People: Irish Attitudes to Sexual Abuse by Clergy Pre- and Post-Screening of a Critical Documentary
(2009)
Breen, Michael J; McGee, Hannah; O'Boyle, Ciaran; Goode, Helen; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
This article is from Irish Communications Review and is available at http://www.icr.dit.ie
The Sexual abuse of children became a significant public issue in Ireland in the 1990s, with frequent media reports about the issue. In the main these focused on the issue of abuse of children by members of the clergy and religious orders. Headline cases included the abuse perpetrated by Fr Brendan Smyth, a priest of a religious order who was convicted of multiple counts of sexual abuse of children and subsequently died in prison, and Fr Seán Fortune, a diocesan priest, who committed suicide before his court trial for abuse. While child sexual abuse by clergy was widely exposed in the early 1990s, a subsequent additional scandal was the failure of the institutional Catholic Church to respond adequately to earlier complaints of abuse, and, in particular, to respond adequately to those who experienced abuse. As part of its response to the problem, the Irish Catholic bishops commissioned an ...

‘Sicherheit’: examining residents’ perceptions of community safety in working-class residential areas undergoing regeneration in Limerick City, Ireland
(2018)
Power, Martin J.; Haynes, Amanda; Devereux, Eoin; Barnes, Cliona
Abstract:
This paper examines the perceptions of residents’ in two housing estates in Limerick, a peripheral Irish city, on how (un)safety effects their day-to-day lives and is an intrinsic element in the production and reproduction of their urban territories. In focusing on these areas which are currently ‘undergoing’ the largest urban regeneration project in the history of the Irish State, our analysis provides new insights into the intersections between regeneration processes and (un)sicherheit. Significantly, our findings demonstrate that regeneration processes, often billed as enhancing community safety, can in fact contribute to destabilising the triumvirate of safety, certainty and security.

"Shame makes the world go around": performed and embodied (gendered) class disgust in Morrissey's 'The Slum Mums'

Dillane, Aileen; Power, Martin J.; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
Link to published copy; https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/music-as-multimodal-discourse-9781474264426/
This chapter explores how a pop song can become (and remain) a critical site for counter-hegemonic expression, through the creative manipulation of discursive, structural, sonic, and somatic elements. ‘The Slum Mums’, by popular music artist Morrissey, deals with the contempt felt for lone female mothers on welfare in the UK under the New Labour governments of the 1990s and 2000s. Rather than providing a straightforward critique of this ‘contempt’, Morrissey deftly creates a song whose meaning relies on the ambiguous interrelationship between the socio-political context, the lyrical content, and musical structure and sound as they relate to issues of gendered embodiment in particular. To this end, we locate our work within what might be understood as a social constructivist approach, leaning into scholars who argue for embodied perspectives. We argue that it is through ...

“You’ll Never Kill Our Will To Be Free”: Damien Dempsey’s “Colony” as a critique of historical and contemporary colonialism

“You’ll Never Kill Our Will To Be Free”: Damien Dempsey’s “Colony” as a critique of historical and contemporary colonialism
(2017)
Power, Martin J.; Dillane, Aileen; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
This article, through a musical, lyrical, and contextual analysis of the Irish recording artist Damien Dempsey’s song “Colony,” probes contemporary discourses concerning colonialism and postcolonialism. In presenting Dempsey’s work through this lens, we seek to interrogate how one singer employs protest song as a vehicle for social critique in a nuanced fashion. Our reading reveals different levels of meaning, in part dependent on contextual knowledge. Furthermore, the simple structure belies the complexity of the issues involved in any discussion of postcoloniality in Ireland and beyond, and because of this the song is rendered all the more potent and persuasive.

Abstract:
Immigration is a key feature in late capitalist societies, with some 20,000,000 displaced persons worldwide. This paper reports on coverage of refugees and asylum seekers in English-language newspapers worldwide, drawing on media content between 2003 and 2004. It analyses media discourse on refugees and asylum seekers across the world, with a particular focus on deconstructing negative coverage. Five dominant negative frames in international media discourses are identified. These themes are examined in the context of theories of racism and xenophobia to highlight their negative potential for displaced persons and attitudes towards them in their host countries. Theory is also employed to explore the potential utility of such negative narratives for the media and social elites. The work being presented here is part of a much larger research project being undertaken by the authors at the University of Limerick. (For preliminary findings see Devereux and Breen, 2003 and 2004).

Against the grain: counter-hegemonic representations of pre and post 'Celtic-Tiger' Ireland in the 'Protest' songs of Damien Dempsey
(2018)
Dillane, Aileen; Power, Martin J.; Devereux, Eoin; Haynes, Amanda
Abstract:
A renowned Irish journalist said that the heady rise and abrupt fall of Ireland’s ‘Celtic Tiger’1 economy, , made “Icarus look surprisingly boring” (O’Toole 2010, 10). In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, the Irish State effectively socialised the astronomical debts of private banks (McDonough and Loughrey 2009), which required a ‘bail out’ programme from the so-called Troika – consisting of the European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund and European Commission – to be put in place.2 Since then, the Irish public has been exposed to extensive, austeritydriven policies and a repetitive mantra from politicians and mainstream media that the protracted austerity programme pursued was vital if Ireland was to satisfy ‘the markets’, ‘reduce the deficit’ and ‘regain economic competitiveness’. Moreover, vulnerable groups have been scapegoated as parasitic on a system that, they argue, can no longer afford them or support their requirements in terms of housing, healthc...

Behind the headlines: media coverage of social exclusion in Limerick City - The case of Moyross
(2011)

Abstract:
In a media setting, and within the public mind, Ireland’s ‘Third City’ has acquired an intensely negative reputation over time. While there are many historical precedents for the maligning of the place’s image, it is generally agreed that the 1980s reached a new low within media practice with the ascription, in some media quarters, of the label ‘Stab City’ to Limerick. The blanket representation of Limerick as a place of crime, social disorder, poverty and social exclusion has continued and it has been amplified in recent years, particularly in the context of the feuds between rival drugs gangs, most of which have been played out in the city’s marginalized local authority estates such as Moyross, St. Mary’s Park, Southill and Ballinacurra Weston. Understandably, a variety of interest groups have expressed concern over the ways in which Limerick generally and marginalized areas in particular have been misrepresented by the mass media

Devils and angels: the ideological construction of poverty stories on RTE television
(1996)
Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
This thesis investigates how Radio Telelis Eireann (RTE) constructs television stories about poverty. Using a combination of critical content analysis and an ethnography of the production context of television programmes, the study examines poverty stories on factual, fictional and fund-raising television. The study begins with an account of how existing social science discourse has considered the phenomenon of poverty in the Republic of Ireland. It proceeds to examine the limited amount of debate about media coverage of poverty. The case for a largely qualitative methodological approach is then outlined. The main part of the study is an analysis of how poverty stories are constructed on RTE’s Six-One News, Tuesday File, Glenroe and the People in Need Telethon. Each of these four chapters consider the respective programmes in terms of their history, production context, the content of their poverty coverage, as well as a consideration of the ideology of that coverage. The study adopt...

Abstract:
In this article I wish to examine the issue of how the media portray the lrlsh poor with particular reference to the emergence of fund-raising or telethon television. This study Is part of a larger project which examines how the Irish national public service broadcasting organization, Radio Teiefis Elreann (RTE), portrays poverty and the poor through an examination of fund-raising television, factual television (news, current affairs and documentaries) and fictional accounts of poverty (television drama) over a twelve month period. My project represents a significant departure from the existing debate about poverty and the media in an Irish context in that previous research has almost exclusively focused on newspaper coverage of this question. In this article I discuss the emergence of charity television in Ireland; the form and structure of RTE's bi-annual telethon People in Need; I then discuss the messages about poverty and the poor through an examination of four filmed seg...

Explaining EU migrant workers: Irish political interventions

Abstract:
Since the expansion of the European Union Ireland has experienced a significant increase in the proportion of immigrants from EU states (Quinn 2010). Between 2002 and 2006 the fastest growing category apart from Irish or UK nationals, were EU nationals (6.6% of the population). Polish nationals numbered 63,300 while the number of Lithuanian nationals was 24,600 (CSO Census 2006). This trend continued in the period to 2009: “Between 2005 and 2009 an average of 44 per cent of the immigration flow and 54 per cent of the non-Irish immigration flow has been made up of nationals of EU States that acceded in 2004 together with Romania and Bulgaria which acceded in 2006” (Quinn 2010, 3). The 2006 Census showed that Dublin South City had the highest concentration of foreign-nationals anywhere in the state, with the figure standing at 18.7% of the total population. Of this figure, 9.3% were EU citizens

Fake news? A critical analysis of the `Welfare Cheats, Cheat Us All' campaign in Ireland

Abstract:
Using qualitative content analysis, informed by a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, this article examines the production, content and reception of print and online media discourses concerning the 2017 ‘Welfare Cheats, Cheat Us All’ campaign in the Republic of Ireland. Our article is situated in the context of recent debates concerning the media’s role in articulating ‘disgust’ discourses focused on ‘welfare fraud’, poverty and unemployment. Central to these processes is the social construction of those who are deemed to be the ‘deserving poor’ or the ‘undeserving poor’. Our corpus includes records of in-house debate within the Department of Social Protection; the campaign’s documentation; print media and on-line media coverage of the campaign. The article’s findings demonstrate the ways in which welfare ‘fraud’ is mis-represented by the state and media. It also evidences ways in which such hegemonic discourses can be challenged in traditional and ‘new’ media settings.

Abstract:
INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INDICATES that recessionary periods may be accompanied by a decline in the quality of relations between the majority population and migrant groups as the latter are at risk of being scapegoated for the economic downturn. In that context, political leadership on the matter of immigration is of crucial importance, with political parties having a key role to play in framing how the public understand immigration.1 This article is based on research which examined how politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland through an analysis of the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The article focuses on those statements relating to welfare and the economy, which were among a larger range of themes identified in the wider study.

Hegemony disguised: how discourse analysis is inadequate in the disclosure of the real locus of social control

Abstract:
The post-modern world is often characterised as being fragmented in a variety of ways. It is clearly a divided and unequal world. It is divided in ideological terms. It is divided in regional terms. It is divided in terms of those who have power and those who have little or no power. Unequal power relationships in terms of class, ethnicity/race and gender, to name but three examples, continue to persist, usually in combination. In postmodernity, the media continue to have a hugely significant role in manufacturing and disseminating dominant and other forms of ideology. Indeed, a critical political economy perspective would suggest that the ongoing processes of conglomeration in terms of media ownership and control have resulted in a narrowing, in ideological terms, of the range of voices and opinions heard and seen in a media setting. Against this point of view is a perspective that celebrates the power of audiences to resist and subvert the ideological content of media texts. Never...

Abstract:
This research study examines the manner in which politicians construct non-Irish EU immigrants to Ireland by analysing the content of statements attributed to this group in the print media. The decision to examine politicians’ statements made through the print media, rather than through government or party press releases was informed by a desire to analyse those statements which are most accessible to the public and therefore most likely to influence public opinion.
