"What have the Romans ever done for us?" Academic and activist forms of movement theorizing
(2002)
Barker, Colin; Cox, Laurence
"What have the Romans ever done for us?" Academic and activist forms of movement theorizing
(2002)
Barker, Colin; Cox, Laurence
Abstract:
We want to pose some questions about the relationship between social movements and 'social movement theories'. The questions reflect the sense of unease experienced by some 'academic intellectuals' who are also activists in movements, and the scepticism sometimes expressed by activists about the value of 'social movement theory.' Both of us having a foot in each camp, we share the unease.

"You're not a man at all!": Masculinity, Responsibility and Staying on the Land in Contemporary Ireland
(2012)
Ni Laoire, Caitriona
Abstract:
Rural Ireland, and in particular the agricultural sector, is undergoing significant restructuring, within the context of a rapidly urbanising society that has been radically transformed economically and socially in the past ten to twenty years. The decade since the mid-1990s in Ireland has witnessed an economic transformation, the reversal of emigration and unemployment, rapid urbanisation and suburbanisation, and the continued concentration of population in the urbanised East (Central Statistics Office, 2003). The importance of agriculture as an employer has declined and the rural economy has become more diversified (Frawley and O'Meara, 2004). Young farmers are at the centre of these rural restructuring processes, making decisions to become farmers or not in the context of competing pressures. The economic and social landscape of farming is undergoing transformation, in which the viability of farming as an occupation and as a lifestyle in modem Ireland is being reduced. This ...

“ One man one job ” : the marriage ban and the employment of women teachers in Irish primary schools
(2010)

“ One man one job ” : the marriage ban and the employment of women teachers in Irish primary schools
(2010)
Redmond, Jennifer; Harford, Judith
Abstract:
In 1932, the Irish government, facing an economic downturn, introduced a marriage ban which required that female primary school teachers were required to resign on marriage. This followed a series of restrictive legislative measures adopted by Irish governments throughout the 1920s which sought to limit women’s participation in public life and the public sector. Such a requirement emerged in several countries in response to high unemployment and applied principally to women’s white-collar occupations, leading some commentators to argue that it stemmed from a social consensus rather than an economic rationale. Despite opposition to the ban from the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) on the basis that it was unconstitutional, would lead to fewer marriages and that married women were in fact more suited to teaching children, it remained in place until 1958. Although the ban is much referred to as part of the gender ideology that informed legislation in the early years of inde...

“’Little Girls are Even More Perfect When They Bleed”’: Monstrosity, Violence, and the Female Body in Kristin Cashore’s Graceling Trilogy”
(2015)
Kennon, Patricia
Abstract:
This article examines concepts of humanity, monstrosity, and female agency in Kristin Cashore’s recent Graceling trilogy of fantasy novels for young adults. In particular, the teenage protagonists of Graceling (2008), Fire (2009) and Bitterblue (2012) struggle to resist and reconfigure their societies' conservative systems of prejudice, fear, desire, difference, and violence regarding “natural” and “unnatural” female bodily experience. Cashore’s trilogy interrogates traditional concepts of normal and aberrant female embodiment and offers thought-provoking opportunities for personal and collective transformation.

“A Taste in Pictures”: The Second Birth of Cinema in Cork

Condon, Denis
“A Taste in Pictures”: The Second Birth of Cinema in Cork
(2013)
Condon, Denis
Abstract:
Institutional cinema did not arrive fully formed to the city of Cork, Ireland, but was constituted there in the 1910s through the actions of picture-house proprietors, city councillors, clergy and the many ordinary people who make up the audience. Although this transformation in the city’s popular culture formed part of the internationally occurring “second birth” of cinema after 1910, cinema became an institution in Cork by integrating into the local culture defined by Cork’s unique institutional constellation. An account of the processes involved in the institutionalisation of cinema in Cork illuminates the growth of audiences and venues, how other entertainments were altered or displaced, and both local and regional conditions that encouraged, regulated and offered resistance to the new medium.

“Among the Most Catechised but among the least Evangelised”? Religious Education in Ireland
(2010)
Leahy, Brendan
Abstract:
It has been said that the Irish are the most catechised but among the least evangelised in Europe. This article examines the contemporary situation of religious education in Ireland with a particular focus on its ecumenical aspects. It begins by outlining the historical journey in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that led Ireland to the current situation. On that basis it considers some of the issues that have arisen in recent times that have seen a dramatic change in religious practice in Ireland. It explores the issue of the relationship of parish, school and family.

“Coloured” Pasts in Post-Apartheid South African Fiction: Slavery, Gender, and Anachronism
(2014)

“Coloured” Pasts in Post-Apartheid South African Fiction: Slavery, Gender, and Anachronism
(2014)
Harney, Theresa
Abstract:
This dissertation examines a set of novels concerned with the history of slavery, “coloured” identity and the politics of gender and sexuality in post-apartheid South Africa: Achmat Dangor’s Bitter Fruit, Anne Landsman’s The Devil’s Chimney, Rayda Jacobs’s The Slave Book, and Zoë Wicomb’s Playing in the Light. Each writer’s engagement with the history of slavery highlights discursive and material continuities between the colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid eras. By investigating, or making visible, figures of anachronism, these novels qualify the celebratory rhetoric of the “new” nation by pointing to the continued challenges facing the democratic state, particularly in relation to the social position of “coloured” women. In doing so, they challenge the narrative of progress implicit in the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which moves from the horror of the apartheid past to the multi-racial democracy of the “rainbow” nation. Representations of the female slave in...

“Doing the Job as a Parent”: Parenting Alone, Work, and Family Policy in Ireland

“Doing the Job as a Parent”: Parenting Alone, Work, and Family Policy in Ireland
(2012)
Bradley, Ciara
Abstract:
Recent studies of family life in Ireland have focused on changes in “traditional” family structures, including the increase in one-parent families. This article illustrates the impact dominant conceptions in Irish society that privilege the family based on marriage have on one-parent family policy. The authors focus on two key areas of social interaction associated with family life— parenthood and (un)paid work—to identify both congruences and tensions between social policy and the needs of one-parent families. The article draws on interview and survey data collected in Galway in 2007 to show how existing welfare policies create some opportunities for those parenting alone while at the same time perpetuating inequalities within the gendered family context and across multiple generations.

“Educate that holy hatred”: place, trauma and identity in the Irish nationalism of John Mitchel
(2001)
Kearns, Gerry
Abstract:
Many anti-colonial nationalisms incorporate a historical justification for independence. In the case of Irish nationalism, this historical argument has often drawn attention to traumatic historical events of conquest and famine. These traumas are blamed on the English colonisers. In this article, I explore some of the consequences of this particular way of tying together place and history in the service of nationalism. I argue that it can serve to deflect nationalists from detailed consideration of alternative futures towards a purely manichean critique of the past.

“Groove is in the Heart” A Postmodern journey through Dance Culture.
(2000)
Wynne, Gareth
Abstract:
Since its beginning back in the hazy days of 1988, dance culture has evolved not just as a musical genre but as a musical phenomenon. Its permutations have been prolific and its followers diverse and devoted. Perusing through the extant literature pertaining to past and present genres I noticed that they had one thing in common. Nearly all if not all were incorporated under the heading of ‘subculture’. Aside from the term’s deleterious connotations, I no longer feel that the concept is applicable and as such believe that it has outlived its welcome in academic circles. It is therefore my aim, to readdress this issue of subculture. In doing so I will suggest that dance culture is not the deviant aberration that many people believe it to be, but is in fact part of an ongoing musical tradition whose positive momentum is expressed through the dynamics of a group and music respectively. Using the Gramscian notion of hegemony, I will discuss the ways in which clubbers have attempted to ca...

“He who has the bigger stick has the better chance of imposing his definition of reality.” Assimilation and Integration: International Students in a Second Level School.
(2002)
Malone, Anthony
Abstract:
No builder of the seven great pyramids in the fourth Egyptian dynasty would have been more frustrated than the educationalist who attempted to construct a solid structure on a weak foundation. This metaphor succinctly captures the chagrin surrounding the present study. A number of works on the integration of international students in Irish education are completed but most of the important study has, to a large extent, concerned itself solely with third level. Others have been primarily theoretically driven, with little desire for ethnographic detail. There are one or two exceptions to the rule, but still there exists wide chasms in the research. Consequently, in broaching this subject, educators have either to by-pass certain complex issues or else admit dissimilar levels of ignorance. Various generalised texts on multiculturalism prevail although these are principally British or American in focus. Therefore, despite the presence of a large number of general texts a considerable vol...

“Hearts with one purpose alone”? Thinking personal sustainability in social movements
(2009)
Cox, Laurence
Abstract:
While attention is now being paid to emotions and personal sustainability in social movements, relatively little attention has been paid to difference between social movement situations or broader cultural contexts. This paper locates the question in the broader history of thinking about ordinary people’s political engagement since the French Revolution. It explores various literatures relating to the topic, arguing that emotional sustainability is only one aspect of personal sustainability in social movements. Using the example of WB Yeats’ response to the 1916 Easter Rising, it highlights the importance of locating this in place, time and culture. The paper offers a typological approach as a counter-strategy to the assumption of uniformity, focussing on difference in social situation, organising contexts and background cultures.

Dunne, Simon; Coffey, Laura; Gallagher, Pamela; Desmond, Deirdre
Abstract:
To explore the goal-related strategies employed by people following lower limb amputation using a framework based on the dual-process model of adaptive self-regulation. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 individuals with a lower limb amputation. Results: Theoretical thematic analysis identified four broad assimilative/goal pursuit strategies; internal resource use, planning, technology use and help use. The most common strategies were maintaining a specific leisure activity (n =20), seeking instrumental help (n = 15), and determination (n = 15). Three broad categories of accommodative/goal adjustment strategies were also identified; interpersonal accommodation, managing limitations and meaning-making. The most common were accepting limitations (n = 18), emotional support from friends and family (n = 17) and adjusting goals to constraints (n = 16). There was also evidence of strategies that combined the use of accommodative and assimilative strategies, and the ...

“In fair [Europe], where we lay our scene” Romeo and Juliet, Europe and digital cultures
(2017)
O'Neill, Stephen
Abstract:
This chapter explores several iterations of Romeo and Juliet in (European) digital cultures. Europe is placed in brackets here to capture how, in a digital context, boundaries may and may not apply, but also to complicate critical debate surrounding European Shakespeares. To what extent might we encounter a distinctly European Romeo and Juliet in digital cultures? Our field must think critically about the kind of European narratives, mythographies and values that are mobilised through Shakespeares in Europe. Travel and surfing are deployed as metaphors in order to track Europe’s Romeo and Juliets, with the resulting findings in the digital Wunderkabinett regarded as a function of both human selection and algorithmically determined search. While the focus is primarily on YouTube, what emerges is a deep sense of Romeo and Juliet’s convergence with popular culture, news stories and contemporary discourse about integration within Europe. In digital cultures, the chapter suggests, Romeo ...

“Is it useful to deceive the people?” The Debate on Public Information in Spain at the End of the Ancien Régime (1780–1808)
(2014)
Calvo Maturana, Antonio
Abstract:
During the eighteenth century, an interesting debate emerged in Spain regarding the advantages and disadvantages of informing the people or keeping them ig- norant of the affairs of state, as well as the question — if choosing the former op- tion — of whether to tell them the truth or manipulate them with lies. Although we may consider this to be a moral or philanthropic concern within the general context of the Enlightenment, for the absolute monarchs and the writers sym- pathetic to them the issue was primarily a question of state. What was the most effective means to govern?

“La revolución de los españoles en Aranjuez”: el mito del 19 de marzo hasta la Constitución de Cádiz
(2012)
Calvo Maturana, Antonio
Abstract:
Como todo nacionalismo, el español ha sido forjado con mitos y contramitos. El Motín de Aranjuez, episodio histórico que hoy conocemos como una intriga cortesana, no tuvo esa imagen en los años posteriores a 1808. Este artículo hará un seguimiento de los numerosos autores y políticos que consideraron el 19 de marzo como el inicio de la revolución en España. Esta efeméride tuvo tanto peso, que la Constitución de 1812 fue proclamada en su aniversario. Con esta coincidencia, los diputados de Cádiz no sólo homenajeaban a Fernando VII, también situaban a Godoy como símbolo de la tiranía. Según vayamos conociendo la evolución de este mito de corto recorrido y los motivos tanto de su adopción como de su abandono, buscaremos el contrapunto del Dos de Mayo, una fecha que siguió siendo conmemorada más allá de 1814 y que ha sido recientemente revitalizada con motivo de su segundo centenario. As all the nationalisms, the Spanish one is built through myths and anti-myths. The Mutiny of Aranjuez...

“Lessons learnt in developing a SDR Platform with USB interface”
(2008)
Sanchez Mora , Magdalena; Corley, Gerry; Farrell, Ronan
Abstract:
Building a new Software Defined Radio (SDR) system requires multidisciplinary research covering the engineering disciplines of communication systems, radio frequency, digital and analog hardware, software and digital signal processing. This paper focuses on the efforts at the low-level software development, such as device drivers, embedded source code at firmware-space and Application- Programming Interfaces (APIs) at user-space. In the early stages of constructing a SDR platform, design decisions are made regarding the interface between the SDR hardware and the PC. These decisions are of great importance and will determine the complexity of the low-level software development, its interoperability with third-party tools for waveform development and its efficiency in terms of bandwidth and configurability. This position paper reviews the experiences in using a USB interface between the PC and the SDR platform and the corresponding impact in the software development stage.

“Like travellers navigating an unknown terrain”: Seyla Benhabib on rights and the borders of belonging
(2006)
Todd, Sharon
Abstract:
Across many disciplines, including education, a certain love–hate relation has developed with globalization, swinging between hopeful exuberance and tragic lamentation, with many perspectives precariously balanced between the two. The particular contours of this relation have, of course, taken shape quite differently according to the specific issues arising out of the various disciplines, and have covered myriad issues such as the deleterious effects of global capital, the threats facing the natural environment, the opportunities afforded by information technology, the breaking up of the nation-state, and the hybridization of culture and identity, to name but a few. Not merely an academic matter, however, this focus on globalization has flourished in the context of current social movements and political policies that attempt to grapple with the broad range of conditions that mark civil life within and across borders.

“Man the fisher”: salmon fishing and the expression of community in a rural Irish settlement
(1981)
Taylor, Lawrence J.
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the significance of the summer salmon fishery of Teelin, a small coastal settlement in county Donegal, Ireland. Although not of great economic importance to most Teelin families, the salmon pursuit is the subject of considerable cultural attention, providing a source of communal and personal identity. An explanation for the disproportionate cultural strength of the fishery is sought in its contribution to the maintenance of the local community as a bounded social entity in a region where historical disincorporations have made the existence and nature of such communities problematic. The ways in which the interactional and experiential aspects of this fishery contribute to Teelin’s “local culture” are examined as a sample case of the relation between any such socially definitive activity and the structure of a local system of social relations or ideology.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the inter-organisational dynamics, in terms of the triggers to spin-off formation and the genealogical inheritance of spin-offs, between a parent characterised by an adverse event and the spin-offs that emerge. The study focusses on the nature of the triggering event, exploring the heterogeneous nature of the processes by which some spin-offs are formed to exploit new opportunities created unexpectedly by an adverse event, and on the genealogical inheritance that forms the pre-entry experience of the founder. Design/methodology/approach – A case study based on interview data with founders of spin-offs, supplemented with interviews with managers and industry experts, and with secondary data sources. The case study is of the spin-offs from a successful firm, Élan Corporation, reported to be the world’s 20th largest drug firm in 2002, that experienced an adverse event in 2002. The Élan case offers the opportunity to focus exclusively on...

“Sing Great Anna’s Matchless Name” Images of Queen Anne in the Court Ode
(2015)
Murphy, Estelle
Abstract:
The tradition of performing musical odes at the English court dates back to the early seventeenth century. These large-scale works for orchestra, solo vocalists, and chorus were presented before the monarch and nobility for special occasions, including martial victories, New Year’s Day, births, peace treaties, the monarch’s birthday, the monarch’s safe return from abroad, and so on. It was not until the late seventeenth century that the tradition of performing an ode at court began to solidify and become a biannual one, when typically the master of the music and poet laureate would provide a work in honor of New Year’s Day and the king’s or queen’s birthday. It is surely not by chance that the heyday of the court ode in England — ca. 1689–1714 — coincided with both the period of the monarchy’s greatest instability and the reign of Queen Anne. In the context of a monarchy that was weakened and thereafter ruled by Parliament, following the volatility of the Civil Wars, the regicide, a...
