‘After the Celtic Tiger’, Irish Social Science Platform Conference
(2008)

Abstract:
The four National University of Ireland Universities have offered a diploma in rural development to adults experienced in, or concerned about rural development since 1996. The diploma initiative arose from a government report on the needs for education and training for the development of rural areas. The universities acted upon the Creedon Report (1993) and offered a 60 credit two-year distance learning diploma in 11 separate themed modules. Over 400 people have completed this diploma since 1996 and have gone on to impact on their local communities, develop careers, develop enterprises, and impact on rural development policy. By 2004 the universities were able to launch a follow on degree. This degree completed by distance learning in two years, (following the diploma), has graduated almost 80 people in the last four years. This paper draws on research completed by two graduates of this degree. These graduates, with support from a summer research programme within NUI Maynooth, soug...

‘And bright was the flame of their friendship’ (Empedocles B130): humans, animals, justice, and friendship, in Lucretius and Empedocles

‘And bright was the flame of their friendship’ (Empedocles B130): humans, animals, justice, and friendship, in Lucretius and Empedocles
(2008)
Campbell, Gordon
Abstract:
This paper argues that Lucretius exploits a significant doctrinal overlap between his two most important influences, Empedocles and Epicurus, in his account of the domestication of animals. Like Empedocles (although for different reasons), the Epicureans were vegetarians; like him, they regarded friendship as the basis for society. Empedocles argued that in the golden age there existed a naturally occurring state of friendship between humans and animals. Although Epicurus and his followers disagreed with this theory, there are Epicurean sources that strongly suggest that they themselves thought of the first societies as being founded on friendship pacts made between both humans and animals.

"A world turned upside down" a study of the changing social world of the landed nobility of County Meath, 1875-1945
(2001)
Dooley, Terance
Abstract:
Certainly it [one's life-story] cannot be written inpersonally. If one were to keep the teller out of it, it would be like a room without a fire, a book without a heart. Because it is a life. I make no claim for it, or excuse for it; but for those whom it interests, this is how we lived. And no one certainly will ever live like that again. [Lady Fingall, Seventy years young.] The above quote comes from the memoirs of Lady Elizabeth [Daisy] Fingall, which were published in 1937. She was born seventy-one years before, in 1866, the eldest daughter of George Burke of Danesfield in County Galway. In 1883, after something of a whirlwind romance, she married Arthur Plunkett, 11th Earl of Fingall, when she was just seventeen years old. Her memoirs essentially cover the period from the late 1870s to the late 1930s. As a social document they offer a valuable insight into what she herself rightly describes as "the twilight years" of the Irish landed class. Most particularly t...

"Citizenship Matters": Lessons from the Irish Citizenship Referendum
(2008)
Mancini, J.M.; Finlay, Graham
Abstract:
In 2004, by constitutional referendum, Ireland revoked the automatic right to citizenship by territorial birth (jus soli). This event is of great significance in Europe, where consequently there is no longer a single nation that grants unrestricted territorial birthright citizenship to people born within its borders, and also represents a trend toward the revocation of jus soli within nations governed by the common law tradition. But the Irish Citizenship Referendum also invites comparative analysis with the United States, where jus soli is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, due both to the historical and contemporary links between the two nations and the presence of contemporary pressures to undermine jus soli in the United States that are similar to those that resulted in the Irish Citizenship Referendum. In this article, we discuss both the importance of U.S. practice for the normative discussions surrounding the removal of jus soli as an automatic qualification for citizensh...

"Greening" the City? Artistic Re-Visions of Sustainability in Bogotá

"Greening" the City? Artistic Re-Visions of Sustainability in Bogotá
(2010)
Till, Karen E.
Abstract:
In many countries, urban renewal, as tied to the rhetoric of sustainability, has led to proposals to “green” the city. When tied to a development logic, the complexity of urban places become reduced to two-dimensional mappings of absolute space: lots, peoples, and landscapes are classified as blighted and threatening to the body politic. In this article, I focus on creative visual practices that challenge such a model of urbanization and provide alternative spatial imaginaries of the city. I examine two artistic interventions in Bogotá: Prometheus, a collaboration with former residents of El Cartucho and the artistic collaborative Mapa Teatro from 2001–2003; and Auras Anónimas (Anonymous Auras) by Beatriz González, unveiled in 2009. Both projects animate the messy complexities of place in a city marked by violence, where any historical narrative and hegemonic vision of urbanism is subject to question and doubt.

"Harmonies and Disharmonies": Derek Mahon's Francophile Poetics

"Harmonies and Disharmonies": Derek Mahon's Francophile Poetics
(1994)
Tinley, Bill
Abstract:
Derek Mahon's poetry is strikingly electric. His work is formally adroit, philosophically and politically aware, intellectually and emotionally shot through with a wide and sympathetic knowledge of international and, in particular, European art. Mahon has produced fine versions of Horace, Ovid and Pasternak;"Courtyards in Dreft" is a meditation on a painting by de Hooch while many of his best poems engage the work of such figures as Hamsun, Hopper, Brecht, Uccello, Munch and Wittgenstein. Yet, for practical and temperamental reasons, the art and literature of France exercise the most enduring and substantial influence on Mahon's poetry

"He's My Country": Liberalism, Nationalism, and Sexuality in Contemporary Irish Gay Fiction
(2004)
Cronin, Michael
Abstract:
This article analyzes the representation of gay men in contemporary Irish culture through readings of novels published since 1993 by gay-identified authors Tom Lennon, Keith Ridgway, Colm TóibÃn, and Jamie O'Neill. It explores how representstions of gay men have been used to preserve a liberal political conscenus in the face of the widening gap between rich and poor created by the forces of a globalized free market. Before engaging in textual analysis of these novels, therefore, the article situates them within the political and cultural currents of contemporary southern Ireland. This context includes the history and achievements of the lesbian and gay political movement, but more widely, the prevailing liberal consensus as it responds to social and economic change, to the dominant global order in the current phase of captalism, and to the history of Irish nationalism.

"It Is Requir'd You Do Awake Your Faith" Reader-Response and the Gospel of St Mark
(2004)
Cosgrove, Brian
Abstract:
Wholly lacking in the kind of experience and expertise which the specialist theologian would possess, it is with some trepidation that a student of English enters into unknown territiry and embarks on a literary-critical approach to the gospel of St Mark. One may, however, take courage - and one's cue - from Frank Kermode's statement in the "Preface" to The Genesis of Secrecy, where he suggests that "the gospels need to be talked about by critics of a quite unecclesiastical formation". He later claims that literacy critics, although secular, are nonetheless "the heirs of the exegetical and hermeneutic traditions" and, as such, they "should be allowed their secular say on the cardinal texts" (Kermode 15-16). In what follows, I shall in fact be making significant use of this fine study by Kermode, although I hope to strike out in a different direction.

"Learning is my Prescription": Adult Education and Mental Health Recovery
(2010)
Rooney, Marie
Abstract:
Mental health recovery is a process of gaining in autonomy and of moving towards social inclusion rather than marginalisation, towards an agentic role rather than that of ‘patient’. Recovery involves an individual and internal journey, but also requires the existence of external triggers and opportunities. The provision of opportunities to participate in education can be a crucial factor in recovery for many people with mental health difficulties and is an important equality issue. This is an emancipatory study grounded in a participatory and constructivist approach. It discusses the history and landscape of education provision for mental health service users and in particular explores the experience of learners with mental health problems in adult and further education through individual semi-structured interviews. Focus groups of mental health service users, discussions and interviews with education and mental health service staff and visits to sites of inclusive practice provide ...

"Nun, Married, Old Maid": Kate O'Brien's Fiction, Women and Irish Catholicism
(2009)
Tighe-Mooney, Sharon
Abstract:
The settings of Kate O’Brien’s novels span late nineteenth early twentieth-century Ireland and are concerned with the lives of middle-class women. This thesis argues that O’Brien’s rendering of the interiority of the bourgeois family and the inner lives of middle-class women, reveals a site of the public discourse of Church and State. O’Brien’s representations of female characters are analysed through the framework of the Family, as well as the social, cultural and religious background of this period, focusing particularly on the influence of Catholicism on women’s roles as wives and mothers in Irish society. O’Brien provided a powerful dramatisation of the lives of women that were determined by the particular modes of femininity advocated by Irish society and Church teaching, as specified by Church writings, especially Papal encyclicals, on woman’s role in the family. Catholic Social Teaching edicts on women’s roles in the family were incorporated into the 1937 Irish Constitution, ...

"Outlines of a world coming into existence": Pervasive computing and the ethics of forgetting
(2007)
Dodge, Martin; Kitchin, Rob
Abstract:
In this paper we examine the potential of pervasive computing to create widespread sousveillance, that will complement surveillance, through the development of lifelogs; socio-spatial archives that document every action, every event, every conversation, and every material expression of an individual’s life. Reflecting on emerging technologies, life-log projects and artistic critiques of sousveillance we explore the potential social, political and ethical implications of machines that never forget. We suggest, given that life-logs have the potential to convert exterior generated oligopticons to an interior panopticon, that an ethics of forgetting needs to be developed and built into the development of life-logging technologies. Rather than seeing forgetting as a weakness or a fallibility we argue that it is an emancipatory process that will free pervasive computing from burdensome and pernicious disciplinary effects.

"Revelation and Faith"
(1997)
Leahy, Brendan
Abstract:
This article offers a reflection on faith in terms of our way towards God within the greater way of God towards us. It outlines how in the paschal mystery we discover how God is the Way in which we move and live and having our being (Acts 17:28) and faith is the response of dynamic participation in a trinitarian logic of love. The article addresses how the Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasises the role of witness and charisms as important for evangelisation and catechesis, preaching and ministry, today.

"The Field Day Anthology" and Irish Women's Literary Studies
(2003)
Kelleher, Margaret
Abstract:
The recent publication of volumes 4 and 5 of the field day Anthology of Irish Writing presents a timely occasion for a review of women's literary studies and an assessment of their influence in Irish studies. Indeed the contested status of these volumes from their very inception - objected to by some as wrongly separate in their focus on female representations, and by others as not separate enough, given their placement under the Field Day "umbrella" - should, at the very least, have brought increased attention to the issue of women's studies more generally. Yet, with the exception of some individual critics, Irish studies as a discipline remains singularly ill-informed of (and by) the debates and concerns that have occupied Irish feminist criticism in the past decade. Meanwhile feminist critics, and those working in the field of women's writings more generally, have themselves moved slowly to a more public airing of these preoccupations and to their arti...

"The interests of the movement as a whole": response to David Harvey
(2010)
Cox, Laurence
Abstract:
Structural analysis has many merits. It enables us to agitate effectively, to make the links between the immediate problems people experience and the broader power relations which cause them. It can give us intellectual – and, these days, academic – credibility. It can even, when linked as in David Harvey's work to uncovering elite strategies, convince readers or students that the current situation is not written in the stars, and so by implication that it can be changed. Yet I find myself wishing more and more – as an Irish activist and as one involved willy-nilly in global politics – that somewhat fewer of our comrades had invested so much of their time and energy in structural analysis, and (in particular) that fewer of them had invested their professional or political identity in it to the point where they believe it is possible to read off the movement situation from a "bird's eye" view of reality.

"We Will Always Be One Step Ahead of Them" A Case Study on the Economy of Cheating in MMORPGs
(2010)
De Paoli, Stefano; Kerr, Aphra
Abstract:
Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) are a sub-sector of virtual worlds that share with other worlds the characteristics of both complex technological systems and complex societies. The success of several MMORPGs makes them a vibrant area for research from different points of view, including their economic aspects (Castronova, 2005). Our research is mainly concerned with the practice of cheating in MMORPGs and its consequences. In this paper we explore the economic dimensions of cheating in MMORPGs as they relate to the business activities of companies that offer cheating software, in particular programs called 'bots'. Specifically, we address the following question: "How do cheating practices shape economic interactions around MMORPGs?" We characterize the economy of cheating (as it is carried out by cheating companies) as an answer to breakdowns in the relationship between cheaters and cheating companies (Winograd and Flores, 1987; Akrich, 19...

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.
