'Croke Park goes Plumb Crazy' Gaelic Games in Pathé Newsreels, 1920–1939
(2015)
Crosson, Seán; McAnallen, Dónal
Abstract:
From the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, and over the next two decades, arose great efforts in Ireland to augment political independence from Britain with enhanced cultural separation. During this period the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) enjoyed a boom in numbers of players and supporters, thus confirming hurling and Gaelic football as the definitively Irish national games and the association itself as the most popular mass movement for the expression of independent Irish identity. Yet paradoxically, given the popular association of Gaelic games with Irish independence, nearly all footage of these games from that time was produced by foreign companies with a strong British bias. This article will focus primarily on the coverage of Pathé, a leading newsreel company in this period, through an examination of the content of relevant films in the online digital archive of British Pathé, and will explore the conditions of their production and reception in Ireland, inclu...

'Race', Nation and Belonging in Ireland

'Race', Nation and Belonging in Ireland
(2011)
Mitchell, Jonathan
Abstract:
Despite consistent efforts to counteract those attitudes and practices that give rise to it, most putatively modern Western nations continue to experience the concrete effects of racial discrimination. This essay argues that nationality is all too easily conflated with ‘race’ or ethnicity, such that a seeming essence or givenness is manifested amongst all those within a particular geographic boundary. It is suggested that on the contrary, there is nothing natural about nationality as commonly understood; this being so, it must be continually shored up and reconstituted through social, linguistic and material practices. For modern nations in the West, this has often entailed the marking or identification - racialisation - of non-nationals and non-white ‘Others’. A logic of inside/outside subtends the concept of nation wherein such Others are the ‘constitutive outside’ that invisibly clarifies and reinforces the status of those within. Nation, then, tacitly asserts and valorises its o...

'The god of our small world': Art O'Brien and Irish nationalism in London, 1900-1925
(2018)
Mac Diarmada, Mary
Abstract:
This thesis uses the life of Art O’Brien (1872-1949) as a central axis on which to construct an analysis of Irish nationalism in London from 1900 to 1925. Born and reared in London, O’Brien became a leading member of the Gaelic League, Sinn Féin, the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Irish Self-Determination League of Great Britain. His career as an electrical engineer placed him at the centre of the London business milieu and he was a key mobiliser of the Irish community. Appointed London envoy of Dáil Éireann in 1919, he was a close confidant of Michael Collins throughout the War of Independence. He was also a mediator in various peace initiatives during 1920 and 1921 and introduced de Valera to Lloyd George at their first meeting in July 1921. Following O’Brien’s rejection of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he became embroiled in various financial disputes and suffered a spectacular fall from grace. He has been a neglected figure in the historiography of the I...

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The internationalisation of higher level education and the profiles - nationalities, ethnicities and cultural identities - of students who migrate to undertake higher level education programmes in a different country are increasingly complex. This article explores the way in which cultural backgrounds impact the student’s experiences of an international medical school, and how these experiences have the potential to inform the development and design of student support services for those students who are not coping well with the transition.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Thirty one first year students were interviewed by sixteen second year students who were trained and supervised by an experienced researcher.

‘Catholic schooling with a twist?’: a study of faith schooling in the Republic of Ireland during a period of detraditionalisation
(2019)
Byrne, R. (Richard); Devine, Dympna
Abstract:
The role and impact of religion and faith based schools are increasingly debated within a wider context of school reform, rights and plurality in multi-ethnic societies. Ireland represents an interesting case study internationally because of the extent to which Catholic education is structurally embedded as normative across the education system. Yet, Ireland is in a process of detraditionalisation and wider societal changes are occurring. Drawing on Bourdieu and Bernstein, and a mixed methodological study of Catholic secondary schools in one archdiocese, we present a typology of Catholic schooling in transition. This identifies a continuum of Catholicity (from strong to weak) among our study schools that is mediated by dynamics of social class in an increasingly competitive and diverse system. We argue this has implications for considering the role of a recontextualised model of Catholic faith schooling, underpinned by principles of social justice in a multicultural and more secular...

"From Here to the Rest of the World": Crime, class and labour in David Simon's Baltimore
(2013)
Sweeney, Sheamus
Abstract:
Despite the systemic societal critique apparent in The Wire, David Simon rejects the label of marxist. However he defines himself, he is worthy of analysis as a dramatist, by virtue of the relative coherence of the left-leaning arguments expressed within his work. This thesis explores, and attempts to define this worldview, through analysis of three dramas based in Baltimore, Maryland. Homicide: life on the street and The Corner are based on books of narrative journalism,respectively authored and co-authored by David Simon. The books also inform the narrative of The Wire. I attempt to track the worldview expressed through their intersecting representations of crime, class and the nature of work. All dramas are critiqued from the perspective of textual analysis rooted in literary and television studies, and influenced by, but not limited to, left critical theory. As a secondary thread, I consider the historical and political economic context of US television, and limitations placed...

"Une représentation une fois pour toutes et pour toujours"? Un cirque passe de Modiano et Des gens qui passent de Nahum
(2012)
Cooke, Dervila
Abstract:
Cet article analyse les aspects les plus réussis du film d’Alain Nahum Des gens qui passent (2009), en tant qu’adaptation fidèle à l’esprit d’Un cirque passe (Modiano, 1992). Nahum réussit à créer « le climat Modiano » à travers une attention aux personnages, aux objets, aux couleurs, et à la lumière, entre autres procédés. L’article analyse également des transpositions et des résonances – surtout avec l’univers modianien mais aussi avec Godard. La disparition qui est au cœur de l’histoire est cependant plus complexe dans le roman, et l’aspect familial est moins complet dans le film. Nous analysons ces pertes à travers l’idée de dédoublement. Nous nous penchons également sur la présence importante, quoique subtile, des années noires dans le texte, aspect moins appuyé dans le film. Le poids symbolique du chien, absent du film, est examiné, ainsi que la présence des voitures et du cirque. Suivant l’exemple de Morris (2000) et de Nettelbeck (2006), les techniques cinématographiques du ...

“Ambiguous State of Being”: identity construction in contemporary Arab-American (post-9/11) poetry
(2016)
Baz Radwan, Omar
Abstract:
This study examines poetry written by Americans of Arab descent and the manifold ways in which ―national identity construction and belonging in terms of Race, Cultural Politics, and Feminism are portrayed in the discourse of various prominent, contemporary Arab-American poets. Using literary imagology as a methodological tool, the study investigates the various representations of identity/alterity expressed in these works. As such, the primary focus of the study is on the image of the Arab community in post-9/11 America, and the various cultural concerns of the spected community as portrayed in the literature (i.e. from an aesthetic, subjective perspective). Moreover, this study addresses the subsequent tensions and exilic notions encountered in contemporary Arab-American poetic discourse in its attempt to redefine and invalidate the image of being Arab, and by extrapolation, Muslim, in America after the incidents of the 9/11 attacks. This research focuses on sociopolitical readings...

“Mirror, mirror, here I stand”: the representation of women in the Vietnamese translation of Irish chick lit
(2016)
Nguyen, Nhat Tuan
Abstract:
The present study investigates the translation of the representation of women in Chick Lit written by Irish writers. The study makes use of a set of Irish contemporary women-centered fictional texts written by Marian Keyes, Cecelia Ahern and Cathy Kelly and their Vietnamese translations. The research argues that the representation of women in the translations is a synthesis of paratextual elements, cultural references, and cultural gender-behaviour norms associated with women. Applying the framework of Descriptive Translation Studies and using Toury’s (1995) coupled-pairs method, the research aims to investigate the translation of the representation of women in Chick Lit in Vietnamese translation and observe the translation strategies used in the translation process. The translated representation in this thesis was analysed from the Vietnamese concept of Four Virtues namely diligence, self-representation, speech, and courtesy. This approach has revealed subtle differences between th...

(Still) Up to No Good: Reconfiguring Worker Resistance and Misbehaviour in an Increasingly Unorganized World

Abstract:
The way industrial conflict and worker resistance have been analyzed has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of traditional forms of employee resistance, others have highlighted the diversity and range of more informal employee behaviours. Following Peetz (2002), we show six distinct forms of worker resistance in response to three overlapping de-collectivizing employer strategies. We locate the trajectory and significance of these employer strategies and subsequent forms of worker resistance in a neglected consideration of institutional and industrial context. The implications for the way worker resistance and misbehaviour is analyzed and theorized in an increasingly non-union world are discussed. The paper indicates the need to consider the importance of institutional factors in reassessing potential delineations between what are considered formal (and often collective) indicators of conflict, and ...

A ‘republic of learning’: Bulmer Hobson, nationalism and the printed word
(2016)
Hay, Marnie
Abstract:
It all began with a love of books. Bulmer Hobson (1883-1969), one of the earliest chairmen of the Whitechurch Library Committee, is best known for his career as an Irish advanced nationalist leader between 1900 and 1916. Hobson’s lifelong love of books is a thread that links his early attraction to the nationalist movement to his future involvement with the Whitechurch Library and other activities related to the printed word. In addition to co-founding such advanced nationalist organisations as the Dungannon Clubs, Na Fianna Éireann and the Irish Volunteers, he was also a leading figure in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and Sinn Féin. However, his disapproval of what he considered to be an untimely rebellion in 1916 and his evasion of arrest in the aftermath of the Easter Rising helped to scuttle what appeared to be a promising political career in an independent Ireland. After the Rising, Hobson worked in book publishing before becoming a civil servant. In his spare time he ...

Abstract:
This study investigated the cross-cultural differences and similarity in health behaviors between Saudi and British adolescents. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted at four cities in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Al-Khobar; N = 1,648) and Britain (Birmingham and Coventry; N = 1,158). The participants (14–18 year-olds) were randomly selected using a multistage stratified cluster sampling technique. Measurements included anthropometric, screen time, validated physical activity (PA) questionnaire and dietary habits. The overweight/obesity prevalence among Saudi adolescents (38.3%) was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than that found among British adolescents (24.1%). The British adolescents demonstrated higher total PA energy expenditure than Saudi adolescents (means ± SE = 3,804.8 ± 81.5 vs. 2,219.9 ± 65.5 METs-min/week). Inactivity prevalence was significantly (p < 0.001) higher among Saudi adolescents (64%) compared with that of British adolescents (25.5%). The propo...

A cross-cultural study of humour in magazine advertising
(1993)
Browne, Deirdre
Abstract:
This thesis looks at the fascinating issue of cross-cultural differences in the perception and portrayal of humour in magazine advertisements, with specific reference to Ireland, Germany and Austria. The primary objective of this research is to investigate whether the way people perceive humour in advertising is conditioned by culture and/or gender. The secondary objective is to analyse the portrayal of humour in specific current magazine advertisements. It is hoped that the research will be of value for academics and practitioners in the cultures under investigation and will form the basis of further research in this field. By way of introduction, the thesis attempts to define the concept of humour and discusses three of the most popular theories of humour. This is followed by a review of the existing literature and studies on humour m advertising which, on the whole, have concentrated on the effectiveness of humour and have yielded far from consistent results. This overall review...

A discourse analysis of interactions from an online pro-anorexia forum
(2013)
Ascari, Manuela
Abstract:
My research takes a look at the phenomenon of pro-anorexia websites by focusing on conversations from a public pro-anorexia forum. There is pressure on health experts and Internet hosts to oppose this controversial phenomenon because of the concern, shared by experts and lay people alike, that these websites encourage eating disorders and provide a dysfunctional, anti-recovery type of social support to those who are struggling with this problem. However, to conceive of these online spaces as yet another manifestation of a psychopathology is to overshadow the socio-cultural context in which the phenomenon has emerged, which includes: the silencing of the experiences of eating disordered individuals and their stigmatization as irrational or mentally disturbed; the dynamics of socialization and community-building in an increasingly online world; and, crucially, the fact that, in Western societies, a concern with dieting and thinness is not exclusive to women with an eating disorder, bu...
