'Towards a Theorisation of the Historical Geography of Nationalism in Diasporas: The Irish Diaspora as Exemplar'
(2001)

'Towards a Theorisation of the Historical Geography of Nationalism in Diasporas: The Irish Diaspora as Exemplar'
(2001)
Boyle, Mark
Abstract:
The strength of diasporic nationalism is characterised by an uneven historical geography, with different diasporic communities functioning as ‘hotbeds’ of nationalism at different times. Mapping and explaining these historical geographies is of importance if the cultural and political experiences of diasporic existence are to be understood. It is towards a critical interrogation of the conceptual tools available to accomplish this task that this paper is dedicated. Based upon a reading of social scientific literature on the intensity of national affiliation among the nineteenth and early twentieth century Irish diaspora, and using Doreen Massey's recent advocacy of a new concept of ‘space–time’, the paper advances a case for a (re)theorisation of the phenomenon of diasporic nationalism. In so doing, it is hoped that it will contribute to ongoing efforts to (re)theorise migration in four main ways: firstly, by identifying a subject area that provides a forum for population geogr...

"<i>Diaspora</i> is a Greek word: Words by Greeks on the Diaspora"
(2016)
Frangos, Marina
Abstract:
The article explores the different types of the Greek Diaspora in the past 150 years and how these different types are identified in literary production. Following global diasporas’ theory and particularly Robin Cohen’s typology of victim, labour, trade, cultural and imperial diasporas, various literary works are cited by writers of Greek heritage from different countries to determine whether these different types of diaspora have been represented and presented to a global audience. The article adds to a better understanding of global migrant literature. Writers cited include Elia Kazan, Pulitzer-prize winner Greek American Jeffrey Eugenides and Australia’s Christos Tsiolkas.

American literatures of dislocation in the age of Cold War transnationalism

Miller, Benjamin A.
American literatures of dislocation in the age of Cold War transnationalism
(2018)
Miller, Benjamin A.
Abstract:
The thesis of this study is that American imperial power during the Cold War era irrevocably altered traditional modes of dislocation by reshaping the twentieth-century global terrain through the expansion of socio-political, economic, and cultural networks, thus changing how international travel and national identity are understood over time. The redefining of international experience has prompted categorical shifts of the conceptual and vernacular parameters of dislocation dependent upon the arrangements of international networks in accordance with Cold War coordinates. The ambivalence of subjectivity and autonomy characteristic of the dislocated perspectives of expatriatism, exile, and diaspora, and their production of narratives that explore the masking and unmasking of liberation and oppression embedded in nationalist discourse throughout socio-political, economic, and cultural domains, are symptomatic of these shifts. My examination focuses on selected literatures of dislocati...

Diasporas and ambiguous homelands : a perspective on the Irish border

Diasporas and ambiguous homelands : a perspective on the Irish border
(2010)
Howard, Kevin
Abstract:
Revised version of a paper presented at the workshop on “The Irish border in perspective”, Queen’s University, Belfast, 1 October 2004, as part of the programme Mapping frontiers, plotting pathways: routes to North-South cooperation in a divided island.
This paper proposes a diaspora framework as a useful way of conceptualizing the relationship between the kin-state and northern Irish nationalists. The formation of diasporas is generally understood as being a consequence of migration. People migrate across borders and construct communities in their host states while maintaining a strong sense of linkage with the nation’s homeland. The homeland is central to diaspora. However, homelands are political constructs the parameters of which fluctuate. I argue that members of the northern nationalist community are outside the political homeland of their Irish co-ethnics as a result of boundary drawing rather than emigration. The paper highlights the rapidity with which the southern poli...

Irish women in London: national or hybrid diasporic identities?

Irish women in London: national or hybrid diasporic identities?
(1996)
Gray, Breda
Abstract:
While culture, religion, and economics are frequently used to describe and theorize nationalisms and national identity, gender and migration are frequently overlooked (see Smith; Anderson; Gellner). Jill Vickers asserts that the lack of attention to gender relations in the formation of collective identity and the development of cultural cohesion has led to large gaps in the theorization of nationalisms. Nira Yuval-Davis asks why women are "hidden" in the various theorizations of nationhood, when women play such a central role in the biological, cultural, and symbolic reproduciton of nations. Women's guests for national identity and their complicity with many of the practices that uphold national identities are as yet unexamined (see Curthoys 173). Women's migration, movement, and identification with nation or place have, in my view, important contributions to make to our understanding of how national identity is produced and how it changes across and within natio...

Mary Anne Sadlier's emigrant narratives, 1850-1870

Mary Anne Sadlier's emigrant narratives, 1850-1870
(2013)
O'Keeffe, Yvonne Michelle Mary
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the life and literary works of Irish author Mary Anne Sadlier (1820-1903), specifically on her representations of the Irish diaspora in her emigrant novels in the nineteenth century. On the eve of the Great Irish Famine she emigrated to North America and so had valuable insight into the complex negotiations that emigrants must undertake in order to settle in their host country. A prolific writer with over sixty works to her credit, Sadlier enjoyed immense popularity as a writer as is reflected in her enormous sales figures. Thus, I would suggest that her writings represent the concerns of that audience. My work reads Sadlier in a specific “Irish” context as she engages in interdisciplinary conversations to do with Irish emigration and acculturation. Sadlier’s literary works encompass many themes not least how she creates and champions an Irish cultural identity for her emigrant readers who found themselves engulfed by a foreign culture and a hostile American r...

Recasting Diaspora Strategies Through Feminist Care Ethics Elaine L.E. Ho, Mark Boyle & Brenda S.A. Yeoh

Abstract:
The diaspora-centred development agenda holds that migrants lead transnational lives and contribute to the material well being of their homelands both from afar and via circular migration. Concomitant with the ascendance of this agenda there has arisen a new field of public policy bearing the title ‘diaspora strategies’. Diaspora strategies refer to proactive efforts by migrant-sending states to incubate, fortify, and harness transfers of resources from diaspora populations to homelands. This paper argues that diaspora strategies are problematic where they construe the diaspora-homeland relationship as an essentially pragmatic, instrumental, and utilitarian one. We suggest that a new generation of more progressive diaspora strategies might be built if these strategies are recast through feminist care ethics and calibrated so that they fortify and nurture caring relationships that serve the public good. Our call is for an approach towards state-diaspora relationships that sees diaspo...

Reframing Online: Ulster Loyalists Imagine an American Audience

Reframing Online: Ulster Loyalists Imagine an American Audience
(2012)
Ó Dochartaigh, Niall
Abstract:
This article examines one initiative aimed at taking advantage of new technologies to build new transnational connections between a political movement in the ¿homeland¿ and a diaspora population in the United States. It analyzes an initiative by Ulster loyalists in Northern Ireland to mobilize Americans of Ulster Protestant descent in support of their cause, while simultaneously attempting to undermine the American support base of their Irish nationalist opponents. By contrast with Irish nationalists, Ulster loyalists have never had significant support networks in the United States. This attempt to mobilize a distant diaspora has met with little success. This article argues that loyalist understandings of their imagined audience in the United States are built on a misleading caricature of Irish-American support networks for Irish republicans. These misunderstandings direct loyalists towards a strategy that places undue weight on the role of homeland propaganda in converting shared a...

Return migration from England to Ireland: the impact of accent on feelings of belonging

Return migration from England to Ireland: the impact of accent on feelings of belonging
(2010)
Joyce, Ann Marie
Abstract:
The advent of the ‘Celtic Tiger’ saw Ireland transform from a country with high levels of emigration to one of significant immigration. Many of those who migrated to Ireland in the past years are ‘returned migrants’; people who left Ireland, often to work in the UK, and have now returned ‘home’. In many cases they have brought their foreign-born children ‘home’ with them, and these ‘children’ are the focus of this study. This paper examines the impact that accent may have on feelings of belonging of the children of returned migrants from England to Ireland. The qualitative approach in this research is based on interviews with five participants; all of whom moved to Ireland, from England, at the age of ten years or older and are now adults. The research explores the ways in which accent has worked to either help them belong, or mark them as ‘outsiders’; and the findings and conclusions are drawn using a range of theoretical frameworks, such as theories around ethnicity, migration, di...

Volume 3: Sociolinguistics and/of Pidgins and Creoles
(2017)
Farquharson, Joseph T.; Migge, Bettina
Abstract:
There are multiple connections between Pidgins and Creoles (P/Cs) and sociolinguistics. They reflect the very nature of their inception as well as the fact pointed out by Rickford (1988), that many of the early and current researchers who have worked on P/Cs are also sociolinguists and have applied sociolinguistic methods and approaches to the study of P/Cs.
