French, Geraldine
Abstract:
This background paper Children’s early learning and development, sets out the theory and research underpinning children’s early learning and development in the Framework for Early Learning. The paper essentially responds to the question - how should we envision and understand the child as a young learner? The paper begins by outlining the context for early childhood care and education in Ireland by referring to our economic and social climate, the increasingly multicultural nature of society and relevant legislation and policy. Drawing on centuries of research, the modern day view of the child is one of him/her being a competent learner, capable of making choices and decisions; a young citizen and participator in many contexts (family, early childhood setting, community and society); actively learning in reciprocal relations with adults and other children. This new construction of childhood is oriented towards the child’s present rather than his/her future. Building on this image of...

Heavy Metal Rituals and the Civilising Process

Heavy Metal Rituals and the Civilising Process
(2010)
Sinclair, Gary
Abstract:
<p>Following an empirical qualitative study which incorporated semi-structured depth interviews and participant observation it was found that heavy metal fans in Ireland use heavy metal music in a similar fashion. Initial data suggests that the heavy metal fans are drawn to the excitement of the music because of their anger towards the repetitiveness and routinisation of popular music and their own everyday lives and social relationships. The music provides a cathartic release for the fans. The live event is a unique structure where fighting and violence can occur in what is seen as a „controlled de-controlling of emotions‟. This is subject to external controls such as the pace of the music, security, and internal controls with the unwritten code of behaviour facilitating the survival of the mosh pit. It is argued that the distinctive configuration of the heavy metal ritual does not represent an example of a de-civilising process but is indicative of a more complex progression...

Irish mobilities

WICKHAM, JAMES JOHN RUFUS
Irish mobilities
(2007)
WICKHAM, JAMES JOHN RUFUS
Abstract:
The ‘mobility turn’ in sociology challenges our easy equation of ‘society’ with a given territorial area. The chapter begins by examining the arguments involved, pointing out how much sociological theorising about ‘fluidity’ (e.g. Bauman) shares common assumptions with the extreme free market globalisation writers (e.g. Freeman). Using arguments from the sociology of technology, it is argued that we need to examine how new mobilities are created and also constrained, the uses that actors make of them and the consequences of such usage. This approach allows us to link the study of migration with the study of other forms of mobility, to examine the origins of mobility within social structure and the impact of mobility on social structure. The chapter then briefly reviews the extent to which conventional indicators show an expansion of mobility within and to/from Ireland: personal car ownership, air travel, migration. Against this background it discusses four different examples of mob...

Abstract:
<p><strong>Holiday Home, Sweet Home: </strong></p> <p><strong>A Phenomenological Approach to </strong><strong>Second Home Living in Ireland</strong></p> <p>This study constructs a phenomenological account of the second home living experience in Ireland, exploring the interactions between the everyday home life and the holiday home life of the second home owner. It is contextualized by a critical review of the relevant literatures on post-modernism, cosmopolitanism, home and second home living. The thesis utilises a package of participant-centred qualitative methodologies (including in-depth interviews, audio diaries and participants’ photographs) in order to produce a fine-grained insight into their experiences of second home living.</p> <p>The fieldwork consists of two phases, the first based on in-depth interviews with second home owners and the second based on a further series of in-depth interviews dr...

A software process engineering approach to improving software team productivity using socioeconomic mechanism design
(2010)
Yilmaz, Murat; O'Connor, Rory
Abstract:
Software development involves teams of interconnected individuals who are encouraged to work collectively in a knowledge and communication network to produce software artifacts. At the social level, the interactions of these participants and their ability to cooperate are important for improving the productivity of teams and organizations. Soft- ware development is a knowledge and human intensive activity. It is therefore not surprising to discover that recent contributions in software development have repeatedly asserted the critical role of people in software development efforts. However, existing approaches to software development fail to fully exploit the importance of social and intellectual capital that has been highlighted in the fields of economics and sociology. Leveraging the existing approaches from economics and sociology and applying to software development can assist software organizations in maximizing their return on investment. For example, by applying one such appr...

Smart Growth: A Buffer Zone Between Decentrist And Centrist Theory?
(2006)
Sirr, Lorcan; Stewart, Dorothy; Kelly, R
Abstract:
<p>The context for planning at the turn of the 19th century, in a newly industrialized world, was based on the need to find solutions to overcrowding and dire urban conditions. Planning decisions made in the post-World War II period were primarily motivated by the desire to reconstruct war torn cities. The forces of influence for planning and development in modern advanced capitalist societies are arguably set within the context of sustainable development. Many developed countries have witnessed a dramatic change in their territorial structures. Urban centres are extending into rural areas and surrounding hinterland, where large tracts of land are being developed in a ‘leapfrog’ low-density pattern. Urban sprawl is the outcome of both statistical realities such as population growth and the psychological catalyst that ‘quality of life’is superior in the suburbs. This change has brought with it challenges commonly associated with unpredicted growth: traffic congestion, restricte...

Any which way but loose: social partnership and the law in Ireland
(2003)
Doherty, Michael
Abstract:
This paper seeks to assess the experience of the social partnership era in Irish industrial relations (IR). It will focus on the implications for unions and IR actors generally of the distinctive mix of voluntarism and institutionalisation represented by the social pacts, where a ‘problem-solving approach designed to produce consensus’ has been adopted, and an open-method of coordination, emphasising ‘soft’ regulation rather than hard law has been preferred to a Continental approach relying on laying down specific rules and procedures. Section 1 explains how Irish IR actors have attempted to shift from the Anglo-Saxon model of IR to a more Europeanised model, highlights the legal position of Irish trade unions and outlines briefly the form and content of the SPAs (Social Partnership Agreements) to date. Section 2 will then show how the SPAs represent a new form of public policy making and administration, based on ideas of soft law and deliberative democracy. Finally, we will look a...

Pleasure and meaningful discourse: an overview of research issues
(2000)
O'Connor, Barbara; Klaus, Elisabeth
Abstract:
The concept of pleasure has emerged as a multi-faceted social and cultural phenomenon in studies of media audiences since the 1980s. In these studies different forms of pleasure have been identified as explaining audience activity and commitment. In the diverse studies pleasure has emerged as a multi-faceted social and cultural concept that needs to be contextualized carefully. Genre and genre variations, class, gender, (sub-)cultural identity and generation all seem to be instrumental in determining the kind and variety of pleasures experienced in the act of viewing. This body of research has undoubtedly contributed to a better understanding of the complexity of audience activities, but it is exactly the diversity of the concept that is puzzling and poses a challenge to its further use. If pleasure is maintained as a key concept in audience analysis that holds much explanatory power, it needs a stronger theoretical foundation. The article maps the ways in which the concept of pleas...

Contradictory transformations: observations on the intellectual dynamics of South African universities
(2009)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
What sort of expectations of transformation of higher education have been aroused by liberation movements? Has the new South Africa fulfilled such expectations? This paper explores the promises and processes that have enveloped South African universities in recent decades. It focuses on the underlying assumptions shaping academic disciplines in the humanities, the debates contesting them and the social-political-economic movements encompassing them. It traces the impact of marxism, africanism, postmodernism and neoliberalism on the production of knowledge. It concludes that South African universities are caught up in a complex field forces where they are subject to conflicting pressures. The result is a state of contradictory transformations – one stemming from the politics of liberation and the other from the demands of the global market.

A 'manual on masculinity'? The consumption and use of mediated images of masculinity among teenage boys in Ireland

A 'manual on masculinity'? The consumption and use of mediated images of masculinity among teenage boys in Ireland
(2005)
Ging, Debbie
Abstract:
Most of the research on masculinity in Ireland stresses the influences of family, work and education in the construction of gender (Ferguson, 1998; Ferguson and Synott, 1995; Ferguson and Reynolds, 2001; McKeown et al., 1998, Owens, 2000). Although the impact of the entertainment media is regularly alluded to, there is a dearth of empirical work in this area. While it is generally agreed that mediated images play a highly influential role in young people's lives, both the nature and the scope of this influence remain unclear in the absence of concrete ethnographies of reception. This paper discusses the findings of a quantitative and qualitative investigation into Irish male teenagers’ consumption and reception of a broad range of media texts and discusses these findings in relation to the relevant literature. It points to the shortcomings of both 'hypodermic needle' theories, which claim direct media influence, and of some active audience theories, which posit consum...

Irish television drama: a society and its stories
(2004)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
This book is a social history of Ireland seen through its television drama. It begins with the introduction of indigenous television in Ireland with the launch of RTE in 1962. It traces 25 years of Irish society in a process of social transformation and analyses the role of television drama in a struggle to define the nature of that process. It probes television drama in terms of its deep structures, in the context of the total flow of television and of the larger panorama of social experience. It charts the changing patterns of representation of gender roles, moral codes, class conflict, rural-urban tensions, religious belief, political power, domestic life, emigration, education and republicanism. It is a comprehensive account of plays, series and serials. It scrutinises the assumptions underlying them, the power structures surrounding them and the controversies set off by them.

The continuing story of Irish television drama: tracking the tiger
(2004)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
Irish Television Drama: A Society and Its Stories appeared in 1987. It traced 25 years (1962-1987) of Irish society in a process of social transformation and the role of television drama in a struggle to define the nature of that process. This book is a sequel to that, advancing the story another 15 years (1987-2002). From Fair City to Family to Father Ted, it examines television drama in the time of the tiger, striving to come to terms with the flux of Irish life in an increasingly globalised world, in a time of significant changes in the climate of broadcasting and its structures of storytelling.

Soap opera and social order: Glenroe, Fair City and contemporary Ireland.
(1993)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
How far can contemporary Ireland recognise itself in Glenroe and Fair City? To what extent do its characters, settings and storylines testify to the temper of the times? What relation do these serials bear to the lives we lead? This paper will look at Ireland's two running television serials in terms of the larger pattern of social experience. It will query both the presences and the absences in their representation of contemporary Ireland. It will explore the soap opera form in terms of its potential for imagining Ireland in a more expansive and penetrating fashion. It will draw strong conclusions about the failure of existing serials to fulfill this potential.

Abstract:
This paper examines historical images of the unity of science and makes a case for a contemporary conceptualisation of this project for our own times. It argues that, to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge, it is necessary to have an adequate and appropriate philosophy. This paper outlines the parameters of such a philosophy.
