Ireland: East and West

University of Zagreb, 23-24 September 2011

A conference organised by the Department of English, University of =
Zagreb in
association with the School of English, Trinity College Dublin.

Keynote Speakers

Prof. Nicholas Allen (NUI Galway)
Prof. W.J. McCormack
Prof. John McCourt (Universit=E0 di Roma Tre)

This conference will address the ways in which Central and Eastern =
Europe
has been represented in Irish literature and culture and the impact of
Ireland on the literatures and cultures of Eastern Europe. While chiefly
literary in focus, this is an interdisciplinary conference which will =
draw
in the work of cultural anthropologists, political and cultural =
geographers
and art historians. Papers will survey the literary and cultural =
relations
between Ireland and Eastern European countries and might address =
thematic
concerns such as:

=95 the writer in war and revolution
=95 religion, diversity and literature
=95 nationalist and anti-nationalist discourses
=95 artists and borders
=95 =91Celticism=92 and =91Balkanism=92
=95 modern Ireland in a transitional Europe
=95 contemporary Eastern European migration in Ireland
=95 the economy of translation between Ireland and Eastern Europe

As well as offering paradigmatic comparative analyses of modern Eastern
European and Irish cultures, individual papers might discuss the =
literary
and political treatment of Eastern Europe in the work of Irish writers =
such
as W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Hubert Butler, Seamus Heaney, Dervla Murphy =
and
Colm T=F3ib=EDn. Other topics that might be examined include: Eastern =
European
re-inscriptions of Joyce, the impact of Beckett on Eastern European =
theatre
and the place of Irish music in Eastern Europe. It is intended that the
proceedings will lead to a book publication.

Proposals for papers (250-300 words) should be submitted by 20 June 2011 =

Diasporas and conflict societies: conflict entrepreneurs, competing
interests or contributors to stability and development?
Conflict, Security & Development
Volume 11, Issue 2, 2011, Pages 115 - 143
Author: Jennifer M. Brinkerhoff [ show biography ]


Abstract
This paper summarises our state of knowledge regarding diaspora engagement
in conflict societies. It presents a map of possible diaspora contributions
and their specific potential positive and negative impacts in societies
experiencing or recovering from conflict. Following a discussion of
diasporas and their motivations for engagement in their places of origin,
the paper reviews the specific remittance, philanthropy, human capital and
policy influence contributions, both positive and negative, that diasporas
may make. Policy implications include the need more systematically to
include considerations of diasporas in conflict/post-conflict interventions,
and based on a more careful case-by-case analysis, using the provided map as
a starting point. Such analyses can inform decisions of when to tolerate,
unencumbered, diaspora engagement; when to facilitate or support such
engagement; and when to consider strategic partnering with diaspora efforts.
By mapping potential positive and negative influences of diasporas, the
paper establishes why a more nuanced understanding of diasporas and peace
and conflict is so important to policy and practice for a more peaceful
world.

MIME-Version: 1.0

Message-ID:

The articulate, if whispery, tv presenter Dan Cruickshank has a new series
on BBC television, about the country houses of the British Isles - a series
I have found not all that interesting, since it is mostly about the nobs.

That being said, I cannot recall anything on television like last night's
episode, about Lord Dufferin and Clandeboye. Cruickshank is a friend of the
family and clearly loves the house - he has access, and brings an art
historian's intelligence to displaying its records, financial and personal,
and its relics. So a fascinating exploration of the interlinked histories
of the house, Ireland and the British Empire.

The episode can be picked up on the BBC's web site, and the DVD of the
series will be out later this month.

P.O'S.

The Country House Revealed - Clandeboye

Dan Cruickshank visits Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, Co Down, which has
become a monument to the British Empire. The house is filled with relics
from Lord Dufferin's various travels, including stuffed bear cubs, Egyptian
monuments, tiger skins and weaponry from India, Canada and Burma, and has
remained relatively unchanged since his death in 1902

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011wpjf/The_Country_House_Revealed_Cla
ndeboye/

There are few other houses in Britain like Clandeboye - a monument to a man
whose life was like a Victorian fairy tale of adventure, and a monument to
the golden age of the largest and most far flung empire the world has ever
seen.

Clandeboye House and estate was, like the empire itself, an epic creation -
but unlike the empire, it still endures, a vignette of a now almost
forgotten age and surprisingly little altered since Lord Dufferin died in
1902.

The house is overflowing with relics from the empire and Dufferin's
aristocratic adventures - stuffed baby bears, Egyptian monuments, tiger
skins and weaponry from India, Canada and Burma to mention just a few, with
extraordinary photographic albums that document the collecting of these
unique 'souvenirs'. Clandeboye is a genuine treasure trove.

Hello all,

I am working for the Center for the Study of Migration and Exile
(http://www.cemeuned.org/) in Spain and I have started to compile a
list of institutes, centers, university programs, institutions and
associations that deal with the issue of migration.

My aim is to have all these places on the map so we can communicate
and possibly collaborate with them. I am specially interested in
Spanish and European centers, but it can be a wider range (the
Americas, Africa and Asia).

I thank you all in advance for your contributions to this enterprise.

Have you got the original source material for that? The Romans called
Ireland Hibernia and the Irish 'Scoti' and the island of Britain they
called Britannia - the earliest I have seen for 'British Isles' was
indeed political and was a term coined by a courtier of Henry VIII who
came up with the term when Henry was pushing for the title King of
Ireland. It fell into disuse and resurfaces again after the Act of
Union in 1800.

Abstract:

This article explores the form and function of the Bridget stereotype in
pre-classical American cinema. It argues that the character of the unruly
Irish maid-a grotesque inversion of nineteenth-century domestic and feminine
norms-was a cipher for underlying tensions at the heart of the new urban
middle-class family.

Emigration to Britain up 25% to almost 14,000, data reveals

JAMIE SMYTH, Social Affairs Correspondent

Tue, Jun 14, 2011

THE NUMBER of Irish people moving to live in Britain increased by 25 per ce=
nt to 13,920 last year.

It was the biggest increase in emigration in more than 10 years, new figure=
s indicate. The overwhelming majority of Irish people emigrating to Britain=
are between the ages of 18 and 34, with London by far the most popular des=
tination.

The number of Irish citizens registering for national insurance numbers to =
work or claim benefits in Britain rose steadily from 9,510 in 2006 to 11,05=
0 in 2009. The 25 per cent increase last year reflects high unemployment an=
d the severity of the recession, emigrant groups said yesterday.

New figures published by the department for work and pensions in Britain un=
derscore the fact that young people are by far the most likely to emigrate.=
Some 6,130 Irish citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 and 5,730 Irish ci=
tizens between 25 and 34 registered for national insurance numbers in 2010.

Just 1,260 people between the ages of 35 and 44 registered to work or claim=
benefits in Britain.

A detailed breakdown showing the number of registrations by Irish citizens =
in each British local authority shows the single highest number, some 690, =
in the city of Edinburgh in 2010.

However, several local authorities in London recorded over 300 registration=
s by Irish citizens last year.

These were: Wandsworth (390); Islington (320); Lambeth (370); Tower Hamlets=
(320); Brent (300) and Ealing (320).

The figures show 7,340 men and 6,570 women with Irish citizenship registere=
d for national insurance numbers in 2010.

Crosscare Migrant Project, an organisation that provides support and advice=
to emigrants, said the new figures for 2010 represented the first big indi=
cator of significant increased emigration to Britain as a consequence of th=
e recession in Ireland.

=E2=80=9CIn many ways it is not surprising considering the proximity, lack =
of visa requirement, lack of cultural boundaries, lower unemployment rate a=
nd the size of the British economy that Irish people are emigrating to the =
UK,=E2=80=9D said Joe O=E2=80=99Brien, policy officer at the migrant projec=
t.

He said London remained a big attraction for Irish people looking for work =
abroad and added that those considering emigration to Britain should prepar=
e thoroughly before leaving, even though it was a neighbouring country.

=E2=80=9CWe would still warn people to prepare carefully, bring back-up fun=
ds or access to funds and do your research before you go,=E2=80=9D he said.

Britain is the single most popular destination for Irish people emigrating.

Between 2002 and 2010 some 83,160 Irish citizens registered for national in=
surance numbers.

As Britain and Ireland share a common travel area, the only way to track em=
igration flows is by following the registration of national insurance numbe=
rs by Irish citizens. These numbers enable Irish citizens to work, claim be=
nefits and study in Britain.

The movement of migrants in and out of Ireland and other 'peripheral'
European states is part of a complex pattern of transnational and =
circular
flows of migration, marked by changing patterns of migrant origins and
destinations, globalised processes of dis/investment, changing =
life-course
transitions, the remodelling of national and international labour =
markets
and rapidly shifting European regional dynamics. In this context, how =
can we
make sense of the re-emergence of mass outmigration from certain EU =
states?
And how are narratives and discourses of migration being re/shaped in =
the
national imaginaries of contemporary EU societies?

In this symposium, we draw together emerging perspectives on recent
outmigration flows from, and return flows to, three European states -
Ireland, Portugal and Poland - raising questions about the place of
'emigration' in contemporary European societies.

Programme:
Recent trends in Portuguese emigration toward European countries

Over the years the Irish Diaspora list has followed the unfolding saga of
the Magdalene Laundries - and certainly the manner of that unfolding demands
reflection. Some members of the Irish Diaspora list are involved in the
Justice for Magdalenes (JFM) campaign - and we have been asked to bring the
campaign to the attention of the list.

The most significant new event is the finding, earlier this month, of the UN
Committee Against Torture (UNCAT) - a web search will find much comment.

There is currently a Justice for Magdalenes (JFM) email and social media
campaign.

JFM welcomes UN Committee recommendation for statutory inquiry and redress
for Magdalenes, prosecution and punishment of perpetrators

On Monday, 6 June 2011, the UN Committee Against Torture (UNCAT) issued its
"Concluding Observations" following the first examination of the Irish State
under the UN Convention Against Torture. The Committee reiterated its calls
for an independent investigation into the Magdalene Laundries abuse and
redress for the women who suffered. It also recommended that the State
"prosecute and punish the perpetrators with penalties commensurate with the
gravity of the offences committed."

Justice for Magdalenes (JFM), the survivor advocacy group, is now calling on
the Irish State to act immediately on foot of UNCAT's recommendations and
issue a formal apology to all survivors of the Magdalene Laundries and
immediately establish a statutory inquiry into these abuses.

celebrated throughout the world with marathon readings of James Joyce's
landmark novel:=A0
Ulysses=A0(NY: Random House, 1934; jacket design / page layouts, Ernst

first-ever Bloomsday. See links, below, for my flyer on the event and =
for a
notice by the bookstore sponsoring this little gala.=A0

I'll hope to see some of my Florida colleagues and associates in =
Sarasota
this Thursday. The agenda will include a few readings from=A0Ulysses=A0; =
general
commentary & discussion ; and in order to hear the sound of Irishmen
speaking and singing at this time, recordings of Joyce reading from his
novels and some songs by Joyce's favorite tenor: John McCormack. =A0=A0

In the spirit =A0~
