The Irish Diaspora list has discussed this issue a few times - the earliest
I can recall was in 1999, when the question was posted by Peter Holloran,
following a discussion with his students.

The most substantial answers were by Peter Gray and Kerby Miller.

I will post these answers to the Ir-D list as a new message, so that people
can see what was said then.

I do not know of any systematic new study of the question - there are
mentions of fish and fisheries in Mokyr and in books by Cormac O Grada, but
these do not add materially to Peter's comments and Kerby's comments.

What HAS changed in the intervening years is the development of Google
Books. So that it is now easy to read many of the original texts - for
example Dufferin's mention of fishermen pawning their boats and nets,
Narrative of a journey from Oxford to Skibbereen, p 13.

Then you can track the discussion, such as it is, over the century and a
half. Details are picked up from the original texts and used to illustrate
a point - landlord oppression, gallant rebellion. But I have never seen a
substantial scholarly discussion.

Where there is discussion is in fiction about the famine, and in studies of
that fiction. For example Karen Macnamara, "The Potato Eaters" has a little
section labelled 'Why didn't the Irish just fish?', in a study of writing
for children - see Critical approaches to food in children's literature By
Kara K. Keeling, Scott T. Pollard, 2008.

This does not add much to the discussion, but it does show that the
questions continue to be posed.

Can the list point me to recent historical scholarship on the Irish fishing
industry during the years of the Great Famine?

There seems to be a lot of opinionated jabber about this on a variety of
Internet pages, but I think I have seen some solid research on the matter.
Just trying to recall where.

'Why didn't the Irish fish' is one of the most frequently asked
questions about the Famine. There are a number of answers, but by far
the most important can be summed up in one word: capital.
Sea-fishing requires capital in the form of boats, nets and the
wherewithall to maintain these. It also requires markets, as the
fisherman must sell most of his catch in normal times to renew his
capital, and in pre-Famine Ireland to purchase the cheaper and more
regular foodstuff that supplied the bulk of his and his family's
subsistence needs - the potato.

Fish was a luxury food for Irish peasants in the pre-Famine period,
and one of the first to be abandoned when the potato failed from
1845. On the west coast markets for fish (a highly perishable good)
did not extend beyond the immediate locality - and consequently the
fishing trade was small scale, using small inshore craft (curraghs)
and was highly seasonal. When fishermens' incomes collapsed from 1845
the natural reaction (their 'survival strategy') was to pawn their
equipment and abandon maintainance to maximise the money available
for purchasing grain or potatoes. No doubt public works schemes
appeared a more reliable source of income than risking their lives in
the winter storms of the north Atlantic for a catch that nobody could
buy. In addition to this, it appears that the seasonal migration of
herring in the Atlantic shifted in the later 1840s to a range beyond
the capabilities of small open boats.

A number of philanthropic groups during the Famine (including the
Quakers) did attempt to revive fishing my offering loans to unpawn
the boats and buy netting materials, but as most of them realised,
this was useless without the additional creation of markets,
transport links and fish processing - and these attempts to create a
fishing infrastructure took some time and considerable effort to
create. They had marginal impact during the Famine itself.

One way in which marine life could be harvested and consumed without
capital investment was the use of shellfish or edible seaweeds on the
shorelines. Contemporary reports speak of whole areas of the west
being stripped of this in the course of 1847 - unfortunately it was
not a sustainable resource.

The conclusion is clear, in the absence of the potato, only an
effectively distributed and price-controlled (or free) supply of
foodgrains could have stemmed the worst of the famine. Except for the
spring of 1846 and the brief soup kitchen regime of summer 1847 the

despite the widespread availability of grain on the international
markets from spring 1847. Fishing could offer only the most marginal
addition of foodstuffs during the crisis, and the structure of the
Irish economy rendered it largely irrelevant.

pages 211-232

Abstract
There is a growing body of research in racial and ethnic studies on the
processes of identity construction within minority ethnic populations. =
This
article seeks to build on this work by analysing emerging collective
identity formations in an 'invisible' minority ethnic group. Based upon
focus groups and in-depth interviews with Irish people in Sheffield, the
article aims to advance three key arguments. First, the concept of =
community
is central to an Irish collective identity, but is negotiated in a
multiplicity of ways. Second, Irish collective identity has been shaped =
not
only by demographic differences but by shared experiences of =
non-recognition
and stereotyping. Third, there is a simultaneous assertion of an Irish
identity running parallel with a perception that the 'traditional' Irish
community may have to re-invent itself in response to changing =
demographics
at the local level. The paper concludes by considering the implications =
of
these arguments for an understanding of Irish ethnicity in multicultural
Britain.

.and the market created the student to its image and likening. Neo-liberal
governmentality and its effects on higher education in Ireland


Abstract

The article looks at two important documents in the context of education
policy in Ireland: the Higher Education Authority's Strategic Plan 2008-2010
and the Government's report, Building Ireland's Smart Economy. It
demonstrates how the entrepreneurial student is fabricated out of particular
truths told about the present and the obligations that flow from this.
Utilising governmentality theory, it examines the reconstruction of
students' subjectivities by focusing on three dimensions of government:
rationalities, technologies and ethics. It concludes that higher education
is framed in economic terms and other important aspects of education such as
criticality, solidarity and social engagement are undermined in our race
towards economic progress.

Abstract or Introduction
Copyright law represents a cultural bargain: to encourage creativity,
authors are granted time-limited monopolies over tangible expressions of
their creative works. The incentive to create is thus balanced against =
the
general public good, which includes the value of a healthy intellectual
commons. This intellectual property bargain has now been =
institutionalised
internationally through trade treaties and national and international =
laws.
In the case of traditional cultural expressions, though, the bargain =
appears
to fall down. First, there seems to be no evidence that creativity =
within
most traditional cultures is or has been contingent upon the granting of
such monopolies for exploitation. Second, in the case of traditional
cultures, concepts such as =93author=94, =93expression=94 and =
=93creative work=94 can be
extremely slippery. Third, the concept of creativity within many =
traditional
cultures does not automatically support the idea that cultural artefacts =
are
in fact created by individual authors. Using Irish traditional music as =
an
example of a community-based traditional art form, I show that authors
create new expressions within such cultures only through the implicit or
explicit engagement with other cultural actors. As such, the concept of =
the
single =93author=94 within such cultures is problematic, and leads =
inevitably to
a discrediting of the traditional discourse of intellectual property
regulation. I also show that even the seemingly fixed expressions of =
such a
traditional culture are =93fixed=94 only in the most local sense--in an =
oral
rather than literary culture, ideas are continuously reused and remixed =
in
extremely mutable ways. As a result of this finding, the process of
creativity must be re!examined in such contexts in order to support a =
more
appropriate formulation of the intellectual property bargain.

LANGUAGES OF EXILE: MIGRATION AND MULTILINGUALISM IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY
LITERATURE (working title)

This book-to-be aims to examine the relation between geographic and
Linguistic border crossings in the context of twentieth-century exile
Literature. Its focal point will be the mark that the widespread
Experience of exile left upon the literary languages of that epoch: if
The writer in exile must necessarily confront the fact of linguistic
Difference, literature can be read as the site where such
Confrontation is played out aesthetically. Literary writing, in other
Words, becomes the point of intersection between native and acquired
Language, between the indigenous and the alien, between self and
Other, in a complex bi- or multilingual dynamic specific to the
Situation of exile. In the last century, this position of the exile
Writer has been conditioned not only by wars, repression and
Persecution but by a new literary horizon with universal or
Transnational claims to validity. Through language and creation, the
Alienating experience of exilic loss can thus potentially be
Transformed into a paradoxical homecoming.

The essays will address a number of interrelated examples: exile
Writers who continue to work in their native tongue, which is altered
Or influenced by the alien context; exile writers who take the leap
Into another language, in part or completely, and thus bring the
Experiences of their own language across into a foreign one; exile
Writers who cope with (or take advantage of) the confrontation with a
New language and its literature through the practice of translation;
Exile writers who mix multiple languages in their work and thus create
A literature that resists translation by sprawling across linguistic
Borders. New light will be shed upon these literary situations through
Concepts developed in contemporary theory of exile and transnational
Literature, including world literature, translation theory,
Post-colonialism, literary space, flight and deterritorialization.
Contributions focusing on theoretical concepts and historical examples
Are equally welcome.

Prospective contributors are asked to submit an abstract of ca 500
Words no later than September 1, 2011. The abstracts will be reviewed
During the first weeks of September, and the deadline for the complete
Essays will be early 2012. Please send your abstract and your current
Academic affiliation by e-mail to axel.englund[at]littvet.su.se and
anders.olsson[at]littvet.su.se.

Subject: 100th anniverary of the Home Rule Bill

I was wondering if anyone knew of any conferences, edited collections etc
organised for next year to mark the 100th anniversary of the third Home Rule
Bill. Should the response be negative, I would be keen to organise a
conference here in Toronto, with a view towards putting together a
collection of essays. Would anyone else out there be interested? The fallout
from the Bill in different parts of the Empire would be especially
interesting. I am working on Ireland's place in the debate over free trade
and tariff reform, so my own input would be along those lines.

Looking forward to hearing what might be in store for us Home Rule Bill
enthusiasts in 2012.

Title: Brian Friel: Theatre and Politics

Author: Anthony Roche

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan

Brian Friel is widely recognized as one of the greatest contemporary
dramatists writing in the English language. This is the first book-length
study to draw on the Brian Friel Papers in the National Library of Ireland:
the numerous drafts and revisions of the plays, the author's notes,
correspondence, etc. These help to provide a deeper awareness of the
radical, experimental nature of Friel's dramaturgy and a more nuanced
understanding of the plays' politics in relation to both Northern Ireland
and the Republic. The book covers the entire span of Friel's career and its
twenty-four original plays, from the late 1950s to the present. It addresses
such central topics as: Friel and the role of the director; negotiations
between the past and the present; the operation of fantasy; the politics of
space; and the interplay of memory and history. The book deepens and extends
our understanding of Friel's achievement and will be an invaluable guide to
students of theatre and drama, cultural and Irish studies.

ANTHONY ROCHE is an Associate Professor in the School of English, Drama and
Film at University College Dublin. Recent publications include The Cambridge
Companion to Brian Friel (2006) and a second edition of Contemporary Irish
Drama (2009).

'Tony Roche has contributed so much to contemporary understanding of Irish
drama and theatre, and this volume adds substantially to these
contributions. For scholars of Irish letters, reading Brian Friel Theatre
and Politics will become both an immense pleasure and a necessity.'

Education, Indiana University, USA

"Povertiresque": The Representation of Irish Immigrants in
Nineteenth-Century America
Mikayo SAKUMA*

CONCLUSION
During the Civil War, Irishmen found themselves elevated to "white" status,
in most cases prior to improving their conditions of poverty. The
transformation of the situation, however, was not caused by an upsurge of
Irish nationalism. Nor did the Irish immigrants suffer the racialist
extremities of extermination like Indians or slavery like blacks. Irish
immigration can in part be examined through the complexities of white
intercultural encounter, and through the socioeconomic construction of
racial stereotypes. 31 Nativism's negative image of Irish immigrants-poor,
rustic, and weird-is both preserved and countermanded in the textual ironies
of Melville and Thoreau. Irish immigrants' way of life could be viewed as
having a multicultural value caused by the subversion of cultural values.
Their representations of the poor interrogate the economic exclusionism
affecting all racial and cultural minorities in antebellum America and
foreshadow the multicultural awareness of the next century.

Valparaiso: Translation and Irish poetry

Anne Markey

Abstract
This essay explores the history of one particular poem, =93The Ship=94 =
by Oliver
St John Gogarty, first published in English and translated into Irish by
P=E1draig de Br=FAn in 1918, before considering the findings of a more =
general
study of translation of poetry into Irish in the decades following the
introduction of the Constitution of Ireland in 1937. This exploration
reveals that, within a colonial context, translation from an imperial
majority language into the minority native language can constitute an =
act of
cultural appropriation in which the usual unequal power relationship =
between
those languages is effectively reversed through the invigoration and
elevation of the mother tongue. Within a postcolonial context, =
translation
continues to foster creativity in both the majority and the minority
languages, while translation from other minority languages promotes the
survival of linguistic diversity, and so disrupts the continuation of =
the
unequal power relationships, linguistic and otherwise, that underpin
imperialism.
