Abstract
This article investigates intersections between legal and literary =
discourse
in Ireland in the early 19th century, and explores how judicial tropes, =
in
particular that of an =93alternative judiciary=94, shape perceptions of =
Irish
identity as well as cultural expression. Whilst Ireland and the Irish =
were
typically characterized as lawless, this article examines the ubiquitous
presence of alternative legal systems, focusing on the writings of =
Thomas
Moore (1779=961852) and William Carleton (1794=961869). These =
representations,
and the questions of authority and legitimacy that they provoke, are
considered within critical debates about the development of literary =
forms
in Ireland, and the inherent relationship that legal alterity evokes =
between
textual and judicial authority.

the equivalent of a paywall, a published academic book.

More and more they insist on some kind of open access publication - like
OAPEN. See link below...

Reflections on process sociology and sport: 'walking the line'

p 852
'This collection of work, spanning more than two decades, allows me the
opportunity to reflect - both on my own experiences and on the development
of the sociology of sport. I begin with a more sombre and some might feel
bleak tone, and conclude by restating the importance of the subject area,
which has sustained my interest in - and determination to safeguard the
status of - the sociocultural study of sport. In fact, my interest goes much
further back than the two decades covered by this collection. It was in 1975
that I first read books on the sociocultural study of sport. Two books stood
out and captured my imagination. Locating them in the library, Paul Hoch's
Rip off the Big Game: The Exploitation of Sports By the Power Elite and Eric
Dunning's edited work Sociology of Sport made me stand stock still. I simply
could not put them down: the polemical style of Hoch's work engaged me and
Dunning's collection of papers provided me with my first taste of the
sub-discipline.1 I use the phrase 'walking the line' to capture aspects of
this experience and development. The term captures both the marginality of
the subject area and the somewhat precarious experience this has engendered.
Issues of relevance to, involvement in and detachment from sociology and
from sport are part of what I have in mind. In my case, these issues, and
the dynamics associated with the marginality of the sub-discipline, have
been compounded by an adherence to a sociological perspective, process
sociology, which has also had to contend with a marginal status...'

p. 855
'...Reflecting on this body of work made me realize that such work was not
only an attempt to explore sport worlds, but also my world. 'Walking
the line' has also entailed making sense of my Irish identity, of the
tensions and problems associated with being one of the diaspora while living
in the UK and in the context of a rapidly changing world...'

In 1851 Ireland was in the sixth year of a major famine. According to the
census taken that year, the country's population had been reduced by nearly
two million during the previous decade through a devastating combination of
mortality and emigration. The sesquicentennial of the "Great Hunger" in 1995
has significantly advanced knowledge of the social, political, economic,
cultural, anthropological, and transatlantic implications of the Famine.
Debate about policy and culpability continues to engage academics even as
popular culture remains consistent in its comprehension and condemnation of
what happened in Ireland between 1845 and 1851.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the Famine memorials that have been
erected around the world. There are more than eighty, in places such as
Dublin, Liverpool, Quebec City, Toronto, Sydney, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia, and New York City, where Irish people scattered to survive
physical, emotional, and financial ruin. Sculptural works in bronze
predominate in those locations-usually Celtic crosses or coffin ships that
reference the Catholicism of the majority of the victims or the folklore of
harrowing passages, and gaunt, haunted figures inspired by Illustrated
London News sketches that have been in circulation for more than 150 years.
The predictability of the imagery-now practically a certificate of
authenticity-is indicative of the way the Famine has been reduced to
shorthand, behind which lies generations of processing its trauma in the
diaspora, usually through silence.

The Irish Hunger Memorial in New York City is an exception...

Reading Visual Art Rural Ireland:=20
The Inside Story
Vera Kreilkamp

From 10 February to 3 June 2012, the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston
College will present Rural Ireland: The Inside Story. Gathering art and
artifacts from the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries, =
the
exhibition offers a selection of paintings and drawings that depict how
ordinary Irish families farmed, prepared food, arranged their homes,
produced textiles and baskets, worshipped, mourned, conducted business,
educated, and entertained themselves. The Inside Story complicates
assumptions that late eighteenth-and nineteenth-century Irish artists,
dependent on the patronage of an elite public, painted primarily =
landscapes
and portraits of that privileged class and its big houses.1 On the =
contrary,
the exhibition demonstrates that both local and visiting painters also
turned to the country=92s rural tenants for subject matter=97in some =
cases
graphically recording the desperate poverty of famine-era dwellings. =
These
works constitute an insufficiently recognized group of Irish genre =
painting
warranting more investigation by historians and scholars of literary and
visual culture.=20

The exhibition includes shards excavated from an evicted famine cabin =
that
reflect the varieties of imported ceramic ware evident in many =
paintings,
suggesting the aesthetic pleasure even the poorest tenants found in the
display of their possessions. In addition, The Inside Story gathers
chapbooks, broadsides, images of the Sacred Heart, and other printed =
matter
that would have made its way into rural homes. Prominently on view are =
many
of the =93things=94 evident in the paintings: furniture (including a =
settle bed
and traditional dresser), dishes, cooking utensils, a woven chicken =
coop,
baskets, religious items, and tools.=20

This multidimensional exhibition includes major paintings and drawings =
of
tenant cabin interiors generously lent by the National Gallery of =
Ireland,
the National Library of Ireland, the Crawford Gallery of Art, the =
National
Gallery of Scotland, and the Ulster Museum. Essential works have also =
been
loaned by smaller collections, both public and private, in Ireland, =
Britain,
and the U.S. Building on recent scholarship in visual and material =
culture
and gathering works of art and objects, most never before exhibited in
America, the exhibition provides rich evidence for students of Irish =
social,
cultural, economic, and political history.2 This inclusion of visual =
imagery
in historical and cultural analysis accompanies a growing recognition of =
the
fine arts tradition as an underutilized resource for interdisciplinary =
Irish
Studies scholarship.3 To suggest the ambitions of The Inside Story and =
the
evidentiary role of visual art and material culture, we offer three =
excerpts
from essays printed in the forthcoming exhibition catalogue; each reads
visual imagery as a path into Ireland=92s past.

Message-ID:

Ivan Gibbons, Irish Studies, St. Mary's University College, Strawberry Hill,
has posed a question on behalf of an Armenian colleague...

Is there is any record of contemporary Irish nationalist comment on the
Armenian massacres in 1915?

I do remember that Lucien Millevoye spoke out in favour of the Armenians in
1903 - but I don't think anyone is claiming Millevoye as any kind of Irish.
In Gladstone's time you sometimes find Ireland and Armenia mentioned in the
same breath - but usually it seems to be a fear that Gladstone will lose
interest in Ireland...

Present day independent Armenia was very interested in Ireland - I had a
very good visit to Armenia a few years ago. But my feeling is that the
Armenians are now less interested than they used to be...

Can anyone help Ivan and his colleague?

Alice Milligan and Ethna Carbery's SHAN VAN VOCHT has a piece at the time
of the 1896 massacres saying an independent Ireland would have intervened
on behalf of the Armenians. I'll look up the exact reference whenever I
find the time.
Best wishes,

Re;Gladstone
Gladstone's 1896 speech on Armenia does get a fair amount of attention, but
attitudes tend to reflect attitudes towards Gladstone - e.g. PArnellites
dismiss it as more British hypcrisy. This article by JJ O'Kelly may be of
interest in this context:

IRISH DAILY INDEPENDENT 24 January 1896 p.5 A RUSSO-TURKISH ALLIANCE BY
JAMES J. O=92KELLY MP

If the =93Pall Mall Gazette=94 correspondent at Constantinople can be
trusted, an alliance, offensive and defensive, has been effected between
the Russians and their old enemies the Turks. The news is probably true,
because it is the logical outcome of the campaign against Turkey by the
Anglo-Armenian Committee and the British Government. The unfortunate
Armenian people were the first victims of the manoeuvres organised in
London, and which culminated in the massacres of Erzerum and
Constantinople. Against the advice of their trusted friends the Armenian
leaders allowed their movement to be given an anti-Russian character, and
from that moment it was doomed to failure. The late demonstration of the
Powers against Turkey came to nothing, because Russia would not consent to
the use of force against the Sultan=92s Empire. The game played by the
Russian Government was perfectly clear to anyone even slightly acquainted
with the rather complex politics of Eastern Europe, and it does not redound
to the honour of either Lord Rosebery or Lord Salisbury that both of them
walked into the net which was before their eyes. Russia encouraged
England to bring pressure on Turkey in favour of the Asiatic Christians,
and secretly encouraged the Sultan to reject the demands put forward by the
English Government. This simple device was sufficient to convince the
Sultan that he would be safer leaning on the support of Russia than in
depending on the British fleet. Without the expenditure of a soldier or a
shilling the St Petersburg Government succeeded in convincing the Sultan
that without the aid of Russia England was powerless to attack Russia,
however strong her fleet might be, and that he had only to come to an
arrangement with Russia and close the Dardanelles to make the Turkish
Empire safe from attack from any quarter. The Russian diplomatists must
have had a comparatively easy task to convince the Sultan that his best
hope of safety lay in an alliance with Russia. It is much more easy to
close a long and narrow waterway like the Dardanelles against the most
powerful fleets than to defend a wide, extended empire, with a frontier
stretching from the Adriatic Sea to the Persian Gulf. The weakness of
Turkey is not wholly caused by her enormous frontier, but by the fact that
there is no great central mass or nation on which the Sultan can rely. The
Empire is a patchwork of tribes, peoples and religions, having no central
principle or policy, and merely held together by the sword of the |Turkish
soldier for the benefit of the Turkish tax gatherer. So long as the
central Government of such a kingdom is overwhelmingly strong, it can
compel obedience within and respect form without, but once let the central
power be broken and it will fall in pieces like a barrel from which the
hoops have been knocked off.

The action of the British Government was based on the selfish
calculation that the time had come for setting Europe by the ears over the
division of the Turkish Empire. In the scramble England proposed to seize
Arabia, and thereby obtain control of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf,
with the view later on of adding to her possessions the whole coast line of
Southern Persia. This extensive scheme of plunder would, of course, have
been carried out while the other European powers were quarrelling over the
possession of Constantinople. It was a pretty scheme, but it was one not
likely to deceive the men who directs the destinies of the Russian Empire,
and who differ widely from the elegant idiots who paraded at Versailles
before his Catholic Majesty, and lost for France the Empire of the American
Continent between a few pinches of snuff and the smiles of a painted
woman. The Russian statesmen allowed, and even encouraged both Lord
Rosebery and the Marquess of Salisbury, to pitch into the Turk, to go for
the =93Unspeakable=94 and when the diplomats of Downing street had exhauste=
d
themselves in insults and threats against the Turkish Government, the
Russian Ambassador merely said to the Sultan, =93Don=92t mind John Bull, ol=
d
man; me and my French pal will support you =96 on conditions.=94 What cou=
ld
the Sultan do except make the best possible arrangements with his new
allies? Under the pretence of friendship England has seized from the
Ottoman Empire Cyprus and Egypt, and her designs on Arabia and the Persian
Gulf are not unknown to the Pashas of the Turkish capital. It is,
therefore, by no means to be wondered at that the Turks and Russians have
come together in the defence of common interests. The Turk may feel that
he is doomed to die, but like all men under sentence of death, he wishes to
put off the day of execution to the latest possible moment. All
intelligent Turks understand that Russia is the Power which, more than any
other, can hasten or delay the final doom of the Ottoman Empire. This is
especially the case now that the great northern empire can count on the
help of France in the Mediterranean. By moving a couple of army corps
into the KArs district Russia could, without firing a shot, compel the
Turkish Government to mobilise its forces in Asia Minor, while a word from
St Petersburg would cause Greece, Servia and Bulgaria to begin the division
of the Turkish territories in Europe.

As these three small Powers, with Macedonia, could put something like
500,000 fairly trained combatants into the field, they cannot be regarded
as =93negligible quantities=94. This is the trump card which Russia holds=
up
her sleeve, and which all players in the diplomatic game know may be thrown
on the table at any moment. By coming to terms with Russia the Sultan
postpones the evil day. He secures his throne for his lifetime, and he
probably prolongs his own life. The reasons for an alliance with Russia
are many and of great importance, and the news of it is probably true. The
=93Pall Mall Gazette=94 is owned by an American millionaire who can afford =
to
pay for important news, and as he has taken the British Empire under his
special protection he is not likely to have spared his cash in so
favourable a spot as Constantinople. The news will no doubt be
contradicted, but it is well to keep in mind Bismarck=92s cynical dictum =
=96 =93I
never believe a rumour till I see it contradicted=94.

The following Call for Papers has been brought to our attention...

Multiculturalism and Music in Britain: Ethnography, Empiricism and Everyday
Lives

Friday 16th March 2012, Department of Music, King's College London

Seminar Conveners: Carolyn Landau (King's College London) & Thomas Hodgson
(University of Oxford)

Over the past decade and a half, multiculturalism has experienced a strong
backlash from politicians, the media and in academia (Vertovec & Wessendorf
2010). Whilst liberal multiculturalism as a concept was introduced as a way
of regulating diversity during a time of increased migration to the UK,
often at the centre of the multiculturalism debate today are Muslims.
Critics of multiculturalism as a state policy have blamed it for
(self)segregating communities, lack of integration, extremism and terrorism.
Much less heard, however, are the views and everyday experiences of those at
the centre of the debate. Within these negative discourses, music finds
little room, despite the increasingly 'multicultural' nature of music making
and listening within contemporary Britain. Recent academic studies, for
example, have shown that, for migrant communities in 'the West', music is a
crucial way of understanding and negotiating new surroundings whilst
retaining ties to a homeland (e.g. Baily 1995; Gazzah 2008; Gross et al
1996; Sharma et al 1996; Solomon 2005). Bound up within the practices of
music and music making are complex and discursive interactions between
'here' and 'there', 'now' and 'then'. These transnational and historical
connections, often embodied and expressed through 'musicking' (Small 1998),
are important not least because they carry deep senses of identity and
belonging, but also because they present what is arguably the most fluid,
contextual and current picture of what it means to live in an increasingly
multicultural society.

This seminar aims to move beyond anti-multiculturalism discourses by looking
more broadly at how different social, ethnic and religious communities
(broadly defined) experience living in a multicultural society like Britain.
In a society that is becoming increasingly diverse-to the extent that the
term 'super-diversity' (Vertovec 2007) is now being employed to describe
it-how do existing, new and 'post migrant' groups experience it? What is
their understanding of it? How do different groups understand 'Britishness'?
Where and how do recent studies of folk music and ideas of nation (Brocken
2003; Gammon 2008; Sweers 2005) intersect with discourses on
'non-indigenous' music making in Britain, the World Music industry,
globalisation and empire (Banfield 2007; Zuberi 2001)?

This seminar will offer snapshots of how various groups of people in the UK
use music to understand and experience living in a multicultural society. By
looking at some of the intra-communal debates, the seminar will build a more
broadly inclusive picture of multicultural Britain from the perspectives of
those who live there. The result will not simply be to build up a patchwork
of how various groups of people use music, but also to see how the stories
and experiences of people on the ground, expressed through and by music,
might more effectively inform and shape multicultural policy as well as
contributing to ongoing academic discourses on the nature and role of music
in society. As such, participants are encouraged to address one or more of
the following themes (but are not limited to these):

Untangling Terminologies: 'Britishness', 'Multiculturalism', 'Integration'

What does research on 'musicking' in Britain reveal about the nature of
'Britishness', 'multiculturalism' and 'integration' in contemporary British
society?

The Big Society

To what extent can different examples of 'musicking' in Britain be
understood to play a role in the outworking or unpicking of Cameron's Big
Society?

[Trans]nationalism, Place, Segregation

How does 'musicking' in Britain connect or segregate communities across
Britain with 'here' and 'now', or 'there' and 'then'?

Everyday life

What does an examination of the musical compositions, processes of
music-making and listening of diverse communities reveal about the everyday
experience of life in Britain and the role of music within society?

Education

How is music education (in theory and/or practice) in Britain reflecting or
responding to multiculturalism as either a fact of cultural diversity or
principle of public policy?

Submissions

Scope

We welcome contributions from researchers from across a wide range of
disciplines, including (but not limited to): (ethno)musicology, sociology,
anthropology, cultural and media studies; who work on any area/type of
'musicking' across Britain, including (but not limited to): community and
amateur music, in/formal music education, 'institutionalized' music, and
cultural policy.

Deadline & format

Please email abstracts of up to 300 words for 20 minute papers, together
with a short biographical statement & AV requirements, to
carolyn.landau[at]kcl.ac.uk and thomas.hodgson[at]sjc.ox.ac.uk by Friday 13th
January 2012.

I thought we might need a word of explanation about the use of the word
'Musicking' in that Call for Papers from Carolyn Landau (King's College
London).

The word is in my thoughts because of a project I am working on, about song
writing.

The word 'Musicking' comes from the work of Christopher Small, especially
his book...

Musicking: the meanings of performing and listening
Wesleyan University Press; First Edition edition (30 April 1998)

There are sections of the book visible on Amazon and on Google Books.

See also...

Musicking: A Ritual in Social Space
A Lecture at the University of Melbourne June 6, 1995
By Chris Small

http://www.musekids.org/musicking.html

Simply, music is not a thing, it is an activity - you don't need a noun, you
need a verb.

Christopher Small died only a few months ago, and obituaries appeared in
many places... I made some notes at the time - thinking, There goes another
one I will never actually meet.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/sep/19/christopher-small-obituary

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/arts/music/christopher-small-cultural-musi
cologist-is-dead-at-84.html

I have not seen the term 'Musicking' used much in writing about music and
the Irish - I am perhaps not as in touch with discussions as I should be.
But it does seem to be to be a very straightforward way into that special
place that music has in Irish culture.

For information on *The Brooklyn Tablet,* contact Joy Holland, Division
Chief, The Brooklyn Collection, Brooklyn Public Library, Central Library
branch, Grand Army Pz., and also Mark Levine, Manager, History, Biography &
Religion Division, same venue; see their email addresses, below. Also
browse the online catalogue of the Brooklyn Public Library (the Central
Library) using, as Key Words, the title of the publication. Also contact
the Brooklyn Historical Society, Brooklyn Heights.

Very good luck with this, and ideally you'll be able to locate some living
collectors of Brooklyn history who may have actual paper copies of this
publication. (But I imagine you'll first find it on film.)

Finally, don't forget the New-York Historical Society, in Manhattan;
contact Alice Browne, Rare Books cataloguer (abrowne[at]nyhistory.org).

Let me know how this goes.

Dear colleagues,

On 23rd May next the High Court in London will review the planning
permission granted to convert Undershaw, the house in Surrey built for Conan
Doyle to his own designs in 1897 and empty since 2004. This would allow the
house to be divided vertically into three and the gardens to be built over.

The case for overturning the permission on the grounds that the house's
cultural value was not considered is being made by the Undershaw
Preservation Trust, which wishes to see it restored as a single private
residence; and by Academics for Undershaw, an international group of
academics and other scholars now numbering 404, which favours the creation
of a Conan Doyle Museum and Centre for British & Irish Crime Writing. Some
of these joined from the IR-D list, and we make a case for Conan Doyle to be
subsumed into the study of Irish cultural memory.

We hope that more scholars will wish to add their names to AfU by contacting
me (oscholars[at]gmail.com) before it is too late. The list will be sent on
request.

With best wishes,

David Charles Rose
