This thesis will interest many Ir-D members. There is a robust use of the
thought of Alain Touraine, which is unusual in English-speaking sociology.
Though, looking back, I think you could argue that there has been a sort of

Abstract:
This paper examines how entrepreneurial parents in Ireland negotiate =
their
work and family roles, drawing upon a national survey of women and men
entrepreneurs, to ascertain the degree to which entrepreneurship =
facilitates
a more equitable sharing of domestic and caring tasks. Relatively few
studies have examined familial and domestic task allocation in the =
context
of entrepreneurship, as opposed to employment. The results suggest that
mothers (and not fathers) adopted flexible working strategies; took on a
disproportionate responsibility for caring and domestic labour; and
experienced greater role conflict. Far from contradicting the prevailing
findings of gender and employment issues, the study validates the =
gendered
patterns of divergence between men and women and illustrates how they =
extend
into entrepreneurship. Fathers worked significantly longer hours; their
career trajectories were typically continuous, in full-time work, while
mothers had more fragmented working patterns, reflecting absences for =
caring
and adjustments such as part-time or working from home. It is still =
mothers,
rather than fathers, who feel responsible for childcare arrangements and
this imposes time constraints on their pursuit of entrepreneurship. The
study points to the need for policy interventions to encourage
entrepreneurship alongside co-parenting through childcare
provision/subsidies and equal treatment in access to family-related =
leave.=20

The Difficulties of Swifts Journal to Stella

Author: Williams, Abigail

Source: Review of English Studies, Volume 62, Number 257, 23 November 2011 ,
pp. 758-776(19)

Publisher: Oxford University Press


Abstract:
This article offers a consideration of the surviving manuscripts of
Jonathan Swifts Journal to Stella, a series of letters written between 1710
and 1713 by Swift from London to Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley, his two
close friends in Dublin. In reassessing the evidence of obliteration within
the manuscripts, it draws attention to other forms of difficulty within
Swifts text. It goes on to consider the obliterations in the Journal
alongside those found in the manuscripts of additional letters and works by
Swift. It is argued that throughout these texts, Swift reveals an interest
in obscured or frustrated communication, and that this is in turn linked to
the forms of play or joking within his intimate friendships. The article
emphasises the importance of the material text in establishing the full
meaning of epistolary form.

Irish "Troubles" case in Boston pits researchers vs. police

By Ross Kerber and Carmel Crimmins
BOSTON/DUBLIN | Tue Jan 24, 2012 7:36pm EST
(Reuters) - - A legal dispute in Boston pits researchers' academic freedom
against a police quest to solve one of the most notorious killings of
Ireland's sectarian "Troubles."

The case centers an archive of interviews with participants in the conflict
gathered from 2001-2006 kept at Boston College. Known as the Belfast
Project, the interview materials sat quietly until May when, at the request
of Northern Ireland's police, the U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed many
interviews with figures from the Irish Republican Army guerrilla group.

Officials say they want help solving the death of Jean McConville, a widowed
mother of 10 abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1972 whose body was
recovered in 2003.

But their actions have drawn criticism that authorities are overreaching and
questions whether Boston College has done enough to stand behind the
promises of confidentiality given to the interview subjets.

In Ireland, the Boston case is closely followed because of allegations that
Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the
IRA and a key player in the 1998 peace deal in Northern Ireland, led the IRA
unit responsible for McConville's execution and secret burial.

Diaspora and identity in the Viking Age

LESLEY ABRAMS

Early Medieval Europe
Volume 20, Issue 1, pages 17-38, February 2012

Abstract
This article investigates the implications of the recent application of the
term 'diaspora' to the overseas settlements of the Viking Age and offers a
speculative assessment, based on literary, historical, archaeological,
sculptural and onomastic evidence, of how the concept might contribute to
our understanding of the cultural dynamics of the period. This exploratory
look at connectivity in the 'viking world' considers the respective roles of
the Scandinavian homelands and overseas settlements in the interplay of
cultural forces from the ninth to the eleventh century.

Final Paragraph
'...These preliminary observations would benefit from chronological and
regional refinement and from further consideration of the extensive
literature on migrant and diasporic societies. Broadly speaking, however,
we might already be able to speculate that for a period the dispersed
Scandinavian communities of the Viking Age acted like a diaspora,
retaining, synthesizing, and expressing a sense of collective identity and
constructing a common cultural discourse, while new circumstances
generated innovations and developments which flowed back and forth
between them. 'Diaspora', then, is arguably not just a buzzword, nor
simply a fashionable synonym, but an exploratory concept that offers a
new perspective on the Viking Age. Its adoption should give the overseas
settlements a greater cultural profile and a more significant role as agents
of change, both in their new environments and back home.'

Abstract

During the 1530s Henry VIII remarried twice, each time annulling his

annulling many Irish marriages. This paper traces the fate of the lost =

Cultural Threat and Anti-immigrant Prejudice: The Case of Protestants in
Northern Ireland

Samuel Pehrson*, Mirona A. Gheorghiu, Tomas Ireland

Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology

Volume 22, Issue 2, pages 111-124, March/April 2012

ABSTRACT
Cultural threat has emerged as a consistent predictor of anti-immigrant and
anti-minority attitudes across many different national contexts. We examine
this issue in the context of Northern Ireland using representative survey
data, suggesting that Protestant and unionist communities experience a
higher level of cultural threat than Catholic and nationalist communities on
account of the 'parity of esteem' principle that has informed changes in the
province since the Belfast Agreement of 1998. Our analyses confirm that,
although there is evidence for some level of anti-immigrant sentiment across
all groups, Protestants and unionists do indeed report relatively more
negative attitudes towards a range of immigrant and ethnic target groups
compared with Catholics, nationalists or respondents who do not identify
with any political category. The analyses further suggest that their higher
level of perceived cultural threat partially accounts for this difference.
We argue that cultural threat can be interpreted as a response to changes in
Northern Ireland that have challenged the dominant status enjoyed by
Protestants and unionists in the past. More generally, we argue that a
politicised characterisation of cultural threat needs to be elaborated
through future work.

Link to the publisher's web site pasted in below, plus other links that will
give some idea of the background. The book is for sale on Amazon and
elsewhere, and some pages are visible on Google Books.

As far as I can make out there is no Irish involvement in the AIRS network,
and the Irish are hardly mentioned in the edited volume. 'Celtic Twilight'
background and that sort of thing. But many Ir-D members will find
intriguing the general and comparative discussion of islands and culture,
authenticity, identity, and especially the use and the importance of song.

I will see if I can lay my hands on a full TOC of the edited volume.

Island Songs A Global Repertoire
Edited by Godfrey Baldacchino
978-0-8108-8177-8 . Hardback
978-0-8108-8178-5 . eBook

Islands are concentrated "instances" of place, in every sense of the term.
As such, there are no better candidates for observing and critiquing the
dynamics of globalization. Through the close analysis of musical performance
and traditions, the scholarly contributors to Island Songs provide a global
review of how island songs, their lyrics, and their singers engage with the
challenges of modernity, migration, and social change, uncovering common
patterns notwithstanding the diversity and local specificity of their
subjects. In this musical exploration of the world of islands, a shared and
deep "sense of place" is celebrated in song. This collection of essays is no
less than a sonic narrative, an attempt to sing the inherent contradictions
and paradoxical modalities of island lives today.

Song lyrics, along with their accompanying music, can serve as a barometer
of life and major cultural markers of change. Island Songs is a work of
sonic anthropology that does more than probe song as a part of the
sociocultural life on islands. It illuminates how song performs island life.
Gathered here are 15 case study chapters on islands in the Caribbean, North
Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic, and the South Pacific, all framed by four
eclectic, conceptual essay contributions. In Island Songs, islands are
presented as distinct vantage points for observing the merger of the local
and the global, as poignantly expressed through song.

This book brings together the perspectives and experiences of sociologists,
anthropologists, geographers, cultural studies specialists, folklorists,
ethnomusicologists, singers, and musicians. Island Songs will interest not
only ethnomusicologists but any and all scholars interested in the effects
of globalization on traditional cultures.

From the Introduction by Patricia Fernandez-Kelly and Alejandro Portes

This volume represents the culmination of a project begun in 2007 =01
under the auspices of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation =01 whose
purpose was to investigate the relationship between health care and
immigration in the USA. How do medical institutions address the
needs of individuals and families who are poor, lacking English
fluency, and often devoid of legal documents? That was the main
question anchoring our research. Included here are also the =
contributions of
scholars who have conducted work on the same subject but
who were not part of the original study. Altogether, the papers offer a
comprehensive portrayal of two institutional arrangements affecting
the lives of millions on a daily basis.

The findings of our research were first discussed at a conference
sponsored by the Center for Migration and Development, held at
Princeton University in 2009. In addition to this volume, the project
yielded two other products: a web page on immigration and health
that we hope will become a repository of information and a
crossroads connecting professionals; and a 28-minute documentary
summarizing main issues on the same subject. Both are available at

Hoboken parade was insult to Irish culture
EDITORIAL | BY TERRY GOLWAY | FEBRUARY 1ST, 2012

As you already know, the city of Hoboken, known best as the birthplace of
Frank Sinatra, will not host a St. Patrick's Day parade this year for the
first time in more than a quarter-century.

Frankly, who can blame them?

No offense to the hard-working volunteers who organized the event, but the
fact is that the parade brought in lots of young adults intent on proving
that you don't have to live near a beach to act like a character from
"Jersey Shore."

...Last year's parade in Hoboken led to mass arrests for crimes ranging from
disorderly conduct to sexual assault. Merchants, save for pub owners,
basically lost a day's worth of business because nobody but the revelers
ventured into the city's revived and charming downtown.

The day's rap sheet was disgraceful, a sad commentary on how an event
designed to call attention to Irish culture and history has degenerated into
a drunkfest in far too many towns. More than 250 citations were issued (for
public urination, among other celebratory activities), and 34 people were
arrested.

...It's not hard to sympathize with the volunteers, who put in long hours of
planning and who have only good intentions. But the committee's reaction to
Zimmer's decision sheds light on a broader Irish-American refusal to see
what is taking place every March in communities around the country. The
committee issued a statement that, in essence, accused Mayor Zimmer of
bigotry.

...Sorry, folks, but you can't play that card. Not when experience and
statistics show that the Hoboken parade was a threat to public safety - and
Mayor Zimmer's foremost responsibility is to protect her fellow citizens
from the kind of mayhem such as the antics of self-absorbed drunks from a
variety of ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds.

...Nobody should have to fear for his or her safety during the St. Patrick's
Day parade season. It is up to Irish Americans to make that point, and to
self-police their celebrations so that they reflect the community's values,
rather than resemble a house party at the Jersey Shore.

I have been to plenty of parades in small towns and suburbs where the crowds
are well-behaved and respectful.

I've also seen the aftermath of Hoboken's parade.

The mayor did the right thing.

It's up to the broader Irish-American community to make sure no other mayors
are forced to make similar decisions.

Polish Ambassador responds to Irish Independent=E2=80=99s =
=E2=80=98Magda=E2=80=99 dole article

THE POLISH AMBASSADOR to Ireland has responded strongly to an article in =
an Irish newspaper which purported to give an account of a Polish =
woman=E2=80=99s life on the dole in Donegal

Marcin Nawrot criticised the piece in today=E2=80=99s Irish Independent =
for its inaccuracy and said that it was =E2=80=98subjective and =
selective=E2=80=99 in how it presented the story.

The article purported to be about an account given by =
=E2=80=98Magda=E2=80=99 to a Polish newspaper about the benefits she =
enjoyed from the social welfare system. However in a letter to the News =
Editor of the paper, Ambassador Nawrot said there were a number of =
inaccuracies in the Irish Independent piece which could have been =
avoided through a proper translation or a more objective approach.

=E2=80=9CIn terms of her describing her life as =E2=80=9CHawaiian =
Massage=E2=80=9D, at no stage in this article does she make such a =
statement,=E2=80=9D writes the Ambassador.

=E2=80=9CWhat she actually says is that she has completed a F=C3=81S =
course in Hawaiian Massage and that she=E2=80=99s planning to open a =
massage business next year. I think you can agree that this =
misrepresentation completely changes the tone of the article=E2=80=9D.

He says that there were =E2=80=9Cmany other inaccuracies=E2=80=A6 =
throughout the Irish Independent article which could have been easily =
avoided if only the Polish article had been translated correctly or its =
content presented in a more objective manner=E2=80=9D.

The Ambassador cites the contribution of many Polish people to Irish =
society in recent years.

Polish waitress packs in job for 'good life' on Irish welfare

A POLISH waitress living here has sparked fury after she boasted about =
living the good life on Irish welfare benefits. 'Magda' (36), not her =
real name, described her life on the dole in Donegal as a 'Hawaiian =
massage'.

She revealed how she had packed in her job so she could spend her days =
walking along beaches with her partner.

He in turn bragged about the county's wonderful golf courses.

Magda claimed she earned =E2=82=AC67 more a week on the dole than she =
did while working and that her welfare payments are =E2=82=AC182 more =
every week than back in her native Poland.

The shocking boasts in a Polish newspaper have ignited another debate on =
welfare tourism, with one Labour senator last night offering to pay for =
her flight home.

The ex-waitress told the Polish newspaper 'Gazeta Wyborcza' that instead =
of working she takes advantage of free education courses and goes =
surfing.

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
Extended deadline: 29 February=20
Conference
THE IRISH SHORT STORY
=A0
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
15 - 16 - 17 November 2012
=A0
Plenary speakers: =C9il=EDs N=ED Dhuibhne, Heather Ingman (Trinity =
College
Dublin), =C9ibhear Walshe (University College Cork),=A0 Anne Fogarty =
(University
College Dublin)

Often hailed as a 'national genre', the short story has known a long,
diversified and distinguished tradition in Ireland, with such famous
representatives as Sheridan LeFanu, James Joyce, George Moore, =
Somerville &
Ross, P=E1draic =D3 Conaire, M=E1irt=EDn =D3 Cadhain, Liam O'Flaherty, =
Mary Lavin,
John McGahern, Anne Enright, =C9il=EDs N=ED Dhuibhne, Claire Keegan and =
many
others. Irish writers have not only played a crucial role in the =
development
of the modern short story at the end of the nineteenth century and in =
its
consolidation as a=A0 major literary form in the course of the twentieth
century, they have also been at the forefront of attempts to define the
short story as a genre particularly suited to capture modern life: the
theoretical essays of Elizabeth Bowen, Se=E1n =D3'Faol=E1in and Frank =
O'Connor are
still considered authoritative texts in international short story =
theory.=20
Somewhat at odds with its status as the Irish prose form 'par =
excellence',
is the rather more marginal status of the genre in literary criticism. =
The
stories of individual writers are often considered as but an aside to =
their
novelistic output, and studies of the formal and thematic development of =
the
Irish short story have been few and far between. Yet, there are signs =
that
this is changing. The study of the Irish short story has received a new
impetus with such books as Heather Ingman's highly acclaimed A History =
of
the Irish Short Story (2009) or the Blackwell Companion to the British =
and
Irish Short Story (2008). Public awareness of the short story, on the =
other
hand, has been raised through initiatives such as the Frank O'Connor
International Short Story Award and recent anthologies such as Anne
Enright's The Granta Book of the Irish Short Story and Joseph O'Connor's =
New
Irish Short Stories.=A0=20

This conference hopes to both capture and further strengthen this new
critical interest in the Irish short story by bringing together scholars
working on the various forms, concerns and contexts of the short story =
in
Ireland, as written both in English and in Irish. The conference
specifically seeks to address the development of the short story as a
literary genre in its own right - from its early forerunners in the tale
tradition, through its paradigmatic modern(ist) embodiments to its
contemporary transformations. It invites papers which address the output =
of
individual writers as well as those that trace more general developments
from a comparative, theoretical or contextual perspective. We also
explicitly invite papers on the short story in Irish, although we would
prefer these papers to be delivered in English. Since 2012 also marks =
the
centenary of the birth of Mary Lavin, papers on her short fiction are =
also
particularly welcome.=20

The conference is hosted by the K.U.Leuven department of Literary =
Studies
and the Leuven Centre for Irish Studies (LCIS). It will take place in =
the
newly refurbished Irish college in Leuven (the Leuven Institute for =
Ireland
in Europe).

Papers should not exceed 2500-3000 words (20 minutes=92 delivery). =
Proposals
for papers (250 words) should be sent by e-mail to Elke D=92hoker
(elke.dhoker[at]arts.kuleuven.be) by February 29th 2012. More information =

pp.273, 46 illustrations, 5 tables. ISBN 978-1-84682-231-5 (hb).


...Editors Ciara Breathnach and Catherine Lawless have done a =
commendable
job with Visual, Material and Print Culture in Nineteenth-Century =
Ireland,
the thirteenth book in a series on nineteenth-century Ireland published =
by
Four Courts. The book is a compilation of nineteen papers (the editors =
do
not say if the felicitous number was deliberate or fortuitous) presented =
at
the 2008 Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland conference,
held at the University of Limerick, where Breathnach and Lawless lecture =
in
history and history of art and architecture, respectively.

The papers contained in the book are interesting and informative, and =
the
editors have constructed a thematic framework that is both logical and
serviceable. In their introduction, they provide an indication of the
structure of the book and, more importantly, a rationale for both the
conference and the book: the shift in trends whereby scholars in a =
variety
of disciplines are using images as primary source material rather than =
as
decorative embellishments.

links to and leads the next set of papers. These incorporate religion,

The final eight papers also find a link from =93racial=94 considerations =
of the
Irish by the English to two men who had strong views of Ireland =

England. The contributors have made use of a variety of sources, =

Canadians' Consternation: Irish Immigration, Competition, and Canada's =
Relationship to the United States and the British Empire in the 1840s

Jonathan Keljik (George Washington University)

Abstract:
This article explores how Canadians' concerns with enumerating =
immigrants in the 1840s led to competition with the United States, which =
Canadians ultimately lost. Canadians reacted to the influx of diseased =
and indigent Irish immigrants in 1847 by pushing for stricter =
immigration policies, leading more immigrants to choose direct passage =
to the United States. The decisive shift in numbers caused Canada to =
become the loser in the immigration contest with its southern neighbour. =
This article demonstrates why Canadians were counting immigrants and =
what Canadian reactions to Irish immigration tell us about perceptions =
of success or failure with attracting immigrant settlers to the new =
world in the nineteenth century.
