The death at 89 of Barney Rosset, Grove Press founder & publisher, was
announced on the frontpage of today's (23rd February 2012) *New York Times*.


During a remarkably long and colorful career, Rosset published many
controversial writers ~ Beckett, Lawrence, Miller, Pinter, Burroughs & The
Beats ~ and was a militant anti-censorship crusader. He was especially
proud of his mixed cultural roots: "I'm half-Jewish and half-Irish, and my
mother and grandfather spoke Gaelic."

pages, 5 images) by Douglas Martin, one of the best obit page writers at

Congratulations--they are great reviews as they should be.

The recent past has witnessed the development of new and diverse notions =
of
Irish identity, alongside changes in the way we articulate the
long-established links between Ireland and the Irish, both at home and
abroad. This volume focuses on the intersection between migrancy and the
narratives of 'hidden' Irish peoples - those emergent voices in the =
Irish
diaspora whose discourses have frequently been occluded, repressed or =
simply
forgotten - and provides a platform for a range of subversive voices. By
usurping notions of identity hitherto considered fixed or authentic, it =
is
possible to engage constructively with some of the larger problems that
circumvent historiographical debate, particularly in relation to the
diasporic experience and its expression in current oral history =
scholarship.
Among the themes examined here are our understanding and definition of =
the
diasporic experience, the role of language in the formation of identity =
and
community, and the relationship between various members of the Irish
diaspora and their homeland.

The Anglo-Irish War (1919-1921): Just War or Unjust Rebellion?

Andrew McGrath

Andrew McGrath, 16 Glenmore Road, Dublin 7 [email: a_guerin[at]eircom.net]

Abstract

The Anglo-Irish War (1919-1921) has rarely been discussed or analysed in
terms of just war theory; however, at the time both its defenders and
detractors employed principles which are recognizably derived from just war
principles, even if in most cases they did not invoke the theory by name.
Despite considerable variety within each group in terms of their application
of just war principles and their interpretation of the historical events,
the Republican commentators tend to focus almost exclusively on jus ad
bellum (just cause), whereas the Imperialists tend to concentrate on jus in
bellum (just conduct).

William Orpen: Towards a Minor Self-Portraiture

Lucy Cotter

pages 25-42

Abstract
Royal Academy artist William Orpen (1878=961931) was once the most
sought-after and the highest-earning portrait painter in Britain. His
posthumous fall from favour was partly due to Tate director John
Rothenstein's damning critique of Orpen's inability to fulfil his =
artistic
potential thanks to his =91divided loyalties=92 to Britain and his =
native
Ireland. This essay argues rather that it was precisely Orpen's complex
positionality that informed the most innovative of his works, leading =
him to
develop a new approach to representation as such. In this essay Orpen is
proposed to operate within the paradigms of =91minor art=92, following =
Gilles
Deleuze and F=E9lix Guattari's conception of minor literature. Orpen's
self-portraits are presented as an early instance of a shift of artistic
focus from the represented to the process of representing, prefiguring =
the
interests of artists working with post-representative strategies some =
fifty
years after his death.

Keywords
Irish art, British art, Deleuze and Guattari, Edwardian, minor painting,
William Orpen, postcolonial, self-portrait

'The imbalance between Orpen=92s current status in Ireland and in =
Britain
is compounded by the fact that his reputation in each country is related =
to
different areas of practice. In Ireland his artistic standing is =
attributed
to the skill of his portraiture and to the appeal of his Irish sitters =
in
particular.His portrait of Gardenia St. George (the daughter of his =
lover)
fetched one of the highest prices ever paid for an Irish painting in
2001.2 In Britain his portraits of the royal family and other major =
figures
of his day still hang in the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate and =

output as a war artist in the First World War, for which he was =
knighted,
that has secured whatever has remained of his reputation in Britain, a =
fact

'In the aftermath of 1990s identity politics discourse and following the

practices.
Yet recent research points to the significant disjuncture between the

the

Abstract
Through the prism of current state discourses in Ireland on engagement with
the Irish diaspora, this article examines the empirical merit of the related
concepts of 'diaspora' and 'transnationalism'. Drawing on recent research on
how Irish identity is articulated and negotiated by Irish people in England,
this study suggests a worked distinction between the concepts of 'diaspora'
and 'transnationalism'. Two separate discourses of authenticity are compared
and contrasted: they rest on a conceptualisation of Irish identity as
transnational and diasporic, respectively. I argue that knowledge of
contemporary Ireland is constructed as sufficiently important that claims on
diasporic Irishness are constrained by the discourse of authentic Irishness
as transnational. I discuss how this affects the identity claims of
second-generation Irish people, the relationship between conceptualisations
of Irishness as diasporic within Ireland and 'lived' diasporic Irish
identities, and implications for state discourses of diaspora engagement.

TIMOTHY LEARY'S MID-CAREER SHIFT: CLEAN BREAK OR INFLECTION POINT?
DAVID C. DEVONIS

Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences
Volume 48, Issue 1, pages 16-39, Winter 2012

The psychologist Timothy Leary (1920-1996), an iconic cultural figure in the
United States in the 1960s and afterward, has received comparatively scant
attention in the history of psychology. This may be due to perceptions that,
after a major career shift centering around his experimentation with
psychedelic substances and his subsequent dismissal from Harvard in 1963,
Leary parted company with the field. While there are several good reasons to
adopt this view, examination of his entire career as well as his
intellectual ancestry reveals unacknowledged continuities, suggesting that a
more prominent place be accorded to him in the history of psychology, as
well as to the challenges he poses.

Does he touch on the works by Rev. Walter MacDonald, ETHICAL QUESTIONS OF
PEACE AND WAR and COMMENTS ON SOME CRITICISMS RECEIVED? These are
interesting because they are exceptions to the rule laid out below
(separatists emphasising jus ad bellum, imperialists jus in bellum) since
MacDonald (who was a Maynooth professor and wrote from a Parnellite home
rule standpoint) argues, against attempts by to justify the IRA campaign by
reference to Catholic just war theory, that the British Crown had acquired
legitimate authority over Ireland by prescription and consequently the Dail
government was not a legitimate sovereign entitled to wage war.
It would also be worth extending the analysis to the Civil War, since
some Republicans certainly argued that the Treaty should be rejected on the
grounds that by accepting Irish sovereignty as a grant from the British
Crown they would be retrospectively admitting that the Crown had previously
possessed legitimate authority over Ireland, and thus that the Dail
government had not been entitled to wage war and the War of Independence
had been a mere murder campaign.

Abstract: The presence of English diplomats at the=20
court of archduke Albert and the infanta Isabella during the reign of
king James VI/I was due to the Treaty of London (1604). William
Trumbull arrived as senior secretary to Sir Thomas Edmondes, who had
been appointed resident ambassador in Brussels, in May 1605 and
remained behind as charg=E9 d'affaires in the fall of 1609 when Edmondes
was recalled. Soon he was appointed resident agent at the
court. His tenure in Brussels was exceptionally long.=20
Trumbull represented the English king until the fall of 1625.=20
Jacobean diplomacy has often been neglected in historiography.=20
The relations between the Southern Low Countries and England have often
been limited to its religious dimensions. Trumbull's career and
especially his correspondence saved in the National Archives (State
Papers Flanders) and the British Library (the Trumbull papers) show
that relations between both courts were not limited to discussions
about British and Irish Catholics seeking refuge in the Catholic Low
Countries. After outlining Trumbull's career as a diplomat the
dissertations turns to all possible themes that figure in the
diplomatic correspondence. Commercial interests, the British and
Irish regiments serving the archdukes, books and pamphlets,
international affairs were points of interest besides the Catholic
exile community.
This dissertation does not only look at each theme individually but has
some questions which are put forward in each chapter. Does
Trumbull take the initiative or does he await instructions? Did
Trumbull's opinion have any bearing in London?

Medicine, Health and Irish Experiences of War, 1914-45
6 September 2012
University College Dublin
(Organised by the Centre for the History of Medicine in Ireland)

The role of Ireland in both the First and Second World Wars has attracted
increasing levels of scholarly attention in recent years. Although Ireland
remained neutral during the Second World War - 'the Emergency' -
international conflict had immediate consequences on Irish social and
economic life. There has been a significant growth of historical interest
regarding the impact of war on Ireland and its effects on Irish politics,
commerce and society. Nonetheless, further scope for inquiry exists. In
particular, the role of medicine and health during these two critical
periods remains remarkably undeveloped in relation to Ireland. This workshop
aims to unravel Irish medical and health experiences in these two defining
periods of worldwide conflict. As well as exploring how warfare impacted
upon the physical, mental and emotional well-being of the Irish populace,
the event seeks to examine how Irish medical, scientific and official
communities operated in relation to both physical and mental health.

Various core questions will be explored at this event. For instance, were
Irish medical and health experiences in any way unique compared to other
countries? Did the financial exigencies of war impact detrimentally on Irish
health care provision? What psychological and emotional responses to war and
grief were formed in Ireland? Did the disruption of First World War have
lasting implications for interwar health care? How did war affect Irish
medical communities operating in international contexts? And what can be
learnt by comparing the medical and health experiences of both wars with
reference to Irish contexts?

We welcome abstracts that explore the following key themes in relation to
Ireland:

- War and Irish medical practice
- Wartime health in Ireland
- Dietary and nutritional well-being during periods of food shortages
- Migration and health
- Psychological responses to war
- Wartime pressures on Irish medical institutions
- Emotional experiences of wartime
- Gender, war and health

We request that 250 word abstracts for the workshop be submitted by 6 April
2012. Please send abstract to david.durnin[at]ucd.ie or ian.miller2[at]ucd.ie. The
workshop will be hosted by the Centre for the History of Medicine in
Ireland, University College Dublin.

This is a wonderful piece of work which, at last, begins to use that
extraordinary resource, the online 1911 census, in imaginative and creative
ways.

The first question is, of course, how on earth did they do it? - and the
Methodology section from p 4 onwards bears close examination. The study
area gave some 240,000 records, which required a significant amount of
'cleaning'.

There is a moment's inattention on page 13, in...
Table 7. The 10 top places of birth recorded outside of Ireland
which seems to think that the UK is outside Ireland...

With the data in place the article shows how it can be used to create
detailed maps and understanding of Dublin's structure. The revelation, how
did they do it, is saved for the Acknowledgements, 'This article draws on a
project undertaken by the 2010-11 MAGeography Class, UCD School of
Geography, Planning & Environmental Policy. Thanks to all the class
participants for their contributions and inputs.'

Well done, Class of 2010-11. No doubt a grateful nation will reward you, in
due course.

Irish Geography

The 1911 Census and Dublin city: a spatial analysis

Dylan Connor a, Gerald Mills a & Niamh Moore-Cherry a*
Available online: 27 Feb 2012

Abstract
One hundred years ago, a complete census of Ireland was taken as part of a
larger census of the UK. The information gathered included details on every
person compiled by household and by house address. This data included the
name, sex, age, religion, place of birth and relationship to others in the
household. As it transpired, this was the last census of the population for
the entire island; the next census took place in 1926 and was of the newly
formed Irish Free State. The original forms, which consisted of individual
records compiled into tables for each house address, were digitised recently
by the National Archives of Ireland. This provided an opportunity to
undertake a geographical study of the 1911 Census in its centenary year.
This research uses the records available for inner city Dublin to describe
its social and demographic make-up 100 years ago. The paper highlights the
variations that existed within the urban core and identifies four distinct
'Dublins' that existed at the time.

Keywords
1911 Census, Dublin city, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), urban
conditions, socio-demographic

Final Paragraph

'The National Archive's census database for the 1911 and 1901 census years
are a great national resource and this article constitutes a first attempt
to add broad geography to that resource. It is unfortunate that the House
and Building Returns(Form B1), Enumerators Abstract (Form N) or the
Out-Offices and Farm-Steadings Return (Form B2) census documents have not
been digitised, as these would offer insight into urban housing stock, rural
land use and greater depth in terms of household information. A further
potential opportunity exists to use this historical resource in conjunction
with the Thom's Dublin Street Directory, which offers building by building
descriptions of Dublin in this period. If Thom's Directory was to be
digitised, linked to building coordinates and coupled to the historical
census databases, the geographic structure of historical Ireland would
become open to exploration at an unprecedented level, not only offering
information on where workers live but also on their place of work.'

Patrick,

I have now been able to look at this article, and I can see no mention of
MacDonald - though I think that some of the arguments you present here are
outlined, but associated with different names.

The article does not look at the Civil War.

I am sure that the author, Andrew McGrath [email: a_guerin[at]eircom.net] would
be interested in your comments.

P.O'S.

From: Patrick Maume
Does he touch on the works by Rev. Walter MacDonald, ETHICAL QUESTIONS OF
PEACE AND WAR and COMMENTS ON SOME CRITICISMS RECEIVED? These are
interesting because they are exceptions to the rule laid out below
(separatists emphasising jus ad bellum, imperialists jus in bellum) since
MacDonald (who was a Maynooth professor and wrote from a Parnellite home
rule standpoint) argues, against attempts by to justify the IRA campaign by
reference to Catholic just war theory, that the British Crown had acquired
legitimate authority over Ireland by prescription and consequently the Dail
government was not a legitimate sovereign entitled to wage war.
It would also be worth extending the analysis to the Civil War, since
some Republicans certainly argued that the Treaty should be rejected on the
grounds that by accepting Irish sovereignty as a grant from the British
Crown they would be retrospectively admitting that the Crown had previously
possessed legitimate authority over Ireland, and thus that the Dail
government had not been entitled to wage war and the War of Independence
had been a mere murder campaign.
Best wishes,
Patrick

A Mysterious Discrimination: Irish Medical Emigration to the United States
in the 1950s
Author: Jones, Greta
Source: Social History of Medicine, Volume 25, Number 1, 7 February 2012,
pp. 139-156(18)

Summary
Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Ireland exported a
considerable number of her medical graduates, mainly to Britain and the
British Empire. After the Second World War there was a shift. The 1950s and
1960s saw an increase in the emigration of doctors to North America. The
American Medical Association, worried about the possible impact upon the
profession, introduced in 1950 a list of foreign medical schools which, in
their view, met American standards of medical education. The failure of
Irish medical schools to make this approved list brought to the surface
problems in Irish medical education. This episode illustrates a number of
issues raised by medical migration; recognition of qualifications and
equivalency across borders; the rise of the USA as a global medical
hegemonic power; the involvement of national governments; and migration as a
catalyst for change in the exporting country.
