Patrick,

Ben Schwartz is dead-on. I've written on the film in a similar vein--as a =
post-World War II movie. I asked a simple question: Why is the quiet man q=
uiet? Schwartz is right to put the film in its early 50s context and to se=
e the "Irishism" of the film as cover for a much more serious critique. I =
find the conclusion of the film to be very persuasive. Ford has the actors=
take bows, much like actors do on a stage. Ford is signaling that the fil=
m's "shtick" is so much posturing. Once we get that, then we can begin to =
look more closely into who Thornton is--much as the Protestant minister doe=
s.

Actually there's a good paper to be written on why Ford's film has been so =
badly "read" by so many Irish intellectuals for so long. Why do they bite =
on the Hollywood shenanigans?

Patrick

It is a very interesting piece- I've always taught The Quiet Man as an
attempt to resolve all the contradictions of post-Famine Irish history
in fantasy and never thought about it from the other side of the
Atlantic. Sean Thorntons 'return' from America is just one of those
contradictions concerning the relationship between indigenous and
diaspora Irishness, between tradition and modernity which is only
resolved at the very last moment when the 'stick to beat the fine lady'
is tossed away.

I don't think you can find much in the way of evidence in the film
itself, apart from the 2 moments described that is, to make a very
strong claim for the film to be a subversive classic in the strong sense
that Shwartz means it to be. I have always read it in a way that
suggests not that America is a place to be escaped from but rather a
place where Irish people should never have been sent to in the first
place, which was also the way I read the short story on which it was based.

Whatever is the case, I would argue that The Quiet Man, for all it's
paddy-whackery and leprechaunist stereotypes is a much more serious
movie about Irish history and culture than a merely surface
viewing/reading gives it credit.

Anyway a belated Happy St Patrick's Day to all list members

Liam

On the whole, though

I've recently published an online article I'd like to share with the IR-D

It's called "Partners in Time: Dancers, Musicians, and Negro Jigs in Early

I'm still working on the big challenge dance project, but a longer article

Freedom in America, 1813 to 2013: Bicentennial Reflections on People v.
Philips"*

*Friday, April 12th =96 Sunday, April 14th, 2013
at New York University*





"*Religious Freedom in America, 1813 to 2013: Bicentennial Reflections on
People v. Philips*" is a weekend of events that marks the landmark 1813
case that is the earliest known constitutional test of freedom of religion
and the priest-penitent evidentiary privilege in American law. A dynamic
line-up of events will demonstrate how a trial for a petty jewelry theft
escalated into an argument for religious freedom when the local priest was
subpoenaed to testify what he had heard in confession.



In *People v. Philips*, William Sampson =97 a banished political exile from
Ireland and a Protestant =97 argued on behalf of the Trustees of St. Peter'=
s
Roman Catholic Church on Barclay Street before the presiding judge, Mayor
DeWitt Clinton. William Sampson's experience of religious-based intolerance
in Ireland propelled him to persuade the court that America should not look
to British common law for legal precedent when dealing with Catholics, then
a small but growing minority in New York City.



William Sampson's own published account of the case, *The Catholic Question
in America, will be presented in a staged reading* adapted by Steve
DiUbaldo of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts on Friday
evening, April 12th. *A full-day symposium* follows on Saturday, April
13th, where scholars from a wide variety of disciplines =97 especially law,
religion, history, and politics =97 will comment on Sampson's 1813 record o=
f
the trial and consider it in relation to their own understanding of
contemporary issues. On Sunday morning April 14th, *Green-Wood Cemetery in
Brooklyn*, the final resting place of lawyer William Sampson and DeWitt
Clinton, will mark the 200th anniversary of the case with an encore reading
of *The Catholic Question* and a wreath-laying ceremony.



Support for these events has been provided, in part, by the Faculty of Arts
& Science and the Humanities Initiative at New York University.

*Presented in partnership with New York University's Center for Religion &
Media and the Irish American Bar Association of New York.*

In the wake of a number of bias incidents, the Catholics of New York City,
a small but growing minority, sought a judicial decision in 1813 that would
protect their "free exercise and enjoyment of their religious profession
and worship." *People v. Philips* is the earliest known constitutional test
of freedom of religion and the priest-penitent evidentiary privilege in
American law. Based on the record of the trial by the Irish political exile
and radical lawyer William Sampson, scholars from a wide variety of
disciplines will consider the original arguments in relation to their
understanding of religious freedom today. *Free and open to the public*.

Ireland's Imperial Cultures: 1850-1950 (Call for Papers)
Edited by Timothy G. McMahon (Marquette University), Michael de Nie
(University of West Georgia), and Paul Townend (The University of North
Carolina-Wilmington)

The proposed volume seeks to address the following question: How do we
understand Ireland's imperial cultures? This question stands at the heart of
a burgeoning body of historical literature that draws insights from our
colleagues in literary criticism, sociology, and British history, but that
has particular resonance for historians of nineteenth and twentieth-century
Ireland. Centrally, scholars have focused attention on the relationship
between Ireland and the British Empire, of which it was both laboratory and
lab partner. Not only did English and Scottish settlers plant Ireland during
the early modern period, but their descendants and, indeed, the descendants
of those they displaced built the "second" British Empire after 1800,
wrestling with its implications for themselves and the peoples they
conquered and (mis-) managed. In turn, historians have opened numerous
fruitful lines of inquiry, such as outlining settlement patterns and
careering, mapping the networks of people, goods, and moving across the
globe, and tracing the efforts of inspired Irish Christians to create a
"spiritual Empire" both before and after the Free State/Republic became its
own state.

We believe, however, it is time that such themes are brought together in a
single volume, in order to consider more fully the implications of Ireland's
relationship to Empire and the cultures created through that relationship.

We stress the plural of the term cultures because a fruitful legacy of the
past two decades of study is our appreciation that Irish men and women
engaged numerous imperiums simultaneously. Most familiarly, of course, they
were a part of that imperial culture at the metropolitan heart of the United
Kingdom (that is, Britain), while, as Barry Crosbie has shown, they
developed their own distinctive variant through institutions and direct
personal and collective interactions with the wider British world. The
interplay between these "British" and "Irish" imperial cultures in turn
became mutually constitutive of one another in ways that shaped the
political dynamics of the United Kingdom in the century under review
(1850-1950). Further, we are very aware that Irish men and women moved to
and exchanged with corners of the world beyond the formal scope of British
control. Most prominently, these destinations included the United States and
Latin American countries, such as Argentina, which presented other points of
reference for the Irish cutting across what might be thought of as
explicitly British. As such, we hope this collection will help us to map the
contours of Ireland's many imperial cultures, shaped as they were both by a
sense of the island's distinctive place in the wider world, and by the
particularities of Ireland's global presence as it was mediated through
wider dynamics of the British Empire.

To do this, we seek essays under the following broad headings:
manifestations of empire in everyday domestic life; imperial networking,
including contacts with other imperial subjects; implications of empire on
political developments within the United Kingdom, including (if possible)
constitutional arrangements such as imperial federation, unionism, and
nationalism; and biographical studies/lives across empire. If you are
interested in submitting an essay, we would ask that you send a 500-word
abstract outlining your proposed essay by May 1, 2013. Please feel free to
contact one of us if you should have questions or are interested in
submitting.

"Hazardous Drinking and the Irish: Break the Silence! Face the Shame! Forget
the Blame! And Win the Game!" with Dr. Garrett O'Connor, Former President,
Betty Ford Research Institute

Thursday, May 16th at 7pm

at Glucksman Ireland House NYU



This discussion will explore the cultural and historical roots of hazardous
drinking in Ireland between 1600 and the latter part of the 19th century,
and in Irish America since around 1840.



During those times alcohol was widely used as a way - and for poor Irish
Catholics, perhaps the only way - to survive three centuries of
soul-crushing humiliation from colonial oppression, intermittent racial and
religious persecution, failed rebellions and recurring famines. Not
surprisingly, alcohol served the same purpose for mostly Catholic Irish
Famine immigrants to the U.S. who were regarded initially as being inferior
and treated accordingly with unprecedented bigotry, fear, hatred and cruelty
that led to even worse pain and suffering than they had been used to in
Ireland.



However, through a combination of compassion, generosity, courage,
resilience, wit, alcohol and outrageous guile the immigrant Irish somehow
managed not only to survive this turbulent entry but to become one of the
most powerful and influential ethnic forces in the U.S. But the success of
this survival process for the Irish on both sides of the Atlantic did not
occur without severe alcohol-related collateral damage being inflicted on
Irish individuals, families, and communities by leaving them susceptible to
addiction, depression, self-destructive behaviors, and spiritual bankruptcy
in the form of cultural malignant shame.



Awareness and acceptance of this legacy, and how it continues to operate as
a destructive dynamic in our daily conduct, must be an essential component
of any recovery process for Irish or American Irish individuals, families or
even communities hoping to heal the damage caused to all by alcohol-related
conduct - or its intimate counterpart - co-dependent behavior in relatives,
friends or work associates.



Dr. Garrett O'Connor was born in Dublin, Ireland. He graduated as a
physician from the Royal College of Surgeons and later trained in Psychiatry
at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland.
As a tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Hopkins, Dr. O'Connor
founded one of the first Psychiatric Emergency Services in the United
States. He has taught at Hopkins and at UCLA, directed the West Los Angeles
Veterans Administration Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program. In
2003, he was appointed Chief Psychiatrist at the Betty ford Center in Rancho
Mirage, California and, in January 2008, was named as the first President of
the Betty Ford Institute for Prevention, Research and Education in Addictive
Disease. Four years later, on January 31, 2012, Dr. O'Connor retired from
this position to spend full-time consulting, lecturing and writing.



Free admission to Members of Glucksman Ireland House and to all
students/faculty with a valid NYU I.D. card. For non-members: $10 donation
at the door for the general event series.
