Call for Articles: Special edition of Symbiosis: A Journal of =
Transatlantic Literary and Cultural Relations on the 'Irish =
Transatlantic: Act of Union (1800) to the Present Day'

The Autumn 2015 issue of Symbiosis: A Journal of Transatlantic Literary =
and Cultural Relations will take as its focus the literary and cultural =
exchange between Ireland and the Americas from the Act of Union (1800) =
to the present day. We seek to provide a window onto the expansive and =
multifarious nature of Irish transatlantic studies, publishing a range =
of articles which illustrate the depth and breadth of contemporary =
scholarship in this area. Despite the unquestionable historical, =
material and political connections between these two geographical =
locations, the Irish dimension to transatlantic studies is often =
overlooked. Burgeoning interest in transatlantic studies has led to the =
publication of innovative book series on the topic; while this is an =
exciting move in scholarship, the number of texts that display sustained =
engagement with Irish transatlantic concerns is surprisingly low. =
Similarly, although the historiography of the Irish diaspora is a rich =
field, transatlantic Irish literary and cultural studies is an uneven =
area of inquiry; notably, while the Famine years have received plentiful =
commentary, there is a dearth of scholarship considering the decades =
preceding this.

We hope to touch upon emergent areas of enquiry, such as spatial =
mappings of Atlantic geography attendant to the richly rhizomatic nature =
of transatlantic exchange; examinations of Irish-American ethnic =
identity informed by critical race studies; and the impact of digital =
humanities on the field at large. The editors' research interests lie in =
early nineteenth century and contemporary literary culture so they would =
be particularly receptive to articles investigating transatlantic =
exchange within these periods.

We are interested in articles exploring:
- Methodologies and/or mappings for Irish transatlantic study
- Transatlantic applications of (post)colonial theory
- Gender across Atlantic space
- Religion and spiritual practices
- Transatlantic intersectionality
- The role and function of literary form
- Effects of the Act of Union on the publishing trade
- Transatlantic circulations and critical receptions of texts
- Exchange of correspondence and letters
- Areas of consonance and dissonance between cross-currents of =
diasporic and migrant experience
- Northern Irish exchange with North America
- Replication and development of local and/or regional Irish =
identities after migration
- The Big House in literary and cultural imagination(s)
- Transatlantic medical humanities
- Cultural performance, theatre and performing arts (particularly =
music and dance)
- Contemporary constructions of Irish-American identity in =
popular culture
- Critical race studies and ?white innocence?
- Irish folklore and Celtic mythology within North America

We are seeking articles of between 5,000 and 7,000 words in length =
(inclusive of notes and bibliographic material), written in accordance =
with MLA style. Deadline for submissions: 31st December 2014; =
submissions should be sent to muireann.crowley[at]ed.ac.uk and =
a.c.garden[at]sms.ed.ac.uk.

CALL FOR PAPERS


The Transatlantic Connections Conference is a unique, multi-disciplinary
gathering that aims to encourage conversation between scholars and
researchers of Irish and Irish-American culture and the writers, artists,
local historians, surfers, musicians, skaters, chefs, poets, thinkers and
readers of Irish and Irish-American culture. The location is in Bundoran, in
County Donegal, an incredibly cultural and scenic county, sandwiched between
the province of Northern Ireland to the east, the counties of Sligo and
Leitrim to the south, and the wild Atlantic Ocean all along the west coast.
Bundoran is a small seaside town that has experienced the vicissitudes of
Ulster history, a community of people who share a love of Irishness,
hospitality, the ocean and the craic (that's a Gaelic word for fun!)

History and Culture matter in Ireland. It has always been a country that is
very aware of its political and cultural past. But there are less well-known
aspects of Irish culture. Irish creativity is well-known in literature, it
was inevitable that it would spill into other areas of popular culture,
especially where subcultures such as surfing and skating began to thrive.
Interesting things are happening in Irish film and media, music, art and
design. The same talents that launched a thousand books and poems are now
busy being creative in all sorts of contemporary directions. This deserves
our attention.

American influence and opinion has always been important in Ireland, and
Irish people have made very important contributions to the culture of the
United States. This conference aims to identify some of these experiences,
discuss them, celebrate them and encourage their continuity. Our range of
panels reflects the eclectic nature of these experiences, and our objective
of integrating the academic conference experience with an authentic
experience of a vibrant and current Irish Culture.

Papers are invited in the following areas: Please click for further
information.

1. History

2. Literary Studies

3. Creative Writing

4. Surf Culture

5. Traditional Irish music

6. Food/Drink Culture

Merrion Press/Irish Academic Press is delighted to announce the =

by M=C3=ADche=C3=A1l =C3=93 hAodha and Ruan O'Donnell, both of the =
University of Limerick.

The Howth Gun-Running took place on the 26th of July 1914. It was a key =
step in providing arms to the Irish Volunteers in the run up to the =
Easter Rising of 1916. The Howth gun-running was intended to arm the =
Irish Volunteers and provide protection for the Nationalist people and =
partly in response to the success of the Larne gun-running in arming the =
Ulster Volunteers. The idea for the Howth gun-running was conceived by a =
group of (primarily) Protestant Nationalists including Erskine Childers, =
Molly Childers, Roger Casement, Alice Stopford Green and Mary Spring =
Rice. Molly Childers and Spring Rice were the two women who established =
the committee and raised the funds so that the arms could be sourced =
from Germany, arms as subsequently used during the rebellion of Easter =
Week.

The volume has been published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of =
the events in Howth on July 26th, 1914, and is available in paperback =
priced =E2=82=AC19.95. It will also be available as an e-book =

"International Celebrities and Irish Identity in the United States and
Beyond, 1840-1860"

_American Nineteenth Century History_ (July 2014)



This article builds on Kerby Miller's 1990 book chapter in _Immigration
Reconsidered_ by using Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony to
analyze how the Irish American bourgeoisie used celebrity status to
consolidate their leadership in the antebellum United States.

in the hard-copy version of the journal later this Summer/Fall.

Dear Bill:



Given that so many members of the IR-D List teach courses/units relating to
migration and ethnicity, I wanted to let them know that the latest issue of
the _Journal of American Ethnic History_ (vol 33 no. 4 Summer 2014) has a
"Forum on Using Online Resources in Teaching U.S. Immigration and Ethnic
History".



My own article ("Cartoons in the Classroom: Using Digitized Political
Caricatures to Teach Migration and Ethnicity") only touches on the Irish in
passing but Judith Ridner contributes a piece on "Using the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania's 'Irish Immigrant Letters Home' to Teach
Nineteenth-Century Irish Immigrant History." There are nine articles in
total covering a range of excellent sources from slave narratives to
German-American Business Biographies.



As an added bonus, the issue also includes a regular article (unrelated to
the teaching forum) co-authored by David Gleeson, Donald MacRaild, and Tanja
Bueltmann on "Invisible Diaspora? English Ethnicity in the United States
before 1920".



Thanks! Cian

Ireland's Others: Diversity in History and Culture
21st Australasian Irish Studies Conference
National University of Ireland, Maynooth
18-20 June 2015

While welcoming papers on any aspect of Ireland, Irish Australia or Irish
New Zealand, or the Irish diaspora generally, this conference will also have
a specific focus around the idea of diversity. Recognition will be given to
2015 as the centenary of significant events and developments both in Ireland
and in Australia and New Zealand and papers will be welcomed that relate to
those events and issues. Specific sessions are proposed on the First World
War and Irish, Australian and New Zealand involvement; on the Irish country
house and its occupants, historically, culturally and in contemporary Irish
society; on religious diversity, both historically and in the present; on
Irish and diaspora literature; and on memory and myth in Irish literature
and history. More generally offers of papers or roundtable sessions will be
welcome on topics that illuminate 'others', those groups or individuals who
fall outside what has been seen as the mainstreams of Irish history and
life.

It is expected that keynote contributors will include Toby Barnard, Emeritus
Fellow, Hertford College, Oxford; Margaret Kelleher, Professor of
Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama, University College, Dublin; and Guy
Beiner, Senior Lecturer, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. The
main conference sessions will be on 19 and 20 June, and on the 18th there
will be a number of associated events in Dublin.

The conference is convened under the auspices of the Irish Studies
Association of Australia and New Zealand and with the support of the
Departments of History and English, the Centre for the Study of Historic
Irish Houses and Estates and An Foras Feasa, National University of Ireland,
Maynooth.

The Conference Convenors are:
Philip Bull (Department of History, La Trobe University, Melbourne and
CSHIHE, Maynooth)

P.J.Bull[at]latrobe.edu.au

Oona Frawley (Department of English, National University of Ireland,
Maynooth)
Oona.Frawley[at]nuim.ie

Pauric Travers (Department of History, St Patrick's College, Drumcondra)

Pauric.Travers[at]spd.dcu.ie

Offers of 20-minute papers, including prospective title and an abstract of
100 words, or roundtable sessions on specific themes and comprising
10-minute contributions, are invited. To be submitted by 16 January 2015 to:

P.J.Bull[at]latrobe.edu.au

Further enquiries to any one of the convenors.

to participate in Entangled Histories and Cultures: Re-mapping Diasporas and
Migrations between Ireland and Latin America, an international and
interdisciplinary conference at University College Cork, Ireland, 25-27th
June 2015.

The proximity of Cork harbour, historically an important gate-way for
migration and trade between Ireland, Spain and Latin America, provides a
stimulating setting from which to explore Ireland's engagement with the
Iberian Atlantic world. Irish people moved and settled in the company of
transatlantic diasporas from Europe Africa, and Asia in the context of
Empire. Inter-ethnic relations and cross-cultural connections were
complicated by processes of class, race, and gender. We invite papers and
panels from across the Humanities and Social Sciences focused on entangled
histories, and legacies of migration through different eras of colonialism,
independence, and globalisation. We also welcome papers on the memory,
representation and transformation of the relationship between Ireland and
Latin America.
Topics might include but are not limited to:

Private histories/public histories
Colonialism/Anti-colonialism
Labour, gender and racialisation
Slavery, anti-slavery
Freedom, human rights, indigenous rights
Sexualities, race and mestisaje
Migration, diaspora, exile
Languages, literacies, discourse
Exile- political, social, linguistic
Peregrinations, wanderings, religious/official journeys
Lands, landings, placing and mapping
Sea voyages, Safe Harbours, Perilous Passages/Safe Passages, Perilous
Harbours
Documents, passports, carnets de voyage and passage/ travelogues/travel
narratives
Alternative epistemologies
Difficulties of entanglement
Ekphrasis: Imagi(ni)ng journeys, fictional migrations, (dis-) appearing acts
Visual culture, music, dance
Literature, journalism
Missionaries, government aid, trade
Transnational digital communities
Neo-liberalism, environmental, development, and food relations
Affinities/resistances
Solidarities/exploitations
Film Studies: documentaries, short films, docufictions, current affairs
programmes and migrations
The art of travelling, travelling and art, travel literature
Mental and physical health: diasporas, migrations and exiles

Conference organizers also welcome paper, panel, and presentation proposals
from individuals or groups engaged in related disciplines, including
graduate students, independent scholars, public and community historians,
authors, poets, artists, musicians, dancers, activists, and community
associations. Conference languages include English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The Glen : An Gleann - Recollections from a Lost World


By Cl=F3 Iar-Chonnacht ,
M=EDche=E1l =D3 hAodha , =
S=E9amus =D3
Maolchathaigh =20


This unique book describes a small Gaeltacht area in Munster that =
remained
largely immune to outside influences because of its isolated location =
and
where the Irish language survived amongst a small pocket of people until =
the
mid-twentieth century.

Lovers, fighters, priests, poets, healers, wanderers, landlords, =
poachers.
People who were happy to till the land.
People who were kind but had all sorts of human foibles.
A cholera epidemic, suicides and a feud that tore apart one family with
tragic consequences.
Love and joy and jealousy and death.

These are all here in abundance in this book, an abbreviated version of
which was first published in Irish in 1963. This book is the hidden =
piece in
the jigsaw that was rural Ireland in the decades prior to 1950. Not for =
=D3
Maolchathaigh the rosy-tinted spectacles of a glorius past that was =
Irish
and rural and where everyone loved one another. Writing from the =
"margins"
in a language that even fewer people could read than can do today, =D3
Maolchathaigh was an astute observer of people and place. His =
recollections
of a "Lost World" are unique and searing in their honesty. His =
all-seeing
eye saw the petty jealousies and hypocrisies of country and village life =
and
he was not afraid to record them. In addition to leaving us with a =
unique
social document, =D3 Maolchathaigh was ahead of his time in exploring =
aspects
of rural life considered taboo until recently.
