1943 =AD A Dance Odyssey

Once upon a time, during World War Two (or "The Emergency", as it was known=
in Ireland), enigmatic Irish-German woman Erina Brady brought cutting edge=
Modern Dance to Ireland, from Germany. A forgotten reel of film by Irish =
film industry founder Liam =D3 Laoghaire immortalised the mysterious modern=
dancer teaching her tiny pupils in her Harcourt Street Studio and dancing =
freely in the open air in his 1943 gem of a film, "Dance School".

Setting eyes on this rare footage for the first time, "1943 -- A Dance Odys=
sey" brings five of Brady's former tiny tots on an odyssey to a bygone era =
in her enchanted Irish School of Dance Art studio.

Seventy years on, 1943 -- A Dance Odyssey, explores who were these tiny dan=
cers, attempting an arabesque, and stretching out their little limbs in bar=
efoot dance of expression? Where did the dance of life take them?

Unlocking fond memories of those extraordinary classes the women share how =
the modern dance pioneer influenced their lives, and opened them up to a li=
fetime of creativity.

Produced, Written & Directed by Deirdre Mulrooney
Shot & Edited by Mia Mullarkey; Music Composition by Rossa =D3 Snodaigh
Running time: 25 minutes
First broadcast on RTE One on April 1st (Easter Monday), 2013. Screened at=
Bealtaine Festival, 2013; Culture Night 2013, Druid Lane Theatre, Galway, =

Crowd-funded via www.fundit.ie

"The past was... another country in =911943 - A Dance Odyssey' in which thr=
ee sisters and two other women revisited the Harcourt Street premises where=
German-Irish Erina Brady had taught them modern dance 70 years earlier. Th=
eir reminiscences of this exotic, bohemian woman were touching and there wa=
s a haunting and affecting quality to Deirdre Mulrooney's short film"...
(John Boland, Irish Independent Weekend Review, April 6th, 2013).

the work of scholars from the UK, Ireland, Europe, the US and Canada, to
explore the ways in which the processes of movement affect the =
people=92s
negotiation and contestation of concepts of identity, the local and the

sociology, politics, cultural studies, history and archaeology, with
interests in migration, gender studies, diasporic identities, heritage =

Call for Submissions: The Irish in the South, Volume 2 of Irish Studies
South


Irish Studies South, the new online
journal of the Southern Region of ACIS announces a Call for Submissions for
Volume Two, to be edited by David Gleeson. The deadline for submissions is
February 1st, 2015.

The Irish in the South

Traditionally the study of the Irish in American focused on the large cities
of the Northeast and Midwest where the majority of Irish immigrants and
their descendants lived. In the last fifteen years, however, there has been
a huge growth of interest in the Irish beyond these metropolises. The
results of 1990 Federal Census, the first to ask respondents for their
ethnicity, shocked many when it showed that sections of the American South
claimed Irish heritage that matched and even surpassed large swathes of the
North. New Irish immigrants have flocked to the South too in the early
twenty-first century, which along with growing economic connections between
"Sunbelt" industries and Ireland has been acknowledged by the establishment
of Irish Consulates in Atlanta and Austin. Investigations by scholars such
as Randall Miller and David Gleeson have highlighted the significance of the
Irish presence in southern towns and cities, while the works of Kieran
Quinlan and Bryan Giemza have emphasized cultural connections between
Ireland and the South as well as the important influence Irishness had on
native southerners like Flannery O'Connor.

In recognition of this burgeoning field Irish Studies South welcomes
submissions for a special issue on The Irish in the South to be edited by
Professor David Gleeson of Northumbria University. Submissions from all
disciplines are encouraged. Potential topics include:

1. The Irish cultural influence on the early South reflected through the
settlement patterns of Scots-, Native- and Anglo-Irish.
2. Irish religious traditions in the South
3. Irish political movements, nationalist and loyalist, in the South
4. Irish immigrants and Irish southerners in southern politics
5. The significance of Irish heritage on southern writers
6. Irish labor and entrepreneurial contributions to the South's economic
development
7. Irish music in the South
8. The Irish and race relations in the South.

The 150th anniversary of Ireland=E2=80=99s Great Famine in the 1990s genera=
ted a
significant increase in scholarship on the history of the crisis and its
social and cultural aftermath. Two decades later, interest in the Irish
Famine =E2=80=93 both scholarly and popular =E2=80=93 has soared once again=
. A key event in
Irish cultural memory, the crisis still crops up regularly in public
discourse within Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. This volume,
containing essays by distinguished scholars such as Peter Gray, Margaret
Kelleher and Chris Morash, offers new perspectives on the Famine and its
contexts. Addressing the challenges and opportunities for Irish Famine
studies today, the book presents a stimulating dialogue between a wide
range of disciplinary approaches to the Famine and its legacies.

*6th Annual Irish in Britain Seminar Series*

*4 Nov =E2=80=93 2 Dec 2014*





The present phase of Irish migration to Britain began with the collapse of
the Irish economy in 2008. Six years on, we assess the situation today. How
do migrants and their experiences of life in Britain compare to previous
generations? How long is the current phase of migration likely to last?
Focussing on topics such as education, health and sport, this year=E2=80=99=
s
speakers will shed light on these questions and invite you to contribute to
the debate.

*ENCORE! TRAVELS WITH THE GHOST OF MARGARET SHEEHY:*

* Memory work and the politics and performance of life storytelling*









This presentation considers archival records, scholarly literature,
photographs, interviews, family stories and my ethnographer=E2=80=99s diary=
as an
assemblage of materials with which I endeavour to create a life story. I
interweave a reading of selected =E2=80=9Cletters home=E2=80=9D written by =
my grandmother,
Margaret Sheehy, from Montreal between 1922-1939 to her sister,
Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, in Dublin with debates in contemporary
scholarship on memory work, life storytelling, ethnography, and
interdisciplinary performance studies. These letters include Margaret=E2=
=80=99s
reflections on everyday family life in self-described exile, commentaries
on political movements in Quebec and Ireland, her ambivalent yearnings for
=E2=80=9Chome=E2=80=9D, and her desire for continuity of familial relations=
hips with her
sisters. Considering Margaret=E2=80=99s writing of these letters, and my r=
eading
and re-presentation of them as affective, embodied, gendered work invites
analysis not only of the letters=E2=80=99 contents, but also of letter writ=
ing and
letter reading as performative practices, and of research, re-presentation,
communication and reception of such research as integral. In this way, I
explore the ethical/political potential and problems that emergent
approaches to memory work and the politics and performance of life
storytelling generate. I look forward to your responses, questions and
critiques.





*Dara Culhane is a Professor of Anthropology at Simon Fraser University,

in family stories and archival research in Ireland. *"Hear Me Looking At
You"* is written and performed by Culhane, and drawn from letters and
memory work. This solo performance explores exile and return, fathers and
daughters, pride and loneliness. *Hear Me Looking at You* has been
performed in Vancouver (2012, 2013), Galway (2012), Los Angeles (2013) and

Our sense of identity and our understanding of national, ethnic, gender,
religious, and class issues shape how we live as citizens in harmony or
conflict. Powerful forces such as globalisation, conflict and
technological advancement are changing these notions in unforeseen
ways. Researchers at Maynooth University seek to understand the
consequences of how human identity is portrayed in a changing world. Our
research examines critical debates in contemporary women=E2=80=99s writing =
and in
gender, performativity and play across several languages and cultures. We
focus on philosophical, psychoanalytical, anthropological, and sociological
approaches to diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, plurality and =E2=80=98the=
other=E2=80=99,
and use the concepts of diversity and identity to explore these
developments, their expression, and their meaning for society.

This year=E2=80=99s Irish in Britain Seminar Series commences next Tuesday =
evening
with:



*Irish Migrant Teachers in Britain: new opportunities and enduring
stereotypes*



Prof. Louise Ryan, Co-Director of the Social Policy Research
Centre, Middlesex University





Since the collapse of the =E2=80=98Celtic Tiger=E2=80=99 Irish economy in 2=
007, the numbers
of young Irish migrants leaving the country has soared. However, the
Britain they are arriving in has also changed.



In the post-=E2=80=98Good Friday Agreement=E2=80=99 era, relations between =
Ireland and
Britain have altered significantly. As the global political landscape
shifts, the Irish are no longer the number one =E2=80=98terrorist suspects=
=E2=80=99 in
Britain. In addition, since EU enlargement, and the rise in migration from
Eastern Europe, the perception of the Irish, as predominantly white
European and English speaking migrants, may also have shifted. Against
this changing backdrop, and focusing on data from a mixed method research
project with recently arrived young Irish professionals in Britain, this
paper will explore how participants narrated their identities through
mobilities. Given the changing political, cultural and socio-economic
landscape, these young migrants in Britain may have more opportunities to
present and redefine their identities. Nonetheless, their narratives reveal
some on-going anti-Irish stereotyping which continue to frame the
repertoire of identity narratives for recently arrived migrants from
Ireland.





Professor Louise Ryan is co-director of the Social Policy Research Centre
at Middlesex University. Originally from Cork, she received a PhD from
University College Cork and has worked at various universities across the
UK during the last twenty years, including London Metropolitan University.
Louise is the author of several highly cited papers and books on migration.
She has carried out research with various migrant groups including Polish
and French. She has also undertaken an oral history study on Irish nurses
who migrated to Britain in the post-war period.

*The Irish in Britain Seminar Series* offers an opportunity for members of
the public, as well as students and scholars, to debate and disseminate the
latest research on Ireland, migration and the diaspora.


The present phase of Irish migration to Britain began with the collapse of
the Irish economy in 2008. Six years on, we assess the situation today. How
do migrants and their experiences of life in Britain compare to previous
generations? How long is the current phase of migration likely to last?


Focusing on topics such as education, health and sport, this year=E2=80=99s
speakers will shed light on these questions and invite you to contribute to
the debate.

*Re*: Jennifer May Redmond's Query

The information, below, for Paula Pratt, is copied from a post of mine on
WOIRN-L and c18-L;
it may be useful to Jennifer May Redmond. And, Jennifer, here are other
thoughts:

i) Irishwomen & the arts:
certainly contact Julie Henigan (jhenigan[at]alumni.nd.edu);
her recent book, *Literacy and Orality in...Irish Song* (Pickering &
Chatto, 2012; see Amazon page).

ii) Events webpages, Glucksman Ireland House, NYU;
and the Fund for Irish Stds, Princeton U. (both venues often include Irish
arts subjects / performers).

iii) Certainly, Margaret Mulvihill's new (diaspora) novel, *The Leaving
Coat* (Ireland-NYC); see Amazon page.

Subject: recommendations for anthology needed

Hello everyone.

I am finally having the opportunity to teach an introductory course in
"Irish Literature." It's a 200-level (Sophomore/Second year) course, and
one which satisfies the "General Education Requirement" for a 200-level
literature class. At the end of the day, what I really want to focus on are
the Irish women poets/writers of the late-20th century, but I wasn't
allowed to name that as the focus of the course. So, I'm looking for a
general introductory anthology, not too expensive, which I can use, which
I'll supplement with other works posted online.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paula Pratt

Dear Colleagues

I'm hoping to draw on the collective wisdom and the creativity of this
listserv as I am redeveloping a course on the Irish in 20th Century
Britain. This is for a third (final) year undergraduate course which will
have c.25-30 students (I guestimate, but not much higher than this). This
number is important as it means I have a bit of freedom to not just do
lectures, but more interactive tasks so this might inspire your thinking

I have a course syllabus already but I specifically would like some input
on recent work, work on the Irish in the arts/music/drama scenes, and
perhaps the Irish in British empire migration schemes to Australia, for
example. I would also like thoughts on good films to watch (such as Kings)
and readings to go along with them. Any and all suggestions welcome and I'm
willing to share my syllabus with anyone who wants it.

Best wishes

Jennifer
