CFP Ireland : Shared Futures? 10-12 September 2015

Universit=C3=A9 Rennes 2, Brittany, France (Centre d'Etudes Irlandaises, =
=C2=A0
CRBC Rennes)

This conference will consider the future to be shared by the people of =C2=
=A0
the island of Ireland, both North and South, at home and abroad, =C2=A0
including future relations with Britain, the European Union and the =C2=A0
outlook for Ireland in an increasingly globalised and inter-dependent =C2=
=A0
world.

The theme of the conference owes much to the ongoing debate within =C2=A0
Northern Ireland, as an integral part of the conflict transformation =C2=A0
process, on how to build a shared and better future for all citizens =C2=A0
out of a divided and traumatic past. Some critics of the =C2=A0
consociational model which underpinned the 1998 Good Friday Agreement =C2=
=A0
have argued that, "whereas the minutiae of the governing institutions, =C2=
=A0
security arrangements, and the relationships between the UK and =C2=A0
Ireland were detailed, no such policy specifications were made for =C2=A0
societal transformation."1

Subsequent consultations and reports have sought to address this =C2=A0
vacuum, following on from Harbison's Review of Community Relations =C2=A0
Policy in 20022. A large-scale consultation, A Shared Future on =C2=A0
Improving Community Relations in Northern Ireland, was launched in =C2=A0
January 2003, recognizing that "Northern Ireland remain[ed] a deeply =C2=A0
segregated society with little indication of progress towards becoming =C2=
=A0
more tolerant or inclusive", citing segregated housing and education, =C2=
=A0
violence at interfaces, high levels of racial prejudice and stating =C2=A0
that "people=E2=80=99s lives continue to be shaped by community division".

In May 2013, the First Minister and deputy First Minister affirmed =C2=A0
their commitment to "building a united and shared society" with the =C2=A0
unveiling of a new good relations strategy: Together: Building a =C2=A0
United Community. The framework policy document advocates a community =C2=
=A0
"strengthened by its diversity, where cultural expression is =C2=A0
celebrated and embraced and where everyone can live, learn, work and =C2=A0
socialize together, free from prejudice, hate and intolerance".

In the Republic, the financial crisis has left a deep mark on both the =C2=
=A0
economy and its people. The 2010 bailout of =E2=82=AC67.5 billion granted b=
y =C2=A0
the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has left the Republic =C2=
=A0
with a staggering debt to pay, 123% of GDP. The austerity measures =C2=A0
imposed by this bailout have done much to affect the morale of the =C2=A0
country. Unemployment rose to over 15% in 2012 and cuts of billions of =C2=
=A0
euros have been made to social welfare, public sector wages and =C2=A0
pensions. In addition, many capital expenditure projects have been =C2=A0
stopped. Mass Irish emigration has increased again as Irish people are =C2=
=A0
forced to leave a struggling economy to start a new future in =C2=A0
destinations such as the UK and Australia.

Ireland exited the bailout programme at the end of 2013 and has now =C2=A0
taken control of its own affairs again. The Taoiseach Enda Kenny in a =C2=
=A0
live televised address to the nation in December 2013 stated: =C2=A0
=E2=80=9CThroughout our history, the Irish people have already shown that =
=C2=A0
nothing is impossible for us to achieve, when we really apply =C2=A0
ourselves to a challenge or a cause=E2=80=9D3.

The decade of centenaries and commemorations on both sides of the =C2=A0
Irish Sea is providing an opportunity to reflect upon some of the =C2=A0
challenges that Ireland has been confronted with in the past. Queen =C2=A0
Elizabeth's first state visit to the Republic of Ireland in June 2011 =C2=
=A0
acknowledged a common but difficult history and confirmed the =C2=A0
closeness of British-Irish relations. Likewise, during his reciprocal =C2=
=A0
visit to Britain in 2014, President Higgins declared that, =E2=80=9Csuch =
=C2=A0
reflection offers an opportunity to craft a bright future on the =C2=A0
extensive common ground we share and, where we differ in matters of =C2=A0
interpretation, to have respectful empathy for each other=E2=80=99s =C2=A0
perspectives=E2=80=9D 4.

Subject: Seeking Panelists for NACBS annual meeting in Little Rock,
November 2015
MIME-Version: 1.0

Message-ID:

Dear IR-D members,

I'm writing to see if any list members might be interested in joining me to
form a panel at the upcoming North American Conference for British Studies
annual meeting in November 2015. The NACBS requires that participants
present a full panel, which is why I'm sending out this invitation.

Very broadly, I'd like to form a panel on meanings and representations of
violence in the nineteenth century. The panel could explore themes around
the variety of meanings actors, bystanders, or the State imbue into the
violence they either perpetrate or witness, and the potential conflict that
these different meanings or representations produce. Naturally, this could
deal with violence both in Ireland, across the British Isles, or throughout
the British Empire.

I'll be presenting a paper that deals with Irish agrarian violence in the
1830s, and the conflict between local understandings of this violence and
its interpretation by politicians and the British government.

If you're interested at all, please don't hesitate to contact me at the
email below. Panel proposals are due to the Program Chair by 3 March - so,
it'd be great to get your response by the end of February.

Best wishes,

Jay

Blood Runs Green: The Murder the Transfixed Gilded Age Chicago

by Gillian O'Brien



It was the biggest funeral Chicago had seen since Lincoln's. On May 26,
1889, four thousand mourners proceeded down Michigan Avenue, followed by a
crowd forty thousand strong, in a howl of protest at what commentators
called one of the ghastliest and most curious crimes in civilized history.
The dead man, Dr. P. H. Cronin, was a respected Irish physician, but his
brutal murder uncovered a web of intrigue, secrecy, and corruption that
stretched across the United States and far beyond. Blood Runs Green tells
the story of Cronin's murder from the police investigation to the trial. It
is a story of hotheaded journalists in pursuit of sensational crimes, of a
bungling police force riddled with informers and spies, and of a secret
revolutionary society determined to free Ireland but succeeding only in
tearing itself apart. It is also the story of a booming immigrant population
clamoring for power at a time of unprecedented change.

From backrooms to courtrooms, historian Gillian O'Brien deftly navigates the
complexities of Irish Chicago, bringing to life a rich cast of characters
and tracing the spectacular rise and fall of the secret Irish American
society Clan na Gael. She draws on real-life accounts and sources from the
United States, Ireland, and Britain to cast new light on Clan na Gael and
reveal how Irish republicanism swept across the United States. Destined to
be a true crime classic, Blood Runs Green is an enthralling tale of a murder
that captivated the world and reverberated through society long after the
coffin closed.

A Greater Ireland: The Land League and Transatlantic Nationalism in Gilded
Age America


. By Ely M. Janis



During the early 1880s a continual interaction of events, ideas, and people
in Ireland and the United States created a "Greater Ireland" spanning the
Atlantic that profoundly impacted both Irish and American society. In A
Greater Ireland: The Land League and Transatlantic Nationalism in Gilded Age
America, Ely M. Janis closely examines the Irish National Land League, a
transatlantic organization with strong support in Ireland and the United
States. Founded in Ireland in 1879 against the backdrop of crop failure and
agrarian unrest, the Land League pressured the British government to reform
the Irish landholding system and allow Irish political self-rule. The League
quickly spread to the United States, with hundreds of thousands of Irish
Americans participating in branches in their local communities.
As this "Greater Ireland" flourished, new opportunities arose for women and
working-class men to contribute within Irish-American society. Exploring the
complex interplay of ethnicity, class, and gender, Janis demonstrates the
broad range of ideological, social, and political opinion held by Irish
Americans in the 1880s. Participation in the Land League deeply influenced a
generation that replaced their old county and class allegiances with a
common cause, shaping the future of Irish-American nationalism.

Hi Bill,

I thought I'd pass along the announcement and information below about my ne=
w book which might be of interest to some members on the listserv. Many tha=
nks!



Gavin M. Foster, 'The Irish Civil War and Society: Politics, Class, and Con=
flict' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)

http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/the-irish-civil-war-and-society-gavin-m=
-foster/?K=3D9781137425683


Gavin Foster re-conceptualizes class debates around the Irish Civil War (19=
22-3), exploring the social dimensions of the bitter conflict from fresh an=
gles that highlight the rival social outlooks, interests, and conflicts tha=
t ruptured nationalist solidarity at the end of the Irish Revolution. Putti=
ng aside traditional class conflict models and quantitative socio-economic =
methods, Foster uniquely emphasizes social status as a key area of friction=
and contestation between supporters and opponents of the Irish Free State =
that informed partisan discourses, animosities and outlooks. His analysis o=
f these 'politics of respectability' includes an innovative chapter on the =
partisan meanings of clothing and lifestyle practices, while he also compli=
cates traditional narratives of the civil war by showing the pervasive and =
intimate blurring of republican insurgency with social conflicts over land,=
labour, and state authority. Chapters on the understudied aftermath of the=
civil war illuminate the political and social pressures that forced many I=
RA veterans to emigrate, an important revolutionary outcome that helped cem=
ent the conservative post-revolutionary settlement.

Dear Bill,

Could I ask you to circulate amongst list members details of my new book on=
Irish families in nineteenth century Britain?

Divergent Paths: Family Histories of Irish Emigrants in Britain, 1820-1920
John Herson

The publisher URL connection (Manchester University Press) is:-

http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/cgi-bin/indexer?product=3D978071=
9090639

This book is unique in adopting a family history approach to Irish immigran=
ts in nineteenth century Britain. It shows that the family was central to t=
he migrants' lives and identities. The techniques of family and digital his=
tory are used for the first time to reveal the paths followed by a represen=
tative body of Irish immigrant families, using the town of Stafford in the =
West Midlands as a case study.

The book contains vital evidence about the lives of ordinary families. In t=
he long term many intermarried with the local population, but others moved =
away and some simply died out. The book investigates what forces determined=
the paths they followed and why their ultimate fates were so varied.

A fascinating picture is revealed of family life and gender relations in ni=
neteenth-century England which will appeal to scholars of Irish history, so=
cial history, genealogy and the history of the family.

New Hibernia Review's Spring, 2015 issue (vol. 19, no. 1) will mail soon. H=
ere is a capsule description of the contents:

* "The Hurley-Maker's Son" by Patrick Deeley is the poet's memoir of =
a childhood in the Callows area of East Galway in 1950s and early '60s, on =
the eve of Ireland's great modernization in the era of Se=E1n Lemass.

* "Richard F. Outcault's Hogan's Alley and the Irish of New York's Fo=
urth Ward, 1895-96" by Jonathan Bolton of Auburn University examines (with =
illustrations) the cartoon portrait of the Irish community in New York City=
at the end of the nineteenth century. The cartoonist often advanced stereo=
types, but was also prescient about the rising fortunes of the Irish.

* "Animal Welfare in Post-Union Ireland" by Helen O'Connell of the Un=
iversity of Durham looks at the extraordinary interest, on the part of Engl=
ish and Anglo-Irish reformers in the early 1800s, in "civilizing" the Irish=
by reining in animal cruelty.

* The "Fil=EDocht Nua-New Poetry" section presents a selection of new=
work from Mary Noonan, a poet living and teaching in Cork City and the aut=
hor of The Fado House (2012).

* "The 'Troubles' and Modern Memory: Remembering and Forgetting in Gl=
enn Patterson's That Which Was" by Matthew McGuire of the University of Wes=
tern Sydney (Australia) considers the 2005 novel by the Northern Ireland no=
velist. McGuire holds that the novel offers fresh ways of addressing the di=
fficult issue of memory in a post-conflict society.

* "'They Make Us Feel Like Family': A Cultural Reading of the Irish B=
ed and Breakfast" by E. Moore Quinn of the College of Charleston provides a=
n anthropological reading of the Irish B&B experience-an experience often l=
inked to the tourists' quest for a sense of "home."

* "Containing Granuaile: Grace O'Malley in Two Nineteenth-Century Nov=
els" by Patrick Maume, a prolific researcher at the Dictionary of Irish Bio=
graphy, compares two fictional portraits of Connacht's "pirate queen" and f=
inds that the novels were very much shaped by the authors' political opinio=

* "The Shooting of Brigadier-General George Adamson, 1922" by Gear=F3=
id =D3 Faolean, an independent scholar now living in Switzerland, sifts thr=
ough the conflicting reports that surrounded a killing in Limerick in the u=
neasy months before the civil war. The incident involved prominent members =
of the Free State army and government.

* "Families Can Be Awful Places": The Toxic Parents of Claire Keega=
n's Fiction" by Vivian Valvano Lynch of St. John's University considers the=
disturbing portraits of bad parents in stories by the young Irish writer. =
Lynch argues that the present day reflects a new, more sensitive awareness =

Dear Colleagues

If any of you are in the Liverpool area and would like to celebrate St.
Patrick's Day with some fellow ex-pats and Irish studies enthusiasts you

Ireland which has just been published by Irish Academic Press (for more on
the book see here:
http://irishacademicpress.ie/product/sexual-politics-in-modern-ireland/)

self-promotion of sorts (!) but it would just be great to have more Irish
studies and women's history people at the event.

My co-editors are Dr Sonja Tiernan (Liverpool Hope University), Dr Sandra
McAvoy (University College Cork) and Dr Mary McAuliffe (University College
Dublin), who all are or have been members of the executive of the Women=E2=
=80=99s
History Association of Ireland.

I will be giving a talk on my chapter 4pm in the Senate Room at Liverpool
Hope University. For further information contact Dr. Sonja Tiernan (
tiernas[at]hope.ac.uk). All are welcome to attend.The launch will be by Dr.
Diane Urquhart, University of Liverpool, in the Senior Common Room, Hilda

St Columba, or Colum Cille, built one of the greatest Irish monastic and =
cultural foundations of the middle ages, on the island of Iona off the =
west coast of Scotland, in the 560s. From
there missionaries set out to convert much of Scotland and northern =

Columba died in 597 and one hundred years later his distant kinsman and =
successor as abbot of Iona, Adomnan, wrote a Life of his patron that has =
been described as perhaps
the most sophisticated saint=E2=80=99s Life written in western Europe in =

CALL FOR PAPERS

Programme commences on Friday evening with keynote and reception followed b=
y full day of papers and keynotes on Saturday at the Twickenham campus.

Much of the Irish story in the twentieth century was about Ireland=92s tran=
sformation from being a neglected corner of the British Empire to its emerg=
ence as one of the world=92s most globalized societies. However, the first =
decade of the twenty-first century exposed the country to a world financial=
crisis in an acute form. The resulting socio-economic transformation is gi=
ven greater perspective by considering it over a longer period, and connect=
ing its manifestations in various other domains from consumerism to religio=
n, from migration to the mass media. The need for transformation in Ireland=
has been generated as much by critiques of institutions such as the Cathol=
ic Church, the political system and other public bodies, such as the health=
service, as by the collapse of the Celtic Tiger. Since 2008, emigration ha=
s predictably accelerated again although its character is qualitatively dif=
ferent from previous phases of outward migration.

This conference takes =91transformation=92 and =91agents/agency=92 as key t=
erms that involve a consideration of fundamental changes in the way Irish s=
ociety is organised, ruled, imaged and perceived. Social transformation lie=
s at the radical end of conceptions of social change and implies fundamenta=
l changes in society=92s core institutions, the polity, the economy, and cu=
ltural production. Papers are invited which engage with the issue of social=
transformation across the disciplinary spectrum which, while acknowledging=
the political and economic basis of the crisis acknowledge that its conseq=
uences are as much existential as economic, psychological as well as politi=
cal. Presentations are welcomed which look to the effects of the crisis on =
all aspects of private and public life and their historical contextualisati=
on, recording, realisation and representation in forms as diverse as music,=
mass demonstrations, theatre, migration, membership of the EU and constitu=
tional reform. The multiple manifestations of the consequences of crisis as=
Ireland engages with what Fintan O=92Toole termed =91the hard task of maki=
ng a republic.=92

Proposals for 20 min papers (no more than 300 words with name and affiliati=
on) may be sent to Samantha Walcot, Administrator, Centre for Irish Studies=

Greetings Bill Mulligan,
A new discussion has been posted in H-Albion.

CFP: Shared Histories: Media Connections Between Britain and Ireland,
Dublin, 6-7 July 2016
by James O'Donnell
*Shared Histories: Media Connections Between Britain and Ireland.*

*A conference, to be held in Dublin, 6-7th July 2016.*

*Call For Papers.*

 

The relationship between Ireland and the rest of the British Isles has a long
and complex history. One key dimension has been the connections and
interactions between the various media of communication – print and
electronic – which have mediated this relationship. This conference seeks
to address this important, but relatively neglected, topic at a timely moment
in the history of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.

The conference organisers want to take a long view as well as look in detail
at particular moments. It therefore invites papers from the sixteenth century
onwards, dealing with all forms of media (print, periodical, broadcasting,
ephemera) as well as with structures of ownership, regulation, distribution
and identity.

The conference will examine the different kinds of media interactions from
the arrival of print to the emergence of broadcasting, under what conditions
they operated and to what effect.  How did these interactions take place?
What were the networks through which material flowed? What were the major
developments in the content and reception of the media from the sixteenth
century onwards? How helpful is it to think in terms of distinctive
