From: Marc Scully Subject: Irish Journal of Sociology special section on Contemporary Irish Emigration MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Message-ID: {decoded}Dear colleagues, You may be interested in the latest issue of the Irish Journal of Sociology which contains a special section on Contemporary Irish Emigration, edited by Mary Hickman and Louise Ryan: http://irj.sagepub.com/content/23/2.toc . The section arose from a symposium held at the Centre for Irish Studies at St. Marys University, Twickenham last year and contains, among others, an article by me on the way 1950s emigration is used in contemporary discourses of present-day migration: http://irj.sagepub.com/content/23/2/133.abstract I believe the issue is currently open-access, although Im unsure how long this will last!

Commenting on recent developments in "Irish" writing, Professor Declan Kiberd has observed: =93Even as young people from Poland, France, = Nigeria, and China flowed into Dublin, Irish authors began to make a point of setting some of their novels in New York, Berlin or Central America.

It is entitled 'Robert Briscoe: Sinn Fein Revolutionary, Fianna Fail Nationalist and Revisionist Zionist'. Using previously unavailable archives, it illuminates Briscoe's importance to the nationalist project of Eamon de Valera, as well as revealing the major role Briscoe assumed in the New Zionist Organisation (Revisionists) under the charismatic leadership of Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Hopefully this might be of interest to your readers. Regards, Kevin McCarthy (Dr), -- kevin McCarthy | |

Summits can be defined as viewpoints, allowing explorers to look back to where they started, or to discern patterns not visible from ground level. Summits can also be considered the high point of achievement or quality. Finally, summits can be meetings that allow for cooperation and new endeavors among nations or disciplines. After more than forty years of hosting summits of Irish scholars in Canada and abroad, CAIS/ACEI recognizes that current viewpoints were gained from standing on previous work done in Irish and Irish Canadian studies. A summit of Irish studies also provides a glimpse of new vistas, whether they be a reevaluation of existing fields in Irish studies or exploration of emerging areas including eco-criticism, gender and sexuality studies, material culture, emerging medias, new perspectives on immigration and diaspora, commemoration and memory studies in the context of historic anniversaries, including but not limited to the Easter Rising and World War I. Hosted in the beautiful Canadian Rockies in Banff, Summits: New Perspectives and New Vistas in Irish Studies is an inter-disciplinary conference welcoming proposals for papers that offer new scholarship in Irish Studies, or investigate new fields of study in an Irish, Irish-Canadian or Irish- Transnational context. Subjects include but are not limited to: New perspectives on Irish and/or Irish-Canadian history New perspectives on the Easter Rising Commemoration and Memory Studies Irish Diaspora and/or new patterns of immigration to and from Ireland Irish language and culture Ireland and Austerity Studies/Ireland in the EU Gender and sexuality studies Popular Culture New perspectives on Irish in Canada/other Irish diasporic communities New perspectives on the Irish in Western Canada/Western United States Please send your 300-word proposal and 50-word bio by December 31, 2015 to mholmgren[at]mtroyal.ca, or by mail to Michele Holmgren, Department of English, Mount Royal University, Calgary, AB Canada T3E6K6.

From: William Mulligan Subject: Fwd: New Book In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-ID: I am happy to announce the publication of *George Bernard Shaw in Context * (Cambridge University Press). For those who might be interested in buying their own copies; if you purchase the book via CUP's website and enter the code you can take advantage of a 20% discount. To pre-order this title please visit www.cambridge.org/9781107047457, discount code Kent15. For list members who are engaged with the Irish diaspora, there are a number of chapters devoted to Shaw's relation to Ireland and his life as an Irishman living abroad, and one that focuses on the production of his plays on North American stages. Best wishes, Brad *** New Book *** *George Bernard Shaw in Context*, ed. Brad Kent (Cambridge University Press, 2015) When Shaw died in 1950, the world lost one of its most well-known authors, a revolutionary who was as renowned for his personality as he was for his humour, humanity, and rebellious thinking. He remains a compelling figure who deserves attention not only for how influential he was in his time, but for how relevant he is to ours. This collection sets Shaw's life and achievements in context, with 42 scholarly essays devoted to subjects that interested him and defined his work. Contributors explore a wide range of themes, moving from factors that were formative in Shaw's life, to the artistic work that made him most famous and the institutions with which he worked, to the political and social issues that consumed much of his attention, and, finally, to his influence and reception. Presenting fresh material and arguments, this collection will point to new directions of research for future scholars. Table of Contents Preface A chronology of Shaw's works Part I.

Book: Israelites in Erin: Exodus, Revolution, | |

Sender: The Irish Diaspora Studies List
From: corkman[at]MURRAY-KY.NET Subject: Book: Israelites in Erin: Exodus, Revolution, and the Irish Revival MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: Thanks to Maureen E. Mulvihill for calling this to our attention. Prof. Abby Bender launches Israelites in Erin: Exodus, Revolution, and the Irish Revival Thursday, December 10, 7:00 p.m. at Glucksman Ireland House NYU Prof. Abby Bender, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Irish Studies at Glucksman Ireland House, launches her new book, Israelites in Erin: Exodus, Revolution, and the Irish Revival. From the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century, the story of the Israelites liberation from bondage in Egypt served as the archetypal narrative for the birth of the Irish nation. Exodus was critical to both colonial and anticolonial conceptions of Ireland and Irishness. Although the IrishIsraelite analogy has been cited often, a thorough exploration has never before been documented. Professor Abby Bender successfully fills this gap with Israelites in Erin. Drawing upon both canonical and little-known texts of the Literary Revival, including works by Joyce, plays by Lady Gregory, and political writings by Charles Stewart Parnell and Patrick Pearse, Bender highlights the centrality of Exodus in Ireland. With extensive research and remarkable insight, Israelites in Erin inaugurates a compelling new critical conversation. Bender has achieved a stellar analysis of how and why the Biblical narrative of Exodus was appropriated, contested, obscured, and reinvigorated by literary and political thinkers in Ireland. The argument is equally cogent and compelling whether she is examining the language of journalism or the dizzying complexities of James Joyce. Equally impressive and sophisticated is her subtle and nuanced portrait of the complications and paradoxes of Exodus itself.Marjorie Howes, coeditor of Semicolonial Joyce This book is a terrific and eye-opening work of cultural/literary scholarship. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, broadly and convincingly resonant in its conclusions and implications, this study will contribute significantly to Irish studies, Jewish studies, and literary studies especiallybut also to postcolonial studies and to the study of nationalism and nation-formation. Vincent J. Cheng, author of Joyce, Race, and Empire Introduction by Prof. John Waters, Clinical Assistant Professor of Irish Studies at Glucksman Ireland House NYU. NYU Bookstore will have copies of the book for sale at the event. Preorder: http://syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/fall-2015/israelites-in-erin.html | |

Book Announcement: Oscar Wilde and Paris | |

From: D C Rose Subject: Book Announcement: Oscar Wilde and Paris MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-ID: OSCAR WILDE AND PARIS I am pleased to announce that on 1st December, Cambridge Scholars published my *Oscar Wilde=E2=80=99s Elegant Republic: Transformation, Dislocation and= Fantasy in fin-de-si=C3=A8cle Paris*. This work examines the life of Paris as a pla= ce of noise, exile and cunning, using Oscar Wilde as stalking horse and with a large and colourful supporting cast, from duchesses to telephonists, artists to beggars, dancers to diplomats. Why was Paris so popular as a place both of innovation and of exile in the late nineteenth century? Intended as the first volume of a trilogy, using French, English and American sources, the book attempts to provide a possible answer with a detailed exploration of both the city and its communities. Through the throng moves Oscar Wilde as the connecting thread: Wilde exploratory, Wilde triumphant, Wilde ruined. Thus we gain both a history of Paris and a view of how Wilde assimilated himself there. By interweaving fictional representations of Paris and Parisians with historical narrative, Paris of the imagination is blended with the topography of the city described by Victor Hugo as =E2=80=98this great phan= tom c Written to scholarly standards, it is couched in language accessible to all who wish to explore Paris on foot or from desk or armchair. This is an original treatment of the belle =C3=A9poque. More information at http://www.cambridgescholars.com/oscar-wildes-elegant-republic D.C.

Thanks much. Ed Hagan To my Irish Studies compatriots, I write to draw your attention to my memoir of my year in Vietnam: *To Vietnam in Vain: Memoir of an Irish-American Intelligence Advisor, 1969-70. *It has just been published. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Vietnam-Vain-Irish-American-Intelligence-1969-1970/dp/0786499672/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450033476&sr=8-1&keywords=To+Vietnam+in+vain Irish-Americans served in the American military in very high numbers. (Check out the number of guys named "Murphy" who are listed on the Vietnam Wall in Washington.) Very little has been written about the war from the Irish-American viewpoint. My memoir offers one picture of the Vietnam War as it was perceived by the Irish-Americans of Inwood, then the largest Irish neighborhood in New York. I hope you'll consider reading about my experience as the son of Irish immigrants, raised to be a loyal American Catholic patriot, who found himself in a war of dubious honor. My story is certainly one of the Irish Diaspora. I'll be happy to receive any commentary about the book and am available to speak about it. All the best for the holidays. Ed Hagan | |
