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!

With regards,

Marc

"The Worlding of Irish Studies"


American Conference for Irish Studies 2016 National Meeting at the
University of Notre Dame

March 30th-April 3rd, 2016

Website: acis.nd.edu

Twitter: https://twitter.com/[at]acis2016/ Facebook: ACIS 2016

CALL FOR PAPERS: Paper and panel proposals will be accepted from =
September
1st to December 5, 2015 (original deadline extended for 3 weeks)

The 2016 National Meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies =
will
be hosted by the Keough-Naughton Institute
for Irish Studies, part of the University of Notre Dame's new Keough =
School
of Global Affairs . It will take place on the
University of Notre Dame's campus in Indiana from March 30th-April 3rd,
2016.

"The Worlding of Irish Studies" provides a theme for the 2016 American
Conference for Irish Studies' annual gathering. With Irish Studies
increasingly seen through multinational eyes, this meeting will address =
the
current placement of Ireland and Irish Studies.=20

Is Ireland transnational? With seventy million people of Irish =
extraction
all over the world, the diaspora was more wildly successful=97and more
demographically complex=97than scholars have yet imagined. This =
reexamination
will weigh whether Ireland might be most productively understood as a
post-colonial nation or a fully integrated European country. We will =
look to
other peoples=92 experiences in comparative studies; the effects of
globalization on Ireland=97its economy, literature and people; the =
north-south
divide; and the ownership of the concept of what it means to be "Irish."
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. Yet each of
them, once featured in the New York Times or the London Review of Books,
seemed to get re-nationalized as fast as any bank.=94

Beyond this central question, what do we do, for instance, with the =
Irish
who settled in Argentina and form the largest group of =
non-English-speaking
Irish among the millions of Irish immigrants spread across the world? Or
with the Irish in Australia, New Zealand, Central Europe, and =
Brazil=97not to
mention Canada and Mexico? Irish immigration has been a fact of life for
centuries. How far back in time can we trace the movement of Irish =
people
and when, why, and where did they go?=20

For scholars=97and especially younger scholars=97interested in exploring =
these
and other global connections, where are the chief archives and =
resources?
These are some of the questions we would like to explore. Scholars in =
Irish
Studies, literature, language, culture, history, anthropology, and =
politics;
as well as poets, archivists, librarians and independent scholars from =
all
over the world are invited to join us at this conference, to present and
further the conversation=97a conversation which, by and large, has not =
yet
been had.=20

A roundtable discussion of these and related questions will feature
Professors Declan Kiberd, Keough Professor of Irish Studies at Notre =
Dame,
and Carle Bonafous-Murat, Pr=E9sident de l'Universit=E9 Sorbonne =
Nouvelle, and
scholars of Irish Studies from programs around the world.

The year 2016 is, of course, a year of particular interest because it =
marks
the centenary of the Easter Rising, a seminal event in Ireland and world
history. The conference will take place the same month as a worldwide
broadcast on American public television, RT=C9, and the BBC of Notre =
Dame's
three-part documentary devoted to 1916, developed by Professors Br=EDona =
Nic
Dhiarmada and Christopher Fox, and narrated by Liam Neeson. =
Accordingly,
the ACIS meeting will include a screening of this 1916 documentary.=20

The meeting will also welcome plenary addresses by historian Mary Daly =
of
University College Dublin and President of the Royal Irish Academy; by
Thomas Bartlett of the University of Aberdeen; by David Dwan of Hertford
College, University of Oxford; and by Br=EDona Nic Dhiarmada, University =
of
Notre Dame. The meeting will feature poetry readings by Sin=E9ad =
Morrissey,
director of the Seamus Heaney Center for Poetry at Queen's University
Belfast and winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize; Eil=E9an N=ED =
Chuillean=E1in, Trinity
College Dublin emeritus professor and winner of the International Poetry
Prize; Conor O'Callaghan, winner of the Patrick Kavanaugh Prize; and
Caitr=EDona O'Reilly, winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature.=20

Conference participants will also enjoy an exhibit in the Hesburgh =
Library
on events surrounding the 1916 Easter Rising, as well as an evening =
lecture
performance by M=EDche=E1l =D3 S=FAilleabh=E1in, founding director of =
the World
Academy of Music at University of Limerick.

We welcome panels and papers on all things Irish. Paper proposals =
should be
no more than 250 words and panel proposals no more than 500 words. We
welcome proposals in the Irish language. The submissions will be =
reviewed by
the ACIS Program Committee (chair, Professor Christopher Fox),
Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, University of Notre Dame.
Please send any questions to ACIS.ND.2016[at]gmail.com.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to inform you of the December publication (Peter Lang) of my
monograph on the neglected achievements of Robert Briscoe, a senior member
of Dail Eireann for nearly 40 years. 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),

“We could all be saved by keeping an eye on the hill…for there it is,
Eternally, if irrelevantly, visible”(Derek Mahon)
From Croagh Patrick to the Mournes to Ben Bulben, mountains and their
summits provide a sense of scale and perspective. 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

RECOLLECTIONS OF AN IRISH-BORN DOCTOR IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY ARGENTINA

Arthur Pageitt Greene=20

(1848-1933)

Arthur Pageitt Greene was born in Ireland in 1848. When he was =
twenty-four
he emigrated to Argentina, having studied at two of the most renowned
medical schools in Europe -- the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland =
and
the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh. =20

In his Recollections, which he wrote towards the end of his life, he
described his early, adventurous years in Argentina, revalidating his
medical diploma in Buenos Aires that was required of all foreign-trained
doctors, his medical posts -- first in rural towns in the pampas, and =
later
as a senior physician at the British Hospital in Buenos Aires -- =
marriage
and the births of his children, his grief at losing his youngest brother =
to
tuberculosis. He wrote of violent crimes and revolutions prevalent in =
his
day, of diseases, suicides, and the ravages of cancer and smallpox, and =
of
his final years before retirement from medicine.=20

Arthur Pageitt Greene saw history in the making and was witness to =
political
and social changes in Argentina during the latter part of the nineteenth
century.

The Recollections, with a Foreword by Dr. John D.C. Emery, =
Head
of Institutional Relations of the British Hospital in Buenos Aires, are
arranged in chronological parts and edited by his great-great-niece, =
Susan
Wilkinson, author of Sebastian=92s Pride and Mimosa: the Life and Times =
of the
Ship that Sailed to Patagonia, who has provided a brief history of the
development of medicine in Argentina as it relates to her ancestor=92s =
medical
life in South America.=20

The Recollections will be of importance to medical historians and to =
those
with an interest in Latin American studies in Argentina. They constitute =
the
only known memoir of a doctor in nineteenth-century Argentina, written =
in
English, in existence. =20

The book is published by The Memoir Club in the UK and was launched in

*** 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.

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 Irish–Israelite 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 especially—but 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.

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.

To: William Mulligan


Bill,

I'll appreciate your distributing this notice to the Irish Diaspora List.
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

agonizing decision to abandon Collins and support the anti-Treaty stance of
his close friend and political hero, =C3=89amon de Valera, before becoming =
a
founding member of Fianna F=C3=A1il in 1926. Most importantly of all, the b=
ook
investigates Briscoe=E2=80=99s evolving Jewish awareness, looking at his
involvement in a traumatic immigration endeavour and also at his engagement
with Ze=E2=80=99ev Jabotinsky and the New Zionist Organisation, under whose
auspices he led political rescue missions to Poland, America and South
Africa.
