Brazil as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and enrichment for a =
wide range of creative endeavours. Contributions will be drawn from the =
fields of fine arts, music, theatre, cinema, photography, literature, =

A Political Life

Paul A. Pickering is recognized as one of the leading scholars on
Chartism and popular and radical politics in Victorian Britain. His
new book, a political biography of Feargus O'Connor, Chartism's "Lion
of Freedom," is a completely accessible historical biography, intended
for a popular audience. There is another feature to this book that
also makes it unique. Pickering's intention was to give voice to the
areas of O'Connor's life and career not typically examined,
specifically his pre-Chartist and later Chartist activities. By
giving less attention to the most closely examined and successful
period of O'Connor's story, Pickering has chosen to look at his
personal maturation and mental decline to "better understand his
ideas, both those which were quickly overtaken and those that were
ahead of their time" (p. 2).

This book does just that. The first four chapters, nearly half the
biography, tell not just the story of Feargus as a boy and young man,
but the story of the O'Connor family and the expectations that went
with such an association. O'Connor was born to fight injustice, lead
others, and raise the expectations of the poor that they were entitled
to do more and have more. The son of Roger O'Connor, a compassionate
landlord and barrister and nephew of United Irishman leader Arthur
O'Connor, Feargus was fully aware of his family's reputation as
descendants of the "royal" O'Connor clan, champions of the defeated
and vulnerable Irish peasants, and passionate nationalists. The
declining family fortunes, death of his mother, and arrest of his
father for a coach robbery ended his formal education; his decision to
begin legal training in Dublin was divisive within the family that saw
this as an affront to O'Connors' Celtic roots.

Study law, he did however, and this, we learn, solidified his moral
and political beliefs, as well as launched his public career.
O'Connor's first prominent defense was of a poor man facing
transportation for stealing a goose. O'Connor defended the man on the
grounds that the man was indeed guilty of theft, but stole the goose
only to feed his family. Equating poverty and crime, O'Connor found
his political voice and average people found their champion. His
advocacy moved from the law courts to the larger political arena. The
case ended as the national agitation for a parliamentary reform bill
emerged. Never a strong supporter of Catholic emancipation or Daniel
O'Connell, the undisputed leader of Irish politics--both parliamentary
and popular--O'Connor chose not to ally himself with O'Connell and the
proponents of the Whig reform bill. Reform, he argued, sent the
message to the Irish poor that emancipation would cure all their ills,
leaving them little personal responsibility to end their poverty.
Instead, O'Connor argued, repeal of the Union and democratic
representation were the answers to Irish problems.

He drew large crowds throughout Cork to hear speeches described as
bombastic, full of "political dramaturgy" using fanciful description
to draw the listener into the political picture, even when he had no
vote at stake (p. 33). Though O'Connor was discounted as a viable
candidate, freeholders exercised their right to vote, often for the
first time, to support O'Connor and "Ould Ireland." O'Connor's return
to Parliament was a milestone for both the man and the nation of
Ireland. As he told his supporters, he was proud to be "the first man
who had the boldness to rescue from the hands of the Aristocracy your
privileges" (p. 38). He immediately advocated "Total Abolition" of
tithes and repeal of the Irish Union, challenging O'Connell's
authority. O'Connor portrayed O'Connell's Whig alliance in Lichfield
House compact as a betrayal of the Irish people. O'Connor's political
"independence" throughout 1834 deprived him of any parliamentary
allies, antagonized many, and, ultimately, resulted in a parliamentary
inquiry that deprived him of his seat by disqualification.

He then turned to English radical politics as the next logical step in
his political career, challenging the seat in Oldham vacated by the
death of Radical-Populist, William Cobbett. This split the liberal
votes for the seat, allowing a Tory to be elected. Rather than see
this as a defeat, O'Connor turned it into a positive, declaring that
he would challenge Whig, Tory, and Radical alike if candidates and
politicians failed to work toward reform, democracy, and fairness for
the working man and the poor. Hence, the failure in Oldham took him
directly to the extraparliamentary organization emerging in
Manchester: Chartism. This is, of course, what all students and
scholars most associate with O'Connor, have read the most about, and
therefore, what Pickering chooses not to discuss in much detail. The
Chartist campaign, _The Northern Star_, and his land reform programs
comprise two chapters in this study, Pickering himself referring the
reader to the previous biographies on O'Connor by Donald Read and Eric
Glasgow (_Feargus O'Connor, Irishman and Chartist_ [1961]) and James
Epstein (_The Lion of Freedom: Feargus O'Connor and the Chartist
Movement, 1837-1842_ [1982]).

True to his objective, he moves to the "later Chartist activities"
that defined O'Connor's legacy. The success of his first Chartist
estate in Hertfordshire in 1846 and his successful parliamentary
return as member of Parliament for Nottingham, one year later, show
both his perseverance in matters of political reform and expansion of
the franchise, but also brought him full circle, politically speaking,
back to his early days in the Irish political campaigns in Cork. His
expanded appreciation for the rights of people and the vote made his
argument universal, rather than those of an Irish politician, but his
position inside the Commons made for strained relations with some
prominent Chartists. At the same time, his Irish "mission" also
reflected the dramatically changed nature of Irish popular politics
since his time in England. Repeal was justified in nationalistic
terms, and O'Connell had been replaced by Charles Gavan Duffy, Young
Ireland, and new land reform strategy. Losing touch was exacerbated
by increased romantic theatricality and unpredictable outbursts,
ultimately resulting in his mental commitment and death in 1855. How
Chartist leaders struggled to commemorate him reflected deep divisions
within the popular political reform movement to which he devoted his
whole adult life.

Pickering's biography succeeds in bringing the many facets of
O'Connor's work and struggles to life. It is completely readable,
scholarly, and totally accessible to students and general interest
readers alike. More significantly, it devotes attention to the
conditions that made O'Connor an advocate for the working man and the
politically oppressed. It helps us understand how frustrations with
Irish politics led to his best-known role, leader of an English
political and socioeconomic reform movement; and how divisions there,
brought him back, however unsuccessfully, to pick up the Irish cause
at the end of his political life. Pickering thoroughly humanizes the
great "Lion of Freedom," rendering him more sympathetic and, perhaps,
historically relevant than previously believed.

'Now every night can be Burns night

* Brian Morton
* The Observer, Sunday 25 January 2009

On the 250th anniversary of his birth, Robert Burns seems both remote and
ever more urgently at hand. His essential unknowability disturbs Scots, the
more so because he is so universally recognised. An international Burns cult
somehow denies Scotland the enjoyment of a local boy made good, or gone
attractively and forgivably wrong.

I've never been able to avoid him. I grew up in the shadow of one of his
mistresses, an effigy of "Highland Mary" whose plaid perhaps conceals a
pregnancy, gazing away towards Ayrshire.'

Elaine Sisson, enter stage left: The influence of European Modernism on
Stage Design in Ireland (c.1918-1932) This paper proposes
that stage design offers a means of establishing visual links to an
aesthetically radical European modernism which was being
explored by a post-Revolutionary generation of Irish artists and =
writers.
Existing histories and critical studies of Irish theatre
privilege literary approaches and consequently a rich seam of contextual
visual material and information has been neglected.=20
Given theatre=92s important cultural role in shaping questions of =
national
identity, enter stage left argues that the study of
theatre as spectacle is crucial to an understanding of how contemporary
Irish audiences were introduced to avant-garde ideas. Dr

The Persistence of the `Old' Idea of Culture and the Peace Process in
Ireland

Andrew Finlay

Trinity College, Dublin, arfinlay[at]tcd.ie

This article is less concerned with the weaknesses of the old
anthropological idea of culture than with how and why, despite these
weaknesses, it has retained such influence with the liberal state. It
approaches these questions using a case study in the management of conflict:
the peace process in Ireland and the agreement reached ten years ago on Good
Friday 1998. According to some, the model on which the Good Friday Agreement
(GFA) is based - usually referred to as consociational - has become the
default position of the international community when it comes to the
management of conflict. In line with consociational principles, the GFA
accords cultural rights to two specific communities - something that is at
odds with the traditional liberal idea that rights accrue to individuals.
Focusing on several key debates, the article traces the influence of ideas
about culture and identity on the peace process. Crucial here is that the
`old' idea of culture justifies a conflation of individual and collective,
communal identity such that the former is understood as dependent on the
latter. The respect that liberalism traditionally accords to the individual
is thereby extended to the group of which s/he is a member. Finally,
considering the role of anthropologists in the Irish case, the article
concludes by querying what it is that is specifically anthropological about
the old idea.

Liminality, if interpreted as a concern with borders and states of =
in-betweenness, is a widespread theme in Irish literature and culture, =
which is perhaps not surprising considering the colonial and =
postcolonial background of Ireland. The liminal, from the Latin word =
limen, meaning =C2=ABa threshold=C2=BB, can be broadly defined as a =
transitional place of becoming. It is a borderland state of ambiguity =
and indeterminacy, leading those who participate in the process to new =
perspectives and possibilities.

This collection of essays examines the theme of liminality in Irish =
literature and culture against the philosophical discourse of modernity =
and focuses on representations of liminality in contemporary Irish =
literature, art and film in a variety of contexts. The book is divided =
into four sections. The first part deals with theoretical aspects of =
liminal states. Other sections focus on liminal narratives and explore =
drama as liminal rites of passage, while the last part examines =
transformative spaces in contemporary Irish women=E2=80=99s poetry.

Dear Paddy,

CFP RE: "The Irish and Race in Transnational Perspective"

Cian McMahon (Carnegie Mellon) and Paul Townend (UNC-Wilmington) are
looking for a chair/commentator and two paper presenters to complete a
panel we are organizing for the American Historical Association's January
2010 national conference in San Diego, CA. The theme of the conference
is "Oceans, Islands, Continents" and our panel is provisionally entitled
"The Irish and Race in Transnational Perspective." Historians of Ireland
and Irish migration agree that we need to transcend the nation-state as
the basic unit of analysis but are at odds as to how to do so effectively. By focusing on race and racial identity, we hope to probe
some new, transnational directions in Irish history.

The AHA's deadline is 15 Feb so abstracts of 200 words should be sent as soon as possible to Cian McMahon at cianm[at]andrew.cmu.edu

Thanks,

Cian McMahon

Scots, Britons and Europeans: Scottish military service, c.1739-1783

Author: Conway, Stephen1

Source: Historical Research, Volume 82, Number 215, February 2009 , pp.
114-130(17)

Publisher: Blackwell Publishing


Abstract:

This article explores eighteenth-century Scottish military service in a way
that moves beyond debates about its role in the formation of Britishness. It
makes some comparisons with Irish experience, and argues that many Scottish
soldiers of the time were part of a wider European fraternity of military
men. A study of their lives provides us with a window onto a comparatively
neglected bigger subject - European consciousness among the
eighteenth-century British and Irish.
