SUMMARY:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series - Semester 2\, 2018-19
DESCRIPTION:Artwork by Desdemona McCannon  \nDr Pippa Marland (Moore Institute Visiting Fellow)\, “‘The world-hungry art of words’: form and content in Tim Robinson’s Stones of Aran”\, \n  \nA chairde\, \nYou are invited to attend our forthcoming seminar as part of the Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, Semester 2\, 2018-19. We are delighted to welcome Dr Pippa Marland from the University of Leeds as an Irish Studies’ Scholar through the Moore Institute Visiting Fellowship Scheme this year. Dr Marland will deliver her seminar entitled\, “‘The world-hungry art of words’: form and content in Tim Robinson’s Stones of Aran”\, at 4pm on Thursday 28 March\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies. \nThis seminar will explores the content and form of Robinson’s Aran writings – looking at what it might mean for the literature of place to be both ‘world-hungry’ and artful – and will draw on research in the James Hardiman Library’s Tim Robinson archive. In particular it will explore the ways in which Robinson orders and condenses material from his extensive Aran notebooks and diaries into the final complex\, challenging form of the Aran books. \nBeidh fáilte roimh chách! \nLe gach dea-ghuí\, \nNessa \n  \nDr Nessa Cronin\, Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. \n‘The world-hungry art of words’: form and content in Tim Robinson’s Stones of Aran \nSmall islands\, as Robert Macfarlane points out\, foster ‘dreams of total knowledge’. This is precisely the effect that Árainn has on the writer Tim Robinson\, who\, in the Stones of Aran diptych\, does indeed set out to describe the island in its totality. It is a demanding task – one that moves the erstwhile visual artist and cartographer into the realm of ‘the world-hungry art of words’. \nThis is a telling phrase\, not least in its deployment of the word ‘art’. Non-fiction\, place-based writing is often assumed to forgo artfulness in favour of mimetic representation. The ecocritic Dana Phillips\, reacting against the focus of first wave American ecocriticism on this particular genre\, argues that it is ‘one of literature’s more pedestrian\, least artful aspects’\, with the implication that the critic’s time would be better spent on more sophisticated literary forms. Robinson is undoubtedly pedestrian\, in the very literal sense that his knowledge of the island is gained\, as he states in an interview\, through walking the ‘network of tender little fields and bleak rocky shores of Aran’ until ‘I could have printed off a map of them by rolling on a sheet of paper’. However\, his writing is also artful: highly-wrought and formally complex\, as the tension between his dream of total knowledge and the ways in which the island constantly exceeds that knowledge plays out through the text. \nThis seminar will focus on the content and form of Robinson’s Aran writings – looking at what it might mean for the literature of place to be both ‘world-hungry’ and artful – and will draw on research in the James Hardiman Library’s Tim Robinson archive. In particular it will explore the ways in which Robinson orders and condenses material from his extensive Aran notebooks and diaries into the final complex\, challenging form of the Aran books. \n  \nDr Pippa Marland University of Leeds P.J.Marland@leeds.ac.uk \nDr Pippa Marland is a Research Fellow in the School of English at the University of Leeds\, working on the AHRC-funded ‘Land Lines: Modern British Nature Writing’ project. She received her PhD from the University of Worcester in 2016\, where she was also a lecturer\, with a thesis on ‘The Island Imagination’ – a study of the representation of ‘islandness’ in contemporary non-fiction. A significant section of the thesis was devoted to Tim Robinson’s Aran writings – Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage and Stones of Aran: Labyrinth – and\, indeed\, Robinson’s concept of the ‘good step’\, a motif that runs through both volumes of the Aran diptych\, lies at the heart of the research.  She is in the process of preparing a book based on her PhD entitled Ecocriticism and the Island: Readings from the British-Irish Archipelago\, due to be published in the Rowman and Littlefield series ‘Rethinking the Island’ series in early 2020. She is also working on a co-edited collection for Routledge – Walking\, Landscape\, and Environment \, forthcoming in 2019. She has published widely on ecocriticism\, new nature writing\, ecopoetry\, and archipelagic perspectives\, and was recipient of both the EASLCE and the ASLE-UK and Ireland awards for Best Postgraduate Essay in Ecocriticism\, for articles on W.G. Sebald and Kathleen Jamie\, respectively. During 2019 she will be taking up a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship\, also at the University of Leeds\, studying the representation of farming in modern British nature writing. \nWhile at the Moore Institute as a Visiting Fellow\, Dr Marland will be carrying out research on the Tim Robsinon archive in the James Hardiman Library\, looking in particular at the way in which Robinson condenses and orders material from his extensive Aran notebooks and diaries into the final\, complex and challenging form of the Aran diptych. She will be presenting her findings at a guest seminar for the Irish Studies Spring series at NUI Galway.

SUMMARY:Art as Activism?Educ-actors: from context to text. Rethinking education on peace\, conflict transformation\, social justice and global citizenship through the lens of the arts
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nA seminar/workshop with Daniel Fernandez\, Visiting Research Fellow\, Moore Institute. \nEducation is at the centre of the ethical\, socio-political and environmental crisis we are currently experiencing. As expressed by UNESCO in its Program of Action for the Creation of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence\, the hope of emerging from this global crisis lies in imparting values\, attitudes and behaviours through education that reflect and inspire sharing through social interaction and fostering the distinctive faculties of the human species: commitment\, reflection\, imagination\, creativity and facilitating intercultural communication. UNESCO’s vision would seem to be a world at peace. Yet the meaning of peace is often assumed to be settled by those who advance the cause of peace\, even if this entails appropriating the narratives of the oppressed\, and even though – as argued by Oliver Richmond and J. P. Lederach – many attempts at conflict resolution have ended in co-optation\, i.e. attempts to forcibly abolish disharmony in situations where people are raising legitimate issues about social justice\, reconciliation\, identity\, gender\, culture\, or development among others. \nIn my practice I approach peace as an agonistic process\, and have been developing a methodology based on the exploration of how people effect change through the imbrication of art\, protest\, dialogue and activism in Mexico (performance and peace education through dance)\, Egypt (street art in Tahrir Square during the Arab Spring)\, Catalonia (site-specific art installation)\, and Colombia (indigenous\, gender-based\, audiovisual sovereignty). In this seminar/workshop I will screen my short documentary entitled “EDUC-ACTORS: FROM CONTEXT TO TEXT”\, filmed in Tahir Square\, Egypt with participants of the Arab Spring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKgzZxH841I&t=39s. I also discuss how the learning derived from this fieldwork has been incorporated into a pedagogical programme piloted at the Autonomous University of Madrid and the Autonomous University of Barcelona\, and I present feedback from academic and students who participated in the pilot phase of the project. \nDaniel Fernández is a Rotary Peace Fellow and holds an MA in Peace and Conflict Resolution from the International University Tokyo\, Japan. He also holds a post-graduate Diploma in Integrative Coaching processes. Daniel’s work is at the cutting edge of socially-engaged art\, and the concerns at the heart of his practice traverse the arts\, humanities and social sciences.  He has worked extensively in conflict zones including Palestine\, Columbia and the Western Sahara. His work focuses primarily on the importance of Memory and Intercultural Dialogue in diverse locations including Spain\, Mexico\, Japan\, Bolivia\, Colombia and Egypt. He is interested in learning from non-western perspectives in dealing with the past and envisioning present and future global coexistence based in processes of decolonization of knowledge and cultural paradigms. He is a visiting scholar at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University\, USA.  He is currently developing the educational project “Educ-actors: from context to text. Rethinking the education on peace\, conflict transformation\, social justice and global citizenship through the lens of the Arts”\, with the Fundación Cultura de Paz under the mentorship of its president\, Dr. Federico Mayor Zaragoza\, former General Director of UNESCO. The educational project has been funded by the Catalan Department of Foreign Action and Institutional Relations through its Catalan Agency for Cooperation and Development. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Sacred Well: Irish Myth\, Play-writing and Process by Adam Wyeth
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nWith a reading from APARTMENT BLOCK\, with actress Paula McGlinchey \nIn this talk\, Adam Wyeth will discuss some of the areas surrounding his writing process as a playwright\, which have been inspired from his poetry and studying Irish myth. While his plays do not overtly deal in mythology\, Wyeth will reveal how core aspects of Irish myth and Celtic art – seen as an alternative form to the classic – feed into the themes and the shapes of his plays. Arguing for a mythic imagination – which is separate from the fantasy genre in fiction – Wyeth seeks to bring back myth to its true sense\, as metaphor. ‘The dungeons\,’ he writes\, ‘are in homes and the dragons in our hearts.’ Wyeth seeks to create a drama\, which like mythology\, is not aimed at proving anything but rather at modifying something\, at subtly shifting the sense of ourselves\, or the world\, that we hold. In this sense\, his plays do not aim for simplistic clarity or ‘realism’\, but rather for the expression and ‘holding’ of ambiguity\, mystery and ambivalence. Wyeth will end his talk with a reading from an extract of his play APARTMENT BLOCK with actress\, Paula McGlinchey. The play is currently in production for its world premiere Off-Broadway\, New York. \nBio \nAdam Wyeth lives in Dublin where he is currently an Associate Artist of the Civic Theatre. He is the author of two critically acclaimed poetry collections with Salmon Poetry\, Silent Music (2011)\, which was Highly Commended for the Forward Poetry Prize\, and The Art of Dying (2016)\, an Irish Times Book of the Year. In 2013\, Salmon published his essays\, The Hidden World of Poetry: Unravelling Celtic Mythology in Contemporary Irish Poetry\, which contains poems from Ireland’s leading poets followed by sharp essays that unpack each poem and explore its Celtic mythological references.Wyeth’s plays have been produced in Ireland\, Germany and New York. His first play Hang Up\, produced by Broken Crow (2013)\, has been staged at many festivals\, including the electric Picnic\, the Home Festival\, Cork\, and the Galway Theatre festival. In 2014\, it was adapted into a film and premiered at Cork’s International Film Festival. The play was also staged in 2015 in Berlin as part of ‘An evening of Adam Wyeth’ at Theater forum Kreuzberg. Wyeth’s second play\,Lifedeath\, was showcased at the Triskel Arts Centre minifestival of new work in December 2013 and was named by the Irish Examiner as the play of the festival. It was presented at University College Cork’s Theatre Festival\, 2014\, and staged at engage Arts Festival\, Bandon\, 2014. His play Apartment Block was presented in New York at the Bank Street Theatre Off-Off-Broadway in 2017. A major new Off- Broadway production is currently in development for its world premiere. Wyeth runs online creative writing workshops and editing programmes at adamwyeth.com and Fishpublishing.com.
