SUMMARY:When Red Turned Green Yellow: Ireland and Yugoslavia in the Early Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Jelena Đureinović  Moore Visiting Fellow 2019 \n \n  \nThis explores the Irish public reception of the establishment of state socialism in Yugoslavia and post-war trials that ensued\, placing it in the wider context of anti-communism in Ireland and its religious dimension. The biggest concern in the Irish public regarding communism in Eastern Europe was the treatment of the Catholic Church – its loss of power\, the rapid secularisation of society and persecution of clergy. The trials against Croatian Archbishop Stepinac and Cardinal Mindszenty from Hungary represented the most prominent causes for protest and led to the largest display of the intertwinement of the anti-communism and religion in Ireland in 1949\, when 150\,000 people gathered in the streets of Dublin. When Irish and Yugoslav national teams were supposed to play a friendly football match in 1952\, the Football Association of Ireland quietly cancelled it\, pressured by Archbishop John Charles McQuaid. The match took place in 1955\, surrounded by cancellation attempts\, calls for boycott\, and accusations against the FAI and without support of government officials or a radio broadcast. These discourses reveal that the Yugoslav football players were not welcome\, seen as representatives Josip Broz Tito\, the main persecutor of Archbishop Stepinac and the Catholic Church. \nThe talk is a part of the larger research project that examines Ireland and Yugoslavia in the Cold War. The Cold War stands in the focus as the period when both countries had to define and re-define their state identities and negotiate their sovereignty and position in the global political order. While Ireland negotiated its post-imperial sovereignty after British rule\, the Yugoslav foreign policy strived for a unique form of socialist sovereignty outside the bloc. Balancing between the micro\, national\, and transnational scales\, the research contributes to national histories of Ireland and Yugoslavia by observing them through the novel lens of each other that also goes beyond the binary understanding of the Cold War reduced to superpower rivalry. \nJelena Đureinović is an instructor of record in East European History and a Career Development Grant recipient at the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture at the University of Giessen in Germany. She submitted her PhD thesis in Modern and Contemporary History in 2018\, entitled ‘Glory for the Defeated: Memory of Second World War Collaboration\, Resistance\, and Retribution in Contemporary Serbia’\, and is currently working on turning it into a book that will be published by Routledge in 2020.

SUMMARY:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, 2018-19
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Conspiracy of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction’-Dr Teresa Caneda\, University of Vigo\, Spain. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  \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 Teresa Caneda from the University of Vigo\, Spain to NUI Galway this year. \nShe is the Principal Investigator of the research project “Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction” funded by Spanish Agency for Research (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). \nDr Vigo will deliver her seminar entitled\, ‘Breaking the Conspiracy of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction’at 4pm on Thursday 4 April\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies. Further details are included below. \nBeidh fáilte roimh chách! \nLe gach dea-ghuí\, \nAbstract: \nIn contemporary Ireland many forms of abuse\, kept secret for a long time\, have recently aroused public opinion on an international scale. In this social context\, the theme of silence has been extremely relevant to the Irish literary imagination with the topic of “the unspoken”\, both as subject and style\, being foregrounded by some of the most representative contemporary writers. Counter-hegemonic narrative impulses articulated through linguistic gaps\, displacements\, ironies and ambivalences have become essential discursive elements through which Irish artists question and resist social constructions and cultural practices attached to notions of silence. Drawing on the concept that silence is not only a space beyond words but a form of speaking the unspeakable\, the talk will reflect on how authors have concentrated on breaking the conspiracy of silence thus  denouncing the private and public dysfunctions of a society in which shocking anomalies have long remained buried and unacknowledged. \nBiography:\nTeresa Caneda is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Vigo (Spain)\, she has recently been awarded a Scholarship for Senior researchers from the Ministry of Culture and Education and is currently on a research stay as a visiting fellow at UCD School of English\, Drama and Film. She is the author of La estética modernista como práctica de resistencia en A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\, a re-evaluation of the ideological implications of modernist aesthetics in the context of Joyce’s early fiction (University of Vigo:2002) and the editor of Vigorous Joyce: Atlantic Readings of James Joyce (University of Vigo: 2010). She organized the 19th Conference of the Spanish James Joyce Society and currently sits on the Editorial Board of European Joyce Studies. Her work has appeared in journals such as the James Joyce Quarterly\, Papers on Joyce\, Interventions\, Translation Studies Translation and Literature and Estudios Irlandeses. An important part of her research has concentrated on translation as a form of negotiation between cultures and in relation to socio-political and intellectual frameworks vis-à-vis the concept of cultural mobility with a focus on the role of translation in processes of identity formation across the Atlantic (“Translation as a Revisitation of Joyce’s Irish Modernism” in Irish Modernism and The Global Primitive. McGarrity and Culleton (eds) Palgrave Macmillan\, 2009; “Trans/atlantic Mobilities: Translating Narratives of Irish Resistance” in Towards 2016: 1916 in Irish Literature\, Culture & Society. Crosson\, Seán and W. Huber (eds) Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier\, 2015). More recently she has been interested in exploring issues such as transnationalism\, foreignness and mobility in relation to Contemporary Irish Fiction. Last year she co-edited\, a special issue of the journal Atlantic Studies (2018) on “Atlantic Communities: Translation\, Mobility\, Hospitality” and contributed with a chapter on Joyce and the aesthetics of silence to the volume James Joyce’s Silences (London: Bloomsbury\, 2018). Since January 2018 she is the Principal Investigator of the research project “Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction” funded by Spanish Agency for Research (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
