SUMMARY:Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games
DESCRIPTION:By Professor Philip Dine\, Head of French\, NUI Galway. \nHow does sport shape society? From local origins in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, modern sports were first nationally and then internationally regulated\, enabling novel personal interactions and unprecedented cultural exchanges. This sporting internationalization was to culminate in such global mega-events as the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. These most intensely mediatized spectacles today attract television audiences in their billions\, as the apex of modern sport’s complex network of tangible and intangible exchanges. Mobilizing enormous resources based on strategic alliances between national sports industries\, international governing bodies and transnational media corporations\, they are amongst the modern world’s most powerful producers of locally and globally resonant meanings. In terms of its availability\, sport has now achieved near-saturation coverage\, certainly within the developed world. Yet\, paradoxically\, sport’s traditional emphasis on the local has\, if anything\, been reinforced by the challenges of globalization. This seminar seeks to explore sport’s social significance by offering a case study of France\, focusing on the contribution of organized games to the historical construction and continuing reconfiguration of a variety of local\, national and\, increasingly\, transnational identities. \n  \nPhilip Dine is Personal Professor and Head of French at the National University of Ireland Galway. He has published widely on representations of the French empire\, particularly decolonization\, in fields ranging from children’s literature to professional sport. Further projects have targeted sport and identity-construction in France and the Francophone world. \n  \n

SUMMARY:“Ghostly Hauntings: Women and Power in Recent Irish Crime Novels“

Her publications\, research and teaching cover an interdisciplinary range of topics\, from c18 Orientalism\, Victorian literature and Australian culture to contemporary crime fiction\, often with a focus on gender issues. Her first monograph was a study of style in Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist (2003)\, and she has co-edited books on women’s studies and feminist crime novels. Current projects include an edited volume on Western interactions with Japan (forthcoming 2020) and a book-length study on the life and works of an Anglo-Australian painter and theosophist.
