SUMMARY:Book Launch - 'Re-Place - Irish Theatre Environments' by Lisa FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:BOOK LAUNCH \nPlease join us at the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama\, Theatre and Performance\, NUI Galway for the launch of \n‘Re-Place – Irish Theatre Environments’ by Lisa FitzGerald (Oxford: Peter Lang\, 2017) \nThe book will be launched by Prof Patrick Lonergan on Thursday 7 September at 16.00 in Studio 1.  \nAll are welcome! \n  \n \n  \nBOOK DESCRIPTION\nWhat role does nature play in the cultural world of the theatre? Is the auditorium not a natural environment\, and how can theatre and nature aesthetics co-exist in the productive expression of performance? Re-Place: Irish Theatre Environments proposes a new way of thinking about Irish theatre: one that challenges established boundaries between nature and culture and argues for theatre performances to be seen as conceptual ecological environments. Broadening the scope of theatre environments to encompass radiophonic and digital spaces\, Re-Place is a timely interrogation of how we understand performance history. This book examines the work\, both as text and in production\, of three canonical Irish playwrights\, J. M. Synge\, Samuel Beckett and Brian Friel\, and looks at how theatre documentation can further the idea of a natural performance environment. The questions under consideration extend Irish theatre history into the field of the environmental humanities and draw on new materialist discourse to offer exciting and innovative ways to approach performance. \n  \nLisa FitzGerald is an environmental historian and ecocritic whose research interests include the role of nature in theatre and performance\, environmental art practice\, eco-digital art\, urban ecologies and the relationship between nature and technology. She holds a PhD from the National University of Ireland\, Galway and is a fellow at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society\, LMU Munich. Her forthcoming project\, Eco-Digital Art: Nature and New Media Aesthetics\, examines the ecological implications of artistic representations of the natural world in digital and new media art and the emergence of ‘new natures’ from within the digital sphere.  \n  \nhttps://www.peterlang.com/view/product/79230?rskey=xUAUj3&result=6 \n

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Bob Quinn
DESCRIPTION:In Conversation with Bob Quinn \n‘Huston Main’\, Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, Thursday September 14th\, 2:30pm \n \nJames Thurber wrote of himself: ‘Easy to rouse\, he is hard to quiet and people usually just go away.’ The same might be said of Bob Quinn. Under the title ‘Cinegael’\, and for nearly four decades\, in words and images\, Bob Quinn has recorded life in the West of Ireland\, especially in the Conamara Gaeltacht. He has been called a ‘talented eccentric’ (by Ken Gray\, Irish Times) a ‘maverick’ (by corporate RTE & the late Jim Kemmy)\, and was a key figure in the emergence of a distinctive Irish film culture from the 1970s onwards. He has filmed and photographed from Tatarstan to Morocco\, from India to the United States. His work has been exhibited from Galway to Los Angeles\, from Moscow to Missouri. Apart from his film work\, he has been published by Quartet Books (London & New York)\, O’Brien Press\, (Dublin)\, Brandon Press\, (Kerry)\, Lilliput Press (Dublin) and Cló Iar-Chonnacht\, (Galway). \nThe film and video company\, Cinegael\, which with Seosamh Ó Cuaig and Toni Cristofides he founded in 1973\, concentrated on the Gaeltacht of Conamara. Quinn still sees this Irish-speaking area in the West of Ireland as the grain of sand which\, in the William Morris sense\, contains and illuminates the world. Cinegael’s original intention was to reinforce the identity of this threatened linguistic minority: the group soon realised that in modern times man’s destiny is stated in political terms. Inspired by the the National Film Board of Canada’s Challenge for Change programme and using pioneering closed-circuit TV techniques it recorded local events and controversies. It mediated successfully between local opinion and public bodies. Gradually Cinegael began to engage with the larger polity. It evolved into a maker of one-off film documentaries and dramas – including acclaimed films Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoire (1975) Poitín (1977) The Atlantean Trilogy (1981/1984) and Budawanny (1987) – which were all screened on RTE\, as well as on BBC\, Channel Four\, S4C\, SBC etc. and which achieved other international recognition. In 1981 Quinn earned the Spirit of the Festival Award at the Celtic Film Festival. In 1984 he won a Jacob’s TV Award. In 2009 he was awarded the ‘Director’s Choice’ award at the Boston Irish Film Festival (BIFF). In 1988 he was the first film maker to be elected a member of Aosdána\, the Irish Parliament of Artists. (In the same year he met Colonel Ghadafi.) In 2001 Quinn was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Irish Film Institute and in 2012 he was awarded the Foras Na Gaeilge SDGI Award for Outstanding Work as a Director in the Irish Language.

SUMMARY:‘Paddy Trench: Galwegian\, activist and artist’: ICHLC seminar
DESCRIPTION:‘Paddy Trench: Galwegian\, activist and artist’:  \n \nICHLC seminar followed by drinks reception to mark donation of significant archival material. \n14 September\, 4 pm\, The Bridge\, Hardiman Building\, NUI Galway. \nThe first seminar of the Irish Centre for the Histories of the Labour and Class (Moore Institute) for the 2017-18 academic year takes place next Thursday\, 14 September\, at 4 pm in The Bridge (Room 1001)\, Hardiman Research Building\, NUI Galway. The subject is Paddy Trench\, and the speaker is his nephew\, Brian Trench (School of Communications\, DCU). \n  \nPaddy Trench was born in Galway\, the son of Wilbraham Trench\, Professor of History\, English and Mental Science\, at QCG. Though the family moved to Dublin while he was still quite young\, Paddy always identified as a Galwegian. A talented artist\, a poet\, and an engaged journalist\, he was a prominent figure in bohemian Dublin in the late 1920s. Socially and politically conscious\, he was in Spain in the early stages of the Spanish Civil War but chronic ill-health obliged him to leave. Back in Ireland\, he was the driving force behind the first Trotskyist movement in the country\, while simultaneously active in the Dublin Labour Party. When he died in a Swiss sanatorium in 1948\, he was only 43 years of age. \nThe seminar is followed immediately by a reception to mark the donation to NUI Galway and the ICHLC of significant archival material relating to socialist and kindred movements in Ireland and Scotland. Tom Sherry’s donation is of his father’s collection of Labour\, Anarchist\, Communist\, and Trotskyist periodicals from the late 1930s and 1940s (to some of which Paddy Trench contributed articles). Brian Trench’s donation relates to the Socialist Workers’ Movement in Ireland in the 1970s. Mary Glynn’s donation relates to the Militant Tendency In Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s. \n

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarship Seminar - "Laugh and be fat: remapping the literary canon with the Digital Miscellanies Index" A talk by Abigail Williams
DESCRIPTION:The opening event of the Autumn 2017 series of Digital Scholarship Seminar takes place on Thursday 21 September at 1pm\, and features a talk on digital representations of popular early modern poetry collections by Abigail Williams of the University of Oxford. Prof Williams discusses the Digital Miscellanies Index\, a Leverhulme-funded online database which can be used to track the changing fortunes of poems\, authors and genres in compilations published across the period 1580-1780. As ever\, all are welcome. \n1pm | Thursday 21 September 2017 | Moore Institute Room G010 | Facebook event page \nAbigail Williams (St Peter’s College\, University of Oxford) \nLaugh and be fat: remapping the literary canon with the Digital Miscellanies Index. \nThe Digital Miscellanies Index is a Leverhulme-funded online database of popular early modern poetry collections\, which can be used to track the changing fortunes of poems\, authors and genres in compilations published across the period 1580-1780. As such\, it offers a new data-driven reception history for literature of the era. In my talk I will discuss the evolution of the project over a decade\, and the kinds of insights it has generated. The scale and range of the evidence collected in the DMI challenges many longstanding assumptions about authorship\, anonymity\, and reception.  But the project has also involved responding to problems and opportunities unimaginable when it began\, and I will also use the talk to consider the changing landscape of digital humanities\, and the challenges of creating flexible and sustainable resources. \n  \nAbigail Williams is Professor of English Literature & Lord White Tutorial Fellow at St Peter’s College\, University of Oxford. Her current research on eighteenth century literature includes focuses on ways in which books are creatively misread\, and on the history of reading aloud in the home. Her new monograph\, The Social Life of Books\, is a study on the latter topic. \n  \nConnect with DSS: Website | Facebook | Mailing list

SUMMARY:Culture Night
DESCRIPTION:This year’s culture night takes place on the 22 September. Culture night is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture\, creativity and the arts. The James Hardiman Library is holding an evening of talks and an exhibition to celebrate culture. The focus of the talks is on community development with the focus on materials from the Muintir na Tíre collection as well as volumes from the 19th century printed collections. \nThe James Hardiman Library’s collections hold a rich source of material on local and community studies. In the archives we have collections from The Abbey Theatre\, The Gate Theatre\, Professor Kevin Boyle\, Brendan Duddy\, Ritchie-Pickow\, Éamon de Buitléar\, Tim Robinson and Druid Theatre company to name but a few. The James Hardiman Library has recently acquired the archive of Muintir na Tíre\, a national voluntary organisation dedicated to promoting the process of community development. A series of blogs have been written about the work to date of making the collection accessible for researchers. \nThe Muintir na Tíre talk will look at Rural Ireland and Landmark two publications of Muintir na Tíre and discuss how they promoted community development before and after the United Nations definition in 1958. These will also be on display in the exhibition. Community development in Galway and the West of Ireland will be discussed as well during the talk. Much earlier attempts at community development in Galway will be addressed in the talk on James Hardiman and his involvement with organisations such as the Royal Galway Institution. \nVenue: Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building \nTalks: \n18.30: “Muintir na Tíre Periodical literature”.  Speaker: Fiona Kearney\, Archivist \n19.30: “James Hardiman\, historian of Galway” Speaker: Marie Boran\, Special Collections Librarian \nWe hope you can come along and join us for the evening

SUMMARY:The Yeats Family Sale: NUI Galway\, the Irish State\, and the Auction
DESCRIPTION:The Yeats Family Sale: NUI Galway\, the Irish State\, and the Auction \nWednesday 4 October 12noon \nThe Bridge Seminar Room (Hardiman Research Building 1001) \nParticipants: \nAdrian Paterson \nAdrian Frazier \nAnne Byrne \nBarry Houlihan \nMarie Boran \nThe major sale of items associated with W.B. Yeats\, Jack B. Yeats\, and their family in 224 lots went ahead last Wednesday at Sotheby’s auctioneers in London\, selling for a total of £2 million. Adrian Paterson led a campaign to retain the items for the state with a coordinated letter in the Irish Times. Questions were asked in the Dáil and the campaign received coverage around the world.* Nevertheless NUI Galway was successful in securing several items of real importance to the west of Ireland. This pop-up event discusses the fall-out from the controversial sale\, the role of the state and its major national institutions\, and what NUI Galway managed to secure. \n*See for example New York Times 28 Sept: \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/27/arts/yeats-auction-sothebys.html \nIrish Times 28 Sept: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/fine-art-antiques/wb-yeats-s-love-letters-fail-to-sell-in-london-auction-1.3235647 \n

SUMMARY:'The Traveller Woman in Ireland as a Literary Device and as a Whole Human' A talk by Melania Terrazas
DESCRIPTION:The Traveller Woman in Ireland as a Literary Device and as a Whole Human \nThe talk features a work-in-progress session on the figure of the Irish traveller woman by Melania Terrazas of the University of La Rioja\, Spain. Dr Terrazas discusses the traveller woman as a literary device and as a whole human in the work of various contemporary Irish fe/male short story writers\, playwrights\, novelists\, poets and filmmakers who either present the figure in their productions and/or are committed to the Traveller Women Movement in Ireland today. \nThe idea for this talk developed out of the XVI International Conference of the Spanish Association for Irish Studies (AEDEI)\, “Fe/male Challenges in Irish Studies from the 19th to the 21st Centuries”\, organized by Dr Terrazas on 25–27 May 2017 (www.unirioja.es/aedei2017) as part of the research activity developed by the IDENTIT-ART team (Gender and identity in literary and audiovisual English texts)\, also directed by Dr Terrazas. This conference was the culmination of a three-year competitive research project. \n  \nMelania Terrazas is Senior Lecturer in English Studies and International Mobility Programs Coordinator at the University of La Rioja (Spain). She is on the Executive Board of AEDEI (The Spanish Association for Irish Studies) and a founding member of the Centre for Irish Studies BANNA/BOND (EFACIS). She is currently a visiting scholar at Huston School of Film Studies and Digital Media (NUI Galway) and conducting research at the Moore Institute\, where she is co-editing a collection on satire theory and practice\, and editing a special journal issue on gender issues in contemporary Irish literature and a volume on trauma and identity issues in contemporary Irish culture. Financial support was received from the Spanish Ministry of Education\, Culture and Sport through the “Salvador de Madariaga” mobility programme (code PRX17/00339)\, and the University of La Rioja through project number APPI17/06.

SUMMARY:EDEN: Making the machine work for you: plain text and software for an efficient writing workflow
DESCRIPTION:Making the machine work for you: plain text and software for an efficient writing workflow \nThursday 12 October 5pm-6:30pm \nRoom 1001 ‘The Bridge’\, Hardiman Research Building \n We use computers all the time for writing\, but are we getting the best out of these machines? This EDEN session seeks to demystify the “black box” and show how we can use software to make our writing workflow as painless as possible\, so that we can spend less time thinking about fonts and margins\, finding lost notes\, and recovering files\, and more time thinking about our actual work. \nJoin us as we hear from Dr Aidan Kane (Economics) on LaTeX\, Edward Kearns (English) on MS Word in comparison\, Sarah Hoover (Drama) on Zotero and other referencing software\, and Emer McHugh (Drama) on backing up your work on Dropbox\, Google Drive\, and other platforms. \nAs usual\, all are welcome to continue the conversation in McGinn’s afterwards! \n
