Reimagining a World for Tomorrow and an Onto-Epistemological Ethics of Remembering

speaking on:
Reimagining a World for Tomorrow and an Onto-Epistemological Ethics of Remembering

Abstract
Time is behind our reality structuring. Physicist/philosopher Karen Barad urges us to think about time differently. In Meeting the Universe Halfway, she offers us the theoretical tools such that we can return to earlier times and reimagine life differently. To do this requires an ontological shift in perspective which we get with Gilbert Simondon in On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects. Based on the logic of transduction, ontogenesis claims that all states of being including time, space, and matter exist in excess in each potential being. Similarly, Karen Barad’s entangled intra-relations emerges as spacetimematterings. There are no subjects as such, only intra-actions between agents. Agential beings are always already entangled in material practices. Entangled beings make it impossible to differentiate absolutely between human and nonhuman, organic and inorganic, subject and object, nature and culture, fact and value, epistemology and ontology. This paper will excavate Barad’s theory of diffraction in light of Gilbert Simondon’s ontogenesis to offer an onto-epistemological ethics that re-configures how we imagine deep time, both past and future, and take responsibility for the world we have created, and will create in the future.
Rόisín Lally teaches philosophy at Gonzaga University. Drawing on the traditions of phenomenology and metaphysics, she works at the intersection of the philosophy of technology, feminism, and sustainability. She is the author of numerous articles and chapters. She is currently writing a monograph entitled Being, Time, and Technology and co-editing a book with Daniel Bradley entitled Irish Phenomenology.

Teangacha Trilsithe - Braided Languages - Langues Tressées
2022-11-03 18:00 - 19:00 | Charlie Byrne’s bookshop, Galway City
TEANGACHA TRILSITHE / BRAIDED LANGUAGES / LANGUES TRESSÉES
A trilingual poetry reading (English, Irish, and French) of the work of three poets / translators, Kelly Norah Drukker (a poet and scholar from Montréal, Canada and also visiting scholar in the Centre for Irish Studies, University of Galway); Laoighseach Ní Choistealbha (poet and PhD scholar from Roinn na Gaeilge and the Centre for Irish Studies); and Gabrielle Machnik-Kekesi (scholar from Montréal, Canada, completing a PhD at the Centre for Irish Studies).
The event will consist of a trilingual reading of both Kelly and Laoighseach’s work, with Kelly’s work (English, and translated into French by Lori Saint-Martin and Paul Gagné) translated into Irish and read aloud by Laoighseach, and Laoighseach’s work (Irish, and self-translated into English) translated into French by Canadian scholar, Gabrielle Machnik-Kekesi, and read aloud at the event by Kelly.
Kelly is an accomplished poet, with her debut collection, Small Fires (McGill-Queen’s University Press) winning the A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry, and the Concordia University First Book Prize. The collection was also a finalist for the Grand Prix du livre de Montréal (2016). Petits feux, a French-language translation by Lori Saint-Martin and Paul Gagné, was published by Le lézard amoureux in 2018.
Laoighseach has been published in a variety of literary journals, including Poetry Ireland Review and Comhar. She recently won first place in the Fiach Dubh poetry competition and in the Ballybunion Arts Festival Irish Language poetry competition. Her first collection, Solas Geimhridh, is forthcoming.
Gabrielle has a BA (History) and MA (Individualized Program, Modern Irish History and Gender Studies) from Concordia University and a MISt (Archival Studies) from McGill University. She is a Hardiman Research Scholar at the University of Galway (2021-2025), completing a PhD at the Centre for Irish Studies.
We wish to use this event to show how poetry and literature can cross boundaries, languages, and cultural contexts, as well as highlighting the important role of collaboration and camaraderie in the writing and translation of literature.
The event is free, and all are welcome – from within the university and without!

CAMPS LABS: Plague, Prayer, and Print in Sixteenth-century Italy
2022-10-28 12:00 - 14:00 | THB-G010 Moore Institute Seminar Room, Hardiman Research Building, University of Galway
Plague, Prayer, and Print in Sixteenth-century Italy
Katherine Tycz (Discipline of Italian)
Plague was a constant fear for early modern Italians. When plague broke out in Italy, people turned to a variety of devotional tools and practices for protection from disease and spiritual solace. In this presentation, I will explore the production of printed devotional texts and images that were circulated to help devotees through these difficult times. Ranging from beautiful engravings to cheap devotional pamphlets and flyers, the threat of plague created prophylactic merchandise that would appeal to a range of consumers. Occasionally sanctioned by the Church, but often produced outside of the bounds of ecclesiastical oversight, printed plague protection ranged from the orthodox to the unorthodox and all the blurry areas in between.

Open Access Publishing - the Why & How
2022-10-28 11:00 - 12:00 | online & livestream in Room G010, Hardiman Research Building
Open Scholarship Café – Part of Open Access Week 2022
In recent years, the rapidly evolving world of scholarly communication has been subjected to several divisive issues, but none as hotly debated as the transition to Open Access publishing. It seems to be a good idea but also a bit daunting and you might have heard about large fees in order to publish Open Access? And how is this useful for you as a researcher and author? If these are the questions you are asking yourself then this Open Scholarship Café (in-person) is for you!
Open Access is an academic publishing model which makes research freely available to read, avoiding subscriptions or paywalls. Open Access comes in many flavours and this session will focus on the Library’s recent Open Access agreements (also called transformative agreements) with a number of publishers that allow you as the author to publish Open Access without cost to you.
No previous knowledge or publishing experience is needed for this session! The University of Galway Open Scholarship Librarian Hardy Schwamm will introduce the rationale and process of these Open Access agreements, and the context in which these agreements have been developed. We will also look briefly at Green Open Access and how you can publish your research using our institutional repository ARAN.
At the end of this session you will:

Understand the need for Open Access publishing
Know how to benefit from the Open Access agreements that are available to you
Be familiar with the options that Green Open Access provides

This In-Person Open Scholarship Café is part of the international Open Access Week which provides the chance to connect the global momentum toward the open sharing of knowledge.
Open Scholarship Cafés are organised by the Library of the University of Galway in partnership with the Open Scholarship Community Galway.

Paper Abstract:
This paper examines how the work of poet Leeanne Quinn attends to the interdependence of all life, ‘every last cord between us’ (Leeanne Quinn, ‘Acoma’, Before You, Dublin: Dedalus Press, 2012), on this planet and beyond. Born in Drogheda in 1978, Quinn is an award winning and critically acclaimed Munich-based poet. The molecular and cellular granularity of Quinn’s vision, ‘wrapped in particles of winter/light’ (Quinn, Before You, 2012) ) is perceptually entwined with the existential threat of climate emergency, and in this paper, I consider how the interconnectivity of body, planet, and art is expressed in Quinn’s acclaimed first volume Before You (2012), through the holding metaphor of the ‘sibling world’, an emotional ecosystem painstakingly painted in the sister poems, ‘Imprints’ and ‘Mosquitoes’. I explore her writing through psychoanalytical and eco-critical perspectives to advance feminist literary, cultural research that highlights the damaging dominance of the father-son model of inheritance and influence in Irish cultural critique.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Cork-born theatre pioneer (1918–2006), Mary O’Malley, was the founder and director of Belfast’s Lyric Players Theatre from 1951–81.
In 1947 Mary married Armagh-born doctor Pearse O’Malley and thereafter moved to Northern Ireland. She was elected to Belfast Corporation in May 1952, as an Irish Labour Party councillor for the Smithfield ward and in 1959 she founded Threshold literary magazine.
She started Belfast’s Lyric Players Theatre in the former stables at the back of her Malone Road home. A self-taught and tireless director, she contested cultural populism and indifference in the north during the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s to pioneer the new theatre. As their repertoire grew, O’Malley felt it necessary to provide a permanent theatre for the company, and in 1961 the Lyric Players Theatre became a non-profit association, a base from where her protégés from Liam Neeson, Ciarán Hinds and others bestrode stage and screen in the last half of the twentieth and beyond.
Fierce Love chronicles a resourceful and controversial individual, who swam against the tide of populism and sectarianism to establish an independent academy for actors and artists in a tireless quest for imaginative freedom and excellence. Mary O’Malley’s life was complex, and her legacy enduring.
‘A titan of Northern Ireland’s theatrical scene … I consumed this beautiful book with a few giggles and tears of memories recalled.’ Liam Neeson
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bernard Adams, a Dubliner with Ulster roots, went to school at Portora in Enniskillen and read English at Trinity College, Dublin. He became a journalist, writing early notices of Mary O’Malley’s plays for the Belfast Telegraph in Belfast before working as a BBC television producer in London. He is author of Denis Johnston: A Life (Lilliput, 2002).

Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar
Football and Cinema under Francoism – Comparing Visual Motifs to Unveil Historical Symptoms
(Dr Manuel Garin – Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona)

Virtual Lecture via Blackboard Collaborate: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/4e5604442fcb44b68f5d5630040e8755
When it comes to the relation of archival materials with historical and political epistemes, the uses of sport, and specifically football, during the Francoist Regime in Spain stands as a key (but still under-researched) topic. Connecting with previous imageries of the silent era, like Bergfilme or Hollywood sport biopics, football movies became a genre of its own during the dictatorship, once labeled by historian J. A. Durán as nationalfootballism (a reappropriation of the historical term nacionalcatolicismo). This audiovisual corpus comprises dozens of fiction films where the biggest football stars of the time, such as Zamora, Kubala or Di Stefano, performed as actors, and vice versa, where the biggest actors of the time (like Fernando Fernán Goméz) performed as footballers or fans. More importantly, these movies created a strong intermedial relationship with other visual works produced during the dictatorship: hundreds of hours of sport-centered footage within the archive of NO-DO (the official newsreels), and thousands of photographs in sport newspapers, film journals, and popular magazines. Not to mention the aural components of radio broadcasting -and soundscapes- in and out of the films.
This talk delves into that critical juncture between football and moving images, which shaped and still shapes the core of Spanish identity/ies (with political, class, and gender trouble), by studying such intermedial links in three complementary ways: as an atlas of politicized bodies (sportsmen but also women and minorities), an archive of visual motifs (gestures, situations, narratives) and a network of places and influences (production companies, football clubs, cities, Francoist institutions, repressed regions or nationalities, etc.). Framed within a new research project funded by the Spanish MICINN, the talk will share its main findings and methodology with our colleagues from NUI Galway, to foster debate within the Research in Sport seminar.
Manuel Garin is Senior Lecturer in Film and Media Studies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. He has been visiting scholar at different institutions like the Tokyo University of The Arts, the University of Southern California and Columbia University, where he developed the comparative media projects “Gameplaygag: Between Silent Film and New Media” and “A Hundred Busters: Keaton Across The Arts”, financed by public grants.

All Welcome!

Bio-Economy Works in Ecosystem Services, Biotechnology, and Global Political Economy: Elaborating a new field for the social sciences and situating my research program.
About:
The Bio-Economy is a recent and extremely powerful policy agenda, which is, however, existing mostly outside of the public consciousness. Originating in the discourse on “ecosystems” but being concretized institutionally and “coined” by European Union bureaucrats, this discursive formation and transnational policy network has problematic historic roots in a regime of exploitation while it affects the current transformation of the Global Political Economy as a whole. Respectively, I continually make the case for understanding the Bio-Economy as an emerging field that deserves more attention in the social sciences. In a 45-minute tour de force, I will sketch the stakes of the Bioeconomy in terms of its effects on ecosystem services, agro- and biotechnology, and the Global Political Economy, while marking important connections to its epistemic origins that it shares with the genealogy of the social sciences. I will, thereby and in conclusion, provide an introduction and overview to my currently ongoing and future research program.

University of Galway History Seminar: Ecologies of Typhoid and Geographies of Knowledge in 19th Century Ireland
2022-10-19 16:00 - 17:30 | Online, via Zoom
Dr Emily Webster
(Durham University)
Ecologies of Typhoid and Geographies of Knowledge in 19th Century Ireland

Abstract
In 1880, Charles Cameron, Medical Officer of Health for the City of Dublin, was nearly laughed out of a meeting of the British Medical Association for a paper he read entitled “Typhoid from Oysters.” Despite Cameron’s assertion that he had “no doubt whatever that oysters were very frequently the means of communicating enteric fever,” using his home city of Dublin as a case study, the connection between the two would not be widely accepted by the British medical community until nearly twenty-five years – and several shellfish-borne typhoid outbreaks – later. Cameron’s observation of this trend decades before it was widely accepted in British medical circles was not, I argue, simply a stroke of particular epidemiological genius, but an observation grounded in the unique ecology of typhoid fever in Dublin. Drawing on a combination of public health records, geospatial data, and popular media, this paper will explore parallel epidemics of typhoid fever in Dublin and Belfast at the end of the nineteenth century that, through epidemiological investigation, were traced at least in part to local shellfish populations. It will argue that these epidemics were the result of a confluence of unique factors, including ecological characteristics like topography, rainfall, and river basin ecology; and social and urban environmental characteristics such as housing placement, water systems, sewage systems, class, industry, and local dietary practices. Through this confluence of features, Salmonella enterica typhi found a niche in these major Irish cities.

A Century of Irish Agriculture:
A Policy Driven Sector

Abstract
In this paper we have assembled a time-series of agricultural statistics over the past century to describe many of the important trends of what has been an important sector in Ireland over the course of the past century. The paper explores trends in land use trade-offs between tillage and pasture and describes growth in animals numbers, the substitution between different types of animals. Over the century the Irish agricultural sector has moved from a sector with a high subsistence dimension with up to 40% of output consumed on farms to a modern international exporting sector, much less reliant on the traditional trading partner the UK. The paper tracks mechanisation of the sector and the huge reduction in labour and significant restructuring over the century. We emphasise the importance of public policy, not just in relation to price and income supports, but also importantly in relation to trade and production restrictions. The century perspective highlights some recurring trends where export restrictions have seen resilience and recovery after they are eased.

When Fanaticism turns Toxic: Sentiment Analysis of Social Media Commentary on Amateur Sport in Ireland
Dr. Michael Lang, Associate Professor in Business Information Systems, University of Galway

Abstract
Sports organisations perform an invaluable function in Irish society, promoting positive physical and mental health and helping young persons develop important life skills and attitudes, the benefits of which extend far beyond the field of play. For the greater part, these organisations depend on unpaid volunteers and amateur athletes who freely give of their time for such reasons as loyalty to their local communities, enthusiasm for sport, interest in youth development, desire to give something back, and social enjoyment. Unfortunately, this spirit of volunteerism is coming under threat from the dark side of social media. Leading figures within the GAA, LGFA, FAI, IRFU, Basketball Ireland and other sporting organisations have strongly come out against the worrying trend of growing abuse of players, managers and officials on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. This paper uses a sample of GAA-related tweets and posts drawn from the period 2012 to 2022. Using data analytics techniques, the nature and incidence of negative comments are analysed. The paper concludes by briefly discussing actions that can be taken to address this growing scourge, including internal disciplinary actions by sporting organisations, responsible journalistic practices, and recourse to existing and emerging national and international legislation.

Irish Studies Seminar Series: “Granny’s Things”: Personal Objects as Gateways into a Life Story

Ms Kelly Norah Drukker, PhD Humanities Program – Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture, Concordia University, Montreal
Seminar Title: “Granny’s Things”: Personal Objects as Gateways into a Life Story
Guest Respondent: Professor Anne Byrne, School of Political Science and Sociology, University of Galway.
Seminar Abstract: “Granny’s Things”: Personal Objects as Gateways into a Life Story
A rosary, a cashier’s pin, a Hudson’s seal fur coat. These are objects that have constellated around the life of my late grandmother, Rose, from childhood until her later years.
Drawing from the fields of oral history, memory studies, and creative nonfiction, my research-creation project-in-progress asks, how can personal objects help us access a life story after a loved one is no longer here to tell it? How, through placing personal objects at the centre of family oral history interviews, might we gain deeper insight into the circumstances of a family member’s life, and decode meanings otherwise overlooked? When narrating the more difficult aspects of a family member’s story, can using objects as an entry point help with some of the ethical issues surrounding representation of someone who can no longer speak for themselves? For creative writers, how can personal objects influence the telling, and resist definitions pinned down by words?
Through family oral history interviews, nonfiction writing, and by drawing upon the work of artists and theorists who focus on objects of memory, my project investigates the potential personal objects have to lend insight into a loved one’s life story, and charts their evolving meaning, over time.

History Research Seminar: Monticello as Machine: Thomas Jefferson and the Architecture of Enslavement

Monticello as Machine:
Thomas Jefferson and the Architecture of Enslavement

Abstract
As Le Corbusier, the father of modern architecture, once said, “A house is a machine for living in.” In this paper, we will look at Thomas Jefferson’s famous home, Monticello as a machine in the sense that he designed the house [and its gadgets] to structure the relationships he had with his enslaved workers, women, and children. Viewed in this way, Monticello reveals how buildings and technology reify the implicit and explicit values of their designers. In addition, Monticello provides us with an opportunity to discuss the responsibility that historians have to respond to and shape the larger discourse around technology, race, and social justice.

The School of Political Science and Sociology Research Seminar: ‘The Politics of Ailment - A new approach to care’
2022-10-05 13:00 - 14:00 | CA 110, Cairnes Building, University of Galway
The School of Political Science and Sociology invite you to a research seminar with:
Dr. Hanna-Kaisa Hoppania
‘The Politics of Ailment – A new approach to care’
CA 110, Cairnes Building, University of Galway
Wednesday 5th of October, 2022
1-2pm
All Welcome!

“The Politics of Ailment – A New Approach to Care” is a new book, published by Policy Press, written by a team of Finnish care researchers, the Viva Collective. Co-author of the book, Dr. Hanna-Kaisa Hoppania of the School of Political Science and Sociology will be discussing the Politics of Ailment.
The book introduces the concept of ailment as a new theoretical tool for the field of care studies and social sciences more widely. As care theorist Joan Tronto has written, not all relevant concepts already appear within the lexicon of political and social theory, and ‘we must expand the terrain to include concepts that are traditionally excluded from politics in order to see how their inclusion changes the contours of political life’ (Tronto 2018 , 139).
In this talk Dr. Hoppania will present the main argument of the book, which discusses humans as ailing beings, and traces ailment in social and care policies and in the context of profitmaking and care labour. She will also explain the Viva collective’s method of thinking and writing together.

Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar: Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games
2022-10-04 12:00 - 14:00 | Seomra an Droichid, Institiúid de Móra agus ar Zoom
Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games (Professor Philip Dine)
[Please note this lecture will be delivered virtually; Guest link: https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/fc49a00ba2444cd785a4752fe96ec33a ]
How 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.
Philip Dine was Personal Professor in the Discipline of French at the University of Galway until September 2022. 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.
