SUMMARY:Introduction to Modelling Decision Making With Dr KongFatt Wong-Lin
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Modelling Decision Making – Monday 19th of June\, 2-5pm Computer Lab\, Arts Millennium Building (Psychology) \nThe development of clearly defined models of human behaviour enables us to translate theoretical concepts into precise hypotheses for experimental work. This workshop is an introduction to the practice of cognitive modelling focusing on decision making. How do we go from theoretical statements to a model and how do we test models? With Dr KongFatt Wong-Lin\, we will explore these questions and get to work with established models in a supportive environment. \n \nDr. KongFatt Wong-Lin is a Senior Lecturer at the Intelligent Systems Research Centre\, Ulster University. His research area is in the highly interdisciplinary Computational Neuroscience\, including the computational modelling of decision making.

SUMMARY:A joint talk with Dr Vicky Angelaki  & Dr Beatriz Kopschitz Bastos
DESCRIPTION:Irish-Austrian Exchanges on the Stage: Performing the Archive with Dr. Vicky Angelaki \nWhat does it mean to perform the archive? The lived historiography of theatre captures the embodied experience rather than logging decorporealised data. The archive is performed in two ways: first synchronically\, as lived history is created through our staging and spectatorial choices and then diachronically\, as we collect the traces of this presence and self-performance. The choices that we make in theatrical ‘adoption’\, adaptation\, appropriation\, consumption and ultimately intercultural exchange stand to reveal as much about our personal and collective self- and nationhood as any given country’s own cultural production. Theatrical production is at its most riveting when the lines between ‘us’ and ‘them’ or the prototypical – and problematic – binary of ‘I’ and ‘Other’ become troubled\, and blurred. \nIn this paper I will concentrate on Austro-Irish theatre exchanges\, particularly focusing on archives/performance histories of the two capitals\, Dublin and Vienna. The paper will ask questions such as: to what extent do the similarities of the two countries (socio-politically; culturally; artistically) broker a fruitful process of exchange? Is this exchange equitable? What do the absences in the archive stand to reveal – equally loudly as the presences – about national performances? \nThe paper will begin with an overview of key facts and moments in the two countries’ cultural exchanges before concentrating on the seminal contemporary example of Elfriede Jelinek’s (Nobel Prize\, 2004) adaptations of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (Ernst ist das Leben\, 2005) and An Ideal Husband (Der ideale Mann\, 2011). \nDr Vicky Angelaki is Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Reading\, UK. Her latest monograph\, Social and Political Theatre in 21st Century Britain: Staging Crisis (Bloomsbury) was published in 2017. Her research specialisms include modern and contemporary British and European theatre\, the crossovers between theatre and science\, translation\, adaptation\, spectatorship and citizenship\, as well as performance\, critical/cultural theories\, philosophy and sociology. She has published extensively in these areas\, major publications including The Plays of Martin Crimp: Making Theatre Strange (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2012)\, Contemporary British Theatre: Breaking New Ground (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2013) and the special issue of Contemporary Theatre Review titled ‘Dealing with Martin Crimp’ (24.3). She is currently writing Theatre & Environment for Palgrave Macmillan and co-editing The Cambridge Companion to British Playwriting since 1945 (with Prof. Dan Rebellato). Angelaki also co-edits the new series Adaptation in Theatre and Performance (Palgrave Macmillan\, launching 2017). \n  \n  \nCia Ludens in Performance: From Memory to Documentary with Dr Beatriz Kopschitz Bastos \nTheatrical translation can be regarded as a meeting\, and an approximation\, of different cultures on stage\, and as analytical exercise in learning about oneself\, that is to say\, the local culture\, through the lenses of the other party – the other (foreign) culture. Theatrical translation is\, in itself\, a work of playwriting\, which requires adjustment of the text\, and of extra-textual elements in a performance\, to local theatrical practices\, as well as fine adjustment of rhythms and sounds\, in the cross-cultural encounter on stage. \nThis paper aims to present a capsule description of the work of Cia Ludens\, a theatre company based in São Paulo\, Brazil\, dedicated to the translation and performance of Irish drama and Irish-related material as a way of bridging gaps of space and culture between Ireland and Brazil. The paper focuses on three productions – Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa (Dançando em Lúnassa – 2004); Tom Murphy’s Bailegangaire (Balangangueri: o lugar onde ninguém mais ri – 2011-12); and Domingos Nunez’s The Two Deaths of Roger Casement (As duas mortes de Roger Casement – 2016) – and evaluates the company’s intercultural or cross-cultural practice\, including approaches that have varied from playing with memory\, to fusing original texts and recurring to documentary theatrical style. \nDr Beatriz Kopschitz Bastos is a faculty member of the Postgraduate Programme in English at the Federal University of Santa Catarina\, Brazil\, and producer and dramaturge with Cia Ludens\, a theatre company based in São Paulo\, dedicated to the production of Irish theatre. She has a PhD in Linguistic and Literary Studies in English from the University of São Paulo and serves as an executive member of IASIL\, for which she is also the Chair of the Bibliography Committee. Her publications as co-editor and organizer include: Ilha do Desterro – Contemporary Irish Theatre (Florianópolis: EdUFSC\, 2010); Coleção Brian Friel (São Paulo: Hedra\, 2013); and The Road to God Knows Where\, by Alan Gilsenan (Florianópolis: EdUFSC\, 2015)\, volume 3 of Ireland on Film: Screenplays and Critical Contexts. She is currently working on the organization of a collection of Tom Murphy’s plays translated into Portuguese and on volume 4 of the Ireland on Film series – Maeve\, by Pat Murphy.

SUMMARY:Neural Plausibility of Decision Making Models – Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Neural Plausibility of Decision Making Models – Panel Discussion AMB 067\, Arts Millennium Building (Psychology) 1-2pm Wednesday the 21st of June \nThere is little doubt that complex cognition depends on the brain. However\, in order for us to model human behaviour\, especially the complexities of decision making\, we need to make decisions about how to construct such models and whether they should be more influenced by the limitations of the neural system or by reliably observed cognitive and behavioural patterns. Our panel discussion will introduce focus on the “attractor” model of decision making developed by KongFatt Wong-Lin and colleagues\, which has been derived from known neural principles. Dr Wong-Lin will introduce his model and the rationale behind his approach. Dr Maria Dauvermann\, a cognitive neuroscientist\, and Dr Nick Tosh\, a philosopher\, will discuss the empirical and conceptual implications of Dr Wong-Lin’s model. The discussion will be moderated by Dr Denis O’Hora.

SUMMARY:Dr Ruth Canning on “Trust\, Desert\, Power and skill to serue”: The Old English and Military Identities in late Elizabethan Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Focussing on the martial services and petitions of Patrick Plunkett\, Baron of Dunsany\, during the Nine Years’ War\, this paper will explore how members of Ireland’s Old English Pale community drew on military traditions and personal service as the chief means of articulating political allegiances\, grievances\, and their rights as crown subjects. It will address the increasing displacement of Old Englishmen from the crown’s military ranks alongside their pleas to be recognised as “the old experienced learned with bloody hands”.  It will also highlight their unique status as “Englishmen” living on a distant Tudor frontier and how a constant state of military preparedness shaped individual and collective mentalities.  By doing so\, this paper aims to explore how an emerging Old English identity was shaped and defined by its military traditions and its martial men. \nMoore Institute Visiting Fellow Dr Ruth A. Canning is a Lecturer in History at Liverpool Hope University. Prior to this\, she held a Marie Curie International Research Fellowship with School of History\, University College Cork\, and the School of Canadian Irish Studies at Concordia University\, Montreal. A historian of early modern Ireland with a special focus on Ireland’s Nine Years’ War (1594-1603)\, Ruth’s forthcoming monograph\, The Old English in Early Modern Ireland: The Palesmen and the Nine Years’ War\, 1594-1603 (Boydell & Brewer\, 2018)\, examines the socio-political impact of war on identity formation amongst Ireland’s minority Old English population.

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
