Nevertheless\, in comparing our perceptions with those of others\, there is often nothing but contradiction\, so that the point of thinking seems to be to erase those contradictions: But what if even thought is full of contradictions? For Merleau-Ponty\, we have no better evidence for this than the four antinomies that Kant places before us both as a warning and in order to untangle their contradictions. For\, in spite of the contradictions inherent in the absolute or pure use of the intuitions of space and time and the concepts of substance\, mechanical causality\, and necessary being\, these particular contradictions are still “the very condition of consciousness\, ” so that without reflection\, not merely perception but life itself “would probably dissipate itself in ignorance of itself or in chaos.” This claim serves as a warning regarding our assumptions about phenomenology\, for when we announce our faith in “the primacy of perception” we may not know what we are actually claiming. This paper asks what it means to say that scientific knowledge and physico-mathematical relations make sense only insofar as we understand that intellectual knowledge and abstract ideas have the same structures and horizons as our perceptual experience? \nDorothea Olkowski is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Colorado\, Colorado Springs and Director of the Cognitive Studies Minor. She specializes in feminist theory\, phenomenology and contemporary French philosophy. Her publications include Time in Feminist Phenomenology (with Christina SchÌ_es and Helen Fielding\, Indiana UP\, 2012)\, Postmodern Philosophy and the Scientific Turn(Indiana UP 2011)\, Feminist Interpretations of Merleau-Ponty (with Gail Weiss\, Penn State University Press\, 2006)\, The Universal (In the Realm of the Sensible) (Edinburgh University Press\, 2007)\, Resistance\, Flight\, Creation\, Feminist Enactments of French Philosophy (Cornell\, 2000) and Gilles Deleuze and the Ruin of Representation (University of California Press\, 1999). \n For questions\, please contact felix.omurchadha@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/moore-institute-discipline-of-philosophy-research-seminar-idea-multiplicity-reflection-merleau-pontys-radical-concepts-by-prof-dorothea-olkowski-university-of-colorado/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160412T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160412T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T223752 CREATED:20160824T134650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134650Z UID:1921-1460476800-1460476800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Early Modern Research Seminar - Dr Sajed Chowdhury and Dr Felicity Maxwell DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Research Seminar \nDr Sajed Chowdhury: The Metaphysics of ‰Û÷Making’ in the Verse Miscellany of Constance Aston Fowler (c.1635-1638) \nDr Felicity Maxwell: Calling for collaboration: Women and public service in Dorothy Moore’s transnational Protestant correspondence URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/early-modern-research-seminar-dr-sajed-chowdhury-and-dr-felicity-maxwell/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T223752 CREATED:20160824T134647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134647Z UID:1892-1460116800-1460116800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:CAMPS Lab\, Dr Jessica Cooke\, Centre for Antique\, Medieval and Pre-Modern Studies\, NUIG 'The Annaghdown Doorway and King Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair:Tuarastal and Patronage in Twelfth Century Connacht' DESCRIPTION:CAMPS Lab\, Dr Jessica Cooke\, Centre for Antique\, Medieval and Pre-Modern Studies\, NUIG ‘The Annaghdown Doorway and King Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair:Tuarastal and Patronage in Twelfth Century Connacht’ URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/camps-lab-dr-jessica-cooke-centre-for-antique-medieval-and-pre-modern-studies-nuig-the-annaghdown-doorway-and-king-ruaidhri-ua-conchobhairtuarastal-and-patronage-in-twelfth-century-connacht/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T223752 CREATED:20160824T134650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134650Z UID:1919-1460113200-1460113200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Moore Institute Visiting Fellow Dr Colin Reid\, Northumbria University presents: 'Constitutional Resistance as Legal Defence: Irish Lawyers and the 1848 Rebellion'.

Anders Ingram\, who recently completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Moore Institute\, will present a paper that brings computational and quantitative methods to bear on the study of book history. The paper focuses on the printing career of George Bishop\, a leading figure in the sixteenth-century London book trade. Lunch will be provided and\, as ever\, all are welcome. \n12-2pm // Tuesday 8 March // Room 1001 (First Floor) Hardiman Research Building // Facebook event page \nAnders Ingram \nThe Business of Books: Quantifying the Career of George Bishop\, Stationer (c.1538-1611). \nGeorge Bishop was a leading figure in the turn of the sixteenth century London book trade. Bishop served as master of the Stationers Company an exceptional five times. He was defacto Royal Printer\, alongside his partner Ralph Newberry\, as Christopher Barker’s deputy\, in the years 1588-1600. Over the course of his career he maintained lengthy relationships with major figures in the European book trade such as the Antwerp printer Christophe Plantin and the Cologne booksellers the Birckmans. Perhaps most importantly he published editions of Chaucer\, Fox\, Camden\, Hakluyt\, Holinshed\, Stow\, and numerous other prominent and important authors. \nThis paper draws upon a database I have built of the publication details and physical characteristics of Bishops 583 extant imprints\, alongside archival evidence\, to reconstruct the career of this prominent bookseller/publisher\, his partnerships\, and his evolving business practices and network. I will also address some of the methodological issues which arise studying early publishers such as Bishop whose accounts books do not survive.

They were reviled by the scholar and patriot EÌ_in MacNeill\, who memorably called them the ‰Û÷luxuriant culture-fungus of decay’\, but they were admired by Umberto Eco\, who likened them to a Medieval version of Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake. Above all\, however\, they have remained a mystery. Were they truly written in Ireland? Or Britain? Or even Brittany? What is the origin of their obscure\, labyrinthine and inventive language? Are they serious or an elaborate literary joke? \n Prof. Andy Orchard from Oxford University will address some of the questions that still surround this fascinating and perplexing group of poems in his 2016 Margaret Heavey Memorial Lecture\, “The Enigmatic Aspects of the Hisperica Famina“. Prof. Orchard is an eminent Medievalist and Anglo-Saxonist who\, among his numerous publications\, also produced an important re-assessment of the texts in question (‰Û÷The Hisperica Famina as Literature’\, in The Journal of Medieval Latin 10 (2000)\, pp. 1-45). \n Prof. Orchard’s lecture will take place at 5 p.m. Thursday\, 3 March\, in the Charles McMunn Theatre (Arts/Science Concourse)\, NUI Galway\, as part of the Margaret Heavey Memorial Lectures series. These lectures are annual events hosted by the Discipline of Classics in NUI\, Galway to commemorate the life and work of Margaret Heavey (1908-1980)\, Lecturer and then Professor of Classics at UCG between 1931 and 1977\, as well as Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 1970 to 1976. \nThe lecture is kindly sponsored by the NUIG College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies\, the Discipline of English\, and the Classics Society.

Text reuse takes various forms\, ranging from verbatim quotations to paraphrasing and allusions\, and can happen within one language or across multiple languages. Historical texts pose numerous challenges to automatic reuse detection due to the fragmentary and inconsistent survival of works\, but also because of the synchronic and diachronic evolution of language. Unlike modern texts where sources are quoted and cited\, historical texts are not always so transparent\, thus opening up exciting opportunities for intertextual research. \nOur case study\, the famous fairy tale collection Kinder-und HausmÌ_rchen by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm\, is a prime example of textual and cultural collision. The Brothers collected and adapted their stories from earlier works\, some of them dating as far back as the seventh century BC. The text reuse units contained in their tales\, the motifs\, allow us to digitally investigate cross-cultural parallels at both small and larger scales. Our analysis of motifs is aided by two additional datasets: a corpus of 36\,000 digitised personal letters belonging to the Grimm family and a list of the books owned by the Brothers. These textual resources give us a window into the writing of the tales\, helping us better understand the puzzle of intertextual relations between the Grimm collection and their predecessors or followers. The letters disclose conversations the Brothers had between themselves and with their acquaintances\, while the books carry their sources of knowledge and inspiration. \nThis talk will elaborate on the aims\, methods and progress of this new research project\, with a view to eliciting a rich discussion on the potential of automatic text reuse detection for the study of intertextuality at scale. \nGreta Franzini completed her Classics BA and Digital Humanities MA degrees at King’s College London. Greta is currently completing a PhD at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and works as a full-time researcher at the G̦ttingen Centre for Digital Humanities. Greta’s interests lie within the fields of Classical philology\, Manuscript Studies and Textual Criticism. Previously\, she worked as a Research Associate at the Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig. As of July 2015\, Greta is an Executive Board member of Digital Medievalist and Associate Editor of the Digital Medievalist Journal.
