Book Launch: Steven G.Ellis Defending English Ground War & Peace in Meath & Northumberland, 1460-1542 (Oxford University Press, 2015)

Steven G.Ellis Defending English Ground War & Peace in Meath & Northumberland, 1460-1542 (Oxford University Press, 2015)
A key duty of the Renaissance monarchy was the defence of its subjects. For the English monarchy, the subject’s rule and defence from enemies beyond the long-landed frontiers in Ireland and the English far-north proved an intractable problem. It was not, however, a duty which was accorded a high priority by successsive Yorkist and early Tudor kings, not is it an aspect of state formation which has attracted much attention from modern historians. This
study assesses traditional arrangements for defending English ground, the impact of the frontier on border society, and the way in which the topography and patterns of settlement in border regions shaped the character of the march and border itself.
Defending English Ground focuses on two English shires, Meath and Northumberland, in a period during which the ruling magnates of these shires who had hitherto supervised border rule and defence were mostly unavailable to the crown. Unwilling to foot the cost of large garrisons and extended fortifications, successive kings increasingly shifted the costs of defence onto the local population, prompting the border gentry and minor peers to organize themselves through county communities for the rule and defence of the region. This strategy was generally successful in Ireland where the military threat presented by ‘the wild Irish’ was not so formidable, but in the English far-north Tudor reform, centralized control, and the burden of defence against the Scots soon led to ‘the decay of the borders’.

2015-09-23 14:00
Drama, Theatre and Performance Speaker Series
Charlotte McIvor
‘Migration, Performance and Contemporary Ireland’
This talk lays out my study of the effect of large-scale immigration and interculturalism as social policy on Irish theatre and performance post-1990s. It investigates Ireland’s translation of interculturalism as social policy into aesthetic practice and situates the wider implications of this ‰Û÷new interculturalism’ for theatre and performance studies at large.
How did inward-migration change most of what can be assumed about Irish theatre and performance and its relationship to national identity? By using case studies that include theatre, dance, photography, and activist actions, this talk introduces a new paradigm for the study of Irish theatre and performance while contributing to the wider investigation of migration and performance.

The launch of the second English edition of Giacomo Leopardi's Zibaldone with Prof. Franco D'Intino and Prof. Michael Caesar
2015-09-17 16:00
Lo Zibaldone, Leopardi and Translation
Organized by: Italian Institute of Culture and NUI Galway
The launch of the second English edition of Giacomo Leopardi’s Zibaldone with Prof. Franco D’Intino and Prof. Michael Caesar.
Published in the USA and UK – after seven years of work – the first complete translation in English of the Zibaldone, the personal notebook written by Giacomo Leopardi between 1817 and 1832. A team of English and American professional translators collaborated to the project lead by Franco D’Intino (University of Rome “La Sapienza”) and Michael Caesar (University of Birmingham), under the auspices of the Centro Nazionale di Studi Leopardiani. The work is not only a translation, but an actual English “edition” featuring critical and philological apparatuses, notes, indexes and an extensive introduction.
This essential book will change our understanding of the origins of modern culture. It is an extraordinary, epochal publication.
Although all things great and beautiful and alive have been extinguished from the world, our inclination toward them remains. Though we may be denied these things, nothing has or ever could stop us from wanting them. Young people have not lost that longing which drives them to seek a life for themselves and to scorn nothingness and monotony. (Zib. 195-196)
Giacomo Leopardi was the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and was recognized by readers, from Nietzsche to Beckett, as one of the towering literary figures in Italian history. To many, he is the finest Italian poet after Dante. He was also a prodigious scholar of classical literature and philosophy, and a voracious reader in numerous ancient and modern languages. For most of his writing career, he kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, or ‘hodgepodge,’ as Harold Bloom has called it, in which he put down his original, wide-ranging, radically modern responses to his reading. Published at the turn of the twentieth century, it has been recognized as one of the foundational books of modern culture, and its 4,500-plus pages have never been fully translated into English until now.
Franco D’Intino is Professor of Modern Italian Literature at the University of Rome “La Sapienza,” where he graduated in Italian literature and where he also completed his doctoral research on Leopardi in the context of European Romanticism. His main areas of research are theory and history of the genre “autobiography” and the work of Giacomo Leopardi. He is Director of the Leopardi Centre, based in the Italian Department at the University of Birmingham, and Director of the Laboratorio Leopardi, based in the School for Advanced Studies (SSSAS) at “La Sapienza.”
Michael Caesar is Emeritus Serena Professor of Italian at the University of Birmingham (UK). He has published widely on poetic improvisation and performance and its interaction with orality and literacy in 18th-19th century Italy, on literary theory (Gaetano Della Volpe, Eco and Joyce, the neo-avantgarde, Franco Moretti), and on key modern Italian authors, among them Elsa Morante, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italo Calvino, and Gianni Celati. His most recent essay on Leopardi, ‘Voice, Speaking, Silence in Leopardi’s Verse’, is forthcoming in The Oxford Handbook of European Romanticism (Oxford University Press).

Gender ARC:'Lily and Lolly: Yeats and his Sisters' Written and performed by Sinead Murphy and Darina Gallagher
2015-09-11 15:30
Gender ARC is pleased to invite you to:
“Lily and Lolly: Yeats and his Sisters”
Written and performed by Sinead Murphy and Darina Gallagher
Reception and Performance: Friday 11 September 2015 – 3.30-5.00pm – All Welcome!!
Venue: Room G006, Institute for Lifecourse and Society, NUI Galway
Lily and Lolly is a new work of theatre that looks at the life of poet W.B. Yeats through the eyes of his sisters Lily and Lolly Yeats. Set in their Dublin printing company Cuala Press, it explores the poetry and plays they publish for their brother Willie. Through storytelling, poetry and song, Lily and Lolly opens up the relationships within the Yeats family, with their brother the artist Jack B.Yeats and their father, the portrait artist John B. Yeats. Lilly and Lolly and their all-female printing company, find themselves at the forefront of the Irish Literary Revival surrounded by the characters so important in the life of W.B.Yeats including Maud Gonne, Lady Gregory, James Joyce, AE, Sean O’Casey and John Millington Synge.
Since 2010, Sinead Murphy and Darina Gallagher (the Shannon Colleens), have been creating award-winning music-theatre productions relating to the life and works of James Joyce. In 2014, they created Here Comes Everybody : Songs from Finnegans Wake by James Joyce for Dublin City Public Libraries as part of the Bealtaine Festival to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of Finnegans Wake. They have performed their shows, Songs of Joyce and Caf̩ Chantant to critical acclaim, touring nationally and internationally including Moscow, New York, Prague, Vienna, Trieste, Glasgow and Coruna.
Gender ARC supports excellence and collaboration in gender research across NUI Galway and University of Limerick.
New members and affiliates are always welcome – for more information see: www.genderarc.org

Gender ARC research seminar:May-Len Skilbrei, University of Oslo, Norway 'The Sex Purchase Ban in Sweden and Norway: evaluating law-in-action'
2015-09-11 11:00
Gender ARC is pleased to invite you to a research seminar May-Len Skilbrei, University of Oslo, Norway“The Sex Purchase Ban in Sweden and Norway: evaluating law-in-action”
This seminar launches the first all-Ireland network for researchers critically engaged in the area of commercial sex and its attendant politics. A further one-day series of workshops will be held in University of Limerick on November 27th 2015. All are welcome to attend. For further details and to reserve a place, contact annmarie.joyce@ul.ie
Abstract: Much is said about the unilateral sex purchase ban in Sweden and Norway – called the Swedish or Nordic model – in debates on prostitution policies elsewhere. Claims about the laws made in these debates make it necessary to critically assess the evidence of their effects, and to understand how they operate in a larger context where social welfare provisions and other sets of legal and administrative instruments also apply.
In her talk, Skilbrei goes beyond the ideological arguments and pragmatic reasoning behind the Sex Purchase Act in both countries, to explore how the Acts are argued for and put to work today. She argues that the explicit intentions behind the acts are counteracted by how their implementation works in practice and that they have been repurposed to meet new goals. Both of these aspects of prostitution law-in-action need to be considered in debates over whether or not to ‘export’ similar Acts to new contexts.
Professor May-Len Skilbrei is based in theDepartment of Criminology and Sociology of Law, University of Oslo. She researches prostitution and prostitution policies, and labour and migration. In the last decade, her research has dealt mainly with human trafficking and prostitution policies in the Nordic countries. She published a book on prostitution policies in the Nordic countries with Charlotta Holmstr̦m (Ashgate 2013). Prof. Skilbrei is Vice Chair of the European network of prostitution scholars, COST Action “Comparing European Prostitution Policies: Understanding Scales and Cultures of Governance (ProsPol)”, and is as co-editor of the Routledge book series Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale.
Followed by Gender ARC reception and network members meeting (1.00-3.00pm)

Persons, documents, models: organising and structuring information for the Web
People and documents are of enduring interest. Documents may be generated by individuals, collective groups, and administrations, on any number of topics. We are particularly interested in the relationships between people and documents. The most important relationships are creation (authors, illustrators, translators, …), usage (e.g. association copies), and topic-of (e.g. people may be the subjects of biographies).
In this lecture, we will talk about several approaches for modeling, or representing, people and documents. We pay particular attention to computer-based approaches to organization, and to organizing information for websites. We will talk briefly about TEI and XML, and the focus on my area of research expertise: modeling “linked data”, a widely adopted approach for interlinking data. Adopted by the UK and US governments and search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, linked data has also been widely used in the digital humanities and by libraries, archives, and museums. It consists in naming objects of interest (be they authors, documents, or whatnot) and using standard data formats to enable interlinking.

Derek Gladwin, University of British Columbia and Moore Institute Visiting Research Fellow’North Atlantic Poetry and Multimedia: Environmentalism, Space and Websites’
This talk discusses the relationship between two interdisciplinary environmental and spatial approaches to literature, known as ecocriticism and geocriticism, through two interactive websites that focus on the poetry of Eavan Boland and Marlene Creates. In one website, Creates, who is an environmental poet and photographer from Newfoundland, Canada, has created a multimedia experience titled A Virtual Walk of the Boreal Poetry Garden. Across the North Atlantic, another website titled The Poetry Project: Poetry and Art from Ireland employs a similar multimedia format, incorporating short videos of place-based poetry read orally in built and non-built environments. Boland’s poem ‰Û÷In Our Own Country’, which is accompanied by Oliver Comerford’s short film Distance, is the selection from ‰Û÷The Poetry Project’ considered in this talk. What is important about these two projects is that they are meant to be experienced on the web. These online representations of environmental poetry also use elements of interest for ecocritics and geocritics alike, capturing both real and imagined spaces, while also expanding the boundaries among disciplines, genres, and platforms. Ultimately, this talk examines how these two websites demonstrate through poetry, image, and virtual experience the ability to promote environmental awareness through spatial representations of place.
Derek Gladwin is a Social Sciences and Humanities Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of English at the University of British Columbia. His work primarily focuses on the environmental humanities in 20th– and 21st-century literary, film, and visual cultures in Ireland, the UK, and the North Atlantic. Gladwin is author of the forthcoming book, Contentious Terrains: Boglands in the Irish Postcolonial Gothic (2016), and co-editor of Eco-Joyce: The Environmental Imagination of James Joyce (2015) and Unfolding Irish Landscapes: Tim Robinson, Culture and Environment (2015). He is currently co-editing an issue on ‰Û÷Irish Environmental Criticism’ for the Canadian Journal of Irish Studies, and will serve as an Environmental Humanities Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh in the autumn of 2015.
