SUMMARY:Drama\, Theatre and Performance Speaker Series -Charlotte McIvor\,  'Migration\, Performance and Contemporary Ireland'
DESCRIPTION:Drama\, Theatre and Performance Speaker Series\nCharlotte McIvor\n‘Migration\, Performance and Contemporary Ireland’\nThis 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. \nHow 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. \nfor more information please contact charlotte.mcivor@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:The launch of the second English edition of Giacomo Leopardi's Zibaldone with Prof. Franco D'Intino and Prof. Michael Caesar
DESCRIPTION:Lo Zibaldone\, Leopardi and Translation \nOrganized by: Italian Institute of Culture and NUI Galway \nThe launch of the second English edition of Giacomo Leopardi’s Zibaldone with Prof. Franco D’Intino and Prof. Michael Caesar. \nPublished 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. \nThis essential book will change our understanding of the origins of modern culture. It is an extraordinary\, epochal publication. \nAlthough 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) \nGiacomo 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. \nFranco 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.” \nMichael 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). \nFor more information please contact anne.oconnor@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:Gender ARC research seminar:May-Len Skilbrei\, University of Oslo\, Norway   'The Sex Purchase Ban in Sweden and Norway: evaluating law-in-action'
DESCRIPTION: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”\nThis 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 \nAbstract: 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. \nIn 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. \nProfessor 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. \nFollowed by Gender ARC reception and network members meeting (1.00-3.00pm)

SUMMARY:Dr Jodi Schneider\, INRIA Sophia Antipolis - M̩diterran̩e\, France and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow -Persons\, documents\, models: organising and structuring information for the Web
DESCRIPTION:Persons\, documents\, models: organising and structuring information for the Web \nPeople 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). \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Derek Gladwin\, University of British Columbia and Moore Institute Visiting Fellow - 'North Atlantic Poetry and Multimedia: Environmentalism\, Space and Websites'
DESCRIPTION:Derek Gladwin\, University of British Columbia and Moore Institute Visiting Research Fellow’North Atlantic Poetry and Multimedia: Environmentalism\, Space and Websites’\nThis 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. \nDerek 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.

SUMMARY:Moore Institute Visiting Fellow Seminar: Maria McGarrity (Long Island University)  'Exhibiting Ireland:  Immigrants and Visual Culture in Derek Walcott's Joycean New World Epic'   - Jack Fennell (University of Limerick)  'Thrasymachus versus Calib
DESCRIPTION:Moore Institute Seminar \nMaria McGarrity \n(Long Island University and Moore Institute) \n‰Û÷Exhibiting Ireland: \nImmigrants and Visual Culture in Derek Walcott’s Joycean New World Epic’ \nJack Fennell \n(University of Limerick and Moore Institute) \n‰Û÷Thrasymachus versus Caliban: Monstrosity and the Limits of Expansion’ \n“Exhibiting Ireland: Immigrants and Visual Culture in Derek Walcott’s Omeros\, a Joycean New World Epic” \nThe John C. Messenger manuscript in the Hardiman library details folklore and ethnography on Montserrat\, “the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean\,” in the mid twentieth century.  Such a vibrant catalog of the Caribbean Irish frames Derek Walcott’s Irish textual exhibit\, a highly organized and illustrated collection of Irish characters in his transatlantic epic Omeros: Major Plunkett\, Maud Plunkett\, and Lawrence. These characters have cultural associations not simply to Ireland but to a specific collection of historical figures that helped shape Dublin museum culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This network of allusion\, inspired by the “the keeper of the Kildare street museum” that Joyce mocks in the “Circe” episode of Ulysses becomes reframed and reimagined on St. Lucia in the mid twentieth century.  Walcott’s imaginary museum of the book includes several dominant cultural and political figures from Ireland\, from radically different social registers and affiliations\, and re-locates them to the West Indies.   Walcott’s catalogue becomes a Joycean museum. \nMaria McGarrity is Professor of English at Long Island University in Brooklyn\, New York.  She works on island geographies\, primitivism\, and transnational modernism in Irish and Caribbean literatures.  Her two new books are just out this month: Allusions in Omeros: Notes and a Guide to Derek Walcott’s Masterpiece (University of Florida Press\, 2015) and a co-edited collection\, Caribbean Irish Connections: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (University of the West Indies Press\, 2015). Caution: the ink may not yet be dry.

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarship Seminar: Brad Pasanek (University of Virginia) and Moore Institute visiting fellow - Poetic Diction: Tokens and Change
DESCRIPTION:Digital Scholarship Seminar:\nBrad Pasanek (University of Virginia) and Moore Institute visiting fellow\nPoetic Diction: Tokens and Change\nDigital Scholarship Seminar‘s final visiting speaker event of this series takes place next Tuesday lunchtime and features Dr Brad Pasanek from the Department of English at the University of Virginia. Dr Pasanek is a current Moore Institute Visiting Fellow\, and his talk focuses on computing the language of early modern poetry. The presentation will be followed by lunch (kindly provided by the Moore Institute) at 1pm. \nAbstract: “Poetic diction” is an early modern term of art\, used to mark distinctions between prose and verse. It signals a belief that poets speak and write a special kind of language. But “poetic diction” is also the term selected by William Wordsworth in the preface to Lyrical Ballads to sum up and mark a break with eighteenth-century poetics. “Poetic diction\,” complained Wordsworth\, is “mechanical” and “artificial\,” a “hubbub of words.” Poets should instead write poems\, claims Wordsworth\, famously\, in the “real language of men.” By 1800\, it would seem\, the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century stock of words and phrases was well worn if not worn out. \nPoetic diction\, as a topic of scholarly interest\, had itself become a worn one by the 1950s; but then computational methods may offer new insights into moribund topics. In particular\, when I see critics compile a large “set of phrases” that occur with “wearisome iteration” or provide a short list of stock phraseology (“blushing flowers\,” “cool gales\,” ” lab’ring oxen\,” “curling smokes\,” “fleet shades\,” and “dusky green”)\, it is the mechanical\, iterative quality of the verse surveyed that most interests me. Computational methods work by iteration; and from the perspective of a computational linguist\, the stock of phrases complained of by some literary critics are so many types and tokens\, waiting to counted and mapped. In the current moment\, in which great quantities of verse-Metaphysical\, Neoclassical\, Romantic-have been digitized\, an opportunity to identify the stock of phrases and visualize their changing frequencies presents itself. \nBio: Brad Pasanek is an Assistant Professor in the English Department of the University of Virginia. His first book\, Metaphors of Mind: An Eighteenth-Century Dictionary ships in the coming month from Johns Hopkins University Press. (Act now! Buy two\, get one free.) His efforts have been described by one of his colleagues in the digital humanities\, as “distant reading by hand\,” and his book digests and analyzes over 10\,000 of the metaphors collected online at The Mind is a Metaphor. \nFor further informatition\, contact: Dr PÌÁdraic Moran (padraic.moran@nuigalway.ie)\, \nor Dr Justitin Tonra (justitin.tonra@nuigalway.ie) \nwww.nuigalway.ie/digital-seminar ‰ۢ www.facebook.com/nuigdss

SUMMARY:Professor Kate Nash\,Department of Sociology\, Goldsmiths\, University of London - 'Women's rights\, distant suffering and neo-imperialism'
DESCRIPTION:Gender ARC and Global Women’s Studies at NUI Galway  \nAre pleased to invite you to a Reception & Public Lecture   “Women’s rights\, distant suffering and neo-imperialism”  Professor Kate Nash \nDepartment of Sociology\, Goldsmiths\, University of London \nAbstract: Earlier this year the film ‰Û÷India’s Daughter’ was banned in India: it is illegal to show it there.  It is widely agreed that at least part of the Indian government’s reasoning was that it is a form of imperialism.  In responding to the ban\, the Israeli born\, UK-based director of the film\, Leslee Udwin\, claimed that\, as a global citizen\, she had the right to make it\, and to criticise Indian society.  Justifying imperialism using the rhetoric of human rights has a long and continuing history.  At the same time\, however\, the question of how we should respond to representations of people suffering in other countries cannot be avoided.  If neo-imperialism is the state of mind that ‰Û÷They need us to achieve rights; while we didn’t need them’\, what can we learn from the film and its reception about women’s rights\, distant suffering\, and neo-imperialism?  \n Kate Nash is a leading political sociologist whose work focuses on the nexus of human rights\, politics and culture.  Professor Nash has been with the Department of Sociology at Goldsmiths since 1999 where she teaches on the sociology of human rights; cultural politics; political sociology; feminist theory; citizenship; social movements; and equality and diversity. She earned a degree in Sociology at City University as a mature student\, completing in 1990\, and then a PhD in the Department of Government at Essex University\, finishing in 1995. She is Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy at Goldsmiths\, and a Fellow of the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University. In 2010\, Professor Nash she was Visiting Professor at the New School for Social Research\, New York and Vincent Wright Professor at Sciences Po\, Paris.  Kate Nash is a highly-regarded\, pioneering thinker on the sociology and politics of human rights in a context of globalisation.
