SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning. \n\nCreative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design\, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones)\, online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below\, for you to work through at your own pace.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome along\, meet people who are also learning to code\, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too. \nFurther details\nYou can find further details\, and learning resources\, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup. The sessions run on Wednesday from 3pm – 4pm\, in IT 303\, IT Building\, NUI Galway. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Italian School of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures The Moore Institute :The aesthetics of post-secular “iconoclash”: the “scandal” of religion in Castellucci and Sorrentino
DESCRIPTION:By Monica Jansen\, Utrecht University \nWith the concepts of “scandal” (Pasolini) and “iconoclash” (Latour) this lecture investigates the tensions between religion and aesthetics created by a post-secular work of art when it enters in collision with the public sphere. For this purpose it compares the iconoclast reactions of the public to Romeo Castellucci’s performance Sul concetto di volto nel figlio di Dio in 2011 with the “contradiction” embodied by pope Pius XIII in Paolo Sorrentino’s succesfull TV-series The Young Pope (2017). \nMonica Jansen is Assistant Professor in Italian Literature at the Department of Languages\, Literature and Communication (TLC) – Italian language and culture\, at Utrecht University. Her research interests include modernism and postmodernism studies\, and more specifically new forms of cultural engagement. She investigates cultural representations of socially relevant topics such as religion\, precarity\, youth and migration\, from an interdisciplinary\, transmedial and transnational perspective. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Digitising Cultural Heritage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This day-long workshop will start by discussing issues related to the digitisation of cultural heritage; this panel will be followed by two practical sessions aimed at giving participants the skills needed to carry out their own digitisation projects. \nDigitising of cultural heritage in Ireland: Open Forum\nAn open panel discussion on how Ireland can best meet the recommendations set out by the EU Declaration on Cooperation on Advancing Digitisation of Cultural Heritage which was launched on Digital Day 2019 and to which Ireland is a signatory. The National Monuments Service of the Department of Culture\, Heritage and the Gaeltacht which liaises with the EU in relation to digital media will chair the session. \nThis will be followed by workshops on digitising cultural heritage in the areas of LiDAR\, GIS\, Photogrammetry\, Laser Scanning and Data Management. \n\nPlease Note: This is a free event\, but registration is required due to limited space. \n\nSession 1 – Photogrammetry\nIn this workshop\, we’ll examine the photo capture and post-processing strategies using Agisoft Metashape to generate models\, but we’ll reference open source alternatives as well. \nPhotogrammetry has transformed the way cultural heritage assets are captured in 3D. Computational power is now such that anyone with a camera and a recent generation computer can create detailed 3D models from a collection of digital photographs of a subject. In this session we look at ways of getting the best possible results for cultural heritage objects and sites! \nSession 2 – LiDAR\, Photogrammetry and GIS\nIn this workshop\, we will examine the integration of LiDAR and Photogrammetry with GIS packages. \nAs photogrammetry and LiDAR topographical data becomes more accessible we will look at how best to use these different techniques to enhance the digital cultural record\, and to create detailed site maps. \nAbout the Workshop\nAttendees are encouraged to download a demo version of Metashape\, and to bring along a camera and a laptop. Most importantly\, bring something you’d like to document in 3D. It could be a childhood toy\, a souvenir\, a foodstuff\, It works best if your “thing” isn’t shiny and has a surface texture with plenty of detail and contrast. \nThis workshop is scheduled as part of a programme of events around digital creativity\, digital media\, critical practice\, in association with DH_AGE\, The Moore Institute at NUI Galway\, and the Department of Culture Heritage and Gealtacht\, National Monuments Service \nRegister to attend the workshop.

SUMMARY:The Kei Uta Collective
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Professor Huhana Smith\, Massey University\, New Zealand as part of Irish Studies’ Seminar Series \nYou are invited to attend the second seminar of our Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, which is run in association with Carbon Cultures hosted by the Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway this month. \nThis seminar will take place at 4pm\, Tuesday 22 October at Room G010\, Moore Institute\, Hardiman Research Building\, NUI Galway. \nWe are delighted this month to welcome the artist\, scholar and curator Professor Huhana Smith to the Centre for Irish Studies\, as part of an Irish Research Council New Foundations award in collaboration with Professor Karen E. Till and the Space&Place Research Collective\, Department of Geography\, Maynooth University. This is a follow up seminar to our Carbon Cultures Interdisciplinary Seminar we hosted earlier this year where Dr Cathy Fitzgerald was in conversation with Dr Iain Biggs on eco-social futures\, and all that attended that seminar would be most welcome to attend on this occasion as well. \nHuhana will be discussing her ongoing work with the Kei Uta Collective in New Zealand. This is a transdisciplinary research team that has worked together since 2014 to determine necessary adaptation toolkits and transition action plans that aim to mitigate uncontrollable climate change\, its unpredictability\, and prepare communities in the short term for their long term protection. The Kei Uta Collective has created unique and compelling collaborations where culture\, science\, design and contemporary art privilege Māori ideas of ecological and cultural sustainability\, and which are location-specific to Kuku\, Horowhenua\, Te Ika a Maui/North Island\, New Zealand. \nProfessor Huhana Smith is a visual artist\, curator and principle investigator in research who engages in major environmental\, trans-disciplinary\, kaupapa Māori and action-research projects. She is co-principle investigator for research that includes mātauranga Māori methods with sciences to actively address climate change concerns for coastal Māori lands in Horowhenua-Kāpiti. Huhana actively encourages the use of art and design’s visual systems combined in exhibitions\, to expand how solutions might integrate complex issues and make solutions more accessible for local communities. \nWe are also delighted to welcome eco-social artist Laura Donkers (University of Dundee) as our session discussant on Tuesday. Laura will explore some of the key issues that Huhana will be addressing in her lecture\, and examine it in relation to her own work and experience in the Outer Hebrides and Scottish visual and ecological cultures more widely. \nWe would like to acknowledge the support of the Irish Research Council\, Centre for Irish Studies NUI Galway\, Dept. of Geography Maynooth University\, School of Art Massey University\, and the Research Support Scheme\, CASSCS\, NUI Galway\, in co-hosting our seminar this month. \nAs usual\, do spread the word as beidh fáilte roimh chách! \nLe gach dea-ghuí\, \n

SUMMARY:Performance and the Archive: Presence\, Absence\, and Digital Memory
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will address current research\, practice and developments in the field of digital theatre historiography\, archival curation\, and memory and performance studies. The digital interface between the archive of past performance and the present is enabling new encounters between presence and absence\, as well as navigating and contesting the recognised documented repertoire. The digital future of the archive presents challenges in terms of documentation of contemporary theatre practice. Processes generated and experienced through virtual and augmented reality\, digital video installation and other technologically-enabled performance\, effects our collective memory. The reanimated archive of aural and visual media\, the corporal record of movement and space\, as well as the essence and affect of live reception\, present an ever-more interdisciplinary engagement with the digital and born-digital archive of performance. The symposium will discuss and question the future presence and possible absence from digital theatre archives\, how we encounter and experience exhibitions and display of such records\, as well as the documentation and curation of future digital performance. \n\nThe event will also include a launch of the new book: Navigating Ireland’s Theatre Archive: Theory\, Practice\, Performance (Peter Lang Press\, 2019) edited by Dr. Barry Houlihan and launched by Catriona Crowe. \n\nTo register and for more info please click here

SUMMARY:Wisdom after Metaphysics?
DESCRIPTION:By Professor  Markus Wörner \nAbstract \nThe paper begins with a common-sense approach to the notion of wisdom\, drawing on results of Positive Psychology. Wisdom is to be understood as a mode of being in the world based on sapiential competence informed by a general attitude of openness to (practical and theoretical) truth rather than on specialized capacities of an intellectual\, moral or religious elite. It is within the competence of Homo sapiens as such. Its acquisition results in a trustworthy and adequate co-ordination of cognitive\, emotional and characterological habits (intellectual and ethical virtues) which are suited to confront fundamental\, existential questions concerning human reality. Wisdom comes in degrees and may increase with experience. \nBiographical Note:  \nMarkus H. Wörner is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and former Head of Department at the National University of Ireland\, Galway (1986–2009). After his Lektorat in theology at the Dominican Studium Generale in Germany in 1973 and postgraduate studies in Oxford as DAAD student he completed his studies in philosophy and theology at the University of Bonn with the degree of Dr. phil. (1975). He taught fundamental theology and medieval philosophy at the Free University of Berlin (FU) while finishing his Habilitation in Philosophy (1985). He has taught as Visiting Professor at Boston College (1990) and FU Berlin (2000). His major book publications are Performative und Sprachliches Handeln (1978)\, Das Ethische in der Rhetorik des Aristoteles (1990)\, Glückendes Leben (2000)\, Verstehen an der Grenze (2003)\, and Thomas von Aquin\, Summa Contra Gentiles IV (1996). He also edited four Latin/German editions of the complete Summa Contra Gentiles. His recent research focuses on rhetorical argumentation and wisdom. He is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. \n

SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning. \n\nCreative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design\, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones)\, online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below\, for you to work through at your own pace.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome along\, meet people who are also learning to code\, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too. \nFurther details\nYou can find further details\, and learning resources\, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup. The sessions run on Wednesday from 3pm – 4pm\, in IT 303\, IT Building\, NUI Galway. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Launch of Mobility in the Russian\, Central and East European Past (2019)
DESCRIPTION:  \nProfessor  Dan Carey will launch this new volume of essays edited by Dr. Róisín Healy of the History Department. A reception will follow. \nThis edited collection reveals the enormous diversity of journeys taken into\, out of and around modern Russia and central and eastern Europe by means of twelve case studies. These range from the flight of serfs from Russia to Poland-Lithuania on foot in the eighteenth century to adventure tourists from Britain exploring Russia on motor-bikes since the turn of the new millennium. Taken together\, the essays challenge Orientalist stereotypes of the region as characterised by stasis and emphasise that travel was by no means limited to elites\, but experienced by ordinary people\, including peasants\, women and those living in peripheral locations. https://www.routledge.com/Mobility-in-the-Russian-Central-and-East-European-Past-1st-Edition/Healy/p/book/9781138354524

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Research Lecture Series: From “great” to violent: on contemporary art
DESCRIPTION:By Professor Paolo Bartoloni (Established Professor of Italian Studies) \nAbstract  \nHow is art measured today\, and is it possible to speak of contemporary art as “great”? At the turn of the millennium many believed that art was simply commercially driven or its opposite\, ephemeral. Postmodernism has often been blamed for the demise of “greatness” in art and the fading away of art’s enigma and complexity. And yet the postmodern bubble is supposed to have burst years ago\, as far back as 2005\, some believe (Perniola\, 2015). So\, what are we left with? Nothing reassuring and comfortably recognizable it seems\, certainly not a name or another “ism”. Where are we\, and what kind of parameters can be used to relate to contemporary art? In fact\, does contemporary art still matter? It appears so since it is now “the subject of global events\, tabloid coverage and mass attendance” (Mirzoeff\, 2009).  Art has blasted its way into the public sphere\, and has become “liable to be received as a provocation to or an act of violence” (Mitchell\, 1994). Has art turned from “great” to violent\, yet violent to whom and for what purpose? \nBy looking at a series of curatorial practices in the city of Florence\, this talk will rehearse some of these questions\, focusing on the way in which local identity might be challenged and even violated by the assemblage of disparate art forms that bring about what the visual studies expert Nicholas Mirzoeff calls “neoculturation” (2009). \nPaolo Bartoloni is Established Professor of Italian at the National University of Ireland\, Galway. In May 2019 he has been elected to the Royal Irish Academy. Previously he taught in Italian and Comparative Literature at the University of Sydney where he was Founding Director of the program in International and Comparative Literary Studies. \nHe has published extensively on continental theory and philosophy\, especially the works of Giorgio Agamben\, Walter Benjamin\, Martin Heidegger\, and Mario Perniola\, and their impact on the reception of authors such as Blanchot\, Calvino\, Caproni\, and Svevo. He is currently working on the interface between the Italian Renaissance and contemporary art\, especially in the context of the city of Florence. He is the author of over 60 single-authored articles in edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals and of four monographs: Objects in Italian Life and Culture: Fiction\, Migration\, and Artificiality (Palgrave\, 2016); Sapere di scrivere. Svevo e gli ordigni di La coscienza di Zeno (Il Carrubo\, 2015); On the Cultures of Exile\, Translation and Writing (Purdue UP\, 2008); Interstitial Writing: Calvino\, Caproni\, Sereni and Svevo (Troubador Publishing\, 2003). He has also co-edited several volumes including the thematic issue Ambiguity in Culture and Literature (CLCWeb\, Purdue UP\, 2010). \n

SUMMARY:A Bun in the Oven: How the Food and Birth Movements Resist Industrialization
DESCRIPTION:By Barbara Katz Rothman\, Professor of Sociology\, CUNY in association with Gender Arc at NUI Galway \nBarbara Katz Rothman\, PhD\, is Professor of Sociology\, Public Health\, Disability Studies and Women’s Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York\, where she also runs the Food Studies concentration. This talk focuses on her book\, A Bun in the Oven (2016)\, the first comparison of the birth and food social movements in the USA. In both movements\, issues of the natural\, the authentic\, and the importance of ‘meaningful’ and ‘personal’ experiences get balanced against discussions of what is sensible\, convenient and safe. And both movements operate in a context of commercial and corporate interests\,which places profit and efficiency above individual experiences and outcomes. A Bun in the Oven brings new insight into the relationship between our most intimate\, personal experiences\,the industries that control them\, and the social movements that resist the industrialization of life and seek to birth change. \nWith thanks to the Moore Institute and the Fulbright intercountry speaker scheme\nALL WELCOME!

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Q&A with historian and co-producer Bríona Nic Dhiarmada
DESCRIPTION:‘Mairéad Farrell — An Unfinished Conversation’ is a documentary from Loopline Film which investigates the life and death of Mairéad Farrell. In 1988\, the SAS shot dead Farrell and two other unarmed members of the IRA in Gibraltar. Due to her youth\, her gender\, and her stature within the IRA\, Farrell was quickly subsumed into the pantheon of Irish republican martyrs. To the British\, she was a terrorist. To her family\, she was a victim of Irish history. Martina Durac directed this documentary. \nThe screening will conclude with a Q&A with historian Bríona Nic Dhiarmada\, a co-producer of the film. The documentary film is based on the personal relationship Nic Dhiarmada had with Farrell. The two met several times and talked about Farrell’s life journey from the middle-class upbringing in Belfast to her rise as an iconic IRA figure once imprisoned then gunned down at age 31. At the time of Farrell’s death in 1988\, Nic Dhiarmada had been working on a book about her. \nAll are welcome! \nThis event is being held in tandem with a witness seminar on conflict related funerals later in the day at the Moore Institute. \nThis film screening is co-funded by the Moore Institute at NUIG and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame. \n\n\nTo register please click here

SUMMARY:'Virtuosity\, Mediocrity and Creative Education' by Dr. Ian Munday (NUI Galway)
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker\nDr. Ian Munday is Senior Lecturer in Educational Philosophy in the School of Education at NUI Galway. Ian’s research activities testify to an engagement with philosophical issues in education\, particularly those concerned with teaching and learning. His publications have tended to focus on various approaches to performatives and performativities and demonstrate the significance of these ideas for education.  The themes explored in these terms include race\, gender\, authority and the language of schooling. Here\, philosophical ideas are treated in regard to their relevance to the details of educational practice. Ian has also written on the themes of creativity and problem-solving. Ian is currently Convenor of Network 13 Philosophy of Education at ECER and Convenor of the Irish branch of the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain. \nAbstract\nThe popular understanding of creativity within the study of education tends to include the notion that everybody is creative and that one can draw a distinction between little “c” (or “common”) and big “C” (or “high”) creativity. Here “Creativity” talk resonates with other popular discourses around inclusion and well-being – creativity should no longer be the domain of the talented few\, and being creative can make us feel better. The commonly assumed connection between creativity and the arts is sublimed as the former is pictured as both ubiquitous and germane to all forms of activity. The view of creativity outlined above tends to be presented as “progressive” and vital for social and economic survival in the 21st century. “Conservative” opposition to it can be found in the work of the philosopher Roger Scruton who stresses the value of creative genius\, and the importance of being exposed to it\, in the face of what he sees as an increasingly degraded culture. In this paper I try and show ways in which the oppositions created by this disagreement deconstruct. Drawing on Nietzsche’s discussion of “untimeliness” I argue that the popular conception of creativity is only progressive in the most limited sense and contributes to conserving a nihilistic social imaginary in regard to the future. I then consider ways in which virtuosity is not without its virtues when it comes to social progress and that dulling its flame paves the way for an enforced mediocrity that maintains the status quo. Finally\, I introduce Dewey and Derrida to the discussion to consider the possibility that though creativity is in certain senses ubiquitous this need not take the anodyne form presented in the literature on education that makes this case. \nVenue: Tom Duddy seminar room\, Philosophy Building\, Morrisroe House\, 19  Distillery Road \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:‘The Clonbrock Photographic Collection and Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928): Contemporary Contexts and Public Activism' by Úna Kavanagh
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Irish Studies invites you to attend the final seminar of our Irish Studies’ Seminar Series by Úna Kavanagh\, PhD Scholar at the Centre for Irish Studies\, will speak on her current research\, ‘The Clonbrock Photographic Collection and Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928): Contemporary Contexts and Public Activism’. The seminar will take place at 4pm\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies. \nÚna Kavanagh’s doctoral research\, ‘Empire\, Science and Gender: The Life and Work of Lady Clonbrock\, August Dillon née Crofton’\, critically explores the life and work of Lady Clonbrock\, Augusta Dillon née Crofton (1839-1928) through images from the Clonbrock Photographic Collection (CPC) currently housed at the National Library of Ireland. \nHer work investigates Augusta Dillon\, Anglo-Irish woman of the ‘Big House’ at the Clonbrock Estate in East Galway. Dillon was a woman who made significant contributions to society over her extensive lifetime\, including public and private endeavours dedicated to family\, religion\, politics and the people of Connaught. This research will foreground Dillon’s scientific endeavours and her public life as a nineteenth-century Victorian woman of Ireland and Britain. Úna’s study of Augusta Dillon will strengthen\, critique and challenge previous representations of this forgotten Anglo-Irish figure. It will be the first substantial critical study of Dillon’s life\, work and legacy as framed through considerations of empire\, science and gender. \nPrevious research in the area focused predominantly on the key area of photography. It illustrated the seminal contribution of Augusta Dillon to the Clonbrock Photograph Collection (CPC) and her role as a scientific pioneer through it in the late-Victorian\, early-Edwardian era\, upholding the British Empire while residing in the West of Ireland. \nAt the seminar next Thursday Úna will demonstrate how\, through photographic images\, the Dillon family used their home and its surroundings to promote the family as being progressive\, modern\, intellectually and scientifically inquisitive\, and as benevolent landlords. Augusta’s wide-ranging public engagement will also be discussed with a particular focus on her duties with the Mountbellew Poor Law Union and Mountbellew Rural Disrict Council. Úna will be presenting on this portion of the seminar at the Galway Great Reads Festival\, “Pumps\, piers & potholes… 120 years of Local Government” at the Raheen Woods Hotel\, Athenry on Saturday 16 November 2019. \nOriginally from Kerry\, Úna Kavanagh has lived in Cork\, London and Houston\, Texas before returning to Galway in 2010. She is currently a PhD candidate engaged in a scholarly biographical study of Augusta Dillon\, Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928) working with Dr Nessa Cronin at the Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway. She completed a BA Connect with Irish Studies at NUI Galway in 2017\, and received an Irish Studies’ Fellowship to attend the Yeats’ Summer School as part of her BA studies in 2014.  Úna was awarded an MA Humanities’ Scholarship in 2017\, and in 2018 she undertook her MA in History at NUI Galway where she was won the P. J. Mara Scholarship award. Her MA Dissertation focused on how anti-Treaty internees articulated versions of masculinities and their ideologies through contributions to an autograph book from those interned in Tintown Camp No. 2 at the Curragh during 1923. \n  \nPhotos attached: 2019 Galway’s Great Read Festival: Úna Kavanagh thrilled to meet Ms Mary Glynn (née Egan) who worked in Clonbrock House in the 1940s\, at a talk on the Estate’s photo collection at Ballinasloe Library\, bringing Irish photographic and landscape history alive! \n
