The presentations will deal with Navarre’s life and works (poems\, plays\, novels)\, the publication and reception of his writings\, and also his unpublished Diary\, a fascinating document held in BAnQ\, Biblioth̬que et Archives nationales du Qu̩bec\, which gives an interesting insight into the man and the writer.

Cultural and phenotypical differences are\, however\, are rarely unambiguous\, and the creation and revision of ethnic categories often reveals the assumptions of dominant groups that shape government policy. Tracing changes in ethnic classifications in Malaysian censuses from the colonial era to the present shows the imprint of ideology on how groups are defined and measured. \nProfessor Charles Hirschman is the Boeing International Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at the Department of Sociology\, University of Washington. He is the author of numerous works on the sociology of race\, ethnicity\, immigration\, demography and education in Southeast Asia and the United States. \nSchool of Political Science & Sociology \nPower\, Conflict & Ideology Research Cluster URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/professor-charles-hirschman-census-classifications-and-racial-ideology-in-malaysia/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140827T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140827T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T223813 CREATED:20160824T134713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134713Z UID:2263-1409155200-1409155200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Professor Brendan O'Leary: public lecture on 'Power-sharing in deeply divided places with special reference to Iraq and Northern Ireland' DESCRIPTION:Professor Brendan O’Leary: public lecture on ‰Û÷Power-sharing in deeply divided places with special reference to Iraq and Northern Ireland’\, NUI Galway\, 27 August\, 2014.

He was born in Cork\, Ireland and his childhood and teenage years were mostly spent in Nigeria\, Sudan\, and Northern Ireland. \nBefore coming to Penn\, O’Leary was on the faculty of the London School of Economics and Political Science between 1983 and 2003\, where he had been Professor of Political Science\, head of its Government Department\, and an elected Academic Governor. Between 2012 and 2014 he is also Professor of Political Science at Queen’s University Belfast. ̢åÛå¬̢åÛå¬O’Leary’s professorial career has been combined with political advisory work.

Drawing on doctoral research within the respective cultures as practiced in Australia\, this seminar presents a comparison of Carnatic and sean-nÌ_s singing from the perspectives of anthropology\, ethnomusicology and linguistics. In the process\, some interesting theoretical insights emerge about performance and the relationship between music and language. \nBiography: \nMahesh Radhakrishnan is a language and music scholar with a research interest in the performance of language\, linguistic diversity\, language ideology\, interaction and the intersections between language and music in singing. He holds a PhD in Linguistics from Macquarie University\, Sydney\, for a thesis on Irish traditional singing and South Indian classical Carnatic singing in Australia. He has conducted linguistic research on Tamil\, Irish\, English\, Telugu\, Sanskrit and Jawoyn\, an Australian Aboriginal language. \nMahesh is also a singer\, musician and composer with over 20 years of training and experience in the Carnatic tradition and he has explored a range of styles\, particularly Irish traditional sean-nÌ_s and instrumental music. He has directed and advised on music for stage productions and leads the worldy folk music group Tapestries of Sound which he founded in 2002. \nMahesh is currently a Visitor in the School of Anthropology at the Australian National University and is collaborating with Dr. Lillis ÌÒ Laoire on a project titled ‰Û÷Irish language\, sean-nÌ_s and linguistic ecologies of traditional performance’ \nFor more information contact lillis.olaoire@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/dr-mahesh-radhakrishnan-australian-national-university-south-indian-carnatic-singing-and-sean-ni_s-an-ethnographic-musical-and-linguistic-comparison-of-two-distinct-performance-traditions/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140731T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140731T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T223813 CREATED:20160824T134713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134713Z UID:2261-1406804400-1406804400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:New Work on Irish Literature.

It brought together\, for the first time\, the leading scholars in this field from all over the world\, and the conference papersprovided a panorama of Early Medieval scientific knowledge\, both in Ireland and in the rest of Western Europe\, during the period of the so-called ‘Dark Ages’. That first Conference was an outstanding success\, and the proof is in the fact that we have had four others since\, and are now looking forward to the fifth this coming July. In fact\, the study of computistics has become synonymous with Galway\, with the result that NUIG has become the permanent home for the Conference \nThe previous Science of Computus conferences in Galway highlighted \n\nThe transmission of Late Antique Mathematical Knowledge in Ireland & Europe The Development of Astronomy in Early Medieval Ireland & Europe The Irish role in the development of Computistical Mathematics The use of computistics for purposes of prognostication \n\nThe Proceedings of the 1st (2006) Conference and of the 2nd (2008) have already been published\, while those of the 3rd (2010) Conference will shortly go to press. The papers\, as a rule\, appeal equally to those interested in the history of science in Ireland and Europe\, and in the origins of present-day mathematical and astronomical ideas\, specialist scholars and the wider public. \nThis year’s image is the zodiac from the Aratea manuscript in Boulogne\, Boulogne Ms 188\, f. 30v. \nFriday\, July 11\n16:00 -16:30 Welcome to the Conference \n16:30-18:00 Session 1 \nCharles Burnett: The Abacista\, companion to the Computista \nSusan Rankin: Remembering the calendar: singing Nonae Aprilis \nMichal Choptiany: Late-17th-century Cracow manuscripts of computes: Cracow\, Jagiellonian Libr.\, MS. 3377\, and Warsaw\, Nat.

Dr Niall ÌÒ CiosÌÁin\, National University of Ireland\, Galway. Nineteenth-century studies continues to engender some of the most dynamic scholarship in the study of historical readership with works like Leah Price’s How to Do Things with Books in Victorian Britain (2012) featuring some of the most thought-provoking commentary on reader encounters with print to emerge in recent times. \nConceptualisations of the functions print commodities served for various groups of nineteenth-century consumers grow increasingly nuanced. Much of this research into the history of reading has been fuelled by mass digitization endeavours like Google Books and digital humanities projects like The Reading Experience Database. However\, while such resources offer significant possibilities\, the conditions under which one now engages with this primary material can give rise to questions of context\, materiality\, and access. Accordingly\, this two-day conference will seek to appraise the current state of the field and offer a forum for twenty-minute papers that address any aspect of the consumption and production of Victorian print culture matter\, historical or contemporary. It is also envisaged that an edited collection published by an international academic house will result from the conference. Possible topics upon which submissions are welcome include but are certainly not limited to: \nåá Historical readers and reading practices of the Victorian period \nåá Readership and issues of gender and/or sexuality: e.g. constructions of “the woman reader”; “masculine” reading matter; and “queer” reading experiences. \nåá Periodical and/or serial circulation and consumption in territories like nineteenth-century Britain\, Ireland\, Canada\, the Antipodes\, and Asia \nåá The publication\, dissemination\, and consumption of books and/or series in nineteenth-century Britain\, Ireland\, Canada\, the Antipodes\, and Asia \nåá Transnational print culture in the nineteenth century: national and global identities \nåá Methodological concerns in the study of the history of reading \nåá Consumers\, producers\, and Victorian visual culture \nåá Disposable literature and ephemera of the Victorian age \nåá Scholarly editing projects and nineteenth-century culture \nåá The planning\, design\, and use of digital resources in the study of nineteenth-century print culture\, including debates surrounding open access and paywalls. \nPlease send a proposal of no more than 300 words together with a short biography (c. 100 words) to victorianprintconsumption2014@gmail.com by 16 April 2014. Decisions will be announced in early May. Postgraduates and early career scholars are particularly welcome.

Our aim is to reach a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between the peripheral regions of Europe and her empires and Europe‰۪s metropolitan core through the comparative and transnational analysis of the contribution of European\, Asian and African peripheries to the war effort in World War I. \nProf. Michael S. Neiberg\, an eminent scholar of World War I\, will deliver the keynote address. Prof. Neiberg has written extensively on the multiple theatres and global reach of the War\, most notably in Fighting the Great War: A Global History (Harvard\, 2006) and Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I (2011). \nScholars are invited to submit papers on themes focusing on social\, political\, or economic aspects of Europe‰۪s small nations and colonial regions during World War I. \nThemes covered may include the following: \n\nColonial troops serving in Europe\nTroops of ethnic European minority populations serving in Europe \nTroops of ethnic European minority populations serving in overseas colonies\nExperiences of populations of independent small nations in Europe\nExperiences of populations of ethnic minorities within European multiethnic states\nExperiences of indigenous and settler populations of European overseas empires\n\nåáOfficial attempts to mobilise popular support across all ethnic groups in Europe and in the overseas colonies \n\nSupport for or resistance to such mobilisation efforts and their different outcomes\n\nPapers may address the following geographical regions: \n\nPeripheries of European multi-ethnic empires in Europe\nPeripheries of European belligerent powers to the east and south of Europe\nEurope‰۪s overseas colonies\n\nThe workshop is an initiative of RÌ_isÌ_n Healy\, Enrico Dal Lago\, and GearÌ_id Barry at the History Department\, NUI Galway\, and will be held in June 2014 in order to mark the beginning of the commemorations for the hundredth anniversary of the start of World War I. \nProspective participants should send a paper title and a 300-word abstract\, accompanied by a 1-page CV to enrico.dallago@nuigalway.ie by the deadline of 28 February 2014.

Mathews published an edited collection of the speakers’articles\, New Voices in Irish Criticism. In the introduction\, Mathews notes the text “can be taken as a snapshotof the current state of Irish studies.” The collection of articles presented reflect the work of the Irish academyat the end of the twentieth century as well as Mathews’ and Declan Kiberd’s joint efforts to showcase not onlythe new voices in Irish criticism but also the ways in which those scholars were challenging the boundaries ofIrish criticism. In establishing this forum\, Mathews and Kiberd emphasized the necessity for young scholarswithin the Irish academy to interact with one another\, across universities and\, most importantly\, acrossdisciplines.More than ever it is important that early career scholars connect with their peers and future colleagues. Theacademic market is a challenging field\, especially for young scholars. This conference seeks to establish anintellectual exchange that will only strengthen in the years to come.In that vein\, National University of Ireland\, Galway will proudly host the 2014 New Voices conference. Weinvite papers from all departments and encourage collaborative papers\, new media\, and panel ideas. We alsoinvite paper proposals from early career scholars outside of Ireland who focus on Irish Studies. Theparticipants at the inaugural New Voices conference presented papers on far-reaching topics\, from theorizingthe novel to politics and revival. This year we seek papers that broaden what Irish Studies means\, reflecting onthe legacy of the New Voices conference and the themes and issues which continue to resonate in itssubsequent iterations.We welcome proposals for twenty-minute papers\, in English or in Irish\, from all disciplines in relation to Irishstudies. We especially invite submissions which broaden definitions and push scholarly boundaries. Topicsmay include but are certainly not limited to: \nRepresentations of the Irish Body-The Irish Body in film/literature/art-Irish Physicalities-Trauma and the Body \nIrish Modernisms-Urbanity/Cosmopolitanism-Modernity in 20th century Ireland-Myth-making in Irish literature-(Post)Modern (Post)Colonial Ireland \nIreland and Place-The landscape of Ireland-The seascape around Ireland \nHidden Narratives-The Irish in Europe-The Role of Ireland in the World Wars-Cultural Memory \nComparative Ireland-Interdisciplinarity in Irish Studies-Inter/Trans-National Irishness \nPerforming Ireland-(Re)Presentations of Identity-Global Performances/Perspectives \nLiterature-Ireland and Eco-criticism-Urban versus Pastoral-Centre and the Peripheral/Borderlands \nAlternative Cultures-Marginalised narratives-‘Queerness’ in Irish literature-Masculinites/Femininities-Race and ‰Û÷Otherness’ in Ireland-Ireland and the Diaspora \nDeadline for abstracts: 31 January\, 2014Please send abstracts of 250-300 words to newvoices2014@nuigalway.ie.

Speakers are James Curry (Moore Inst.) and Meredith Meagher (Univ. of Notre Dame). Tickets\, ‰âÂ3 (‰âÂ2 concession). \nA new bridge over the Liffey has just been named after Rosie Hackett (1892-1960)\, a working class woman associated with the early labour movement in Dublin. Hackett was certainly remarkable\, an activist of the Irish Women Workers Union while still a teenager. Historian James Curry has thoroughly researched Hackett‰۪s life and he will give a full account of it. \nThe life of a contemporary of Hackett‰۪s\, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890-1961) will be introduced by Meredith Meagher. Gurley Flynn\, whose radical career in the American labour movement also began while she was still a teenager was born in Boston\, the daughter of a Loughrea woman\, Ann Gurley. At 17\, she became a full-time organiser for the Industrial Workers of the World\, and she remained a political and social activist for the rest of her life. She died while visiting the USSR\, and was honoured there with a state funeral. Gurley Flynn took the title of her autobiography\, Rebel Girl\, from the title of a song written about her by her comrade\, Joe Hill. \nContact: \nJohn Cunningham (ICHLC) \nSchool of Humanities (History) \nNUI Galway \nhttp://www.nuigalway.ie/history/cunningham/index.html URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/rebel-girls-rosie-hackett-and-elizabeth-gurley-flynn/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
