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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140522T171500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20140522T171500 DTSTAMP:20260403T191643 CREATED:20160824T134712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134712Z UID:2242-1400778900-1400778900@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Book Launch: Daniel Carey\, ed.\, Money and Political Economy in the Enlightenment (Oxford: Voltaire Foundation\, 2014).

Digitised texts can be very useful to the humanities researcher; before you can use any kind of computational analysis\, you must first create a machine-readable version of your text(s). With machine-readable texts\, you can run corpus analyses\, create concordances and collocations\, and even perform stylometry analyses. If your work involves any computational analysis\, or if you want to look into including computational analysis in your work\, this workshop may be useful to you. \nThis workshop is aimed at scholars in the Arts and Humanities\, both postgrad students and faculty. This is a hands-on workshop – we will be going through the build of a budget bookscanner and the entire process of scanning\, post-processing\, and optical character recognition. If you want to build your own budget bookscanner at the workshop\, you will need to bring certain materials. Basic computer literacy is a must\, but a gentle introduction to the specific software we’ll be using will be provided. \nSpaces are limited for this workshop\, so you are advised to register your interest by emailing m.connell3@nuigalway.ie as soon as possible.

In addition to authorship attribution\, Computational Stylometry may be used to investigate relationships between texts in such areas as gender\, genre\, and chronology. \nFor example?J. K. Rowling was recently exposed as the author of the pseudonymous novel\, The Cuckoo’s Calling\, thanks to the Computational Stylometric work of Patrick Juola. A professor of computer science\, Juola also runs a private consulting firm that applies stylometric techniques to disputed documents and in psychological profiling for the legal professions. Similar techniques have aided historical research by verifying the authenticity of letters written during the American Civil War\, and sought to reveal how pronouns and other function words reveal personality traits and relationship roles. \nWhat does the workshop involve?It will include an introduction to the history and theory of stylometry\, and will focus on the practical application of the Stylo package. Alongside examples of Stylo’s use\, participants will complete hands-on practical exercises with the tool. A set of sample texts will be supplied\, but participants are free to bring their own texts in plain text or TEI XML format. \nWhat is the schedule for the day?10.00-10.30 Introduction to Stylometry10.30-11.00 Installation of R and Stylo; settings and options11.00-11.30 The stylo function; hands-on practice11.30-12.00 Tea break12.00-13.00 The oppose function; hands-on practice13.00-14.00 Lunch14.00-14.30 Case study: authorship attribution and the Christabel review14.30-15.30 The classify function; hands-on practice15.30-16.00 Open session: practice / discussion / Q and A \nI am interested\, but am not sure this is for me…Computational stylometry can be either a means or an end. While is it used to identify authors andverify documents\, it can also be employed for more exploratory purposes: for identifying patternsand sequences within a text or group of texts. If your work involves analysing texts\, this workshopmay be useful to you. \nDo I need to be a programmer to learn this?No. This workshop is led by and aimed at scholars in the Arts and Humanities. Some experience withcomputer-aided text-analysis will be a benefit\, but nothing other than general digital literary isrequired. \nAnything else I should know?Attendance is free. Places are limited on this workshop\, however\, so you are advised to register yourinterest as soon as possible. Attendees will be required to bring their own laptops: R and Stylo willnot work on mobile devices. \nOk\, you’ve sold me. What do I do now?Contact Justin Tonra (justin.tonra@nuigalway.ie) to register your interest in participating. Youshould mention any previous experience you have had with text-mining or text-analysis\, anddescribe how the workshop relates to your own work.
