SUMMARY:Travel\, Science\, and the Question  of Observation: 1580-1800
DESCRIPTION:Travel\, Science\, and the Question of Observation: 1580-1800 \nIn the early modern period\, the emergence of travel as a means of information gathering on natural history\, demography\, government\, and religion was accompanied by the use of questionnaires to orient observation. This conference investigates the development of techniques of information gathering of this kind and the networks on which they relied. Papers address the integral role of travel in the process of scientific exchange as well as to the ways that information itself traveled in British\, French\, Spanish\, and Swedish contexts. \nThe conference is supported by generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (http://www.mellon.org) and by the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University\, with the assistance of the Moore Institute for the Humanities and Social Studies\, National University of Ireland\, Galway. The ‰ÛÏTexts\, Contexts\, Culture‰۝ project is funded under the Higher Education Authority\, under PRTLI4. \nInternational conference \nHeyman Center for the Humanities \nColumbia University \nOctober 18-19\, 2013 \nFriday October 18 \nSecond Floor Common Room\, Heyman Center\, \nColumbia University \n9.15Registration and Welcome (Daniel Carey & Eileen Gillooly) \nSession 1: Home and abroad in British questionnaires \nChair: Eileen Gillooly (Columbia University) \nElizabeth Yale (Western Carolina University) \nPreparing the ground: topographical query lists and the formation of ‰ÛÏBritain‰۝ as an object of scientific study in the seventeenth century \nAsheesh Siddique (Columbia University) \nQuestionnaires\, paperwork\, and the problem of governance in the late eighteenth-century British Atlantic Enlightenment \n11.00-11.30 Coffee break \n11.30Session 2: Techniques of inquiry in the 17th century \nChair: Alan Stewart (Columbia University) \nDaniel Carey (National University of Ireland\, Galway) \nJohn Locke‰۪s anthropology of religion ‰ÛÒ questions and answers  \nCarl Wennerlind (Barnard College) \nNature‰۪s secrets revealed: Urban HiÌ_rne‰۪s questionnaire and the restoration of Atlantis \n1.00Lunch \n2.00Session 3: Enlightenment agendas \nChair: DÌÁniel MargÌ_csy (Hunter College\, CUNY) \nNicholas Dew (McGill University) \n‰ÛÏA Modell to regulate your Travels by‰۝: from wish list to expedition in the early Enlightenment \nMatthew Jones (Columbia University) \nRe-inventing the (calculating) wheel: imitation\, emulation and nescience in the Enlightenment \n3.30-4.00 Coffee break \n 4.00Session 4:The New World as an object of study \nChair: Martin J.

SUMMARY:From Ego to Eco III: Seeking Shelter or dwelling in the Open? - Examining Ecocritical Approaches to Human Habitation
DESCRIPTION:We cordially invite you to participate in the third ‰ÛÏFrom Ego to Eco‰۝ Symposium ant the 11th of October\, 10-6\, Moore Institute\, NUI Galway\,  hosted by German/ The School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures.  This time we focus on the nature/culture divide of human habitation. A detailed programme will be circulated shortly \nSeeking Shelter or dwelling in the Open? ‰ÛÒ Examining Ecocritical Approaches to Human Habitation \nFrom a socio-historical point of view\, the human need for shelter seems unquestionable. For millennia humans have built dwelling places to shelter themselves and their belongings from exposure to the threats posed by their environments. But whereas fences and shelters once seemed essential to our survival\, in an age of over-population and ecological crises\, in which mankind figures as the single biggest threat to the well-being of the ecosphere\, it is the environment which seems in need of being sheltered from us.  Our faith in the fence seems inexhaustible: Where once we shut nature out\, we now shut nature in\, in nature reserves and conservation zones trying to exempt species and habitats from destruction. These exemptions\, however\, are little more than an alibi for ever greater exploitation and eradication of wilderness on the outside. In the face of the fact that we cannot save the planet by trying to save ourselves\, literature and philosophy ask new and provocative questions: Can we acknowledge and approve of our contingencies with and exposures to the environment? Are we ready to face the open\, in which we participate regardless of how and where we live: the water cycle\, the atmosphere and the earth? Are we willing yet to extend the privilege of the sanctity of life beyond humanity to other species? Both literature and philosophy respond to these questions by reflecting on modes of habitation and imaginatively conceiving them anew. From return-to-wilderness narratives and post-apocalyptic scenarios of exposure\, to the outright refusal to tell the human self from its non-human environments in poetry via prosopopeia\, literature abounds with depictions of life outside conventional modes of shelteredness. On the other hand\, literature reflects on the parameters\, conditions and consequences of settlement\, migration and diaspora and their implications for humans and environments.  Already the myth of the expurgation of mankind from Eden\, which Caroline Merchant describes as the ‰ÛÏperhaps [‰Û_] most important mythology humans have developed to make sense of their relationship to the earth\,‰۝ depicts a ‰ÛÏturning away‰۝ of humans from the presence of the immanent perambulating divine. (3) What of the tradition of ‰ÛÏrecovery of Eden‰۝ narratives\, then – are they help or hindrance on our way to reconciled dwelling? Giorgio Agamben in the majority of his works (i.e. Homo Sacer  [1995]\, The Open ‰ÛÒ of Man and Animal [2004]\, Profanations [2007])  discusses the consequences and implications of the sacred as a practice of dividing and setting apart within man ‰ÛÏgood life‰۝ (human\, worthy of protection\, endowed with a human ‰ÛÏface‰۝) and ‰ÛÏbare life‰۝ (exposed and ready to be killed\, animal). This caesura\, according to Agamben\, posits the concentration camp as the foundational paradigm of Western political life and not as its exception. These thoughts seem to us urgently relevant to thinking about shelteredness and openness in literature and environmental thought.  \n10:00 Registration and Welcome \nKeynote: \n10:30-11:30 Axel Goodbody (University of Bath) \nHeimat\, Shelter and the Place of Humans in the World: Jenny Erpenbeck’s Heimsuchung \nPanel 1: \n11: 30 ‰ÛÒ 12:00 Conn Holohann (NUI Galway) \nIn Praise of Error: Cosmopolitan Space in the Films of Claire Denis‰۪ \n12:00-12:30 David Conlon (NUI Maynooth) \nTechnology as environment and refuge in Ricardo Piglia’s The Absent City \n12:30- 13:00 Michael Sauter (Augsburg University) \nSeeking Shelter\, Building Fires: London\, McCarthy\, ‰Û_and LukÌÁcs? \n13:00- 14:00Lunch Break \nKeynote: \n14:00-15:00Tim Wenzell (Virginia Union University) \nGreen Deity: Nature as mind in Robert Graves The White Goddess \nPanel 2: \n15:00- 15: 30Heike Schwarz\, (Augsburg University) \n‰ÛÏIs anyone seeing this?‰۝: Ecopsychopathology\, Ecocalypse or Environmental Madness in American Fiction and Jeff Nicholå«s Take Shelter (2011) \n15:30- 16:00Sabine Lenore MÌ_ller (Leipzig University) \n“The house door left unshut” – Environmental Modernism and the Open in R.

SUMMARY:Finnegans Wake reading group
DESCRIPTION:If you like gossiping\, poetry\, languages\, puns\, puzzles\, jokes\, double entendres or even avant-garde tomes\, you might like Finnegans Wake. Despite its scurrilous critical reputation\, James Joyce’s final workis not as difficult as it would first appear and\,when  read as part of a group\, can be a hugely rewarding experience. It is  our hope to read the text episodically\, playing close attention to the  rhythm and musicality of the piece; we aim to stress the looseness of  the text without resort to lucidity. \nNo prior experience of Joyce is necessary and the meetings will be very informal so everyone is very welcome. \nConsider joining our Facebook group to keep abreast of news\, dates and any strange Joycean ephemera that we find.

Wine served. \nLECTURE ‰ÛÒ THE IRISH IN SCOTLAND : ROBERT TANNAHILL \nAfter releasing THE COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT BURNS (12 vols\, Linn Records 1996-2003) I turned my attention to a sadly neglected artist: Robert Tannahill of Paisley (1774-1810).Tannahill was a weaver\, a song-writer and poet who wrote over 100 songs of a quality comparable to Burns. \nThis illustrated lecture\, drawing musical examples from my COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT TANNAHILL\, concentrates on a unique collection of songs ‰ÛÒ with their Irish melodies and subject matter written in defence of the early 19th-century Irish emigrants to Scotland.A total non-sectarian\, Tannahill\, in his own way\, contributed a great deal to changing perceptions of the downtrodden Irish as they settled into their new country; and\, at the same time\, he left us with a lovely body of Irish song. \nMoreover\, as an early Romantic artist\, he was far ahead of his time.His unique\, urban Paisley songs movingly provide a critical insight into both the despair and the dynamism of early industrialisation. And his use of the comic and the grotesque certainly does look forward to Blake with its mixed message in relation to the working classes: figures both corrupted and enervated by urban life and\, simultaneously\, morally and socially liberated from the constraints of their ‰Û÷betters‰۪. \nThe McPeake family of Northern Ireland based their famous folk song\, ‰Û÷The Wild Mountain Thyme‰۪\, directly upon the Paisley poet‰۪s ‰Û÷The Braes o Balquhidder‰۪; and\, over the past 200 years\, his works have been published in various Irish and Northern Irish editions. \nDr. Fred Freeman (Fellow\, English\, University of Edinburgh) \nDr. Fred Freeman is an internationally acclaimed scholar and researcher on the song traditions of Scotland. He has published over 100 articles\, together with books and comprehensive CD collections\, documenting the rich history of Scotland‰۪s song poets and their work.  \n* \nSometime Fellow in English at University of Edinburgh\, he is a graduate of Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities. He taught Scottish literature at The School of Scottish Studies and in the English Department of Edinburgh; held postdoctoral posts (several times over) at The Advanced Studies Institute\, The School of Scottish Studies\, the English Department\, University of Edinburgh. He held a postdoctoral appointment at St Antony’s College\, University of Oxford for two years in the late ‰Û÷80s\, concentrating on ethnic minority writers in Scotland. \nFreeman is the author of a book on the 18th-century Edinburgh poet\, Robert Fergusson (Edinburgh UP 1984) and a children’s book on the Paisley poet\, Robert Tannahill (2009); and has published over 100 articles on Scottish literature\, folk music and history. He is on the official Live Literature Scotland authors’ list for grants. \nOver the past decade Freeman has drawn upon his extensive musical background\, producing over 42 (internationally acclaimed) CDs – amongst them: “THE COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT BURNS” (13 Cds\, 12 vols\, Linn Records 1996-2003); (for Scottish Borders Region) “BORDERS FIDDLES”\, “BORDERS SANGSTERS”\, “BORDERS BOXES”\, “BORDERS PIPES”; “BORDERS YOUNG PIPERS” (1999-2012); “A’THE BAIRNS O’ ADAM – A TRIBUTE TO HAMISH HENDERSON” (Greentrax 2004); “A’ ADAM’S BAIRNS” National Library of Scotland\, 2008); numerous solo CDs – “YONT THE TAY” (Jim Reid) which won BBC’s ‰Û÷Best Singer of the Year 2005′; “THE COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT TANNAHILL” – Vols I\, II & III (with 2 vols still to come).

SUMMARY:Early Modern Travel: Theory and Practice\, International Conference 27-28th September
DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Travel: Theory and Practice \nIn the early modern period the development of inquiries\, questionnaires\, and directions for travel proliferated in an attempt to make travel a useful and productive activity. This conference explores the widespread effort to provide instruction\, as well as the travel practices that emerged in response to and in tension with these demands in the domains of natural history and cultural and political observation. Travel developed as a scholarly enterprise and was also incorporated into wider debates among humanists and other authorities evaluating religion\, military conflict\, and commercial expansion. The conference breaks down the separation between European and ‰Û÷exotic‰۪ travel (in the Ottoman Empire\, Persia\, Arabia) and challenges conventional periodization by describing traditions from the Renaissance to Enlightenment.  \nParticipants from Ireland\, the UK\, France\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Italy\, Denmark\, and Brazil\, will discuss figures ranging from Hakluyt to Montaigne\, Knolles\, La Loub̬re and Michaelis. \n‰ÛÏTexts\, Contexts\, Culture‰۝ is funded under the Higher Education Authority\, under PRTLI4 http://www.hea.ie \nFriday 27 September \n  \n9.15Registration and Welcome \nSession 1: 16th Century agendas \nChair: Jane Grogan (UCD) \nEdward Collins (UCD/Universidad Pablo de Olavide\, Seville) \n‰Û÷Marriage\, Union\, and the Transfer of Knowledge in the Maritime Enterprises of Spain\, Portugal and England in the Sixteenth Century‰۪ \nLadan Niayesh (Paris 7) \n‰Û÷From Travel Guide to Collection of Exempla: Andrew Borde‰۪s The First Book of the Introduction of Knowledge (1547)‰۪ \n10.45 Coffee and tea break \n11.15Session 2: Networks\, politics\, and instructional strategies \nChair: Daniel Carey (NUI Galway) \nSebastian Sobecki (Groningen) \n‰Û÷Innocent Espionage: Robert Cecil‰۪s Network and John Peyton‰۪s Travels in Central Europe\, 1598-1603‰۪ \nPaola Molino (Austrian National Library) \n‰Û÷The Importance of Being ‰ÛÏInstructed‰۝ in the Late 16th-Century Scholarly World‰۪ \n12.30Lunch \n2.00bus departure for Claregalway \n14.45Session 3: The Arabian Voyage\, 1761-1767 \nChair: Ida Pugliese (NUI Galway/Marie Curie IEF) \nDaniel Carey (NUI Galway)\,  \n‰۪J.D.

SUMMARY:Seeing the World: Travel\, Text\, Image - International conference 27-28 September 2013
DESCRIPTION:Seeing the world: Travel\, text\, image \nAuthors of travel narratives attempting to convey in words their discoveries and observations increasingly turned to images to support their text. In this they were encouraged by publishers and the public\, developing in time a dedicated art industry and new book forms. This conference focuses attention on the various uses of graphic art in topographical and ethnographical writing by travellers from the Early Modern period to the present\, and the relationship between text and image. \nThe topics proposed by the participants\, from Italy\, Switzerland\, America\, France\, Greece and Ireland\, range from the iconography of specific areas\, such as Switzerland\, the Eastern Mediterranean\, the Western Mediterranean\, Ireland\, to the work of particular individuals\, notably Jonathan Fisher\, Luttrell Wynne\, Beranger and Bigari in Ireland and W.H.J. Browne in the Arctic. Among the areas covered are the National Library of Ireland‰۪s resources for research on travel\, the implications of evolving media for both text and image\, including their online presence. Present-day topographical writing and the images it engenders are the focus of a session devoted to Tim Robinson‰۪s Connemara trilogy. \n‰Û÷Texts\, Contexts\, Cultures‰۪ is funded by the Higher Education Authority\, under PRTLI4 (http://www.hea.ie).

SUMMARY:Finnegan's Wake reading group
DESCRIPTION:The NUI\, Galway Finnegans Wake reading group is starting up again this September. \nOur first meeting will be 1-2pm in the Moore Institute Seminar Room\, Thursday 26th September.   If you like gossiping\, poetry\, languages\, puns\, puzzles\, jokes\, double entendres or even avant-garde tomes\, you might like Finnegans Wake. Despite its scurrilous critical reputation\, James Joyce’s final workis not as difficult as it would first appear and\,when read as part of a group\, can be a hugely rewarding experience. It is our hope to read the text episodically\, playing close attention to the rhythm and musicality of the piece; we aim to stress the looseness of the text without resort to lucidity. \nNo prior experience of Joyce is necessary and the meetings will be very informal so everyone is very welcome. \nJoin us on the 26th or consider joining our Facebook group to keep abreast of news\, dates and any strange Joycean ephemera that we find.

SUMMARY:IRC Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The Moore Institute will host an information session on the IRC Research Project Grants Scheme on Wednesday\, September 4 at 1pm in the Moore Institute seminar room (Room 203).

Prof. Patrick Lonergan\, who currently holds a project grant award\, will also be available for advice on the application process.

SUMMARY:Workshop - Teaching Transnational History: Transnational Ireland International Research Network
DESCRIPTION:Workshop – Teaching Transnational History: Transnational Ireland International Research Network\, Moore Institute\, NUI Galway\, 31 August 2013 \nThis workshop is the latest in the ‰Û÷Transnational Ireland’ international research network (http://transnationalireland.com)\, whose aim is to re-articulate the political\, social and cultural history of Ireland within its broader international and global contexts. This workshop will focus on the complex issue of ‘teaching transnational history’. A series of discussion-based sessions in the morning – based on pre-circulated papers – will explore pedagogical approaches to history beyond the traditional framework of the nation-state. The afternoon will focus on the presentation of new research on the ‘transnational Ireland’ theme. \nSpaces for this event are limited. Should you wish to attend\, please contact Kevin O’Sullivan (kevin.k.osullivan@nuigalway.ie) for further details.
