Much has been said about globalization and its effect on aspects of quotidian life as well as artistic production and consumption. My paper will probe to what extent there has genuinely been an impact on our viewing and responding habits. It will also explore the question of whether we have moved beyond cultural stereotypes and into an era of rigorousness and agility\, reaping the benefits of mobility\, the wealth of information and educational possibilities available\, but also of the artistic border-crossing that characterizes our time. The paper will interrogate to what extent the internationalized art product has served to liberate us in a certain way\, or whether we are essentially reproducing the old familiar national and classed perspectives. Can it be argued that we are experiencing a new\, hyper-aware state\, or are we forever bound to local frames of reference and what are their respective benefits and pitfalls? Ultimately\, the talk will seek to problematize exchange and reception\, addressing the question of how issues of perception are especially urgent today. \nSuggested Reading: \nBourdieu\, Pierre. ‰Û÷The Sense of Distinction‰۪.

First\, the plot is built around an incident (mistaking a country gentleman‰۪s home for an inn) that allegedly happened to Goldsmith himself while he was still living in Ireland. Second\, in the play\, Goldsmith (like later\, London-based\, Irish writers) attempts to portray hypocrisy as a peculiarly English vice. While these ‰Û÷Irish‰۪ aspects of the work are certainly important\, there are other\, more explicit\, references to Goldsmith‰۪s native country in the play. I will carefully analyse them in this paper\, since they are routinely ignored by critics. \nAmong these Irish references are the moment when Goldsmith has a character allude directly to Farquhar‰۪s The Beaux Stratagem and when his depiction of the character of Hardcastle betrays the influence of Sterne‰۪s Tristram Shandy. The Irish song\, ‰ÛÏAlly Croker‰۝\, is used in a way that links Ireland to the Orient\, a connection that Goldsmith and other Irish writers have frequently made over the past two and a half centuries. The Hardcastles have a cook maid named after the Irish St. Bridget\, thereby placing a (possibly) Irish servant in an English home. Finally\, the Countess of Sligo is one of the ladies name-checked by Marlow during his courtship of Kate\, one of a series of reflections on the Anglo-Irish in the work. \nIn this paper\, I will also consider the ‰Û÷Irish‰۪ elements that have been either accentuated or imposed upon the play in recent Dublin productions (The Gate Theatre‰۪s in 1995\, The Abbey‰۪s in 2003\, and Smock Alley‰۪s in 2012). \nKaren Fricker\, ‰ÛÏTerry Wogan\, Melancholy Britain\, and the Eurovision Song Contest‰۝ \n‰Û÷Europe’s favourite TV show‰۪ (as its producers brand the Eurovision Song Contest [ESC]) has much to tell us about the relationship between nation\, identity\, feelings\, and politics in the expanded\, 21st century Europe. Founded in 1956 to test the newly-created capacity to share live television signals between countries\, the ESC has become a significant symbolic contact zone between European cultures: an arena for European identification in which both national solidarity and participation in a European identity are confirmed\, and a site where cultural struggles over the meanings\, frontiers\, and limits of Europe are enacted. This presentation focuses specifically on the United Kingdom‰۪s fraught relationship to the ESC\, arguing that this relationship reflects deep-seated British anxieties about the place of the UK in the context of the evolving Europe\, but is also symptomatic of a particular strand of postcolonial melancholia (after Paul Gilroy) and a nostalgic mode of engagement with the British colonial past and imperial supremacy. I focus in particular on Sir Terry Wogan‰۪s increasingly conservative ESC commentary for the BBC over several decades\, showing how it mediated and constructed a particular vision of Europe and the UK‰۪s place in relation to it. If we shift our perspective from the UK‰۪s nostalgia and look at its participation in the ESC in its own right\, however\, we can see that its recent Eurovision entries offer a portrait of a lively and diverse society attempting to adapt to a cultural showcase whose codes and conventions are rapidly changing. \nErin Hurley\, ‰ÛÏSubjects and Objects: The Personal is Political‰۝ \nIt is a commonplace\, and a truism\, to say that ‰ÛÏQuebecois theatre‰۝ began in the late 1960s with the politically engaged\, nationalist dramaturgy of Michel Tremblay. Contemporary Quebecois theatre\, however\, seems to be marked by a turn away from the political or collective\, an orientation that marked its birth and efflorescence. Of late\, critics and scholars have remarked a clear turn toward the personal or individual. Louis Patrick Leroux and Herv̩ Guay itemize the ‰ÛÏsubjective affirmations‰۝ of contemporary Quebecois theatre both within the dramatic universes presented by playwrights and in institutional discourses of theatre culture. They suggest that such subjective affirmations ‰ÛÒ that is\, critical affirmations of the theatre‰۪s own success\, performative affirmations of the particularized subject (especially in solo performance)\, and institutional and dramatic affirmations of playwrights‰۪ personal aesthetics and singular imaginaries ‰ÛÒ have multiplied in recent years. \nAnd yet\, we might remark another\, seemingly contrary turn in contemporary performance: a turn toward the object\, the subject‰۪s presumed ‰ÛÏother‰۝. Consider\, for instance\, the following protagonists from productions in recent Montreal theatre seasons as featured in venues ranging from a children‰۪s theatre to an experimental house to a puppet festival to a fine arts museum: A child‰۪s white dress. A drawing of a birthmark on a stick. Three life-sized automata. Animated mannequins. Dancing kitchen utensils. A wax figure. Two school-desks. [1] \nThe shows from which these characters are drawn\, and others like them that put the object in the position of the dramatic and theatrical subject\, interest me for two reasons. First\, by putting an object in the position of the ‰ÛÏspeaking subject‰۝ of a ‰ÛÏcharacter‰۝\, they evince a complex relation to the subjective affirmations and affirmations of subjectivity that are trending contemporary Quebecois theatre. Second\, they allow us to read an occulted history of Quebecois theatre in which women‰۪s performance is featured and assumptions around the political value of autonomy versus heteronomy are undone. How might we reconcile the incursion of objects ‰ÛÒ these things without speech\, without voice\, without subjectivity proper ‰ÛÓ into a theatre culture where ‰ÛÏdramaturgies of subjectivity‰۝ seem in favour? What might these objets d̩sincarn̩s tell us about artistic engagement\, the shifting Quebecois collective\, and it theatre history? \nThree recent solo performances by women featuring performing objects will feed my analysis: Joseph-la-tache [Joseph-the-Birthmark] by Catherine Vidal (2010)\, La robe blanche [The White Dress] by Pol Pelletier (2012)\, and Le Salon Automate[The Salon Automaton] by Nathalie Claude (2008). Through these pieces\, I explore the discourse of the object on the subject of the Subject. How are on-stage subject-object (that is\, self-other) relations figured in contemporary Quebec theatre? What might these relations intimate about stage-audience and art-society relations? And what are their engagements with the world around the subject\, beyond the theatre? \nPatrick Lonergan\, ‰ÛÏFaust and the Credit Crunch‰۝ \nA vareity of cultural responses to the global credit crunch (2008-) are already evident\, from novels about banking (such as John Lanchester‰۪s Capital) to revivals of plays that explore issues of wealth (such as a recent NT production of Timon of Athens). This paper explores how one of the defining charateristics of cultural responses to the credit crunch has been a significant increase in new performances that draw on the Faust motif\, which is often directly taken from work by Goethe\, Marlowe\, Mann\, Bulgakov and others. This paper explores the significance of this motif for contemporary performance. I briefly explore new work by dramatists such as Conor McPherson\, Marina Carr\, Mark O‰۪Rowe David Mamet and David Greig\, before analyzing in some detail the impact of the Faust motif on contemporary American television\, particularly in Mad Men\, Damagesand Breaking Bad. The aim of the paper is to consider those works as responses to our changing understanding of issues such as indebtedness\, austerity\, personal value and ‰ÛÒ in particular ‰ÛÒ the nation. \nSuggested Reading/Viewing: \nConor McPherson\, The Seafarer\, David Greig\, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart. \nDamages Season 1\, episodes 1-3; Mad Men season 1; Breaking Bad (all seasons). \nCharlotte McIvor \,‰ÛÏIreland\, China\, Belgium\, Finland: Brokentalkers and the Transnational Connectivities of Post-Celtic Tiger Performance‰۝ \nThis talk queries Dublin-based theatre company Brokentalkers‰۪ focus on the role of transnational networks as the future of innovation in the Irish arts through an analysis of their works\, In Real Time (2008) and Track (2006). In Real Time and Track present two overlapping stories of the role of the transnational in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland. In Real Time animates European networks via an act of artistic collaboration\, while Track stages an encounter with Dublin that brings participants on an exploration of the City Centre through the perspective of the Chinese community\, both long-term residents and recent arrivals\, living in Ireland. In Real Time literally enacts an inter-EU network physically manifested through actors‰۪ live and virtual bodies in theatrical time and space. Conversely\, Track challenges discourses of Irish nationalism and forces recognition of transnational networks of migrants in Ireland that reach outside the space of the nation and the EU. \nAoife Monks\, ‰ÛÏVirtuosity\, Mobility and Homesickness in Performance‰۝ \nIt was in the 18th Century that the virtuoso emerged as a category of performance (rather than a connoisseur and collector of fine art as in previous centuries). This was the moment in which virtuosity came to embody superhuman performance\, emerging in a performer capable of apparently magical (if not demonic) transcendence of the material conditions of the stage. This paper investigates the relationship between the birth of the virtuoso and the emergence of the emotional category of nostalgia ‰ÛÒ homesickness ‰ÛÒ and suggests that they might both be viewed as symptoms of the disorienting affects of industrial modernity. Furthermore\, I will ask whether virtuosity (as a category of performance\, and later a quality ascribed to particular forms of work) and nostalgia might grow out of\, and enable\, global mobility. It may be no coincidence then\, that the virtuosic performers that I will draw on in this paper ‰ÛÒ Dion Boucicault and Dan Bryant in the 19th Century and Michael Flatley and Jean Butler in the 20th Century ‰ÛÒ have all traded in nostalgia\, wedding performances that inspire terror and awe with the longing for ‰Û÷home‰۪. I will examine how the material conditions of labour in these two periods produce forms of virtuosity and nostalgia in performance. \nSuggested reading: \nGabriele Brandstetter\, ‰Û÷The Virtuoso’s Stage: A Theatrical Topos‰۪\, Theatre Research International\, Volume 32: Issue 02 (July 2007)\, pp 178-195. \nPaulo Virno\, A Grammar of the Multitude: For an Analysis of Contemporary Forms of Life\, Trans. by Isabella Bertoletti\, James Cascaito\, Andrea Casson (New York: SEMIOTEXT(E)\, 2004)\, particularly Chapter Four: ‰ÛÏLabor\, Action\, Intellect : Day Two‰۝ [accessible at: http://www.generation-online.org/c/fcmultitude3.htm]. \nSvetlana Boym\, The Future of Nostalgia (New York: Basic Books\, 2001). \nShaun Richards\, ‰ÛωÛ÷Were You Off East\, Young Fellow ‰Û_?‰۪: The International Playboy of the Western World‰۝ \nGeorge Ritzer‰۪s concepts of ‰Û÷something‰۪ (indigenously conceived) and ‰Û÷nothing‰۪ (centrally conceived) appears to duplicate simple ‰Û÷positive/negative‰۪ binaries of the local and the global. However\, he adds the significant qualification that even the most local product is touched by the global\, so making it ‰Û÷glocal‰۪. This paper will address the ‰Û÷glocal‰۪ aspect of theatre through productions of Playboy of the Western World from the Abbey production in 1907 and its US tour in 1911\, to the work of Druid Theatre\, Galway\, Pan Pan Theatre‰۪s production in Beijing\, the Roddy Doyle and Bisi Adigun adaptation\, and Desperate Optimists‰۪ play-boy. \nShannon Steen\, ‰ÛÏPacific Neoliberalism: Foxconn\, Mike Daisey\, and the Performative Imperative‰۝ \nThis presentation examines how the inter-embeddedness of Foxconn‰۪s labor structures\, Mike Daisey‰۪s theatrical monologue The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs\, and Apple Corporation‰۪s attempt to shape advanced capitalism with a human face instantiates what we might term Pacific Neoliberalism ‰ÛÒ a set of political imperatives predicated on unique forms of economic and cultural flows within and across the Pacific Basin. I use this trio of objects to explore how neoliberalism in general is itself a performative project\, and how its Pacific Basin variant instantiates particular ideologies of creativity and labor distinctive from those of its Atlantic counterpart. \nSuggested Readings: \nWendy Brown\, ‰ÛÏNeoliberalism and the End of Liberal Democracy.‰۝ Theory & Event\, 7:1. \nMike Daisey\, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.

Nielsen and Patricia Ybarra (eds). Neoliberalism and Global Theatres: Performance Permutations. London: Palgrave Macmillan\, 2012 (see especially essays by Margaret Werry\, Eng-Beng Lim\, and Patricia Ybarra). \nBrian Singleton\, ‰ÛÏThe Routes to Memory: Site-Specific Performance in Ireland and Global/Social Capital‰۝ \nCelebrated contemporary site-specific performance\, most notably in the work of the UK‰۪s Punchdrunk\, has been branded by Michael McKinnie as ‰Û÷monopolistic‰۪ as it trades on the theatrical efficacy of spatial disuse. Touring their work most recently to New York that monopolism has further begun to trade their theatrical efficacy/spatial disuse paradigm as global capital. Contextualising their work historically we place Punchdrunk among celebrated European companies such as Brith Gof of Wales\, Dogtroep of The Netherlands and La Fura dels Baus of Catalunya\, all of whom engaged similar global performance routes. But what of Irish site-specific performance? Certainly festivalised productions such as Playgroup‰۪s Berlin Love Tour (2010)\, Junk Ensemble‰۪s Bird with Boy (2011) and Wilfredd‰۪s Farm (2012) operate within similar paradigms though arguably with less global potential. Anu Productions Monto trilogy (2010-12)\, however\, resists the efficacy/disuse paradigm. The company‰۪s site-specificity lies in their social capital of having emerged from and engaged with the lives and histories of an inner-city Dublin community‰۪s spaces and places in very material ways. Rooted in the materiality of their social history\, Anu Productions‰۪ performances also address the issue of site-specific performance as speaking to but also resistant to the globalization of Irish theatre. \nClare Wallace\, ‰ÛÏPerforming\, processing and resisting‰ÛÓthe nation and globalization in the work of David Greig‰۝ \nMy proposed presentation derives from research I have been doing on the work of Scottish playwright David Greig. Since the 1990s Greig has produced an extensive body of work both as a writer and in collaboration with the Suspect Culture theatre company which he co-founded. As part of a new generation of Scottish writers whose work emerged at the end of the twentieth century\, Greig has actively participated in the ongoing re-imagining of Scotland in the wake of devolution. However\, critics at times have seemed slightly disgruntled at the apparent lack of familiar Scottish co-ordinates in some of his work. Greig is not alone in his ambivalence about signposting national specificity in his writing and theatre making. Nadine Holdsworth (2008) for instance has noted how relationships between place and identity are prominent features of Scottish playwriting more generally and contends that ‰Û÷there is a marked trend amongst many contemporary Scottish playwrights and theatre-makers to theatricalize multifarious sites\, geological formations and landscapes as a way of articulating the diversity of Scotland‰۪ (126). Yet\, what makes Greig‰۪s work a fascinating field of investigation is the way this ambivalence about national specificity is coupled with an ongoing attempt to address a wider set of economic and cultural conditions catalysed by globalization and broach forms of transnational identity within the amorphous context of the contemporary. ‰Û÷Theatre doesn‰۪t change the world‰۪ Greig has claimed\, but ‰Û÷if the battlefield is the imagination\, then the theatre is a very appropriate weapon in the armoury of resistance‰۪ because it cannot be ‰Û÷globally commodified\,‰۪ since it is founded on possibility\, contingency\, changeability and is ‰Û÷accessible to everybody.‰۪ With reference to selected plays and interviews\, this presentation would chart how Greig‰۪s ideas about how theatre can or should engage with questions of nation and globalization have evolved since he began writing and would attempt to position this work in relation to wider debates about theatre and globalization. \n************************************************************ \nDr Patrick Lonergan \nProgramme Director\, MA in Drama and Theatre Studies; BA in Drama\, Theatre and Performance; BA Connect with Performing Arts Studies \nEnglish\, School of Humanities \nNational University of Ireland\, Galway \nIreland \npatrick.lonergan@nuigalway.ie \nhttp://www.nuigalway.ie/english/patrick_lonergan.html \n@NUIGDrama \nPhone +353 91 49 2631 URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/performance-nation-and-globalization-summer-school-funded-by-the-irish-research-council-national-university-of-ireland-galway-17-18-july-2013/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20130628T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20130628T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234838 CREATED:20160824T134718Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134718Z UID:2329-1372377600-1372377600@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Postgraduate Hispanic Studies Conference 2013\, June 28th and 29th DESCRIPTION:The Postgraduate Hispanic Studies Conference of Ireland and the UK 2013 will take place in the Moore Institute on the 28th and 29th of June.

Fellow in English at the University of Edinburgh - 'A fiddler and a poet' : Songs of Robert Burns DESCRIPTION:‰Û÷I am a fiddler and a poet’ : Robert Burns as a song-writer \nThis illustrated talk is designed to introduce a wholly unknown Robert Burns to the general public. For over 200 years Burns has been misrepresented as Scotland’s national ‰Û÷poet’\, yet he was primarily a song-writer\, composing upwards of 400 songs. \nMost of the songs have been lying in abeyance since 1796 though they are of a quality which should easily have established Burns as one of the greatest song-writers of the 18th-century. The presentation considers why this did not happen as it explores the activities of George Thomson\, Burns’s second editor\, in commissioning Viennese/German composers – Pleyel\, Kozeluch\, van Weber\, Hummel\, Haydn\, Beethoven\, etc. – to recast Burns’s folk composition into an alien classical mould which put paid to it\, almost irrevocably. Much of the approach considers Burns’s background as a fiddler and folk musician\, quite generally; his innovative use of folk dance/instrumental forms (strathspeys\, reels\, jigs\, slip jigs\, hornpipes); his curious method of composition – always from the tune to the words; his seminal theory of ‰Û÷ballad simplicity’ which relates to language\, form\, rhythm\, tonality and more. \nThe lecture is both informative and entertaining\, with numerous musical examples played throughout the presentation – drawn from Freeman’s THE COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT BURNS (12 vols\, Linn Records 1996-2003). \nBiography of Dr Fred Freeman \nSometime Fellow in English at University of Edinburgh\, I am a graduate of Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities (Ph.D. Edinburgh). I have 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. I had 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. \nI am author of a book on the 18th-century Edinburgh poet\, Robert Fergusson (EUP 1984) and a children’s book on the Paisley poet\, Robert Tannahill (2009); have published over 100 articles on Scottish literature\, folk music and history. I am on the official Live Literature Scotland authors’ list for grants. \n Over the past decade I have drawn upon my 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). \nfwfreeman@talk21.com URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/dr-fred-freeman-hon-fellow-in-english-at-the-university-of-edinburgh-a-fiddler-and-a-poet-songs-of-robert-burns/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20130606T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20130606T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234838 CREATED:20160824T134734Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134734Z UID:2553-1370534400-1370534400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Dr. Fred Freeman\, Hon. Fellow in English at the University of Edinburgh- The Irish In Scotland : Robert Tannahill DESCRIPTION:LECTURE – 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 – 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\, a short biography \nSometime Fellow in English at University of Edinburgh\, I am a graduate of Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities (Ph.D. Edinburgh).

The original bronze items including parts of a horn\, chain\, sword\, axes\, rings and disc pin were recovered from a bog at Boolybrien\, Co. Clare in 1930. We will include our interpretation of the items as parts of an outfit worn by a musician in the bronze-age. The presentation will discuss the links between spoken and musical performance and occasion\, through the examination of the decorative aspects of the hoard. This event will also include detailed images of the items and practical demonstration using accurate reproductions and tunes composed for and played on bronze-age horns. \nThis event is part of The Galway Early Music Festival\, May 9-12: “Word Play: Which came first\, words or music”. A fascinating programme of medieval\, renaissance and baroque music. For programme and ticket booking: www.galwayearlymusic.com.

May we expect the communications sector to reprise its earlier role in renewing growth and profitability? \n2.30 on Tuesday 7th May\, Main Room Huston School. \nRosa Luxemburg’s Internet? \nBoth the state and capital have been crucial for the evolving political economy of the Internet. Drawing on the thought of the Polish Marxist Rosa Luxemburg\, We should inquire as to how states are supporting commodification projects built around the Internet; how they are contending with one another in this process; and how communication processes are related to the historical reconstitution of the global working class. \nProfessor Dan Schiller is a historian of information and communications at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
