SUMMARY:Glitching the Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Malfunction
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nWhile the word “glitch” is often still used to connote catastrophic failure\, videogamers have come to view glitches opportunistically\, as chances to intervene in game texts in ways unforeseen (and often unforeseeable) by their developers. \nMy presentation draws on a variety of game glitches and the alternate modes of textual navigation they enable to demonstrate how the glitch forces us to rethink even such basic concepts as plot\, character\, temporality\, and point of view\, ultimately showing how the resulting “narrative of malfunction” blends and reshapes digital studies\, narratology\, and queer/disability theory to establish brokenness\, error\, and failure as baseline states within which narrative “function” is at best temporary and often actively to be avoided. All texts are thus potentially glitched\, and much can be learned and accomplished within them by reading for the glitches. \n  \nAndrew Ferguson is a visiting assistant professor of digital studies in the Department of English at the University of Maryland. His work—located at the intersection of media-textual studies\, cultural theory\, and popular culture—may be found in Textual Cultures\, Hypermedia Joyce Studies\, and Science Fiction Studies among others. His ongoing projects include collections of essays on born-digital horror and “bad” art\, a critical biography of the Irish-American science fiction author R.A. Lafferty (soon to appear from the University of Illinois Press)\, and the manuscript on glitches and narrative theory from which this talk is adapted.

SUMMARY:Posthumanist Ecocriticism Postgraduate Summer School
DESCRIPTION:This summer school will investigate methods to communicate complex environmental objects such as climate change\, habitation\, or the human body as a structurally open spaces inhabited by microscopic life forms in competition or symbiosis with non living objects. In addition\, nano processes are being offered as solutions for large-scale geoengineering of the planet for climate mitigation\, such as nano-particles to reduce the Earth’s albedo\, and the use of nano tech in human enhancement discourses. We will engage with the ideological load of popular narratives\, such as right-wing cultures of preparation (i.e. providing a historical perspective of why people build shelters\, bunkers and other provisional escape places)\, religiously motivated discourses of separation or cohabitation with other species (transcorporeality)\, or the effects of hygiene management on forms of habitation. \nFraming environmental objects poses extreme narrative challenges with regard to scale\, for example\, in the case of large objects such as climate change\, its unboundedness\, incalculability\, and unthinkability\, but also\, at microscopic level\, in the case of thinking the human as a the community of other life forms. In both cases actions are required that exceed the scale in which we are used to operate\, at institutional\, infrastructural\, interpersonal and organisational level. \nPart of this ongoing and pressing task is to abstain from imposing worn out labels onto this delicate process of conceiving environmental continuities of texts\, beings and ecosystems\, which might in an underhanded way continue to inscribe traditional divisions and impositions. Instead\, it is calling forth forms of organisation without any precedent. \nThe recent posthumanist turn in ecocriticism\, we believe\, must proceed phenomenologically\, recognizing the constructedness of divisions within the compound continuum of life on earth\, their arbitrariness and the task of this generation as well as future generations to understand the constructedness of these divisions and search for viable alternatives. Constructivisms of all kinds have been and continue to be accompanied by a complementary yearning for authenticity\, the real and the material. \nIn recent years\, various strands of theoretical thinking categorised as ecocritical have challenged both the irrefutability and the frustration mentioned above from new perspectives. Taking their cue from innovative literary attempts to imagine\, depict and conceptualise the human-nature relationship and the place of human beings in a world under threat\, in this summer school we will take issue with the assumed omnipotence of social constructionism. The purpose of this workshop is to ask if there is an alternative to resignation in the face of this perceived inescapability without resorting to a naive insistence on the relevance of ‘the real’. Obviously\, an intellectual climate\, dominated by suspicion of the very idea of nature outside quotation marks is not conducive to a vigorous engagement with the problem. On the other hand\, Timothy Morton in “Ecology without Nature” made a convincing case for why the term “nature” needs to be abolished due to its ideological load as a “respite place” that enables us to tolerate modes of destruction. Acknowledging this\, in this workshop we will explore new ways to talk meaningfully about the gap between language and the world. \nSome of the areas that will be addressed are: \n\nThe world of population and climate crises exceeds the usual operational scales of political action\, at the institutional\, infrastructural\, interpersonal and organisational levels\, from the nano to the ‘hyperobject’ (Timothy Morton). Can we use ecocriticism to face the Open\, regardless of how and where we live?\nWhat are the sources of ideological inspiration for subcultures that are developing in the face of ecological collapse? What are the cultural and legal-political sources of the belief systems of ‘preppers’ (i.e. people making emergency preparations in the face of climate apocalypse)\, or of religiously motivated discourses of separation or cohabitation with other species?\nThe posthuman turn involves ‘rethinking the conceptual frameworks within which we have defined human subjectivity\, agency\, identity\, and self\, acknowledging the permeable boundaries of species in the natural-cultural continuum’ (Oppermann 2016\, 275).\n\n  \nProgramme: Posthumanist Ecocriticism Summerschool 23.-24.

SUMMARY:''The New University\, Accompaniment\, and the Exilic Community''- by Denis O’Hearn
DESCRIPTION:Recent work by Denis O’Hearn and Andrej Grubacic proposes that “exilic spaces” are a hopeful model for progressive change and\, ultimately\, for social revolution. Exilic spaces can be defined as those areas of social and economic life in which people attempt to escape from capitalist relations and processes\, whether territorially or by attempting to build structures and practices that are autonomous of capitalist accumulation and social control. In this talk\, Denis O’Hearn presents a new model for a public university. He discusses how and whether accompaniment\, or community engagement\, can be the basis for building exilic spaces into the university’s curriculum and practices. He presents real examples from universities in the US and elsewhere. \n Denis O’Hearn is a sociologist and community activist who has published widely on the impacts of transnational corporate domination\, particularly in Ireland\, and also on social movements\, prison life\, and exilic communities. He has written numerous articles and books\, including Inside the Celtic Tiger\, The Atlantic Economy\, Bobby Sands: Nothing but An Unfinished Song\, and Living at the Edges of Capitalism: Adventures in Exile and Mutual Aid. He has won numerous awards\, including two Distinguished Book Awards from the American Sociological Association; the Alessandro Tassoni Award\, Modena\, Italy; and the International Award ‘Citta ‘di Cassino Letterature dal Fronte’. He is now Dean of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso

SUMMARY:''Wolfe Tone\, Masculinity\, Friendship\, and Revolutionary Politics in 1790s Ireland''-by Moore Visiting Fellow Ultán Gillen
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the connections between the revolutionary politics of Theobald Wolfe Tone and his friendships\, especially that with Thomas Russell\, his best friend and closest political ally. It also discusses the centrality of ideas of masculinity to Tone’s politics. In doing so\, it seeks to locate Tone and the United Irishmen not just within recent developments in Irish historiography\, but also shifts in cultural and intellectual history in the Atlantic world in the age of revolutions. It argues that Tone’s commitment to his friends was central to the development of his politics before his exile from Ireland in 1795\, but also in his years of exile before and during the 1798 rebellion\, when fear for his friends help Tone radicalise to an extent that has not always been sufficiently appreciated.  Tone emerges from the discussion as politically more militant\, but also more emblematic of the cultural revolutions of the age.

SUMMARY:Sport and Film: Examining the relationship from the United States to Ireland (Dr. Seán Crosson\, Huston School of Film & Digital Media)
DESCRIPTION:This lecture by Dr. Seán Crosson will consider the topic of Sport and Film\, drawing on the research he has undertaken of the subject internationally (evident in his monograph Sport and Film (2013)) and in the Irish context (where he will draw in particular on the work he did towards his recent book Gaelic Games on Film: From silent films to Hollywood hurling\, horror and the emergence of Irish cinema (Cork University Press\, 2019)). In the lecture Dr. Crosson will chart the history of sport cinema and examine the important role the genre has played in the United States in popularising and affirming a key ideology in American life\, the American Dream. In the second part of his talk he will move to the Irish context\,  where Gaelic games have repeatedly provided filmmakers and producers with a resonant motif through which they have represented perceived aspects of Irish identity\, perceived as this representation has been neither straightforward nor unproblematic: in international productions in particular\, Gaelic games have been employed on occasion as a short hand for regressive stereotypes associated with Irish people\, including their alleged propensity for violence. For indigenous producers\, on the other hand\, Gaelic games afforded distinctive Irish cultural practices and as such were featured to promote and affirm the Irish nation\, particularly as an indigenous film culture began to emerge in the aftermath of World War II. \n  \nDr.  Seán Crosson is the Leader of the Sport & Exercise Research Group within the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies and Co-Director of the MA Sports Journalism and Communication programme. His research projects include an examination of the representation of sport in film\, the subject of a conference and several symposia held in the Huston School over the past seven years\, his award-winning monograph\,  Sport and Film (Routledge\, 2013) and his recent book Gaelic Games on Film: From silent films to Hollywood hurling\, horror and the emergence of Irish cinema (Cork University Press\, 2019). He has also uncovered important depictions of sport in film\, in particular of Gaelic games\, and his research has been featured in national and international media\, including El País\, The Sunday Times\, The Sunday Business Post\, The Irish Examiner\, The Irish Times\, the TV channels ITV\, and several items on TG4\, RTÉ News and Off the Ball. To date he has contributed to ten documentary projects\, including a 6-part documentary series on newsreels in Ireland to be broadcast by TG4 in 2018. His research in this area has also resulted in contributions to several major collections\, including the award-winning volume The Gaelic Athletic Association 1884-2009 and Screening Irish-America: Representing Irish-America in Film and Television. In addition\, he has co-edited a special number of the peer-reviewed journal Media History on Sport and the Media in Ireland (Vol. 17\, Issue 2). He also did the research towards\, and provided the liner notes for GAA Gold – All Ireland Hurling Championship Finals 1948-1959 (Irish Film Institute\, 2010) and GAA Football Gold: All-Ireland Final Highlights: 1947-1959 (Irish Film Institute\, 2011)\, DVDs which made available rarely seen footage of hurling and football all-Ireland finals in these years. \n

SUMMARY:Sport and Identity: from local pastimes to global games
DESCRIPTION:By Professor Philip Dine\, Head of French\, NUI Galway. \nHow does sport shape society? From local origins in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, modern sports were first nationally and then internationally regulated\, enabling novel personal interactions and unprecedented cultural exchanges. This sporting internationalization was to culminate in such global mega-events as the Olympic Games and the football World Cup. These most intensely mediatized spectacles today attract television audiences in their billions\, as the apex of modern sport’s complex network of tangible and intangible exchanges. Mobilizing enormous resources based on strategic alliances between national sports industries\, international governing bodies and transnational media corporations\, they are amongst the modern world’s most powerful producers of locally and globally resonant meanings. In terms of its availability\, sport has now achieved near-saturation coverage\, certainly within the developed world. Yet\, paradoxically\, sport’s traditional emphasis on the local has\, if anything\, been reinforced by the challenges of globalization. This seminar seeks to explore sport’s social significance by offering a case study of France\, focusing on the contribution of organized games to the historical construction and continuing reconfiguration of a variety of local\, national and\, increasingly\, transnational identities. \n  \nPhilip Dine is Personal Professor and Head of French at the National University of Ireland Galway. He has published widely on representations of the French empire\, particularly decolonization\, in fields ranging from children’s literature to professional sport. Further projects have targeted sport and identity-construction in France and the Francophone world. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Lecture: A Case Study in Sports Journalism- Antoine Blondin\, L’Équipe and the Tour de France
DESCRIPTION:  \nA product of the early twentieth century’s ‘sport-media-industry complex’\, cycling’s Tour de France has engendered novel forms and styles of newspaper coverage and has attracted the interest of a variety of writers.A prominent right-wing novelist in the early fifties\, Antoine Blondin (1921-1991) was a guest follower for French sports daily L’Équipe on four stages of the 1954 Tour. The highly original and stylishly composed “chroniques” he delivered warranted an invitation to the following year’s race as the featured “Writer on the Tour”\, a literature-infused column he would make his own until 1982. This unique legacy\, nostalgically and at times frivolously celebrating the myth of a largely invented tradition\, has been captured in a posthumously compiled corpus of all 524 chronicles published in 2001\, representing something of a memory site in its own right. Situated in the context of broader discussions relating to journalism\, sport and society\, this seminar will explore how one of the Tour de France’s most significant followers reads and interpret its story while drawing\, in an inimitable tone and style\, on the resources of the French literary canon. \nRuadhán Cooke teaches French in the School of Languages\, Literatures and Cultures. Research interests include the overlaps between sport and literature\, sports journalism and the cultural impact of sport. \n

SUMMARY:European Cultural Identity Workshop at NUI Galway
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \nNUI Galway will host an Irish Research Council Funded Creative Connections Initiative\, examining questions of European identity through a focus on the themes of sport and digital media. \nThe workshop will draw on a range of disciplines in the Arts\, Humanities\, Social Sciences (AHSS) and STEM areas from NUI Galway\, Trinity College Dublin\, and Queen’s University\, Belfast to examine the topic of European cultural identity. Additional strands in the network will examine the themes of schooling and curriculum design\, and landscape as key components of Europe’s shared cultural heritage and identity. These strands will be used as a prism through which participants will explore European cultural identity\, its construction and current crisis. \nNUI Galway partner in this initiative\, Dr Seán Crosson of the University’s Huston School of Film & Digital Media and leader of the Sport and Exercise Research Group\, said: “Sport annually engages millions of diverse people across Europe\, both as participants and spectators. Participants engage in sport in a wide variety of competitive\, educational\, recreational and\, increasingly\, health-related contexts\, while spectators attend sporting events or follow them via the mass media. Widespread engagement with sport\, accelerated by considerable technological and digital media advancements\, means that sporting practices and representations contribute significantly to the social construction of cultural identities. In its various forms\, sport offers a unique opportunity to encourage an appreciation among citizens of their shared cultural heritage and common values at the heart of European identity.” \nWorkshop two will facilitate an interdisciplinary examination of the interconnection of sport and digital media and their roles in constructions of European cultural identity\, bringing together researchers in film\, digital media\, sport and leisure studies\, French studies\, psychology\, media and communication studies\, and medicine. \nThe keynote speaker at the workshop will be Professor Alan Tomlinson\, Professor in Leisure Studies\, University of Brighton. A leading contributor in the area of sport and media studies\, Professor Tomlinson’s work includes Sport and the Transformation of Modern Europe: States\, media and markets 1950-2010 and The Sport Studies Reader. Professor Tomlinson’s lecture ‘Sport\, Digital Media and European Cultural Identities’ will explore where and how sport contributes to or problematises conceptions of European cultural identity\, with examples from the mass media and new/digital media forms. \nA full schedule for the day long workshop is available at https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/research/European-Culture-project.php7 \n

DESCRIPTION:  \n \n**postponed until further notice ** \nBy Thomas Strong \nA remarkable shift has occured in how we talk about witchcraft and sorcery.  Whereas these topics have long occasioned critical reflection on belief and reason\, or cultural difference and human universals\, the new discourse describes witchcraft as a “human rights” problem and focuses on harms associated with it.  This shift reflects the influence of a number of actors in both national and international settings\, actors working with institutions of global governance to pressure national states to develop coherent legislative and social responses to witchcraft violence.  In September 2017\, the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner convened its first ever expert workshop on witchcraft and human rights in Geneva.  A year later\, the UN curated an exhibit of photographs about witchcraft directly outside the The Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Room in the Palais des Nations where the expert panel had convened.  This paper presents an interpretation of this small exhibit and its imagery\, highlighting the ways in which its representational sensibility symbolises the shift I have described:  from ‘belief’ to ‘harm’ as the dominant topos shaping the intelligibility of witchcraft as a social phenomenon. When articulated in the context of human rights discourse\, “witchcraft” requires not so much understanding\, as witnessing.  Thus\, I examine the ways in which the photographs not only construct ‘victims\,’ but also ‘witnesses.’  They depict bodies that ‘testify’ to their own suffering and survival\, imagery which provokes a sense of moral responsibility in those who see it.  Drawing on fieldwork in highland Papua New Guinea\, I also reflect on what the photographs can’t show:  witchcraft itself.  I describe some of the moral and epistemological challenges of representing and responding to witchcraft phenomena\, returning to the aporia contained within this question:  Do witches have human rights? \nThomas Strong – Department of Anthropology – Maynooth University \nhttps://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/people/thomas-strong
