In recent years\, scholars have increasingly recognized the limitations of the nation-state as a framework of analyses and as a result transnational and global approaches have moved to the top of research agendas across many countries. At the same time\, explorations in this area have been largely overlooked in Irish universities. This conference will debate the merits of transnational vistas for understanding the important themes of diaspora\, nationalism\, political violence\, and human rights in the Irish past and present\, and will compare how transnational approaches move beyond or differ from established fields such as the Atlantic world\, imperial studies\, world history\, comparative studies\, and so on. The conference papers cover a broad geographical scope and stretch across a long chronology\, from late-medieval to contemporary history. Guest speakers will include\, among others\, Kevin Kenny (Boston College)\, Kiran Patel (Maastricht)\, Timothy Meagher (CUA\, Washington)\, Carl Levy (Goldsmiths\, London) and Irene Bueno (Leiden). \nBeyond the Island: Transnational Approaches to History \nAn int e r d i s c i p l ina r y c on f e r en c e 20- 2 1 Ap r i l 2 0 1 2 \nC o n t a c t : n i a l l . w h e l e h a n @ n u i g alwa y . i e \nDAY ONE FRIDAY 20 APRIL \n9.30 Welcome \n9.45-10.00 Opening Remarks \n10.00-11.00 ‰Û÷Diaspora: An Introduction‰۪ Kevin Kenny (History\, Boston College) \n11.00-11.30 COFFEE \n11.30-13.00 Panel 1 Challenging transnational chronologies \n‰Û÷Shaping ideas about the Eastern lands: the Avignon Papacy in transnational perspective‰۪ \nIrene Bueno (History\, Leiden University) \n‰Û÷Massacres and Moderation in the Atlantic World‰۪ \nEamon Darcy (History\, Trinity College Dublin) \n‰Û÷State Power and the Inculcation of Religious change: the cases of Stuart Ireland and Habsburg Hungary considered‰۪ \nTadhg O hAnnrachain (History\, University College Dublin) \n13.00-14.00 LUNCH \n14.00-16.15 Panel 2 Transnational communities: diasporas from above and below \n‰Û÷Irish America without Ireland?

In other words the scarce sensitivity towards the needs and rights of contemporary immigrants and refugees to Italy\, and the scarce appreciation for their contributions to Italian society and economy\, would relate to Italians’ inability or unwillingness to remember that they had been migrants themselves. This interpretation mirrors a similar understanding of Italian supposed amnesia about its colonial past. Against this prevailing interpretation of the relationship between emigration and immigration in Italy\, this paper will argue that memories of Italian emigration have not been forgotten and that Italian hostility towards immigrants is to be related to a much more complex attempt by Italians to cope with manifestations of otherness\, both in Italy and abroad. Employing the psychoanalytical frame of the uncanny -drawing inspiration from the Freudian suggestions about the unheimliche\, and later interpretations by philosophers such as Martin Heidegger\, Jacques Lacan\, Julia Kristeva and Slavoj ÌÉå_iÌÉå_ek- I will argue that at least since Italian unification there has been a consistent and peculiar Italian way of reacting to the void between the imaginary unity of the nation and its actual fragmentation (due to both its geopolitical history and to mass migration). My argument is that otherness and fragmentation are constituent elements of any Italian identity\, and that instead of being enjoyed\, celebrated and nurtured they have been too often repressed. As a result of this repression\, new and recurring manifestations of difference are threatening for Italians not simply because they challenge the (imaginary) unity of their nation and their local community\, but above all because they mirror the alterity\, the otherness that already exists within the nation (and within the community\, the family and the individual). It is here that the concept of the uncanny becomes particularly pertinent\, expressing the emotional reaction in front of something or someone that is stranger and other and yet at the same time familiar\, precisely because of his/her otherness. \nFrancesco Ricatti is Cassamarca Senior Lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast\, Queensland\, Australia. He coordinates the Italian language program and teaches migration history. He is the author of Embodying Migrants: Italians in Postwar Australia (Bern\, Peter Lang\, 2011). He has published various book chapters on migration and on football\, as well as articles in academic journals\, including Australian Journal of Politics and History\, History Australia\, Annali d’Italianistica and (forthcoming in 2012) Women’s History Review and Modern Italy. He is the co-editor with Penny Morris and Mark Seymour of a recently published volume on Politica ed emozioni nella storia d’Italia dal 1848 a oggi (Rome\, Viella\, 2012)\, and a forthcoming special issue of the journal Modern Italy on Emotions in Italy.

DESCRIPTION:Description of Workshop \nThe main aim of the workshop is to examine questions of art\, archives and public memories as represented and relevant in west of Ireland contexts. Participants will include academics\, students\, artists\, local researchers and producers of radio and film. Workshop participants will work with existing materials in relation to women\, gender and the west of Ireland\, such as photographs\, diaries\, letters\, newspaper reports\, private papers and film. Through further collaborative effort\, the workshop aims to generate new interpretations and reflections and will present new ideas through the media of radio\, exhibition\, illustrated texts and film documentary. It will demonstrate how to approach archival resources and historical evidence in a way that is creative\, productive and public. A combination of the critical and the creative will reconfigure the contexts in which public memories and identities are shaped. The approach\, therefore\, will strengthen the field of gender-related research and will augment the visibility of the West of Ireland as a creative research location.

Professor Jane Taylor DESCRIPTION:The paper will consider the making of a show commissioned by Renaissance scholar\, Stephen Greenblatt. Greenblatt commissioned some twelve playwrights worldwide to each make a version of the so-called “missing” Shakespeare play\, Cardenio. Such a project surely was imagined by Greenblatt as primarily a text-based work. My paper will discuss the making of a puppet play\, After Cardenio\, that necessarily destabilized the relation between text and performance\, in a celebration of the player. The theoretical questions addressed will concern the idea of the dispersed body\, and the body/soul (object/subject) dialectic in puppetry performance. The show I have written and directed “After Cardenio\,” deals expressly with Locke’s propositions about identity and number\, as staged in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Locke was himself engaged\, via a community of medical research\, in a marvellous event\, the apparent resurrection of a young woman whose body had been given over for an anatomy in Oxford in 1650\, after she had been hanged for an alleged infanticide. Earlier this year I presented a paper at a puppetry conference in Connecticut\, explored the Lockean propositions about identity\, as a theoretical and philosophical problem; however this paper uses the making of my play to locate that debate within event\, the body\, medical history and performance. It also engages with questions around the infant\, the woman’s body and reproduction within theological and legal disputes in the early modern era. \nseminar \nFor the past several decades\, Jane Taylor has been involved in cultural critique and public scholarship as well as creative writing. In 1987 she and David Bunn co-edited From South Africa (TriQuarterly Magazine; and U of Chicago Press). In 1996 she designed and curated “FAULT LINES”\, a series of cultural responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that followed the end of Apartheid in South Africa. As part of this program she wrote the playtext\, Ubu and the Truth Commission\, for South African artist/director William Kentridge and the Handspring Puppet Company. In 2000 she wrote the libretto for a new opera for Kentridge\, The Confessions of Zeno\, a work that was performed at the Lincoln Centre in New York as well as at the MCA in Chicago. She has two published novels\, Of Wild Dogs (which won the prestigious Olive Schreiner Prize for new fiction in South Africa) and The Transplant Men (a work of fiction that is grounded in the first heart transplant\, an event that took place in South Africa. In 2009 she edited Handspring Puppet Company\, a substantial study of the celebrated performance company from South Africa. She is currently of the Board of Advisors for Dokumenta 2012 URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/after-after-cardenio-professor-jane-taylor/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120227T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120227T190000 DTSTAMP:20260407T005656 CREATED:20160824T134737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134737Z UID:2605-1330369200-1330369200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Ruaidhri O Flaithbheartaigh through his letters - Professor Richard Sharpe DESCRIPTION:ÌøåÈåÀC A M P S Prof. Richard Sharpe University of Oxford Ruaidhri O Flaithbheartaigh through his letters A Learned Gaelic Chief & his Friend from Oxford in 1700 \nMON 27th FEBRUARY\, 7 pm Fottrell Theatre\, NUI Galway Arts Millenium Building URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/ruaidhri-o-flaithbheartaigh-through-his-letters-professor-richard-sharpe/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
