SUMMARY:GREEN THINKING: HOW 20TH CENTURY BRITISH ENVIRONMENTAL LITERATURE SHAPES THE STORY OF CLIMATE CHANGE
DESCRIPTION:The Gender ARC (Gender\, Discourse and Identity) at the Moore Institute presents \nDR KELLY SULTZBACH\, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN\, LA CROSSE \nUS Fulbright Scholar through the Fulbright Inter-country Program \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis talk considers how the experience of a muddy\, apocalyptic war and the metroland octopus of suburban development influenced the pastoral imagination of environmental writing between the wars. It addresses popular literature and nature writing\, much of it penned by veterans of the First World War\, including Edmund Blunden\, J.B. Priestly\, and R.C. Sherriff.  Their stories raise messy questions about rural nostalgia\, preservation and prejudice\, as well as the fickleness of human nature when confronted with choices about our own consumerist desires and what is best for a thriving countryside.  These stories are less engaged with the progressive posthumanism of contemporary scholarship; instead\, they illuminate some of the more contested social struggles of 21st century climate change:  What kinds of narratives motivate people to support environmental agendas?  Are the reasons most of us love and cherish nature compatible with preserving it?  How do we create stories that don’t just speak to fellow activists\, but subtly\, compellingly\, begin to listen to and cultivate wider fields of green public thinking?  Using examples from both my published work and new research\, this talk will explore the continued relevance of environmental modernism to a 21st century Anthropocene awareness.

SUMMARY:Gaelic Games on Film: From silent films to Hollywood hurling\, horror and the emergence of Irish cinema-by Seán Crosson
DESCRIPTION:Introduced by Professor Philip Dine \nAll welcome \n \nThis study provides the first major monograph examination of filmic representations of Gaelic games\, charting these representations from the earliest years of the twentieth century\, including silent films such as Knocknagow (1918) to more recent productions Michael Collins (1996) and The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006). Among the areas examined are newsreel depictions of Gaelic games; Hollywood’s fascination with hurling in the mid-20th century (including in the work of Oscar-winning director John Ford)\, which led to a range of productions featuring the sport culminating with the Oscar-nominated short Three Kisses (Paramount\, 1955); the importance of the depictions of Gaelic games to the emergence of a distinctive Irish film culture post WWII; and the role of Gaelic games in contemporary cinema. \nSeán Crosson is Co-Director of the MA (Sports Journalism and Communication) and Director of Graduate Research and Teaching in the Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, National University of Ireland Galway. His previous publications include Sport and Film (Routledge\, 2013) and (as co-editor) Sport\, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe (Peter Lang\, 2010). \n

SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland  Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nTom Walker\, Trinity College Dublin \nW.B. Yeats\, Scholastic Aestheticism\, and Cultural Authority in Late Nineteenth-Century Ireland \nChris Collins\, University of Nottingham \n‘The man went queer in his head’: Synge and the cultural politics of mental health\, 1871-1909 \nRefreshments will be served! \n[NB UPDATE: change of 2nd speaker & venue]\nJoin us for exiting talks by two current Moore Institute Visiting Fellows. Part of MSI’s Works in Progress series\, these talks come ahead of the inaugural MODERNIST STUDIES IRELAND conference Fri 17 Sat 18 May 2019 in the Hardiman Research Building. Full programme to follow. https://modstudiesireland.wordpress.com/ \nDr Tom Walker is Ussher Assistant Professor in Irish Writing at Trinity College Dublin. \nDr Walker’s monograph Louis MacNeice and the Irish Poetry of his Time was published 2015 by Oxford University Press. This drew on extensive archival research on both sides of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic to illuminate MacNeice’s considerable contact with Irish literary networks and with contemporaneous Irish poetry. It was awarded the 2015 Robert Rhodes Prize for Books on Literature by the American Conference for Irish Studies. Other publications include research on the work of John McGahern\, the place of the literary within Northern Irish writing\, the radio poetry of Richard Murphy\, and Irish-British poetic relations at mid-century. He has also recently co-edited a special issue of the journal Modernist Cultures on ‘Collaborative Poetics’. \nHis current research project is provisionally entitled ‘Yeats and the Writing of Art’. It examines the work of W.B. Yeats through the prism of nineteenth and twentieth-century art writing – encompassing the many textual forms through which art spectatorship and writing were combined during the period\, ranging from aesthetic philosophy to art history to exhibition reviews to ekphrastic poems. The project was supported by an Irish Research Council New Horizons Research Project Grant. \nDr Chris Collins is Assistant Professor of Drama at the University of Nottingham.  \nDr Collins has published widely on Irish theatre\, including two monographs on the work of Irish writer\, J.M. Synge (Theatre and Residual Culture [Palgrave: 2016]\, and J.M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World [Routledge: 2016]). He is currently writing his third book entitled J.M. Synge and The Time of His Life\, which considers how Synge’s writings offer an alternative social history of Ireland during the playwright’s lifetime. Synge witnessed and wrote about profound changes to Irish society and culture during his short lifetime: 1871-1909. This was a Victorian age of progress\, and everything needed to be clocked: from the time it took the Galway train to travel to Dublin\, to those cultures of the empire that had supposedly failed to evolve. Synge had a keen interest in how progress should be measured\, and his plays and prose offer unique perspectives on the measurement of time and the modernisation of Irish society. Synge’s fascination with time also had a particular personal appeal. As early as 1899 Synge knew he was dying young. Immediately thereafter he set about travelling Ireland\, writing prose\, verse and plays about spaces and places that were rapidly changing in front of his eyes. A mixture of biography\, social history and critical analysis of his plays and prose\, the significance of this project is that it will explore how Synge staged and wrote about linear and non-linear time in the Ireland of his time\, both as a reflection on modernisation and as a coping mechanism for the finiteness of time in his personal life. \nChris will be using his time at the Moore Institute to consult the digital archives of Synge’s diaries\, journals and notebooks\, as well as Abbey Theatre and Druid Theatre digital archives. \nNB Dr Antonio Bibbò of the Unversity of Manchester\, originally advertised as speaker\, has kindly agreed to give a talk later in the academic year. He is currently completing a monograph titled Reception and Perception of Irish Culture in Early Twentieth-Century Italy: Imagining Ireland in Italy. During his time at the Moore Institute\, Dr Bibbò intends to investigate understudied aspects of the literary relationship between Italy and Ireland at the beginning of the twentieth century. \n

SUMMARY:Future Landscapes Workshop: Enhancing Seen & Unseen Landscapes with Mixed Reality
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Applications for the fee-waiver scholarships available via the Moore Institute and Galway 2020 are now closed \n\nFuture Landscapes is an intensive four-week\, full-time workshop created in conjunction with the School of Machines\, Making and Make-Believe and Galway 2020. \nThe aim of the workshop is to allow participants to develop the skills to explore the use of immersive technologies\, such as Virtual and Augmented Reality\, within the context of Landscape\, both seen and unseen. This may include\, for example\, the augmentation of physical landscapes\, or creating immersive experiences related to social or political landscapes. Technical experience is not a prerequisite for participating in the course. \nOverview\nCompelling us all is an interest in creatively exploring vast landscapes in the physical world and of the mind while gaining an understanding of the potentials of augmented-\, virtual-\, and mixed reality through a myriad of critical\, conceptual\, and hands-on approaches. \nUsing technology to imagine unknown realities can inspire new ways of looking at the world. In designing new forms of interactive and tactile experiences\, artistic creation and storytelling\, what could we add or augment to our surroundings to develop new narratives about landscapes\, be them physical\, social\, or mental\, that permeate our lives? What forms of play and togetherness might we be able to create and sustain? Could thoughtful discourse on landscapes and realities empower us into making impactful change? \nCourse Description\nMixed Reality (MR) refers to a suit of technologies that anchors virtual objects in a space\, allowing for the possibility of “real” interaction with those objects. With Augmented Reality (AR)\, in addition to superimposing images and 3D models over the camera feed\, these toolkits offer the opportunity to map physical spaces\, understand ambient lighting and track the position of a phone in space. Pokemon Go used these techniques to capture the public interest and brought AR into the mainstream\, but it begs the question\, what else can we do with this technology? In this class\, we’ll explore the spectrum of what these tools have to offer. \nThese techniques are just a starting point for what may be possible. There is much experimentation to be done by utilising the other capabilities of handheld devices to stream live data\, communicate with others\, and incorporate information from built in sensors. \nAlthough various types of augmented and virtual reality systems have existed for some time\, recent advances in mobile technology platforms provide us more powerful ways of creating and sharing these experiences with a wider audience. So as the technology is advancing\, what happens when we bring conceptual ideas and criticality to the fore? \nThe primary tool of this program will be Unity 3D. We will work with the ARKit and Vuforia libraries. As we engage the potential of these new tools\, we will also take a critical perspective discussing the shortcomings and challenges of future technologies. \nIn this course\, you will be introduced to:\n\nCritical and conceptual development of projects *\nCreative development with Unity3D *\nScripting in Unity3D to create interactivity *\nIntroduction to ARKit (iOS) and Vuforia *\nAttaching virtual objects to real image markers *\nCreating both AR and VR experiences *\nRecording and placing sounds inside a virtual AR space *\nDesigning an AR space that can be shared and explored with multiple people at the same time *\nBuilding mixed reality experiences *\nAn amazing network and community of like-minded creative beings and potential future collaborators\n\n* No previous experience necessary \nCourse Outline\nWeek 1: Introductions\, concepts\, narratives\, play\, and critical discourse. \nWeek 2: Tools and techniques for creating interactive experiences in Unity \nWeek 3: Advanced tools and techniques for creating interactive experiences in Unity. Adding physicality into our work through props and found artefacts. \nWeek 4: Preparing talks\, presentations\, and Mixed Reality experiences for final showcase open to the public \nWho is this program for?\nThis workshop is geared toward anyone involved in creative projects (such as architects\, designers\, makers\, artists\, musicians\, performers) and members of the arts and humanities research community\, that wish to begin incorporating mixed reality experiences into their work or practice. \nThis course approaches mixed reality from an introductory level. A basic knowledge of programming (in any language/platform) is encouraged\, *but not required*. \nApplication Process\nParticipation in the course is subject to an application process and interview\, which will be conducted by the School of MA. \nAn online application form for the programme\, and details of fees for participation in this 4-week full-time course are available on the course registration page. \nNUI Galway Scholarship Opportunities\nFor staff\, students and researchers currently affiliated with the College of Arts at NUI Galway\, there are a number of fee-waiver scholarships available. These scholarships are generously funded through a HEA project on “Digital Literacy in Irish Humanities”. You must indicate on the application form if you wish to be considered for one of these scholarships. \nA number of fee-waiver scholarships are also available via Galway 2020 for professionals working in the Arts\, technology\, or research and living in Galway\, Ireland. You can indicate on the application form if you wish to be considered for one of these scholarships. \nApplications for these fee-waiver scholarships will close on February 28th \nQuestions\nIf you have any questions\, please feel free to contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie) at the Moore Institute\, NUI Galway.

SUMMARY:Archives in the Digital Age - Digital Scholars' Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Archives in the Digital Age – balancing evolving expectations against the realities of resource allocation and legislation – Aisling Keane\, G010\, 12-1pm Tuesday\, 30th April. \n\nNUI Galway is rich in archival collections that provide primary source material for subjects that include the Irish language\, the landscape of the West of Ireland\, theatre and literary collections\, political collections relating to Northern Ireland. Increasingly\, we make material available digitally\, and work with staff / researchers to maximise the value and impact of this investment. This can be through their use in teaching programmes\, employing technologies available to us to conduct statistical analysis on their contents\, and work with local partners on data visualisation tools. There is a greater expectation on archives and libraries to deliver on services like this. \nThis talk will give an overview of the landscape of digital archives projects in Ireland at the moment\, specifically the types of resources and infrastructure these projects require\, legislation such as copyright and data protection that influence these\, and the types of organisations that fund these projects. \nIt will also present the resources and support available at NUI Galway for anyone interested in working with us on these projects. \n\nRegistration\nPlease register to attend using Eventbrite. \n\nAbout the Workshop Series\nDeveloping skills with digital technologies can be a challenge for researchers interested in digital and open scholarship. \nTo help\, the Library\, in partnership with the Moore Institute\, presents a series of informal workshops to share practice-based expertise\, know-how\, and experience in technologies and methods\, that will enhance your experience of newer forms of scholarship. \nEvents in this semester’s series include: \n\nPlanning & Building Digital Projects – David Kelly\, G010\, 12-1pm Thursday\, 31st January\nIntroduction to Research Data Management and related supports at NUI Galway – Trish Finnan\, G010\, 12-1pm Wednesday 27th February\nCreating Digital Exhibitions with Omeka – Cillian Joy\, G011\, 12-1pm Thursday 28th March\nArchives in the digital age – balancing evolving expectations against the realities of resource allocation and legislation – Aisling Keane\, G010\, 12-1pm Tuesday\, 30th April.

SUMMARY:‘Researching rural housing: with an artist in residence’.
DESCRIPTION:by Dr. Menelaos Gkartzios\, Newcastle University\, and Dr. Julie Crawshaw\, Northumbria University\, UK\, Moore Visiting Fellows. \nMenelaos Gkartzios and Julie Crawshaw present their interdisciplinary collaboration across artistic research\, planning and rural studies. We draw on a collaborative art residence programme between Newcastle University and Berwick Visual Arts\, an arts organisation in the North East of England\, which invited an artist to respond to a highly contentious topic in rural England: housing development. The ambition for the residency was\, firstly\, to provide new perspectives on rural housing research\, and\, secondly\, to provide a space for engagement between the local community\, planners and academics. Through our research\, we explore how the resident artist\, Sander Van Raemdonck’s\, worked towards these ambitions and we offer original insights on how to develop interdisciplinary research with artists. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr Menelaos Gkartzios is Senior Lecturer in Planning & Development at Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy in the UK. He has been educated both in Greece and Ireland\, and received his PhD in Planning at University College Dublin. His research has focused on mobilities and social change\, rural housing\, the relationship between art and development\, and international comparative research. He has published articles in the Journal of Rural Studies\, Sociologia Ruralis\, Regional Studies\, Geoforum\, Population\, Space & Place\, World Development and Land Use Policy amongst other journals. He has co-edited the first Routledge Companion to Rural Planning and sits on the editorial board of Sociologia Ruralis. Menelaos has been Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan\, where he taught a module on ‘Rural Planning and Development’ and conducted research in relation to art festivals in rural Japan. As part of his engagement practice\, he leads a collaborative rural art residency programme with Berwick Visual Arts\, and he sits on the board of directors of the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival in Northumberland\, England. He currently leads a research network between Newcastle and Tokyo Universities on contemporary arts practice and rural development\, funded by the UK’s Research Councils (ESRC and AHRC). At Moore Institute he will be working with co-Visiting Research Fellow Dr Julie Crawshaw on artistic research and rural sustainability questions. Together they will present aspects of their collaborative trans disciplinary research on ‘doing art in the country’. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr Julie Crawshaw is Senior Lecturer in Material Culture in the Arts Department at Northumbria University. She has an interdisciplinary background spanning fine art and international development with an anthropological PhD in Planning and Landscape from Manchester University. Her ethnographic research explores the potential for art and artistic inquiry with particular focus on its contributions across planning practice\, feminist and Deweyan pragmatism\, and cultural management. Funded by the Swedish Research Council\, she is currently Co Investigator of ‘Stretched: Expanding Notions of Artistic Practice through Artist-led Culture’ which is a curatorial-ethnographic project exploring expanded forms of art production. Her publications include articles in Landscape Research\, Journal of Rural Studies and the Anthropological Journal of European Cultures\, as well as a number of sector research and evaluation reports for arts organisations\, arts funding councils and local authority consortia. Before academia she worked in arts management. This professional practice informs her teaching as Programme Leader of MA Creative and Cultural Industries Management which is part of Northumbria’s innovative research and teaching collaboration with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art through BxNU Institute. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Counter-Reformation and Stuart Loyalism in the poetry of Adam King
DESCRIPTION:By Moore Visiting Fellow David McOmish \n \nThis talk will discuss the life and literary works of Adam King\, an academic\, writer\, late-sixteenth century agent of the counter-reformation\, and early-seventeenth century Stuart Loyalist. A committed follower of Mary\, Queen of Scots in Scotland and the catholic cause across Europe\, King returned to Scotland in the late 16th century and became a devoted follower of Mary’s son\, King James VI and I. The poet William Drummond of Hawthornden referred to King as the most learned man Scotland ever produced. Upon his return to Edinburgh\, King\, a former professor of mathematics and philosophy at the Collège de Lisieux\, University of Paris (1585-1595)\, established the ideas and methods of the new sciences at the University of Edinburgh in the lead up to the Enlightenment. A retrospective damnatio memoriae\, instigated by Calvinists in Edinburgh from 1645 onwards\, mean that King is to this day\, remarkably\, a largely unknown figure. \nThis talk will be part of a series on Scots and Irish Latin Literature and Literary culture at the Moore Institute on 24th of April.  \nDetails here: http://cas.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/files/2019/03/programme-SNLS.pdf  \n

SUMMARY:“Bridging the care gap: An evaluation of palliative day-care services”.
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Dr Catherine Anne Field from the Health Promotion Research Centre at NUI Galway will deliver the final lunch-time seminar of the series. \n \nPalliative day care services provide individual\, patient centred and holistic care acting on domains including but not restricted to medical models of care. Day-care is traditionally an under researched area; it can also be difficult to evaluate from the patient perspective. This study adopted a mixed methods approach that used patients and staff input to design and deliver a study that evaluated day care services. Researchers found that day-care was of great importance to the patients and their families\, particular aspects of the service that were seen to be crucial were the socio-medical model\, the wide variety of therapeutic services\, provision of transport and the social supportive environment.\nPrincipal Investigators: Dr Catherine Anne Field and Dr Geraldine Mc Darby\, Health Promotion Research Centre\, NUI Galway \nCollaborators: Galway Hospice\, Sora Abdul Fatta (NUIG Student Researcher)

SUMMARY:Geopolitics and Justice Cluster Seminar
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nASEAN\, disaster discourses and the construction of ‘risk’ \nProf. Lorraine Elliott \nANU\, Canberra\, Australia \nAbstract \nThis paper presents some (early) work in progress that examines how disaster discourses in Southeast Asia constitute a particular version of human (in)security and the human ‘insecure’ through the construction of ideas and assumptions about ‘risk’. It begins with a brief overview of the institutional density and interplay of regional disaster governance in the ASEAN context. The presentation then explores how discourses and techniques of disaster governance rely on a scientific model that privileges risk over vulnerability. Such a model informs conceptions of agency that run the risk of disempowering those who are most insecure in disaster contexts. \nBio \nLorraine Elliott is Professor Emerita in International Relations in the Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University. Her research and publications range across global and regional (Asia Pacific) governance\, human security\, global environmental politics and earth system governance\, the UN system\, and cosmopolitan ethics. She is a past Chair of the Board of the Academic Council on the UN System\, a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Earth System Governance project\, the international advisory committee for the Platform on Disaster Displacement\, the international advisory board for the Varieties of Peace program based at the University of Umeå (Sweden) and the international network of experts of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime. She is currently working on the third edition of her Global Politics of the Environment book\, trying hard to finalise a book on the political economy of black trade in transnational environmental crime\, and thinking about what her next book – on human security\, the ethics of solidarity and techniques of governance – might look like.

SUMMARY:Fantastique Changelings: liminality and narrative technique in Irish Changeling Tales
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nPresentation By Moore Visiting Fellow Dr Audrey Robitaillié \nThis talk analyses changeling narratives in Irish folklore\, both in English and in Irish\, and focuses particularly on the theme of liminality in the Irish changeling tradition. To do so\, it centres on folk narratives about humans taken away to the Otherworld by fairies\, who leave behind a substitute to replace the stolen person. The liminality of these accounts\, expressed through characters and settings\, is also studied through its relationship with the narrative technique of the fantastique\, used to engage the audience with the story and play with the listeners’ fears. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Data Conversations Series - Talking Historical Data with Dr Kieran Fitzpatrick (Moore Institute) and Dr Ali Hasnain (Insight Centre)
DESCRIPTION:Open Scholarship heralds radical changes for research of all kinds. These include the mainstreaming of innovative cross-disciplinary data-reuse\, an emphasis on transparency and reproducibility\, concerns for preservation and long-term usability of data and the rise of new forms of scholarly communication including data publication and the normalisation of open access publishing.  In anticipation of these changes\, the library kicks off a series of Data Conversations\, informal events where current Data and Data Management issues are discussed. These Conversations are informal events – a mixture of short talks and audience and panel discussions aimed at bringing our researcher community together in a relaxed and friendly environment to talk all things ‘Data’. The Conversations also provide an opportunity for participants to meet researchers from different disciplines and at different career stages\, together with the support personnel who can help them with their Research Data Management Plans. \n  \nPlaces are limited and booking is advised.

SUMMARY:Moore Institute Visiting Fellow seminar and workshop
DESCRIPTION:12.30 – 14.00: Seminar by Moore Institute Visiting Fellow – Dr. Mirko Daniel Garasic    \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWhy should we regulate the use of cognitive enhancers?: “Let me tell you why I should tell you that I took Ritalin before this talk” \nAbstract: It is now well documented that the use of cognitive enhancers (CE) is not only increasingly common in Western countries\, but also gradually accepted as a normal procedure by the media as well. In fact\, its implementation is not unusual in various professional contexts and it has its peak in colleges (where the trend has been characterized as “academic doping”). Even when certain restrictions in the legislation of a country are indeed in place (i.e. through prescriptions requirements)\, they are without doubts easy to overcome. The legitimacy and appropriateness of such restrictions will not be the focus of this presentation. The concern is instead related to the moral and social reasons to publicly acknowledge the use of cognitive enhancers in competitive-selective contexts. These reasons are linked to a more neutral analysis of contemporary Western society: it is a fact that an increasing number of competitive-selective contexts have a substantial number of contenders using CE. Through the use of some examples\, the problems related to its use will be analyzed. In particular\, focus will be given to the tension between one of the main arguments used by bio-liberals (the use of CE is an eligible procedure that society does not impose on anyone) and the actual implementation of the drugs in competitive\, or semi-competitive contexts. \nDr Mirko Daniel Garasic \nResearch Scholar\, UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights\, Rome\, Italy \nAdjunct Professor in Bioethics\, LUISS University\, Rome\, Italy \nMore info: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mirko_Garasic \n  \n14.30 – 17.00: Beyond normality? technologies between assistance and enhancement workshop \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n14.30 – 14.35: Heike Felzmann: Overview of workshop \n14.35 – 14.50: Oliver Feeney: Human Enhancement Technologies: key challenges and opportunities \n14.50 – 15.05: Discussion \n15.05 – 15.20: Heike Felzmann: ELS issues in wearable robots between assistance and enhancement of motor function – a taxonomy. \n15.20 – 15.35: Discussion \n15.35 – 15.50: Su-Ming Khoo: Algocracy and the threats to democratic inclusion – interrogating democratic capabilities in transhumanist times \n15.50 – 16.05: Discussion \n16.10 – 17.00: Launch of B-CAUSE IRC COALESCE project  \nSu-Ming Khoo\, (with wine reception). \n

SUMMARY:Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, 2018-19
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Conspiracy of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction’-Dr Teresa Caneda\, University of Vigo\, Spain. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nA chairde\, \nYou are invited to attend our forthcoming seminar as part of the Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, Semester 2\, 2018-19. We are delighted to welcome Dr Teresa Caneda from the University of Vigo\, Spain to NUI Galway this year. \nShe is the Principal Investigator of the research project “Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction” funded by Spanish Agency for Research (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). \nDr Vigo will deliver her seminar entitled\, ‘Breaking the Conspiracy of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction’at 4pm on Thursday 4 April\, Seminar Room\, Centre for Irish Studies. Further details are included below. \nBeidh fáilte roimh chách! \nLe gach dea-ghuí\, \nAbstract: \nIn contemporary Ireland many forms of abuse\, kept secret for a long time\, have recently aroused public opinion on an international scale. In this social context\, the theme of silence has been extremely relevant to the Irish literary imagination with the topic of “the unspoken”\, both as subject and style\, being foregrounded by some of the most representative contemporary writers. Counter-hegemonic narrative impulses articulated through linguistic gaps\, displacements\, ironies and ambivalences have become essential discursive elements through which Irish artists question and resist social constructions and cultural practices attached to notions of silence. Drawing on the concept that silence is not only a space beyond words but a form of speaking the unspeakable\, the talk will reflect on how authors have concentrated on breaking the conspiracy of silence thus  denouncing the private and public dysfunctions of a society in which shocking anomalies have long remained buried and unacknowledged. \nBiography:\nTeresa Caneda is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Vigo (Spain)\, she has recently been awarded a Scholarship for Senior researchers from the Ministry of Culture and Education and is currently on a research stay as a visiting fellow at UCD School of English\, Drama and Film. She is the author of La estética modernista como práctica de resistencia en A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\, a re-evaluation of the ideological implications of modernist aesthetics in the context of Joyce’s early fiction (University of Vigo:2002) and the editor of Vigorous Joyce: Atlantic Readings of James Joyce (University of Vigo: 2010). She organized the 19th Conference of the Spanish James Joyce Society and currently sits on the Editorial Board of European Joyce Studies. Her work has appeared in journals such as the James Joyce Quarterly\, Papers on Joyce\, Interventions\, Translation Studies Translation and Literature and Estudios Irlandeses. An important part of her research has concentrated on translation as a form of negotiation between cultures and in relation to socio-political and intellectual frameworks vis-à-vis the concept of cultural mobility with a focus on the role of translation in processes of identity formation across the Atlantic (“Translation as a Revisitation of Joyce’s Irish Modernism” in Irish Modernism and The Global Primitive. McGarrity and Culleton (eds) Palgrave Macmillan\, 2009; “Trans/atlantic Mobilities: Translating Narratives of Irish Resistance” in Towards 2016: 1916 in Irish Literature\, Culture & Society. Crosson\, Seán and W. Huber (eds) Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier\, 2015). More recently she has been interested in exploring issues such as transnationalism\, foreignness and mobility in relation to Contemporary Irish Fiction. Last year she co-edited\, a special issue of the journal Atlantic Studies (2018) on “Atlantic Communities: Translation\, Mobility\, Hospitality” and contributed with a chapter on Joyce and the aesthetics of silence to the volume James Joyce’s Silences (London: Bloomsbury\, 2018). Since January 2018 she is the Principal Investigator of the research project “Inconvenient Truths: Cultural Practices of Silence in Contemporary Irish Fiction” funded by Spanish Agency for Research (AEI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

SUMMARY:When Red Turned Green Yellow: Ireland and Yugoslavia in the Early Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Jelena Đureinović  Moore Visiting Fellow 2019 \n \n  \nThis explores the Irish public reception of the establishment of state socialism in Yugoslavia and post-war trials that ensued\, placing it in the wider context of anti-communism in Ireland and its religious dimension. The biggest concern in the Irish public regarding communism in Eastern Europe was the treatment of the Catholic Church – its loss of power\, the rapid secularisation of society and persecution of clergy. The trials against Croatian Archbishop Stepinac and Cardinal Mindszenty from Hungary represented the most prominent causes for protest and led to the largest display of the intertwinement of the anti-communism and religion in Ireland in 1949\, when 150\,000 people gathered in the streets of Dublin. When Irish and Yugoslav national teams were supposed to play a friendly football match in 1952\, the Football Association of Ireland quietly cancelled it\, pressured by Archbishop John Charles McQuaid. The match took place in 1955\, surrounded by cancellation attempts\, calls for boycott\, and accusations against the FAI and without support of government officials or a radio broadcast. These discourses reveal that the Yugoslav football players were not welcome\, seen as representatives Josip Broz Tito\, the main persecutor of Archbishop Stepinac and the Catholic Church. \nThe talk is a part of the larger research project that examines Ireland and Yugoslavia in the Cold War. The Cold War stands in the focus as the period when both countries had to define and re-define their state identities and negotiate their sovereignty and position in the global political order. While Ireland negotiated its post-imperial sovereignty after British rule\, the Yugoslav foreign policy strived for a unique form of socialist sovereignty outside the bloc. Balancing between the micro\, national\, and transnational scales\, the research contributes to national histories of Ireland and Yugoslavia by observing them through the novel lens of each other that also goes beyond the binary understanding of the Cold War reduced to superpower rivalry. \nJelena Đureinović is an instructor of record in East European History and a Career Development Grant recipient at the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture at the University of Giessen in Germany. She submitted her PhD thesis in Modern and Contemporary History in 2018\, entitled ‘Glory for the Defeated: Memory of Second World War Collaboration\, Resistance\, and Retribution in Contemporary Serbia’\, and is currently working on turning it into a book that will be published by Routledge in 2020.
