SUMMARY:Moore Institute Workshop 2011-12:Writing on the Edges of Empire: MA Graduate Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Description of Workshop  \nAn MA Research Methods workshop will take place in the Moore Institute on Wednesday 30th November with students from the NUIG MA in Culture and Colonialism and  the UL MA in English. The workshop will strengthen the ties between NUIG  and the University of Limerick\, both at graduate and research level\,  since it is also in connection with the Gender ARC\, as well as the  associated research cluster “InterSects: Women and Nation 1880-1920”   The workshop will consist of panels in which speakers from NUIG\, UL and  UCD reflect on their research\, highlighting research processes as much  as content; a discussion of IRCHSS funding and Ph.D. possibilities to  which current Ph.D. candidates will contribute; and a group workshop for  the MA students. The aim of the workshop is to deepen graduate  students’ understanding of the nature and possibilities of academic  research and to help students formulate ideas for their dissertations.  An important aspect of the workshop will be the particular challenges  which archival\, textual and contextual research present to researchers  working on marginalised\, non-conventional and/or geographically distant  source material\, as well as the challenges posed by interdisciplinary  research models. Participants will include Professor Margaret Harper  (UL); Dr Tina O’Toole (UL)\, Dr Anne Mulhall (UCD)\, Professor Sean Ryder  (NUIG)\, Dr Muireann O’Cinneide (NUIG) and Professor Tadhg Foley (NUIG\,  Emeritus).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Beckett & God by John Calder
DESCRIPTION:John Calder published 23 Nobel Prize winners for Literature including Samuel Beckett. The Godot Company which he founded has toured Ireland with Waiting for Godot (2006)\, Endgame (2009)\, Beckett x3 (2010) which were acclaimed both by critics and by audiences. \nCalder was Beckett’s principal English-language publisher during his lifetime\, who was also a close friend\, and has written one of the most enlightening books about him.   \nSamuel Beckett is probably the best-known\, and most admired internationally\, Irish author of the twentieth century\, but much of his work is too little understood or considered not accessible to a wide general public. This should not to be so. Beckett’s work has universal appeal\, and\, although intended to help give an accurate picture of life as we know it and the realities of human destiny\, it is also vastly entertaining\, often very comic\, and above all enlightening in what it tells us about how to make life better for others and more interesting for ourselves.  \nJohn Calder’s lecture will explain how this “God-haunted man” as he has been described\, used his religious knowledge to help us understand the realities and the absurdities of our lives\, make great literature out of it\, always with great originality\, humour and wisdom.  \nEvery lecture will finish with a question and answer session.’

SUMMARY:Lecture:  Franca Cavagnoli\, Italian translator and scholar
DESCRIPTION:Italian Studies and the Moore Institute are delighted to announce a talk by Italian translator and scholar\nFranca Cavagnoli\n28 September 2011 @ 6.00pm – The Moore Institute Seminar 6.00pm\nCultural Hybridity and Liminal Space in Post-Colonial Literary Translation \nLiminal space and its creative potentialities have been scarcely investigated by Translation Studies in Italy. The in-betweenspace of contact languages is a culturally fertile ground for post-colonial translation\, since it is the inter – the cutting edge of translation and renegotiation – that carries the burden of the meaning of culture (Bhabha\, 1994). My reflections will draw on my experience as a translator of post-colonial writers and will concentrate on exploring the contact zone of rotten English and creole continuum\, as shown by Ken Saro-Wiwa in Sozaboy (1985) and by Jean Rhys in Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) respectively\, and on analysing the strange middle ground of Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981). The final part of my lecture will focus on how liminal space and hybridity have been perceived in their Italian translations. Franca Cavagnoli has published two novels: Una pioggia bruciante (2000) – winner of the CittÌÊ di Cuneo Award for First Novel – and Non si ̬ seri a 17 anni (2007)\, as well as a volume of essays Il proprio e l’estraneo nella traduzione letteraria di lingua inglese (2010). Her articles and reviews have been published in Corriere della sera\, Il manifesto\, Diario\, Linea d’ombra. She has edited two collections of Australian short stories\, Il cielo a rovescio (1950s-1990s) and Cent’anni di racconti australiani (1850s-1990s)\, in addition to the complete collection of Katherine Mansfield’s short stories. She lectures in Translation Studies at ISIT\, UniversitÌÊ degli Studi di Milano and UniversitÌÊ degli Studi di Pisa. She is interested in Post-Colonial Studies (her primary areas of interest are Australia\, South Africa and the Caribbean) and she has been working as a literary translator for leading Italian publishers (Adelphi\, Feltrinelli\, Einaudi) since 1987. She has translated\, among others\, works by Toni Morrison\, Nadine Gordimer\, Jamaica Kincaid\, V.S. Naipaul\, J.M. Coetzee and David Malouf. She was awarded the Premio Fedrigoni for literary translation in 2010 and the Premio Gregor von Rezzori for her new translation of The Great Gatsby.

SUMMARY:Symposium: W. B. Yeats and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: W. B. Yeats and the Arts\n26th-27th August\, 2011\nMoore Institute\, National University of Ireland\, Galway  \nFunded by the NUI Galway Millennium Fund\, and the ‘1916 and After’ project. \n[Download poster here] \n‰Û÷The arts have failed’\, wrote W.B.Yeats\, ‰Û÷fewer people are interested in them in every generation.’ Fortunately\, however\, this gloom over the fate of ‰Û÷ingenious lovely things’ only spurred him on to ever greater artistic engagement. His poetry\, prose\, and drama repeatedly address and incorporate music\, dance and visual art\, while his publications self-consciously deploy design and iconography. Yet Yeats was not only a author; he was also a cultural entrepreneur. He changed Irish public life by helping to found institutions such as Dublin’s Municipal Gallery of Modern Art\, the Abbey Theatre\, and the Abbey School of Ballet. In collaboration with his sisters\, Lilly and Lolly\, he set up a printing press as a forum for Irish design and illustration. Together with his wife\, George\, he renovated the tower at Ballylee using local craftsmen. He took to the concert platform and later the airwaves to promote poetry spoken with music. Moreover\, as a theatre director\, journalist\, public speaker and politician\, he inspired numerous other cultural productions in Ireland and beyond. \nThis two-day international symposium\, presented by ECHO\, NUI Galway’s Humanities Research Forum\, and funded by the NUI Galway Millennium Fund and as part of the international research project ‰Û÷1916 and After’\, seeks to promote research on all aspects of Yeats’s interactions with the arts\, from storytelling to stained-glass windows. It offers a forum for discussing different historical\, methodological and theoretical approaches\, crossing disciplines to bring together critics of literature and drama\, musicologists\, and historians of dance and the visual arts. It thus includes panels on Yeats and Music\, Yeats and Dance\, Yeats and the Visual Arts\, Yeats and Drama\, Yeats and the Book\, and Yeats and the Wider Arts\, presented by the some of the finest scholars in the field. There will also be a conference dinner and an evening’s entertainment of Joycean and Yeatsian songs. \nAs well as addressing key issues within Yeats’s work\, the symposium looks to wider debates in Irish studies\, and cultural history and theory. It considers questions about the value and relationship of the arts\, Ireland’s role in European modernism\, and the links between late-Victorian and modernist culture. Examining the interaction between aesthetics and politics\, it also reflects on the political operation of centres of cultural production and the role played by art in political radicalism in Ireland in the period\, leading up to the 1916 uprising and the revolutionary conflicts that followed. Through a focus on Yeats’s work and career\, it seeks to encourage further a growing body of cultural history and criticism based on genuinely interdisciplinary research. \nWe are delighted to welcome as our keynote lecturer Daniel Albright of Harvard University. Our panels of Yeatsians and other scholars from many disciplines include such distinguished speakers as Nicholas Allen\, Brian Arkins\, Richard Rupert Arrowsmith\, Nicola Gordon Bowe\, Terence Brown\, Adrian Frazier\, Warwick Gould\, Margaret Mills Harper\, Sue Jones\, Stoddard Martin\, Emilie Morin\, Aidan Thomson and Deirdre Toomey. \nThe two-day symposium is free to all from NUI Galway\, and ‰âÂ50 (‰âÂ40) otherwise. All are very welcome. \nFor further information please look at our website: http://echoforum.wordpress.com/ \nor address the conference organisers: \nAdrian Paterson (National University of Ireland\, Galway) adrianpaterson@yahoo.com \nThomas Walker (University of Oxford/Trinity College Dublin) thomas.walker@ell.ox.ac.uk

SUMMARY:The Francophone World and the Angloworld: Empires of Culture\, c. 1700-2000
DESCRIPTION:The Francophone World and the Angloworld: Empires of Culture\, c. 1700-2000\nNational University of Ireland\, Galway – 8-10 June 2011\nPart of the Texts\, Contexts\, Cultures research programme.\nSupported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n\nThis June\, Galway will host an international conference of renowned scholars\, who will compare critical approaches to the study of histories and cultures of empire in Britain\, France and the US. \nStudies of the British and French empires have been influenced over the last three decades by the insights offered by postcolonialism\, by developments in cultural and critical theory\, and by continuing archival research. More recently\, scholars have sought to link the histories of the British and French empires to the history of globalisation. In terms of the British empire\, this has encouraged some to frame the ‰Û÷Angloworld’ as a more appropriate basis for analysis\, looking at connections between the British empire and the independent\, but in many ways imperial\, settler societies of the United States. Scholars of French colonial expansion and enterprise are resurrecting the history of the Francophone world as a ‰Û÷process’ rather than a ‰Û÷stance’\, exploring the ways in which a colonising metropole and colonised territories shaped each other over time. Moreover\, imperialism has increasingly been seen as a process of control deeply reliant on a range of regulatory practices\, from the dissemination of literary texts to a wide range of theatrical and cultural performances. \nKey questions to be considered at the conference include: \n\nHow do the Angloworld and the Francophone world fit in with histories of globalisation?\nWhat is the prominence given to the role of culture in the scholarship of empire in the British and French contexts?\nWas the impact of empire on Britain and France’s own domestic cultures similar in extent and nature?\nWhat directions might the study of the British and French empires take over the next decade?\nHow did the circulation of culture in the circum-Atlantic and -Pacific spheres influence the nature of the British and French empires?\nWhat are the different ways in which religion played a part in the dissemination of empire?\n\nThis event is part of the wider ‰Û÷Texts Contexts Cultures’ research project funded by the Government of Ireland PRTLI scheme and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nConfirmed Speakers: \nJames Belich is Professor at the Stout Research Centre\, Victoria University\, Wellington.

SUMMARY:Conference:  The Shadows of Modernism
DESCRIPTION:THE SHADOWS OF MODERNISM\, THURSDAY MAY 12th\, 2011\, The Moore Institute Seminar RoomAs part of the research project “1916 and After”\, the Moore Institute\, the School of Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures\, and Italian Studies are pleased to announce the one-day workshop The Shadows of Modernism. The workshop will be led by Margaret Higonnet (University of Connecticut)\, and Mario Perniola (University of Rome\, Tor Vergata)\, and will interrogate aspects and issues of modernism which have been neglected or are still unthought in the context of the rapid transformation of aesthetic and social phenomena. The workshop will have a master-class format. There will be ample space for discussion and interaction. This project is sponsored by a NUI\, Galway Research Support Fund. Programme10 -10.30: Welcome Professor Nicholas Canny10.30- 12.30: Professor Margaret Higonnet“Breaking Down and Building Up: Women\, War and Modernism”A number of feminist critics have contested the absence of women from British modernism and noted the anxieties about gender that mark the masculine “high modernist” canon.  This comparative study builds on their work to suggest that the politicization of European women around suffrage and the costs of World War I triggered the creation of stunning experimental works of literature and art. Today many of these avant-garde artists and writers have begun to gain a reputation\, joining the ranks of Woolf and Stein. But the radicalism of their work still remains in a troubled relationship to modernism.  Their absence from the cultural history of modernism reflects a reception filtered through gendered assumptions about proprieties in style\, conduct\, and social attitudes. To recognize women’s ironic play with traditional beliefs and forms such as the love poem or the elegy is the first step toward a reassessment of their contribution to the ruptures wrought by modernism. 12.30- 2.00 Lunch 2.00- 4.00: Professor Mario Perniola “The Stalling of Western Aesthetics and the Rising of Oriental Thought”While several non-European cultures are producing novel aesthetic conceptualizations autonomous from the Western tradition (starting though from a profound knowledge and engagement with it)\, Western thought has undergone a paradigmatic shift which has dramatically altered the essential relation between society and aesthetics.It appears as if the continuation of the process of modern development started in the XVIII Century with Illuminism was brought to a halt by the two tragic catastrophes of the First and Second World War. The society that emerged in the second part of the twentieth century found it impossible to resume the civic progress commenced in the previous centuries. Aesthetics\, intended here not so much as an academic discipline as a collective mode of being\, had been jettisoned. What we confront today is a hiatus between the people and the heirs of modernity. While the former have been gradually subjugated by the culture of the mass-media\, the logic of profit\, and the hope of wealth heralded and introduced by technology\, the latter have lost purchase on imagination and emotion. Attention is now drawn to the modernization underway in Oriental thought\, which as opposed to the Western one has not severed the links with its tradition. 4.00- 4.30 Break 4.30- 5.30 General discussion with Margaret Higonnet and Mario Perniola Margaret Higonnet\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut\, has taught at George Washington University and the Universities of Munich and Santiago de Compostela. A past President of the American Conference on Romanticism and of the American Comparative Literature Association\, she cochairs the Study Group on Gender\, Society\, and Politics at Harvard’s Center for European Studies. She also created the Gender Studies Committee of the ICLA and is now President of the ICLA committee that publishes a major series of comparative literary histories.  Her theoretical interests have ranged from the romantic roots of modern literary theories (Bachelard and Benjamin) to the intersection of feminist theory and comparative literature\, as in the volumes Borderwork (1995)\, Gender in Literary History\, CCS 6.2 (2009)\, and Comparatively Queer (2010). Her work on gender issues in the nineteenth century is represented by British Women Poets of the Nineteenth Century (1996) and The Sense of Sex: Feminist Perspectives on Hardy (1992)\, as well as Penguin and Oxford editions of two Thomas Hardy novels. Much of her recent scholarship has been devoted to the literature of World War I\, in articles and in Behind the Lines (1987)\, Lines of Fire (1999)\, Nurses at the Front (2001)\, and Margaret Hall’s Letters and Photographs from the Battle Country\,1918  –  1919 (forthcoming). She has taught courses as well on “Word and Image\,” suicide\, and children’s literature; she edited the journal Children’s Literature for seven years.
