Dr Niamh Whitfield - Public Lecture: 'Ornament on the Ardagh Chalice: Hidden Meanings?'
2015-02-03 19:00
Dr Niamh Whitfield, currently based in London, will be presenting a series of lectures and seminars on Early Irish Art, 3rd-5th February 2015, in the Moore Institute, at the invitation of the MA in Medieval Studies and CAMPS (Centre for Antique, Medieval & Pre-Modern Studies).
Dr Niamh Whitfield
Public Lecture: ‰Û÷Ornament on the Ardagh Chalice: Hidden Meanings?’
The Ardagh chalice is an Irish version of a two-handled calix ministerialis, from which eucharistic wine was given to the congregation during Mass. It is often assumed that the patterns used to ornament it lack meaning and are purely decorative. This talk will challenge that assumption, and aims to show how the chalice’s liturgical function explains its design and particularly the symbolism of its decoration.
All interested postgraduates, staff and other researchers are invited to attend, but should contact Dr Kim LoPrete, kim.loprete@nuigalway.ie, in advance in order to ensure that materials are available for everyone.

Special Collections Lunchtime Lectures Series - "Bodies of knowledge : the early days of anatomy in Galway" by Alexander Black, Anatomy, School of Medicine.
2015-02-04 13:00
The Special Collections Lunchtime Lectures Series continues with “Bodies of knowledge : the early days of anatomy in Galway”
by Alexander Black, Anatomy, School of Medicine.
Anatomy was one of the founding departments of Queen’s College Galway in the 1840s. At the time anatomy was seen as a rather distasteful, if necessary, field of study, and had yet to be completely separated from its sibling discipline physiology. Anatomy is a visual and tactile subject, and perhaps relies on images and illustrations more than any other academic discipline. This talk will cover the early days of anatomy in Galway, and will illustrate the importance of anatomy to society, society to anatomy, and medical imaging to medicine. Some anatomy material from the Old Library Collection will be on display during the talk.
All are welcome

Charles Barr - Hitchcock, a Researcher's Tale
2015-02-05 14:30
Charles Barr – Hitchcock, a Researcher’s Tale
Alfred Hitchcock’s films continue to be so widely shown, discussed and analysed that ‰Û÷Hitchcock fatigue’ is understandable – do we really need more books about him? But some parts of his life and work have remained unexplored. A new book, filling some major gaps, will be published in March: Hitchcock, Lost and Found: The Forgotten Films. Co-author Charles Barr tells the story behind it: the motivation, the long research process in Europe and America, the findings, and the way these alter our sense of Hitchcock and of his place in film history.
His main research area continues to be British and Irish cinema history; he was co-writer, with its presenter Stephen Frears, of Channel 4’s centenary history, Typically British (1996). He also has work in progress on the Swedish director Victor Sjostrom and on the Hollywood melodramas of John M.Stahl. Prof Barr taught for many years at the University of East Anglia, helping to develop one of the pioneer centres for Film Studies at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and he has since held Visiting Professor posts in St Louis, Dublin and Galway. He was Adjunct Professor at Huston School of Film and Digital Media 2011-13. Prior to this he was Director of the Program in Film and Media at Washington University in St Louis. For thirty years he was based at the University of East Anglia (1976 to 2006) where he initiated and helped to build one of the UK’s leading centres for Film and TV Studies at undergraduate and graduate level.
Charles Barr is the recipient of a Moore Institute Visiting Research Fellowship.

Word-Bridges: Translation in Ireland Symposium
This symposium examines translation in Ireland with a particular focus on the years 1700-1900. The event brings together leading scholars to explore cultural exchange in Ireland and to assess how translation was used for informative, creative and transformative purposes. It will look at translation between Irish and English side by side with translation from other languages into English.

Prof Michael Cronin (DCU) will deliver a keynote entitled ‰Û÷The Empire talks back: Translation tales for the coming times’ (11.30-12.30) and Prof. Ann Thomson (EUI Florence) will deliver the second keynote on ‰Û÷Translators as historical actors in the long Eighteenth Century’ (17.00-18.00).
