SUMMARY:Award-winning Japanese film director Kazuhiro SODA coming to University of Galway
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Japanese film director Kazuhiro SODA coming to University of Galway and  PALAS \nTHURSDAY FEBRUARY 29TH \nRenowned Japanese documentary filmmaker\, Kazuhiro SODA is visiting Galway  for a workshop and a screening of his award-winning documentary ZERO (2020). His visit is presented by the School of English Media and Creative Arts\, University of Galway in association with the East Asia Film Festival Ireland [www.eaffi.ie] \nSoda is a multi-award-winning director\, screenwriter\, cinematographer\, producer\, and author. After spending several years in New York producing documentaries for NHK [Japanese national broadcaster]\, he returned to his native Japan to direct his first ‘Observational Film’ – a term and approach to filmmaking that he would make his own through his ‘ten rules.’ \nCAMPAIGN (2007) went on to win the prestigious Peabody Award for Best Documentary. \nSubsequent films garnered additional awards including MENTAL (Best Documentary\, Busan International Film Festival 2008); PEACE (Best Documentary\, Hong Kong International Film Festival 2010) and ZERO (Ecumenical Prize\, Berlin International Film Festival 2020). His latest film\, THE CATS OF GEOKOGO SHRINE premieres at the Berlinale Film Festival in March 2024. \nZERO – screening on Feb 29th at PALAS cinema – is Soda’s most widely celebrated film to date. \nIt follows the final months in the working life of Dr. Yamamoto\, the humane psychiatrist first encountered in MENTAL. Within a culture where mental disorders are often derided and stigmatised\, Yamamoto has created a space of refuge and support for his patients where they are permitted and empowered to be themselves. The resulting film opens up a space for questioning attitudes to mental illness and standardised treatments and is by turns both touching and humorous. \nNow 80 years of age and carer to his beloved wife Yoshiko\, Yamamoto must retire and say goodbye to his patients. A loving look at care and ageing\, the film exemplifies Soda’s non-judgmental and deeply humane approach to his subjects\, offering themes and insights that resonate far beyond their local context. \n\nOn Thursday\, Feb 29th there will be a discussion with Soda about his work in MAIRTIN O’TNUTHAIL THEATRE [Arts Millennium 1023] 4:00-5:15 pm\n\n\nThis will be followed by a screening of the film ZERO at the PÁLÁS cinema at 6:00 pm and a Q&A between the director and Dr Tony Tracy [Huston School of Film].\n\nStudent tickets are just €5 – but please register with tony.tracy@universityofgalway.ie in advance! \nTickets for ZERO screening are available at hkps://www.palas.ie/film/zero-director-qa-with-kazuhirosoda \nFor more information on Kazuhiro Soda’s films and work\, visit: https://www.kazuhirosoda.com

SUMMARY:Remembering and Restoring the Past to Ensure the Future: Religious Sites of Minneapolis and St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to an online seminar with Marilyn J. Chiat\, Ph.D. and Jeanne Halgren Kilde\, Ph.D. on 5th March 2024 at 4pm GMT: \nRemembering and Restoring the Past to Ensure the Future: Religious Sites of Minneapolis and St. Paul \nThis online seminar is a collaboration between the Centre for the Study of Religion at University of Galway and the Material and Cultural Heritages of Religion in Ireland research network (MCHRI). \nTo register\, please use this link: https://forms.office.com/e/2JWyg9CrAA \nIf you have any difficulty in registering\, please contact alison.forrestal@universityofgalway.ie \nTopic and Speakers: \n(Image: Synagogue erected in 1926 by the Tifereth B’nai Jacob congregation\, Purchased in 1957 by the First Church of God in Christ. Approved by the Minnesota State Historical Preservation Office for nomination to the National Register for Historic Places. Image from the Houses of Worship project website.) \nWhat do the histories of\, and the continued research on\, various local congregations and houses of worship in Minneapolis-St. Paul teach us about how communities are created\, relationships are built\, and how inter- and intra- congregational interactions are lived out? In this presentation\, Dr. Marilyn J. Chiat and Dr. Jeanne Halgren Kilde will introduce their Twin Cities Houses of Worship Project\, which has collected data on over 250 congregations and over 500 sites related to religious and ethnic groups who settled and developed nine neighborhoods along the Mississippi River in St. Paul and Minneapolis between 1849 and 1924. They will also focus on one case study\, a building erected by Orthodox Jews and later purchased by Black Pentecostals\, exploring the distinctive but overlapping histories of the two congregations and discussing the importance of historical research of this kind in bringing historians\, preservationists\, community leaders\, activists\, and others together across lines of religious and ethnic difference in the effort to restore\, remember\, and revitalize historic houses of worship in our region. \nGuest speakers: \nMarilyn J. Chiat\, Ph.D. received her doctorate in Art History from the University of Minnesota.  Her dissertation on ancient synagogue architecture was published by Brown University under the title Handbook of Synagogue Architecture.  Her focus is on the role religious architecture plays in communities\, providing insight into the history of congregants and the larger cultural context in which they exist.  She has published and lectured widely on this topic here and abroad.  Among her other publications is America’s Religious Architecture:  Sacred Places for Every Community\, commissioned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and published by John Wiley & Sons\, The Sacred Traveler:  Chicago and Illinois\, part of the Sacred Traveler Series published by Paulist Press\, and North American Churches from Chapels to Cathedrals\, published by Publications International. \n \nJeanne Halgren Kilde\, Ph.D. Director Emerita of the Religious Studies Program at the University of Minnesota.  A cultural historian of religion in the United States\, Kilde holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Minnesota. Her primary research focus is on religious space and architecture. Among her publications are the monographs When Church Became Theatre: The Transformation of Evangelical Architecture and Worship (Oxford University Press\, 2002); and Sacred Power\, Sacred Space: An Introduction to Christian Architecture (Oxford University Press\, 2008); and the edited volume\, the Handbook of Religious Space and Place (Oxford University Press\, 2022). With Marilyn Chiat\, she is co-lead researcher on the Houses of Worship in the Twin Cities Project.  She is also working on a study of the development of “spirituality” and “spiritual” architecture in the 1950s and 1960s.

SUMMARY:Digital Humanities Research Group seminar: ‘Two new resources for manuscript studies: network graphs\, linked open data\, open-access publishing\, natural language processing’
DESCRIPTION:The second Digital Humanities Research Group seminar of this semester will take place on Wednesday 6 March 12pm in room THB-G010 (Hardiman Research Building). \nPádraic Moran\, Classics\, University of Galway\n‘Two new resources for manuscript studies: network graphs\, linked open data\, open-access publishing\, natural language processing.’ \nThis talk will discuss Digital Humanities aspects of work in progress on two online resources for the study of early manuscript culture: Manuscripts with Irish Associations (MIrA) <http://www.mira.ie> and Gloss Corpus <http://www.glossing.org/glosscorpus>. The former is an online catalogue\, with images\, for manuscripts either originating in Ireland or written by Irish scribes abroad\, or associated with Ireland in other ways. The latter is a collaborative resource for digital editions of glosses\, that is\, short texts written between the lines and in the margins of manuscripts. I will provide a short introduction to both resources\, with some comments on technical infrastructure and digital sustainability. For MIrA\, I will discuss the deployment of network graphs and critical issues surrounding their interpretation. I will also outline current efforts to a create an international network of Linked Open Data for early medieval Latin manuscripts. For Gloss Corpus\, I will explain the concept and practice of open-access publishing as applied here and discuss plans for the application of data analytics using natural language processing. \nYou may register to attend via Zoom here:\nhttps://forms.office.com/e/CvkPkh39sJ \nFull programme:\nhttps://mooreinstitute.ie/event/digital-humanities-research-seminar-series-spring-2024/

SUMMARY:University of Galway History Research Seminar: Rethinking Veterancy from the Colonies
DESCRIPTION:University of Galway History Research \nRethinking Veterancy from the Colonies \nDr Dónal Hassett (University College Cork) \n  \nBiography \nDr Dónal Hassett is Senior Lecturer in French at University College Cork. His research has two main focuses: the history of the French Empire\, in particular North Africa\, and the legacies of conflict\, especially veteran studies. He is primarily interested in how those who participated in military conflicts in the colonial world grappled with the legacies of war in peacetime. His work seeks to bring together the approaches used by historians of the colonial word with the analyses of those who study veterancy to lay the foundations for a global history of the war veteran. He has published widely on these topics and his first monograph\, Mobilizing Memory: The Great War and the Language of Politics in Colonial Algeria\, 1918-1939\, appeared in August 2019 with Oxford University Press. Dónal was also recently awarded an ERC Starting Grant of €1.2 million for a project titled COLVET – Ex-soldiers of Empire: Colonial Veterancy of the Interwar World. \nRegistration \nThis is a hybrid event. The paper will be delivered in-person\, in Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building\, University of Galway (ground floor) and livestreamed simultaneously on Zoom: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/j/92657616291. \nSeminars are not recorded. \nTo attend via Zoom\, please register at: https://forms.office.com/e/vuiCM5FvtH \nThis talk is part of the University of Galway History Seminar series and is co-hosted with the Centre for the Investigation of Transnational Encounters (CITE).  \nThe event will be followed by a reception with tea\, coffee\, and pastries.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED! Margaret Heavey Memorial Lecture 2024
DESCRIPTION:Regrettably\, we have had to postpone the Margaret Heavey Memorial Lecture planned for 12 March. We hope to hold the lecture on a future date. \nMargaret Heavey Memorial Lecture 2024\nProf. Isabelle Torrance (University of Aarhus) \n “A Trip to the Moon: Lucian\, Irish Satire and Migration History” \nFor background on the lecture series (and details for access via Zoom) see here:\nhttps://www.universityofgalway.ie/classics/events/heavey/ \nAbstract: \nA Trip to the Moon by Mr Murtagh McDermot is a little-studied 18th-century Irish satire\, published hot on the heels of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. It reports extraordinary encounters with animal-human hybrids\, the lunar monarch and his court\, Pythagoreans\, an underwater cave where poetry is created with anvils and hammers\, the discovery of the Philosopher’s stone\, and a moon language learned by ingesting boiled books. \nThis talk will introduce the text and will put forward three interconnected arguments on classical reception\, political satire\, and migration history. First\, the significance of Lucian’s Vera Historia (True History) for framing the narrative will be mapped out. Second\, the insistence on Irish identity and politics within this satire will be highlighted as distinctive within 18th-century Irish Utopian literature. Finally\, it will be suggested that the imagined experiences of migration satirized in A Trip to the Moon should be read against the backdrop of the first large waves of migration from Ulster to North America.

SUMMARY:Centre for Creative Technologies Masterclass Series: A Singular Harmony: on the Kinematics of Creativity & the Language of Intel
DESCRIPTION:A Singular Harmony: on the Kinematics of Creativity & the Language of Intel\n\n\n\n\nPart of the Masterclasses @ Centre for Creative Technologies collection \n\n\n\n\nDr Cissie Fu\, Head of School\, McNally School of Fine Arts at Lasalle University of the Arts Singapore \nJoin us for the next in the masterclass series run by the Centre for Creative Technologies\, where we welcome Dr Cissie Fu\, Head of School\, McNally School of Fine Arts at Lasalle University of the Arts Singapore. \n\n\nAbstract \n“We are pressed into lines\, just as lines are the accumulation of such moments of pressure\,” writes Sara Ahmed in Queer Phenomenology (2006)\, to which this anachronistic rejoinder from Virginia Woolf’s “Craftsmanship” (1937) rings resonant\, still: “[Some words] show no trace of the strange\, of the diabolical power which words possess when they are not tapped out by a typewriter but come fresh from a human brain.” \nBy tracing the geometries of movement that liberate various structures of form and metre\, this masterclass invites us to risk intervention through variable foot and cadence units\, towards crafting invention with more-than-human intelligences\, algorithmic or heuristic\, artificial or indigenous. Let us consider the conditions under which\, in the poetic prose of William Carlos Williams’s Kora in Hell – Improvisations XXII (1970)\, “a thing known passes out of the mind into the muscles” and compose lines of flight that converge and diverge into a neuropolyphony. \nSpeaker Biography \nDr Cissie Fu (AB Harvard; MSt\, MSc\, DPhil Oxford) is a political theorist and co-founder of the Political Arts Initiative\, which invites 21st-century imag-e-nations of the political through digital technology and the creative and performing arts. \nBorn in Hong Kong\, Cissie taught and performed across cultural and educational institutions in Asia\, Europe\, UK\, and the Americas. She recently joined University of the Arts Singapore as Head of the McNally School of Fine Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts\, after having served as Dean of the Faculty of Culture + Community at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver and earlier as Director of Studies at Leiden University College in The Hague. \nCissie’s research connects politics\, philosophy\, and performance. Her interests in relational aesthetics and decolonial action\, combined with her experiments in experiential and transformative organisational design\, inform her approach to institution-building as a creative\, critical and communal cultural practice. \nRegistration\nPlease register via Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/a-singular-harmony-on-the-kinematics-of-creativity-the-language-of-intel-tickets-855863188837

SUMMARY:Children’s Studies Research Seminar: “Home is Where the Cat is: Kinship and Community in Recent Children’s Literature about the Holocaust"
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Studies Research Seminar \n “Home is Where the Cat is: Kinship and Community in Recent Children’s Literature about the Holocaust” \n Professor Janneke van de Stadt (Williams College\, USA) \n  \nAbstract: \nAnimals abound in children’s literature and the picturebook genre is no exception. Focused on the particular role and function of their respective feline characters\, my presentation will compare three picture books and one graphic novel spanning the first two decades of the 21st century through what is a less-commonly utilized interpretive lens in Holocaust studies: indigenous cultural theories of human dependence on animals for psycho-social\, spiritual\, and existential survival. Through such themes as shelter\, bonding\, and nourishment\, on both physical and metaphysical levels\, I examine how these books broaden and complicate received notions of family\, community\, and belonging.

SUMMARY:MAPPING ATTENTION: YESTERDAY\, TODAY\, AND TOMORROW
DESCRIPTION:This project explores attention through literature. Join us in Galway\, April 2024 for an international conference Attention\, Yesterday\, Today\, Tomorrow. \nMAPPING ATTENTION: YESTERDAY\, TODAY\, AND TOMORROW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstracts are invited for paper presentations for an interdisciplinary conference on the theories\, practices and beneficiaries of attention. Anxiety about\, critique of\, and interventions into the ‘attention economy’ are widely discussed in philosophical scholarship\, educational theory and cultural studies. This conference\, which is part of the AIRE Attentive Inquiry Reclaiming Environment research project\, funded by the Irish Research Council New Foundations Award aims to explore attention in three areas: theories of attention\, practices of attention and beneficiaries of attention. This project\, inspired by the shared focus on attention as a selfless gaze oriented toward reality in Weilian and Murdochian accounts\, is creating a Community of Inquiry focused on Murdoch’s novel The Unicorn as a vehicle for thinking about home\, environment and care. Reflections on\, and results of\, this research will be shared within the conference. \nKEY DATES:\nDeadline for submissions: Midnight GMT Monday 8th January EXTENDED DEADLINE FRIDAY JANUARY 19th \nConfirmation of acceptance: Monday 29th January \nConference dates: Thursday April 18th* – Friday April 19th \n*The conference will commence at 10am on the 18th \n\nFull project website is available here: AIRE – Attentive Inquiry Reclaiming Environment (wordpress.com)

SUMMARY:Translation Studies Network of Ireland (TSNI) Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:Translation Studies Network of Ireland Conference Programme \n25-26 April 2024 \nUniversity of Galway \nWe are delighted to host the 4th annual conference of the Translation Studies Network of Ireland at the University of Galway\, on April 25-26\, 2024. This year\, the theme of the conference is “Translation and Creativity”\, which mirrors our city’s proud tradition of combining grass roots creativity with the delivery of sophisticated arts and creative spectacles. \nThe way in which translation has intersected with creativity ranges from the Romantic stereotype of the creator as individual genius to the ultimate frontier of deep learning and machine translation. In this conference we wish to explore linguistic\, cultural\, modal\, disciplinary\, multimedia and performative creativity as it translates between forms\, languages\, people\, approaches and media. \nIf just before the turn of the millennium translation was seen as mainly dependent on the distance from the original\, as well as on print as the medium of choice\, it has steadily acquired a more dialogic and re-creational dimension\, becoming an integral part of the creative writing process to the point to which it can even create new literature in computer-mediated environments. With more attention paid to re-writing processes and sociolinguistic factors\, the “creative wave” in translation studies has encompassed processes such as self-translation\, re-translation\, multimodality\, hybridity and artistic expression. Finally\, and without exhausting the wealth of areas in which translators’ creativity plays a seminal role\, migration in the 21st century and other significant population displacements have increased our awareness of the importance of translation for new community building and have drastically reshaped the dynamics between norms and creativity. \nIn this conference we welcome any contributions introducing interdisciplinary approaches or mixed methods to study translation and creativity\, and we also welcome presentations which showcase creative practice in translation. \nA non-exhaustive list of possible topics for presentations includes: \n\nTranslation and/as creative writing\nTranslation\, creative media and multimodality\nCreativity in translation processes/workflows\nMachine translation and creativity\nInterdisciplinarity as creative approach\nCreativity and interpreting\nTranslation as an art form\nTranslation/ creativity/ environment\nMinority approaches to translation as creativity\nBeyond (in)visibility: claiming translators’ identity as creative individuals\nPlayfulness in translation\nTranslation\, transcreation and adaptation in multimodal contexts\nTranslation\, adaptation and subversion across different art forms\nCreative approaches to translation research methodology\nLimits and possibilities of human and computational creativity\nTranslation as creative approach in resilient community building\nCreativity in volunteer or professional settings\nCreativity and translation shift: novelty\, acceptability\, fluency and flexibility\nSocio-political agendas promoted or challenged by creative translational acts.\n\nCONFERENCE PROGRAMME is now available HERE. \nThere will also be a dedicated posters display during the conference.

SUMMARY:ISTR Conference 2024 – Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:ISTR Conference 2024 – Call for Papers \nNew Horizons – Race and Performance \nVillanova University\, Villanova Pennsylvania\, USA\, May 24-25\, 2024 \nThe host of the conference\, David Cregan\, OSA\, Ph.D. will organize an ISTR webinar in 2024 to share conference details and planning travel. \nKeynotes: \nJames Ijames MFA\, 2023 Pulitzer Prize Winner for his play Fat Ham \nhttps://www.jamesijames.com/ \nJustine Nakase Ph.D.\, theatre maker and scholar based in Portland\, OR. She received her PhD from the University of Galway\, where her research focused on race and identity in contemporary Irish performance. \nNew Horizons – Race and Performance: \nThis conference invites interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary scholars and artists\, including but not limited to: theatre and literary historians\, dramaturgs\, anthropologists\, cultural critics\, casting agents\, and theatre administrators engaged or interested in Irish identity in theatre and performance. The conference aims to advance the centuries old dialogue of race and identity in Irish culture and representation\, with an emphasis on current evolutions in identity and multiculturalism. We hope to explore new horizons by asking questions such as\, but not limited to: How has the postcolonial narrative evolved in Irish drama and performance and is it still applicable?  Is it possible that the repetition of narratives of oppression have locked artistic expression in the theatre into limitations of realism and identity\, thus limiting the possibilities of more diverse practices and more diverse articulations of identity?  Is Irish theatre and performance racist? What is beginning to emerge in the expression of Irish theatre and performance?  What is actually happening in Irish theatre\, and what more still needs to happen in response to diversity and inclusion? New Horizons welcomes new epistemologies\, practices\, and emergent possibilities in all aspects of theatre and performance. \nISTR 2024 hopes to engage querying conversations around emergent global realities and opportunities within Irish theatre scholarship and practice. The shifting nature of the globalization of identities\, migrant refugees\, climate change migration\, economic instability\, gender inequality\, homophobia\, human trafficking\, and ubiquitous political instability\, to name but a few\, are shifting human consciousness\, understanding\, and practices. The resulting shifts in rapidly changing continental populations at an ever accelerating rate are continually challenging more flexible notions and practices of what we call identity politics. Hosting the conference in the United States provides an opportunity explore the hybridization of identities indicative of the ‘melting pot’ notion is the USA. Through scholarly research\, human experience\, and prophetic visioning\, we hope to contribute new and diverse epistemologies\, both intellectual and practical to encourage and promote an evolution in Irish theatre and performance reflective of the basic reality of the human family.  We invite papers and presentations\, conversations and debates\, that name the current realities\, and envision the potentiality of a new world vision of respect and dignity advanced by the arts. \nPlease email abstracts of 250 words by March 15\, 2024\, including a brief bio: david.cregan@villanova.edu \nPlease click below for initial travel information and details. \nhttps://www1.villanova.edu/university/student-life/family/visit.html

SUMMARY:Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024: Slow Violence X Irish Studies - Call for Contributions
DESCRIPTION:Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024 \n Slow Violence X Irish Studies – Call for Contributions\n5-7 June 2024 \nWe welcome written abstracts and practice-based submissions in English\, Irish\, and French\, inspired by the theme of slow violence\, for the Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024. \nCoined over ten years ago in the influential Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor (2011)\, Rob Nixon challenged readers to consider the incremental and cumulative effects of “slow violence\,” expanding on more limited conceptualisations of violence as sensational\, explosive\, and episodic.  Nixon’s expansive term was initially employed to describe the “attritional lethality” of gradual\, and often invisible\, forms of environment violence\, such as deforestation and oil spills; yet\, at the interdisciplinary nexus of Irish Studies\, the conference’s conveners suggest that “slow violence” can be a theoretical springboard not only for conversations about the status and future of the environment in Ireland\, but also myriad social\, political\, and cultural “long emergencies.” \nPlease read our Call for Papers (available in English\, Irish\, and French) for further details. \nAll are available here: https://www.universityofgalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences-and-celtic-studies/geography-archaeology-irish-studies/disciplines/irish-studies/news/galwayconferenceofirishstudies2024/callforcontributions/ \nPlease submit your 250 word proposal and a brief bio (~50 words) by 15 December\, 2023 to irishstudies24@gmail.com. \n
