SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Feminist Storytelling Network\, NUI Galway: Staging the Incarcerated Female Body: Records and Representations
DESCRIPTION:TO BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE \n  \nSponsored by: NUI Galway College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies Research Support Scheme\, Drama and Theatre Studies\, Gender ARC \nRegistration: Tickets (free) available on Eventbrite. \nFor queries\, please email Dr Miriam Haughton: ‘miriam.haughton@nuigalway.ie’. \nFor information on upcoming or past FSN events\, please check the website and social media: feministstorytelling.ie\, @feministstories \nOverview \nThis symposium considers official records and cultural representations regarding women’s experience in modern Ireland and Northern Ireland. In recent decades\, urgent histories led by scholars\, artists and activists have shed new insights into the systemic practices of incarcerating ‘deviant’ or ‘Othered’ women\, the threats faced by women due to the legal dominion that prescribes female embodiment\, the trafficking and illegal adoption of children\, and\, the significance of centring these experiences as part of modern discourse and consciousness. Decades of historical enquiry\, performance\, poetry\, literature\, visual and fine art\, documentary and recorded media capture both testimonial accounts and creative response. In this way\, they act as another type of canon\, one that explores the darker moments of Irish life\, where women’s experience – physically\, emotionally\, sexually\, culturally – was oppressed\, threatened and violated\, in explicit and insidious ways \nAreas of enquiry will include\, but are not limited to\, institutionalisation in Magdalen Laundries\, Mother and Baby Homes\, psychiatric institutions and prisons\, and the threats faced by those engaging in sex work or termination of pregnancies. However\, the interpretation of ‘incarceration’ will also extend to instances of limiting\, censoring and suppressing histories\, ideologies and experiences. Throughout the symposium\, students will deliver intermittent performance art encounters that become embedded into the event\, contributing to and reflecting the dialogue. \nSchedule \n10am: Registration\, Mick Lally Theatre\, Druid \nBeginning of performance art encounters throughout the theatre \n10.15: Opening Remarks \nProfessor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh\, President\, NUI Galway \nDr Miriam Haughton\, Drama and Theatre Studies \n10.45 – 11.30: The Tuam Oral Histories Project \nDr Sarah-Anne Buckley and Dr John Cunningham\, History\, NUI Galway \n11.30 – 12.15: Women and Illegal Adoption \nConall Ó Fátharta\, Journalist\, Irish Examiner \n12.15 – 1.00: Archiving institutionalisation: Legacies and Limitations \nDr Barry Houlihan\, Archivist\, NUI Galway \n1.00 – 2.00: Light lunch provided \nPerformance encounters ongoing \n2.00 – 2.45: Performing Women’s ‘Deviant’ Bodies \nDr Áine Phillips\, Lecturer and Performance Artist (Burren College of Art) \n2.45 – 3.15: Writing Women’s Internal Landscapes \nElaine Feeney\, Poet and Novelist \n3.15 – 4.00: Bodies of Evidence: Reading Mad Flesh \nDr Anna Harpin (Warwick) \n4.00 – 4.30: Concluding remarks \nRecommended Reading and Viewing \nLee Daniels (dir)\, Precious\, Lionsgate\, 2009 \nCaelainn Hogan\, Republic of Shame\, Penguin\, 2019 \nConall Ó Fátharta\, ‘State’s Reaction is to Deny\, Delay and to Buy Silence’\, The Irish Examinerhttps://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/specialreports/states-reaction-is-to-deny-delay-and-to-buy-silence-890976.html \nCatherine Corless\, ‘The Home’\, Journal of the Old Tuam Society\, 2012.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Modernist Studies Ireland: Works in Progress: ‘The Plagiarist's Philosophy: Coincidence in James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry’ and ‘Archival Remnants of Joyce’s Leopoldina and Woolf’s Orlanda’
DESCRIPTION:TO BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE \nModernist Studies Ireland is delighted to re-launch its Works in Progress series with a double act on Monday\, 16th March\, at 4 pm in THB—GO11. You are cordially invited to join us for what promises to be two fantastic talks by early career researchers\, shining a light on new research in Joyce studies as well as genetic criticism. Our speakers are Emily Bell\, NUIG alumna and now doctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium\, and Casey Lawrence\, a PhD candidate at Trinity College Dublin. \nEmily’s talk\, entitled ‘The Plagiarist’s Philosophy: Coincidence in James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry’\, will offer an imaginative solution to conceptualising intertextuality in Joyce’s oeuvre in connection with the late modernist Malcolm Lowry. It considers both the individual and dependent intertextualities of the works of Joyce and Lowry—two writers preoccupied by coincidence—as well as the impact this has on the possibility of originality. \nCasey’s talk\, elucidating the ‘Archival Remnants of Joyce’s Leopoldina and Woolf’s Orlanda’\, combines genetic study with a gender-critical approach in her analysis of how early drafts of Joyce’s and Woolf’s works independently push the boundaries of grammatical and sexual gender. Here\, Joyce and Woolf\, her talk reveals\, conflate the two (grammar and sex) and in so doing attempt to see beyond the binary\, so that man-becoming-woman is no longer fantasy\, but indeed part of the grammar of our everyday lives.

SUMMARY:School of Political Science & Sociology Seminar Series: Agitating for political rights: local and visiting suffragists of the West of Ireland
DESCRIPTION:By Mary Clancy (Global Women’s Studies) \nAt a time of heightened international debate about democratic and social change during the early decades of the twentieth century\, the place of the woman citizen remained contentious. The demand to extend the parliamentary franchise to qualified women\, debated in Westminster\, for instance\, since the mid-19th century\, was politically and socially divisive despite the democratic inevitability of its objective. Argument in favour of Irish Home Rule (especially from 1886) complicated the politics of the suffrage debate. The West of Ireland tends to be ignored in analyses of the suffrage campaign. However\, it is an exceptionally important and interesting space in which to study how and why the question of political rights for women was visible and\, on occasion\, volatile. From north Mayo to Galway\, local and visiting activists organised in civic and public spaces\, powerful representatives of an ignored political class. In reconstructing this history of regional suffrage activism\, the talk evaluates the nature of the agitation\, and the impact of a complex effort that embodied international ideals of women’s rights\, local political perspectives and memories of earlier women’s activism within the region. \nMary Clancy\, School of Political Science and Sociology\, NUI Galway. Publications include (forthcoming)\, with C Beaumont and L Ryan\, ‘Networks as “Laboratories of experience”: exploring the life cycle of the Irish suffrage movement and its aftermaths in Ireland\, 1870-1937’\, Women’s History Review and ‘Women’s suffrage in the West of Ireland: Different influences and Life-stories in Histories of Citizenship’\, Journal of the Galway Archaeological and Historical Society\, 2018\, (70)\, pp.119-130.

SUMMARY:Values and Identities Seminar: The Changing Virtues of the Hosting Language: Notes on the Philosophy of Translation by Dr. Gerald Cipriani
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gerald Cipriani will present a paper\, ‘The Changing Virtues of the Hosting Language: Notes on the Philosophy of Translation’\, as part of the Values and Identities seminar series on Monday 2nd March. \nDepending on whether translation leans toward objective rendering or subjective interpretation it will have different truth-functions. This paper reflects on the issues of truth-function at stake on both sides of the ‘hosting’ language (translation) when seeking to understand ‘otherness’ (original language). The paper will draw from particular examples of translation of Chinese thought such as the literal renderings of the Classics in Western languages\, Li Zehou’s concept of ‘subjectenity’ (zhutixing 主體性)\, and sinologist François Jullien’s Western-inverted ‘deconstruction’. The point here is not to establish validity in translation\, but to describe what are the cognitive and ethical implications when understanding in translation. \nGerald Cipriani teaches philosophy at NUI\, Galway. He is the Editor of Culture and Dialogue (Brill) and Co-Editor of Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology (Routledge). Currently Honorary Professor to the UNESCO Chair at the Russian Research Institute of Cultural and Natural Heritage\, Moscow. Previous publications in interpretive philosophy of art\, cultural ethics of French personalism and the Kyoto School\, and Chinese environmental aesthetics.

SUMMARY:School of Political Science & Sociology Seminar Series: 'The Four Dimensions of Power: Empowerment\, Domination and Democracy'
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is based upon Prof Haugaard’s forthcoming book The Four Dimensions of Power: Empower\, Domination and Democracy (MUP – July 2020)\, which explores the nature and workings of social and political power\, through four dimensions\,  throwing into relief different aspects of power related phenomena. The analysis constitutes a new framework that builds upon contemporary theoretical perspectives of power\, including the work of Hannah Arendt\, Steven Lukes\, Michel Foucault\, Amy Allen\, Clarissa Hayward\, Anthony Giddens\, Pierre Bourdieu\, Stewart Clegg\, James Scott\, Gene Sharp\, John Searle and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The first dimension of power concerns agency between actors\, including analysis of coercion\, violence and authority. The second dimension involves structural bias\, conflict and resistance\, including both revolutionary and non-violent resistance. The third dimension concerns tacit knowledge\, uses of truth\, and reification. This book moves beyond critique of ideology\, developing Foucauldian/Nietzschean theories of power/knowledge without nihilistic relativism by distinguishing different types of truth claim. The fourth dimension concerns the power to create social subjects\, drawing both genealogical theory\, Norbert Elias on restraint and Orlando Patterson on social death in slavery. \nAs both a sociologist and political theorist\, I distinguish sociological from normative claims. While the four dimensions stem from sociological theory\, I will also explore a normative pragmatist power-based political theory of democracy and rights. This has significant implications for critiques of contemporary populism and neo-liberalism. \nMark Haugaard is Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the National University of Ireland\, Galway\, Ireland. He is the founder editor of the Journal of Political Power\, published by Routledge\, and a book series\, Social and Political Power\, with Manchester University Press. He has published extensively upon power\, and his most recent publications includes ‘What is authority?’ Journal of Classical Sociology\, 2018(2): 104-132 and (forthcoming) The Four Dimensions of Power\, 2020\, Manchester University Press

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Bede and Time by Maírín MacCarron
DESCRIPTION:Bede and Time is published in the Routledge series Studies in Early Medieval Britain and Ireland and provides the first integrated analysis of Bede’s thought on time. This approach allows for a greater understanding of Bede’s writings on time\, and illuminates the place of time and chronology in his other works\, including his creation of Anno Domini-dating as a historical chronology in his most famous work\, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People. My book argues that in innovatively combining computus\, theology and history\, Bede transformed his contemporaries’ understanding of time and chronology. \nAbout the Author: \nMáirín MacCarron is Lecturer in Digital Humanities at University College Cork\, having previously worked in the Dept of History at the University of Sheffield and held the NUI/Dr Garret FitzGerald postdoctoral fellowship at NUI Galway. She is Co-Investigator of the Leverhulme Trust-funded project\, ‘Women\, Conflict and Peace: Gendered Networks in Early Medieval Narratives’.

SUMMARY:Values and Identities Seminar: Retrospection and Revaluation in Nietzsche: Overcoming our Evolution in the Pursuit of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Ashling McEvaddy\, IRC funded PhD candidate in Philosophy\, will present a paper\, ‘Retrospection and Revaluation in Nietzsche: Overcoming our Evolution in the Pursuit of Freedom’ as part of the Values and Identities seminar series on Monday 24th February \nTime: 3 pm \nVenue: Tom Duddy seminar room\, Philosophy Building\, Morrisroe House\, 19 Distillery Road \nALL WELCOME \nAbstract: For Nietzsche\, in order to qualify as ‘free’ individual\, one must be capable of self-regulation and self-creation\, of legislating one’s own values. Such freedom is a future possibility\, but only if we first overcome our past evolution\, and its current presence within us. Nietzsche sees the evolution of man as a ‘herd animal’ as a necessary stage of early human development\, but its necessity is of temporal and sociohistorical specificity. Our failure to move beyond this stage prevents further evolution\, evolution that is necessary if we are to ever attain the status of a ‘free spirit’ (freigeist). In this paper\, I explore how it is that we have remained so entrenched in this herd mentality\, and the necessity of undergoing a genealogical study of our evolution to both become aware of the dangers of remaining in this state\, and to acquire the means to move beyond it. In order to appreciate Nietzsche’s positive account of evolution\, I also look at his negative account – what evolution is not – for his rejection of the prevalent 19th century teleological and moral-foundationalist evolutionary models plays a crucial role\, both in the explanation of our stunted development thus far\, as well as in the formation of his positive account as grounded in his Will to Power ontology and his understanding of the world as Becoming. This genealogical study is necessary for the possibility of freedom as it is only by means of acknowledging our problematic relationship to the past\, and its continued affectivity within us\, that we become aware of the fact that we are not actually free at all. This realization in turn awakens us to the necessity of overcoming this arrested state if we are to ever attain genuine freedom. \nhttps://mooreinstitute.ie/research-group/values-identities/ \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: The Alchemical Prince:  Enlightenment\, Freemasonry\, and Cultural Nationalism  In Eighteenth-Century Naples
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, Prof. Enrico Dal Lago\, NUI Galway will focus on the life and achievements of Raimondo Di Sangro\, Prince of San Severo (1710-1771). A high profile member of the court nobility in the eighteenth-century Kingdom of Naples\, San Severo was a polymath\, with interests that spanned the entire spectrum of human knowledge\, from the sciences to the arts and to the ancient civilisations and languages. However\, he is best remembered for his unorthodox interest in Alchemy and his affiliation to Freemasonry\, of which the San Severo Chapel in Naples is a clear proof\, since – I argue – it is really a disguised representation of a Masonic temple. As a result of San Severo’s connection with esoteric thought and practices\, his popular image remains that of a magician\, famously immortalised by Benedetto Croce. However\, I argue that\, behind this image lay a profoundly inquisitive mind\, representative\, together with Pietro Giannone and Giambattista Vico\, among others\, of the extraordinary period of the Neapolitan Enlightenment. Each in their own field\, these prolific and innovative intellectuals\, supported by the Bourbon Kings\, created the backbone of a distinctive eighteenth-century cultural tradition\, which became the foundation of the idea of a Neapolitan nation. \nEnrico Dal Lago is Professor of American History at NUI Galway. He has written extensively on comparative slavery\, on the United States in the era of the American Civil War\, on Italy in the age of Risorgimento\, and on the U.S. South and the Italian Mezzogiorno. His research interests focus particularly on nation-building in social\, political\, and cultural terms and in comparative perspective. His latest publication is Civil War and Agrarian Unrest: The Confederate South and Southern Italy (Cambridge University Press\, 2018). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: Mobilizing Digital Tools for Academic Research: The State Funding for Social Movements Project
DESCRIPTION:A seminar by Moore Institute Visiting Fellow\, Prof Dominique Clément\, University of Alberta \n\nThe State Funding for Social Movements research team brings together scholars from universities across Canada in history\, political science and sociology. Our team has developed an innovative new database (database.statefunding.ca) and digital archive that lists grants from governments in Canada to non-governmental organizations since 1960. Our project demonstrates\, among other things\, how digital tools enable small teams of scholars to collect immense amounts of data using modest resources. At the same\, it raises important methodological questions around the viability of such projects\, the availability of university resources\, and the applicability of digital technologies to certain research topics. \nOur project has produced a new resource that will benefit policy-makers\, community organizations\, and researchers. It aims to help the non-profit sector by: \n\n(a) synthesizing and mobilizing best practices for digitizing and processing documents;\n(b) creating data dissemination strategies;\n(c) providing information on how to obtain data from governments; and\n(d) creating websites and open-access databases that are relevant to policy-makers and community organizations.\n\nPolicy makers will also benefit from this resource. There is no framework for organizing or sharing data on funding for non-governmental organizations in Canada. Even current data is so poorly organized (and sometimes not digitized) that ministries or cities lack a coherent picture of their own current or past practices. Our online portal will provide a forum to compare data across jurisdictions. \nSpeaker Bio\nDominique Clément is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta and a member of the Royal Society of Canada (CNSAS). He is an internationally recognized authority and Canada’s leading expert on the history of social movements and human rights. He is the author of Canada’s Rights Revolution\, Equality Deferred\, Human Rights in Canada and Debating Rights Inflation. Clément has been a Visiting Scholar in Australia\, Belgium\, China\, Ireland and the United Kingdom. His websites\, HistoryOfRights.ca and statefunding.ca\, serve as research and teaching portals on the study of human rights and social movements.
