SUMMARY:Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, NUI Galway  PhD Research Symposium 2017
DESCRIPTION:The annual PhD research day of the Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, NUI Galway will be held on Monday May 29th. \nHuston currently has ten PhD students engaged in a variety of pioneering research projects\, both traditional and practice-based. These include projects examining punk cinema\, digital comics\, what New Media can learn from film\, video and altermodernity\, comedy in contemporary art practice\, awe and the sublime in cinema\, augmented reality\, media practices and Irish identity in the United Kingdom\, and transnational science-fiction. Huston’s research day will also include a screening of the essay film Dúshlán Lurgan (The Lurgan Challengem)\, the final project of Huston practice-based PhD candidate Uinsionn Mac Dubhghaill. Dúshlán Lurgan  examines the production of Irish-language versions of popular music videos in English at Coláiste Lurgan\, an Irish summer college in Connemara. The guest speaker for this year’s research day is Dr. Roddy Flynn (Dublin City University) who will be presenting on the topic of “Broken beyond repair? Irish Broadcasting policy in the 21st century”. Dr Flynn is Chair of the MA in Film and Television at the School of Communications\, Dublin City University. He writes and researches extensively on film and broadcasting policy in Ireland and Europe and is author (with John Horgan) of Irish Media History to be published by Four Courts Press in Autumn 2017. \nThe Huston School of Film & Digital Media is the leading centre for research and teaching in film and digital media in the West of Ireland. The school offers teaching and research programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels (up to PhD)\, including pioneering MA degrees in Film Studies: Theory and Practice\, Film Production and Direction\, Digital Media\, Arts Policy and Practice\, Public Advocacy and Activism\, and Film and Theatre. \nSamples of film work and ongoing research in Huston is also available at https://www.youtube.com/user/hustonfilmschool \nRoddy Flynn bio and abstract \nBio: Dr Roddy Flynn is Chair of the MA in Film and Television at the School of Communications. Dublin City University. He writes and researches extensively on film and broadcasting policy in Ireland and Europe and is author (with John Horgan) of “Irish Media History” to be published by Four Courts Press in Autumn 2017. \nAbstract: Irish broadcasting has experienced a succession of “perfect storms” since the beginning of this century. An increasingly crowded marketplace has meant intensive competition for audiences and advertising revenue: Irish advertisers could place their commercials on five channels in 2000 but in 2017 there are 48\, most of which are based overseas. There is also increasing competition from non-linear television: having launched in 2012\, Netflix is available in one in five Irish homes and in late 2016 was joined by Amazon Prime. Though radio and television have retained audiences in absolute terms (indeed the Irish as a while watch more daily television in 2017 than they did in 2007)\, they face increasing competition for attention from other screen media: by 2015\, media accessed online were not merely on a par with with television as a source of news for Irish audiences but far exceeded the influence of print and radio as media. The ongoing impact of the post-2008 crash has seen broadcast revenues collapse while appeals to the state for greater public funding have largely fallen on deaf ears (due in part to European Commission restrictions on state aid to public broadcasters). This presentation seeks to delineate the various political\, economic\, social and technical influences on the current Irish broadcasting landscape\, to identify their impact and to prognosticate as to the likely future shape of broadcasting in Ireland.

SUMMARY:'A Product of the Slums': The Degenerate Body in Liam O'Flaherty's The Informer-  Talk by Laura Lovejoy
DESCRIPTION:“Concepts of degeneration came to constitute one of the foremost expressions of state power as Ireland transitioned to a fully independent state with its own constitution between 1922 and 1937. During the Free State period\, the framework of degeneration was profoundly manifest in the state’s framing and treatment of issues of moral and social hygiene\, and a social preoccupation with the degeneration of Irish culture came to constitute a key aspect of the specific form biopower took in the Irish postcolonial state. In particular\, discourses emerged which centred on the human body as a focal point of national degeneration. This talk considers how Liam O’Flaherty’s novel The Informer (1925)\, a thriller set in the slums of post-revolutionary Dublin\, depicts the Irish body in decline. Situating O’Flaherty’s portrayals of the pathological male and female body in the context of Free State fears of moral\, cultural\, and biological degeneracy\, the talk considers how O’Flaherty’s naturalistic reflection of degenerationist cultural anxieties may distinguish him from modernist contemporaries and successors.” \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:#50isEnough:  Israeli Civil Society Confronts the Occupation - Talk by Daniel Sokatch
DESCRIPTION:#50isEnough:  Israeli Civil Society Confronts the Occupation \nThe Occupation is now 50 years old and the current political leadership in Israel seems intent on silencing Israelis who want to see it end. Indeed\, the debate over the Occupation – and the damage it is doing to both Palestinian society and Israeli democracy – has been removed from the center of public discourse in Israel.  But no problem that is swept under the rug will ever be solved\, and Israeli activists are pushing back. We will examine the roots of the conflict and of the Occupation\, discuss the impact it has had on both Palestinians and Israelis\, and survey some of the strategies Israeli civil society organizations are implementing to challenge the status quo during these challenging times. \n  \n \nDaniel J. Sokatch is the Chief Executive Officer of the New Israel Fund (NIF)\, the leading organization committed to equality and democracy for all Israelis. Before joining NIF\, Sokatch served as the Executive Director of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco\, the Peninsula\, Marin and Sonoma Counties. Prior to his tenure at Federation\, he served as the founding Executive Director of the California-based Progressive Jewish Alliance (now known as Bend the Arc). \nIn recognition of his leadership\, Sokatch has been named to the Forward newspaper’s “Forward 50\,” an annual list of the fifty leading Jewish decision-makers and opinion-shapers\, in 2002\, 2005 and 2008 and 2010.Daniel has an MA from the Fletcher School at Tufts University\, a JD from Boston College Law School\, and a BA from Brandeis University. He is married with two daughters and resides in San Francisco. \n

SUMMARY:Modern Languages and the Making of 'Citizens of the World': Recapturing the Values of a Discipline at Odds with Current Political and Educational Contexts' Talk by Marion Krauthaker
DESCRIPTION:By Dr. Marion Krauthaker \n \nIn this seminar\, Marion will present the early findings of an ongoing pedagogical research project on Modern Foreign Languages. Looking back at the roots of MFL teaching in the UK has enabled me to retrace its original mission and to better pinpoint the disconnections between its founding values\, its current perception and the Western educational context. In the UK\, the discipline has already been and continues to be greatly affected by recent market-driven and neo-liberal educational policies and I suggest that one of the responses to this worrying situation is to recapture and raise awareness on the mission of the discipline. Looking at MFL curricula in the UK\, MFL stands out through its crucial contribution to the education of future citizens; in addition to linguistic skills\, MFL does indeed provide students with a variety of skills that may not be on the current educational neoliberal agenda\, but are nevertheless fundamental to the development of rounded and reflective citizens and professionals. I will present the key elements that seem to make MFL the ideal locus where students develop an awareness on questions of diversity\, equality and inclusion and are equipped with essential critical tools to become ‘citizens of the world’. The presentation will be followed by some time for a collective discussion to develop some of the key points and compare the findings with the Irish context. \nAll welcome!

SUMMARY:Sport & Exercise Research Group Seminar 'Sport and homophobia in France: Twenty years of research'
DESCRIPTION:Sport & Exercise Research Group \nMonthly Research Seminar (First Wednesday of each month) \n \nSport and homophobia in France: Twenty years of research – Featuring Professor Philippe Liotard \nFrom 1997 (Eurogames in Paris) to 2018 (Gay Games in Paris)\, LGBT’s sport spread in two directions. On the one hand\, an associative sports network has developed which prepares people for the Gay Games and organizes everyday sport practice\, most of the clubs being linked to the French Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation (FSGL). On the other hand\, LGBT’s sport is a tool for fighting homophobia. Firstly\, because LGBT’s sport has been created on the shared emotional experience of homophobia\, offering a safe environment for athletes. And secondly\, the main concern of this talk\, because regular international sports events are used to promote a positive image of LGBT people with a collective vigilance emerging in the media since the mid-2000’s. \n  \nProfessor Philippe Liotard is a lecturer and researcher based at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon – Université Lyon 1 who works in the area of sport and discrimination. He has published a range of books with a specific focus on gender discrimination\, including Le sport dans les sixties. Pratiques\, valeurs\, acteurs (Reims\, Éditions et presses universitaires\, 2016) and Sport et homosexualités (Montpellier\, Editions Quasimodo et Fils\, 2008). \n \nAll Welcome!

SUMMARY:Talk by Visiting Fellow Hywel Griffiths on 'Historic perceptions of flooding in rural Ireland'
DESCRIPTION:All Welcome! \nHywel Griffiths-  Department of Geography and Earth Sciences\, Aberystwyth University \nCurrent predictions of the impacts of climate change on environmental and social systems have brought human-environment interactions into sharp relief\, and have further highlighted the importance of understanding the historical and cultural contingencies of people’s perceptions of the environment. The value of historical documents such as diaries\, newspaper reports\, personal correspondence\, estate records\, church records\, tax records\, school log-books and creative literature for investigating historical weather has been demonstrated in many settings. Such documents have a dual value in that they can be used to extend and augment limited existing instrumented records of flooding\, drought or snowfall\, for example\, but also can be a window into individual and social and cultural perceptions of historical weather events or the environment more generally. This talk presents preliminary findings from analysis of historical newspapers and the Vice-regal Commission on Arterial Drainage (Ireland) of 1905-6. These sources not only allow a reconstruction of historical floods in rural Ireland\, but also provide insights into public perceptions of flooding and its causes (including siltation of river channels and a lack of management)\, adaptation strategies (particularly in agricultural contexts) and attitudes towards responsibility for management of rivers and drainage in a period of changing land ownership and conflicting water-related interests.
