2019-10-16 16:00 (Europe/Dublin) | Hardiman Research Building Room G011, Ireland
By Prof. Felipe Fernandez Armesto (University of Notre Dame)
As part of NUI Galway History Research Seminar Series Semester 1, 2019
This week’s History Research Seminar features world-renowned scholar and intellectual Prof. Felipe Fernandez Armesto speaking on the theme, “How to be Imperial: The Case of the Global Spanish Monarchy”. Armesto is William P. Reynolds Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and the author of over twenty books, many of which are best-sellers around the world. Most of these focus on early modern Spain and its expansion into the New World, but Armesto has also written several books on broader themes on a global scale, such as Truth: A History and Guide for the Perplexed (2010) and Pathfinders: A Global History of Exploration (2006), which has been translated into 27 languages. In 2019, he published The Oxford Illustrated History of the World and Out of Our Minds: What We Think and How We Came to Think It, a history of the power of imagination. Armesto is the recipient of two honorary doctorates and the Grand Cross of the Order of Alfonso X the Wise, Spain’s highest honour for contributors to science, scholarship, education, and the arts.

Creative Coding Meet-up
2019-10-16 15:00 - 16:00, 2019-10-09 15:00 - 16:00 | IT303, IT Building, NUI Galway, Ireland
This semester we’re going to run a weekly session for those interested in learning “creative coding”. This approach is a good way for those without any coding experience to develop a foundation in programming. The sessions will use online resources (see below) to guide self-directed learning.

Creative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. Interaction design, information visualization and generative art are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing artworks articulated as code. (via Awesome Creative Coding )

What can I expect?

This is a peer support group, not an instructor-led workshop / class.
It’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills, and to get some help, if you need it.
There are a collection of tutorial videos (bring headphones), online courses and reference material linked to in the “Further Details” section below, for you to work through at your own pace.

If you have no coding experience, and aren’t sure where or how to start, someone will help you.
Come along, meet people who are also learning to code, and get help if you run into any problems. Showing what you’re working on would be great too.
Further details
You can find further details, and learning resources, at: https://github.com/dh-nuigalway/Creative-Coding-Meetup. The sessions run on Wednesday from 3pm – 4pm, in IT 303, IT Building, NUI Galway.

Hamish Henderson Centenary
2019-10-10 17:00 | Hardiman Research Building Room G011, Ireland
The Department of Music at NUI Galway welcomes Fred Freeman, Professor of Traditional Music at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and former Moore Visiting Fellow who will play tribute to Hamish Henderson with a lecture in this, the centenary of his birth. Thursday, 10th October 2019, THB-G011 Seminar Room, 5.00 pm
Drawing song and verse examples from his C D tribute album, Fred considers one of the outstanding figures of the 20th-century: a man who accepted the surrender of Italy during
WW II; won the Somerset Maugham Prize for his war elegies (which bear comparison with Siegfried Sassoon or Wilfred Owen); was a prime mover for the founding The School of
Scottish Studies; influenced, quite directly, the course of 20th-century history.
His songs (like BALLAD OF THE D-DAY DODGERS, BANKS OF SICILY, RIVONIA & THE FREEDOM COME ALL YE) were sung by British soldiers and Italian partisans in the field of battle during WW II and by the freedom fighters of S. Africa throughout the 1960s. Moreover, his theories of art and the artist (which can be seen as an extension of the ideas of Antonio Gramsci) make him somewhat unique in the history of 20th-century literature in Britain. His achievement has been fully acknowledged by Nelson Mandela, Montale, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, E. P. Thomson and others. Currently, Professor of Scottish Music at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Fred Freeman is a graduate of Aberdeen and Edinburgh universities and was Senior Associate Member of St Antony’s College, University of Oxford for two years. He is author of numerous books and articles on Scottish literature, Scots language, folk music and history; was formally recognised by the ASLS with a lifetime Honorary Fellowship in 2014. Over the past decade, he has drawn upon his extensive musical background, producing over 47 (internationally acclaimed) CDs, including the only ever recorded “COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT BURNS” (Linn Records) and a Hamish Henderson tribute album, “A’ the bairns o Adam”.

Thinking the Empire Whole
2019-10-09 16:00 | Seminar Room G010, Hardiman Research Building
By Prof. Steve Pincus (University of Chicago)
As part of NUI Galway History Research Seminar Series Semester 1, 2019-20
Prof. Pincus describes himself as “a historian of Britain and its Empire, of comparative revolutions, comparative empires, and of northern Europe more broadly” and works mainly on the early modern period. His monographs include a comparative study of England and the Dutch Republic, England’s Glorious Revolution, and the American Declaration of Independence. He is currently working on a global history of the British Empire and a comparison of the Irish Revolution of 1782 and the American Revolution. For more details, see https://history.uchicago.edu/directory/steven-pincus
His paper on Wednesday is called “Thinking the Empire Whole”. It makes a case for getting beyond the teleologies of national and proto-national historiographies so as to capture both the dynamics of empire making and the trajectories of colonial resistance.

Do Witches Have Human Rights?
2019-10-04 14:00 | MY333, Aras Moyola
**postponed until further notice **
By Thomas Strong
A remarkable shift has occured in how we talk about witchcraft and sorcery. Whereas these topics have long occasioned critical reflection on belief and reason, or cultural difference and human universals, the new discourse describes witchcraft as a “human rights” problem and focuses on harms associated with it. This shift reflects the influence of a number of actors in both national and international settings, actors working with institutions of global governance to pressure national states to develop coherent legislative and social responses to witchcraft violence. In September 2017, the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner convened its first ever expert workshop on witchcraft and human rights in Geneva. A year later, the UN curated an exhibit of photographs about witchcraft directly outside the The Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Room in the Palais des Nations where the expert panel had convened. This paper presents an interpretation of this small exhibit and its imagery, highlighting the ways in which its representational sensibility symbolises the shift I have described: from ‘belief’ to ‘harm’ as the dominant topos shaping the intelligibility of witchcraft as a social phenomenon. When articulated in the context of human rights discourse, “witchcraft” requires not so much understanding, as witnessing. Thus, I examine the ways in which the photographs not only construct ‘victims,’ but also ‘witnesses.’ They depict bodies that ‘testify’ to their own suffering and survival, imagery which provokes a sense of moral responsibility in those who see it. Drawing on fieldwork in highland Papua New Guinea, I also reflect on what the photographs can’t show: witchcraft itself. I describe some of the moral and epistemological challenges of representing and responding to witchcraft phenomena, returning to the aporia contained within this question: Do witches have human rights?

European Cultural Identity Workshop at NUI Galway
2019-09-27 10:30 - 17:00 | Seminar Room G010, Hardiman Research Building
NUI Galway will host an Irish Research Council Funded Creative Connections Initiative, examining questions of European identity through a focus on the themes of sport and digital media.
The workshop will draw on a range of disciplines in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences (AHSS) and STEM areas from NUI Galway, Trinity College Dublin, and Queen’s University, Belfast to examine the topic of European cultural identity. Additional strands in the network will examine the themes of schooling and curriculum design, and landscape as key components of Europe’s shared cultural heritage and identity. These strands will be used as a prism through which participants will explore European cultural identity, its construction and current crisis.
NUI Galway partner in this initiative, Dr Seán Crosson of the University’s Huston School of Film & Digital Media and leader of the Sport and Exercise Research Group, said: “Sport annually engages millions of diverse people across Europe, both as participants and spectators. Participants engage in sport in a wide variety of competitive, educational, recreational and, increasingly, health-related contexts, while spectators attend sporting events or follow them via the mass media. Widespread engagement with sport, accelerated by considerable technological and digital media advancements, means that sporting practices and representations contribute significantly to the social construction of cultural identities. In its various forms, sport offers a unique opportunity to encourage an appreciation among citizens of their shared cultural heritage and common values at the heart of European identity.”
Workshop two will facilitate an interdisciplinary examination of the interconnection of sport and digital media and their roles in constructions of European cultural identity, bringing together researchers in film, digital media, sport and leisure studies, French studies, psychology, media and communication studies, and medicine.
The keynote speaker at the workshop will be Professor Alan Tomlinson, Professor in Leisure Studies, University of Brighton. A leading contributor in the area of sport and media studies, Professor Tomlinson’s work includes Sport and the Transformation of Modern Europe: States, media and markets 1950-2010 and The Sport Studies Reader. Professor Tomlinson’s lecture ‘Sport, Digital Media and European Cultural Identities’ will explore where and how sport contributes to or problematises conceptions of European cultural identity, with examples from the mass media and new/digital media forms.
A full schedule for the day long workshop is available at https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/research/European-Culture-project.php7

Sport & Exercise Research Group Lecture: A Case Study in Sports Journalism- Antoine Blondin, L’Équipe and the Tour de France
2019-09-24 13:00 | Room 1001, the Bridge, Hardiman Research Building
A product of the early twentieth century’s ‘sport-media-industry complex’, cycling’s Tour de France has engendered novel forms and styles of newspaper coverage and has attracted the interest of a variety of writers.A prominent right-wing novelist in the early fifties, Antoine Blondin (1921-1991) was a guest follower for French sports daily L’Équipe on four stages of the 1954 Tour. The highly original and stylishly composed “chroniques” he delivered warranted an invitation to the following year’s race as the featured “Writer on the Tour”, a literature-infused column he would make his own until 1982. This unique legacy, nostalgically and at times frivolously celebrating the myth of a largely invented tradition, has been captured in a posthumously compiled corpus of all 524 chronicles published in 2001, representing something of a memory site in its own right. Situated in the context of broader discussions relating to journalism, sport and society, this seminar will explore how one of the Tour de France’s most significant followers reads and interpret its story while drawing, in an inimitable tone and style, on the resources of the French literary canon.
Ruadhán Cooke teaches French in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures. Research interests include the overlaps between sport and literature, sports journalism and the cultural impact of sport.
