SUMMARY:Launch of Mobility in the Russian\, Central and East European Past (2019)
DESCRIPTION:  \nProfessor  Dan Carey will launch this new volume of essays edited by Dr. Róisín Healy of the History Department. A reception will follow. \nThis edited collection reveals the enormous diversity of journeys taken into\, out of and around modern Russia and central and eastern Europe by means of twelve case studies. These range from the flight of serfs from Russia to Poland-Lithuania on foot in the eighteenth century to adventure tourists from Britain exploring Russia on motor-bikes since the turn of the new millennium. Taken together\, the essays challenge Orientalist stereotypes of the region as characterised by stasis and emphasise that travel was by no means limited to elites\, but experienced by ordinary people\, including peasants\, women and those living in peripheral locations. https://www.routledge.com/Mobility-in-the-Russian-Central-and-East-European-Past-1st-Edition/Healy/p/book/9781138354524

SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nCreative 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 ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere 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.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome 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. \nFurther details\nYou 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. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Wisdom after Metaphysics?
DESCRIPTION:By Professor  Markus Wörner \nAbstract \nThe paper begins with a common-sense approach to the notion of wisdom\, drawing on results of Positive Psychology. Wisdom is to be understood as a mode of being in the world based on sapiential competence informed by a general attitude of openness to (practical and theoretical) truth rather than on specialized capacities of an intellectual\, moral or religious elite. It is within the competence of Homo sapiens as such. Its acquisition results in a trustworthy and adequate co-ordination of cognitive\, emotional and characterological habits (intellectual and ethical virtues) which are suited to confront fundamental\, existential questions concerning human reality. Wisdom comes in degrees and may increase with experience. \nBiographical Note:  \nMarkus H. Wörner is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and former Head of Department at the National University of Ireland\, Galway (1986–2009). After his Lektorat in theology at the Dominican Studium Generale in Germany in 1973 and postgraduate studies in Oxford as DAAD student he completed his studies in philosophy and theology at the University of Bonn with the degree of Dr. phil. (1975). He taught fundamental theology and medieval philosophy at the Free University of Berlin (FU) while finishing his Habilitation in Philosophy (1985). He has taught as Visiting Professor at Boston College (1990) and FU Berlin (2000). His major book publications are Performative und Sprachliches Handeln (1978)\, Das Ethische in der Rhetorik des Aristoteles (1990)\, Glückendes Leben (2000)\, Verstehen an der Grenze (2003)\, and Thomas von Aquin\, Summa Contra Gentiles IV (1996). He also edited four Latin/German editions of the complete Summa Contra Gentiles. His recent research focuses on rhetorical argumentation and wisdom. He is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. \n

SUMMARY:Performance and the Archive: Presence\, Absence\, and Digital Memory
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will address current research\, practice and developments in the field of digital theatre historiography\, archival curation\, and memory and performance studies. The digital interface between the archive of past performance and the present is enabling new encounters between presence and absence\, as well as navigating and contesting the recognised documented repertoire. The digital future of the archive presents challenges in terms of documentation of contemporary theatre practice. Processes generated and experienced through virtual and augmented reality\, digital video installation and other technologically-enabled performance\, effects our collective memory. The reanimated archive of aural and visual media\, the corporal record of movement and space\, as well as the essence and affect of live reception\, present an ever-more interdisciplinary engagement with the digital and born-digital archive of performance. The symposium will discuss and question the future presence and possible absence from digital theatre archives\, how we encounter and experience exhibitions and display of such records\, as well as the documentation and curation of future digital performance. \n\nThe event will also include a launch of the new book: Navigating Ireland’s Theatre Archive: Theory\, Practice\, Performance (Peter Lang Press\, 2019) edited by Dr. Barry Houlihan and launched by Catriona Crowe. \n\nTo register and for more info please click here

SUMMARY:The Kei Uta Collective
DESCRIPTION:  \nBy Professor Huhana Smith\, Massey University\, New Zealand as part of Irish Studies’ Seminar Series \nYou are invited to attend the second seminar of our Irish Studies’ Seminar Series\, which is run in association with Carbon Cultures hosted by the Centre for Irish Studies\, NUI Galway this month. \nThis seminar will take place at 4pm\, Tuesday 22 October at Room G010\, Moore Institute\, Hardiman Research Building\, NUI Galway. \nWe are delighted this month to welcome the artist\, scholar and curator Professor Huhana Smith to the Centre for Irish Studies\, as part of an Irish Research Council New Foundations award in collaboration with Professor Karen E. Till and the Space&Place Research Collective\, Department of Geography\, Maynooth University. This is a follow up seminar to our Carbon Cultures Interdisciplinary Seminar we hosted earlier this year where Dr Cathy Fitzgerald was in conversation with Dr Iain Biggs on eco-social futures\, and all that attended that seminar would be most welcome to attend on this occasion as well. \nHuhana will be discussing her ongoing work with the Kei Uta Collective in New Zealand. This is a transdisciplinary research team that has worked together since 2014 to determine necessary adaptation toolkits and transition action plans that aim to mitigate uncontrollable climate change\, its unpredictability\, and prepare communities in the short term for their long term protection. The Kei Uta Collective has created unique and compelling collaborations where culture\, science\, design and contemporary art privilege Māori ideas of ecological and cultural sustainability\, and which are location-specific to Kuku\, Horowhenua\, Te Ika a Maui/North Island\, New Zealand. \nProfessor Huhana Smith is a visual artist\, curator and principle investigator in research who engages in major environmental\, trans-disciplinary\, kaupapa Māori and action-research projects. She is co-principle investigator for research that includes mātauranga Māori methods with sciences to actively address climate change concerns for coastal Māori lands in Horowhenua-Kāpiti. Huhana actively encourages the use of art and design’s visual systems combined in exhibitions\, to expand how solutions might integrate complex issues and make solutions more accessible for local communities. \nWe are also delighted to welcome eco-social artist Laura Donkers (University of Dundee) as our session discussant on Tuesday. Laura will explore some of the key issues that Huhana will be addressing in her lecture\, and examine it in relation to her own work and experience in the Outer Hebrides and Scottish visual and ecological cultures more widely. \nWe would like to acknowledge the support of the Irish Research Council\, Centre for Irish Studies NUI Galway\, Dept. of Geography Maynooth University\, School of Art Massey University\, and the Research Support Scheme\, CASSCS\, NUI Galway\, in co-hosting our seminar this month. \nAs usual\, do spread the word as beidh fáilte roimh chách! \nLe gach dea-ghuí\, \n

The National Monuments Service of the Department of Culture\, Heritage and the Gaeltacht which liaises with the EU in relation to digital media will chair the session. \nThis will be followed by workshops on digitising cultural heritage in the areas of LiDAR\, GIS\, Photogrammetry\, Laser Scanning and Data Management. \n\nPlease Note: This is a free event\, but registration is required due to limited space. \n\nSession 1 – Photogrammetry\nIn this workshop\, we’ll examine the photo capture and post-processing strategies using Agisoft Metashape to generate models\, but we’ll reference open source alternatives as well. \nPhotogrammetry has transformed the way cultural heritage assets are captured in 3D. Computational power is now such that anyone with a camera and a recent generation computer can create detailed 3D models from a collection of digital photographs of a subject. In this session we look at ways of getting the best possible results for cultural heritage objects and sites! \nSession 2 – LiDAR\, Photogrammetry and GIS\nIn this workshop\, we will examine the integration of LiDAR and Photogrammetry with GIS packages. \nAs photogrammetry and LiDAR topographical data becomes more accessible we will look at how best to use these different techniques to enhance the digital cultural record\, and to create detailed site maps. \nAbout the Workshop\nAttendees are encouraged to download a demo version of Metashape\, and to bring along a camera and a laptop. Most importantly\, bring something you’d like to document in 3D. It could be a childhood toy\, a souvenir\, a foodstuff\, It works best if your “thing” isn’t shiny and has a surface texture with plenty of detail and contrast. \nThis workshop is scheduled as part of a programme of events around digital creativity\, digital media\, critical practice\, in association with DH_AGE\, The Moore Institute at NUI Galway\, and the Department of Culture Heritage and Gealtacht\, National Monuments Service \nRegister to attend the workshop.

SUMMARY:Italian School of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures The Moore Institute :The aesthetics of post-secular “iconoclash”: the “scandal” of religion in Castellucci and Sorrentino
DESCRIPTION:By Monica Jansen\, Utrecht University \nWith the concepts of “scandal” (Pasolini) and “iconoclash” (Latour) this lecture investigates the tensions between religion and aesthetics created by a post-secular work of art when it enters in collision with the public sphere. For this purpose it compares the iconoclast reactions of the public to Romeo Castellucci’s performance Sul concetto di volto nel figlio di Dio in 2011 with the “contradiction” embodied by pope Pius XIII in Paolo Sorrentino’s succesfull TV-series The Young Pope (2017). \nMonica Jansen is Assistant Professor in Italian Literature at the Department of Languages\, Literature and Communication (TLC) – Italian language and culture\, at Utrecht University. Her research interests include modernism and postmodernism studies\, and more specifically new forms of cultural engagement. She investigates cultural representations of socially relevant topics such as religion\, precarity\, youth and migration\, from an interdisciplinary\, transmedial and transnational perspective. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Creative Coding Meet-up
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nCreative 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 ) \n\nWhat can I expect?\n\nThis is a peer support group\, not an instructor-led workshop / class.\nIt’s an opportunity to schedule some time each week to develop your coding skills\, and to get some help\, if you need it.\nThere 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.\n\nIf you have no coding experience\, and aren’t sure where or how to start\, someone will help you. \nCome 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. \nFurther details\nYou 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. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Hamish Henderson Centenary
DESCRIPTION: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\nDrawing 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\nWW 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\nScottish Studies; influenced\, quite directly\, the course of 20th-century history. \nHis 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”.

SUMMARY:Thinking the Empire Whole
DESCRIPTION:By Prof. Steve Pincus (University of Chicago) \nAs part of NUI Galway History Research Seminar  Series Semester 1\, 2019-20 \nProf. 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 \nHis 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. \n

SUMMARY:Do Witches Have Human Rights?
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n**postponed until further notice ** \nBy Thomas Strong \nA 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? \nThomas Strong – Department of Anthropology – Maynooth University \nhttps://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/people/thomas-strong
