SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Professor Enrico Dal Lago\n“The Social Origins of Agrarian Violence in Comparative Perspective: The First Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina and the Early Mafia in Sicily\, 1865-1875”\nA comparative historical project focusing on the events and transformations that occurred in the United States in the period after the American Civil War and in Italy in the period after national unification can help us understand better the deep economic\, social\, and political changes experienced by the rural areas of the nineteenth-century Euro-American world. \nThis is especially true with regard to the U.S. South and southern Italy after 1865 and in relation to issues such as the agrarian elites’ ideologies and practices of power and the labour relations that characterized the agrarian countryside of the two regions – one of which was a former slave society\, while the other one was a long-term free labour society. My aim in implementing the methodology of comparative history in this project is to research the specific ways in which the agrarian elites in the U.S. South and southern Italy\, despite the temporary loss of power they experienced in the aftermath of the American Civil War and of Italian national unification\, managed to maintain a tight grip on the agrarian working classes of the two southern regions – i.e.\, freed African Americans and free southern Italian peasants – preventing them from moving beyond the social status quo. In this lecture\, I compare the Reconstruction U.S. South with post-unification southern Italy by investigating specifically the reasons behind the origin and expansion of violent practices of agrarian vigilantism and criminal activity in the cotton-producing regions of upcountry South Carolina and in the citrus-growing regions of coastal western Sicily. In comparable terms\, in both the cases of upcountry South Carolina and coastal western Sicily\, those violent practices were tightly related to both a regional agrarian past and the specific historical circumstances of the period between 1865 and 1875. Also in comparable terms\, those practices led to the creation of two particular traditions of illegal violent activity – the first Ku Klux Klan and the early Mafia – which\, although very different in character\, served a similar purpose of controlling the agrarian workforce in areas characterized by the production of highly valuable cash-crops. \nFor more information please see \nhttp://www.nuigalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences-and-celtic-studies/lecture-series/#Enrico

Well known touring groups such as the Mick Delahunty Orchestra\, the Maurice Mulcahy Band\, and the Gay McIntyre Band\, as well as smaller\, semi-professional dance bands such as the Brideside Serenaders (Tallow) and many others performed from sheet music of American big band jazz standards that were arranged and published in London and then imported to Ireland and Northern Ireland.  They also played a range of other music\, including Dixieland jazz\, popular Irish songs\, old time waltzes\, and the occasional céilí dance. \nFocusing primarily on sit down dance band musicians who were active in the post-World War II years\, I argue that these musicians functioned\, in part\, as laborers whose job it was to keep their audiences dancing. As such\, they engaged with their audiences’ fascination with American popular music and culture while at the same time\, reflected Irish locality and musical aesthetics. \nUsing ethnographic interviews and archival sources\, I also trace how these musicians\, increasingly came to see themselves also as entertainers and artists. It was this changing perception that in part informed the emergence of the showband era of the 1960s/1970s and ultimately Ireland’s popular music industry. \nRebecca Miller is Professor of Music at Hampshire College\, in Amherst\, Massachusetts\, and the 2018-2019 IACI-NUI Galway\, Visiting Fellow in Irish Studies. Dr. Miller received a MA from Wesleyan University and the PhD in ethnomusicology from Brown University. \nThe author of Carriacou String Band Serenade: Performing Identity in the Eastern Caribbean (Wesleyan University Press\, 2008)\, Professor Miller has published articles and chapters on traditional and popular music in both Ireland and in the USA. A recipient of Fulbright and Whiting Fellowships\, among others\, she is currently completing a book on Irish popular music\, specifically Irish dance bands/orchestras and showbands.

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. We are planning on hosting the sessions on Tuesdays from 3pm – 4pm\, in the “Bridge Room”\, on the first floor of the Hardiman Research Building. \nAny questions?: Contact David Kelly (david.d.kelly@nuigalway.ie)

SUMMARY:Geopolitics and Justice Cluster: Human Security Talk
DESCRIPTION:Dorothy Estrada-Tanck (University of Murcia\, Spain) \n“Human security and international human rights law in the Mediterranean crisis” \nAbstract: \nThe unspeakable tragedy faced by thousands of migrant persons dying at sea trying to reach the European Mediterranean coast from the Middle East and North Africa has resulted in nearly 2\,000 registered deaths in 2018. This situation\, deriving from the protection gaps and deficient and unjust migration policies of national\, EU and international legal systems\, compel us to propose novel theoretical frameworks for thought and action. Human security has been advanced as the protection of the vital core of all human lives in ways that enhance human freedoms and human fulfillment\, and safeguarding people from critical and pervasive threats and situations. I make the argument that a human security approach adds significant value to the traditional purely legal analysis of human rights. Drawing on UN and European human rights law and jurisprudence\, I will explore the concrete ways in which this may play out in practice. I contend that human security and human rights can act together as a blueprint to address the Mediterranean crisis in a more just and efficient manner\, and thus address one of the greatest challenges of our time. \nAbout the speaker:  Dorothy Estrada-Tanck is Assistant Professor of International Law at the University of Murcia\, Spain. She holds a PhD in Law from the European University Institute\, an MSc in Political Theory from LSE and a law degree (Mexico City). She enjoys broad academic and professional experience in the United Nations\, State bodies and NGOs in Mexico\, Italy\, the U.S. and Spain\, focusing on issues of human rights\, gender\, and socio-economic justice. She is the author of Human Security and Human Rights under International Law: The Protections Offered to Persons Confronting Structural Vulnerability (Hart Publishing\, Oxford\, 2016). \nContact details: +34 868883259; dorothyestrada@um.es

SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland's: Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:Modernist Studies Ireland’s monthly forum for new on-going work in Irish modernist studies—Works in Progress—cordially invites you to its third session of this autumnal season\, taking place on Tuesday\, 20th Nov.\, from 6-8 pm in The Bridge Room (THB)\, as per usual with nibbles and wine. This seminar will open to view the much understudied literary modernism of Irish language writers in the twentieth century. We’re honoured to welcome two speakers from NUI Galway’s Centre for Irish studies for the occasion. Hardiman and IRC scholar Eoin Byrne will be speaking about ‘Semantic Succour: The Languages of Irish Modernism’ in the context of the works of Samuel Beckett\, Máirtín Ó Cadhain\, and Brian Ó Nualláin (Flann O’Brien)\, illuminating the late-modernist cultural production during Ireland’s postcolonial moment. A multilingual approach to this cultural moment\, Eoin’s paper posits\, not only strengthens the New Modernist Studies’ ‘vertical expansion’; it also helps in better sketching the blurred borders between modernist and postmodernist aesthetics more generally. Our second speaker is IRC and Hardiman scholar Síobhra Aiken\, who recently curated the exhibition Máirtín Ó Direáin: Fathach File/Reluctant Modernist\, held in NUI Galway from March-July 2018\, and currently on tour. Síobhra’s talk\, entitled ‘“Ní file ach filíocht an bhean”: Towards a Gendered Reading of Irish Language Modernist Poetry’\, will put the gendered streak of Irish language modernist poetry centre stage. Please join us for what promises to be a most intriguing event\, keen to shine a light on many severely neglected dimensions of Irish modernism and its critical apprehension. \n
