From a textbook to an ethnological category\, and from mechanical objects to infrastructural networks and large technological systems\, historical geographers\, in turn\, have been left to explain the world technology has “made.” Through a materialist keyword approach to the career of technology\, this paper raises questions about what it means to think of things\, processes\, and relations as technological\, and explores the implications of the idea of technology – understood in terms of its integrative\, meaning-making\, cultural work – for the histories and geographies that we produce. \nBio\nScott Kirsch (kirsch@email.unc.edu) is Professor of Geography at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research interests include the politics and culture of technology; nuclear landscapes; 19th- and 20th-century US science; history of scientific exploration and cartography; US geopolitics and empire\, especially in the Philippines and Asia/Pacific; and geographies of war and peace. He is author of Proving Grounds: Project Plowshare and the Unrealized Dream of Nuclear Earthmoving (Rutgers University Press\, 2005) and editor (with Colin Flint) of Reconstructing Conflict: Integrating War and Post-War Geographies (Routledge 2011). He is currently writing a book about America’s “insular empire” in the Philippines.

Did modernist artists conceive of the future as a prerequisite of the work itself and\, if so\, how did they attempt to secure their legacy? What does the digital landscape achieve for modernism studies? What future does modernist studies have? If modernism was a radical attempt to reshape culture and art did it succeed and how can we as scholars perpetuate this radicalism? Do current attempts to democratise the study of literature and unsettle canonicity impact future research? What modernisms are missing from the field of modernist study? What does modernism mean to minority languages\, cultures\, and to a \nnon-western canon? \n  \nModernist Studies Ireland (MSI) is a new organisation that aims to facilitate the sharing of interests\, research\, and pedagogical approaches to modernism and modernity in the Republic and Northern Ireland. We very much welcome new members to helps us shape the goals and initiatives of MSI. Our current activities include a monthly Works in Progress seminar series. \nFurther information about the organisation\, our monthly events and the full CFP can be found here:  https://modstudiesireland.wordpress.com \nThe conference is sponsored by the Moore Institute and the Explore Fund. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/modernist-legacies-and-futures/ LOCATION:Seminar Rooms G010 & G011\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Modernist%20Studies%20Ireland":MAILTO:modstudiesireland@wordpress.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190516T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190516T190000 DTSTAMP:20260404T000402 CREATED:20190513T120832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190513T135323Z UID:7503-1558033200-1558033200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Psychology Matters Day :The Psychology of Brexit -Prof. Brian Hughes DESCRIPTION:  \nUnlike most cultural upheavals\, Brexit is not the result of accidental tragedy or spontaneous economic turmoil. Rather\, Brexit was contrived by politicians\, was voted for by citizens\, and is now being implemented by bureaucrats. Brexit did not ‘just happen’; it exists because people decided to make it exist. It is therefore hugely influenced by a myriad of psychological factors as experienced across many social groups. Brexit is the combined reflection of a multitude of perceptions\, preferences\, choices\, self-images\, attitudes\, ideas\, assumptions\, and reasoned (or ill-reasoned) conclusions. \nThis lecture will examine the Psychology of Brexit. We will look at the psychological factors that influenced the dawn of Brexit\, such as optimism biases\, causal attribution errors\, and illusions of control. We will consider how cognitive dissonance\, social stereotypes\, and motivated irrationality help otherwise groundless beliefs to thrive in everyday culture\, leading to group polarisation\, rejectionism\, and echo-chamber reasoning. We will see how individual political figures become associated with ideas\, and how cultural biases (such as sexism) shape how politicians are portrayed and perceived. And we will consider the psychological impact of Brexit: its effect on social attitudes\, future thinking\, and collective and individual mental health. \nWe will conclude by examining how Ireland views Brexit. Are we Irish capable of an objective assessment of the Brexit project? Are we aware of our own biases when seeking to summarise its progress? And does Brexit help focus Irish minds on positive ideas such as collaborative problem-solving — or does it provoke unhealthy social attitudes such as nationalistic self-regard\, delusional optimism\, and passive coping? \nAs with its origins and progress\, the future impact of Brexit will be shaped by its psychological aspects. This lecture will show how psychology research can shed light on events such as Brexit and position us best to learn from them. \nSpeaker \nBrian Hughes is a Professor of Psychology at NUI Galway. He is a Fellow and former President of the Psychological Society of Ireland. A prolific researcher in the field of mental stress and health\, Brian is a prominent advocate for scientific psychology\, evidence-based policy\, scientific outreach and the role of psychology in society. His latest book is Psychology in Crisis (London: Palgrave\, 2018). \nSee https://www.psychologicalsociety.ie/event/Psychology-of-Brexit-with-Prof-Brian-Hughes URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/psychology-matters-day-the-psychology-of-brexit-prof-brian-hughes/ LOCATION:Arts Millenium Building\, AM250 – Colm O’Heocha Theatre ORGANIZER;CN="Brian%20Hughes":MAILTO:brian.hughes@nuigalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190514T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190514T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T000402 CREATED:20190510T083600Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190510T092324Z UID:7472-1557853200-1557853200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Inis Airc art exhibition by Pádraic Reaney.

DESCRIPTION:To be launched by Prof. Dáibhí Ó Cróinín. \nAll welcome. (Refreshments will be served.) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDe Origine Scoticae Linguae (O’Mulconry’s Glossary): An early Irish linguistic tract\, edited with a related glossary\, Irsan\, Corpus Christianorum\, Lexica Latina Medii Aevi 7 (Turnhout\, Brepols: 2019) \nA new edition of the earliest etymological study of a European vernacular language. \nDe Origine Scoticae Linguae (also known as O’Mulconry’s Glossary) is a text originating in seventh-century Ireland that provides etymologies for c. 880 Irish words\, mostly drawn from Latin\, Greek\, and Hebrew. Its Latin prologue declares its affiliation to the Graeco-Roman linguistic tradition\, claiming an origin for the Irish language in the Greek dialects Attic\, Doric and Aeolic. The glossary attests to the transmission and reception of the Latin grammatical tradition in Ireland and shines light in particular on the Irish knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. The text also represents a milestone in the history of European linguistics\, as the earliest etymological study of a European vernacular language. \nThe glossary was published once before\, by Whitley Stokes in 1898. This new edition provides the first translation and textual commentary\, clarifying the sense of difficult entries and discussing sources. The introduction analyses the structure and contents\, origins and development\, linguistic issues\, and relationships to other texts. The text is edited here along with a shorter related glossary of 232 entries\, entitled Irsan\, which includes shared material and sheds further light on its development.

It addresses popular literature and nature writing\, much of it penned by veterans of the First World War\, including Edmund Blunden\, J.B. Priestly\, and R.C. Sherriff.  Their stories raise messy questions about rural nostalgia\, preservation and prejudice\, as well as the fickleness of human nature when confronted with choices about our own consumerist desires and what is best for a thriving countryside.  These stories are less engaged with the progressive posthumanism of contemporary scholarship; instead\, they illuminate some of the more contested social struggles of 21st century climate change:  What kinds of narratives motivate people to support environmental agendas?  Are the reasons most of us love and cherish nature compatible with preserving it?  How do we create stories that don’t just speak to fellow activists\, but subtly\, compellingly\, begin to listen to and cultivate wider fields of green public thinking?  Using examples from both my published work and new research\, this talk will explore the continued relevance of environmental modernism to a 21st century Anthropocene awareness.

Among the areas examined are newsreel depictions of Gaelic games; Hollywood’s fascination with hurling in the mid-20th century (including in the work of Oscar-winning director John Ford)\, which led to a range of productions featuring the sport culminating with the Oscar-nominated short Three Kisses (Paramount\, 1955); the importance of the depictions of Gaelic games to the emergence of a distinctive Irish film culture post WWII; and the role of Gaelic games in contemporary cinema. \nSeán Crosson is Co-Director of the MA (Sports Journalism and Communication) and Director of Graduate Research and Teaching in the Huston School of Film & Digital Media\, National University of Ireland Galway. His previous publications include Sport and Film (Routledge\, 2013) and (as co-editor) Sport\, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe (Peter Lang\, 2010). \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/gaelic-games-on-film-from-silent-films-to-hollywood-hurling-horror-and-the-emergence-of-irish-cinema-by-by-sean-crosson/ LOCATION:Huston Main\, Huston School of Film and Media ORGANIZER;CN="Dr%20Se%C3%A1n%20Crosson":MAILTO:sean.crosson@universityofgalway.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190509T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190509T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T000402 CREATED:20190503T124019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190508T083858Z UID:7443-1557417600-1557417600@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Modernist Studies Ireland Works in Progress DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nTom Walker\, Trinity College Dublin \nW.B. Yeats\, Scholastic Aestheticism\, and Cultural Authority in Late Nineteenth-Century Ireland \nChris Collins\, University of Nottingham \n‘The man went queer in his head’: Synge and the cultural politics of mental health\, 1871-1909 \nRefreshments will be served! \n[NB UPDATE: change of 2nd speaker & venue]\nJoin us for exiting talks by two current Moore Institute Visiting Fellows. Part of MSI’s Works in Progress series\, these talks come ahead of the inaugural MODERNIST STUDIES IRELAND conference Fri 17 Sat 18 May 2019 in the Hardiman Research Building. Full programme to follow. https://modstudiesireland.wordpress.com/ \nDr Tom Walker is Ussher Assistant Professor in Irish Writing at Trinity College Dublin. \nDr Walker’s monograph Louis MacNeice and the Irish Poetry of his Time was published 2015 by Oxford University Press. This drew on extensive archival research on both sides of the Irish Sea and the Atlantic to illuminate MacNeice’s considerable contact with Irish literary networks and with contemporaneous Irish poetry. It was awarded the 2015 Robert Rhodes Prize for Books on Literature by the American Conference for Irish Studies. Other publications include research on the work of John McGahern\, the place of the literary within Northern Irish writing\, the radio poetry of Richard Murphy\, and Irish-British poetic relations at mid-century. He has also recently co-edited a special issue of the journal Modernist Cultures on ‘Collaborative Poetics’. \nHis current research project is provisionally entitled ‘Yeats and the Writing of Art’. It examines the work of W.B. Yeats through the prism of nineteenth and twentieth-century art writing – encompassing the many textual forms through which art spectatorship and writing were combined during the period\, ranging from aesthetic philosophy to art history to exhibition reviews to ekphrastic poems. The project was supported by an Irish Research Council New Horizons Research Project Grant. \nDr Chris Collins is Assistant Professor of Drama at the University of Nottingham. \nDr Collins has published widely on Irish theatre\, including two monographs on the work of Irish writer\, J.M. Synge (Theatre and Residual Culture [Palgrave: 2016]\, and J.M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World [Routledge: 2016]). He is currently writing his third book entitled J.M. Synge and The Time of His Life\, which considers how Synge’s writings offer an alternative social history of Ireland during the playwright’s lifetime. Synge witnessed and wrote about profound changes to Irish society and culture during his short lifetime: 1871-1909. This was a Victorian age of progress\, and everything needed to be clocked: from the time it took the Galway train to travel to Dublin\, to those cultures of the empire that had supposedly failed to evolve. Synge had a keen interest in how progress should be measured\, and his plays and prose offer unique perspectives on the measurement of time and the modernisation of Irish society. Synge’s fascination with time also had a particular personal appeal. As early as 1899 Synge knew he was dying young. Immediately thereafter he set about travelling Ireland\, writing prose\, verse and plays about spaces and places that were rapidly changing in front of his eyes. A mixture of biography\, social history and critical analysis of his plays and prose\, the significance of this project is that it will explore how Synge staged and wrote about linear and non-linear time in the Ireland of his time\, both as a reflection on modernisation and as a coping mechanism for the finiteness of time in his personal life. \nChris will be using his time at the Moore Institute to consult the digital archives of Synge’s diaries\, journals and notebooks\, as well as Abbey Theatre and Druid Theatre digital archives. \nNB Dr Antonio Bibbò of the Unversity of Manchester\, originally advertised as speaker\, has kindly agreed to give a talk later in the academic year. He is currently completing a monograph titled Reception and Perception of Irish Culture in Early Twentieth-Century Italy: Imagining Ireland in Italy. During his time at the Moore Institute\, Dr Bibbò intends to investigate understudied aspects of the literary relationship between Italy and Ireland at the beginning of the twentieth century. \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/modernist-studies-ireland-works-in-progress-2/ LOCATION:Room 1001\, the Bridge\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="Modernist%20Studies%20Ireland":MAILTO:modstudiesireland@wordpress.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190508T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20190508T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T000402 CREATED:20190501T153917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190502T095754Z UID:7430-1557313200-1557320400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:The School of Humanities Equality\, Diversity and Progression (EDP) Committee - 'Reflecting on past\, present and ongoing issues' DESCRIPTION:11.00: Introductory Remarks: Professor Felix Ó Murchadha\, Head of the School of Humanities \n11.05: Panel One: Precarious Work\, Progression and Equality \nChair: Prof Lionel Pilkington \nSpeakers: Maggie Ronayne (SIPTU)\, Karen Walsh\, Ciara Murphy (PhD representative)\, Dr Felicity Maxwell (Moore Institute)\, Eibhlín Seoighthe (SU) \n 11.55: Tea/Coffee \n12.05: Panel Two: Gender\, Disability and Minority Groups \nChair: Dr Andrew Ó Baoill \nSpeakers: Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley\, Michelle Mitchell (School of Education)\, Dr Frances McCormack\, Owen Mac an Bhaird (Mincéir Whiden Society) \n12.45: Further Issues to be addressed from the floor\, Moderator: Dr Fiona Bateman \nClosing Remarks: Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley\, Chair of the School of Humanities Equality\, Diversity and Progression Committee \n13.00: Refreshments and light lunch provided by the School of Humanities.

This may include\, for example\, the augmentation of physical landscapes\, or creating immersive experiences related to social or political landscapes. Technical experience is not a prerequisite for participating in the course. \nOverview\nCompelling us all is an interest in creatively exploring vast landscapes in the physical world and of the mind while gaining an understanding of the potentials of augmented-\, virtual-\, and mixed reality through a myriad of critical\, conceptual\, and hands-on approaches. \nUsing technology to imagine unknown realities can inspire new ways of looking at the world. In designing new forms of interactive and tactile experiences\, artistic creation and storytelling\, what could we add or augment to our surroundings to develop new narratives about landscapes\, be them physical\, social\, or mental\, that permeate our lives? What forms of play and togetherness might we be able to create and sustain? Could thoughtful discourse on landscapes and realities empower us into making impactful change? \nCourse Description\nMixed Reality (MR) refers to a suit of technologies that anchors virtual objects in a space\, allowing for the possibility of “real” interaction with those objects. With Augmented Reality (AR)\, in addition to superimposing images and 3D models over the camera feed\, these toolkits offer the opportunity to map physical spaces\, understand ambient lighting and track the position of a phone in space. Pokemon Go used these techniques to capture the public interest and brought AR into the mainstream\, but it begs the question\, what else can we do with this technology? In this class\, we’ll explore the spectrum of what these tools have to offer. \nThese techniques are just a starting point for what may be possible. There is much experimentation to be done by utilising the other capabilities of handheld devices to stream live data\, communicate with others\, and incorporate information from built in sensors. \nAlthough various types of augmented and virtual reality systems have existed for some time\, recent advances in mobile technology platforms provide us more powerful ways of creating and sharing these experiences with a wider audience. So as the technology is advancing\, what happens when we bring conceptual ideas and criticality to the fore? \nThe primary tool of this program will be Unity 3D. We will work with the ARKit and Vuforia libraries. As we engage the potential of these new tools\, we will also take a critical perspective discussing the shortcomings and challenges of future technologies. \nIn this course\, you will be introduced to:\n\nCritical and conceptual development of projects *\nCreative development with Unity3D *\nScripting in Unity3D to create interactivity *\nIntroduction to ARKit (iOS) and Vuforia *\nAttaching virtual objects to real image markers *\nCreating both AR and VR experiences *\nRecording and placing sounds inside a virtual AR space *\nDesigning an AR space that can be shared and explored with multiple people at the same time *\nBuilding mixed reality experiences *\nAn amazing network and community of like-minded creative beings and potential future collaborators\n\n* No previous experience necessary \nCourse Outline\nWeek 1: Introductions\, concepts\, narratives\, play\, and critical discourse. \nWeek 2: Tools and techniques for creating interactive experiences in Unity \nWeek 3: Advanced tools and techniques for creating interactive experiences in Unity. Adding physicality into our work through props and found artefacts. \nWeek 4: Preparing talks\, presentations\, and Mixed Reality experiences for final showcase open to the public \nWho is this program for?\nThis workshop is geared toward anyone involved in creative projects (such as architects\, designers\, makers\, artists\, musicians\, performers) and members of the arts and humanities research community\, that wish to begin incorporating mixed reality experiences into their work or practice. \nThis course approaches mixed reality from an introductory level. A basic knowledge of programming (in any language/platform) is encouraged\, *but not required*. \nApplication Process\nParticipation in the course is subject to an application process and interview\, which will be conducted by the School of MA. \nAn online application form for the programme\, and details of fees for participation in this 4-week full-time course are available on the course registration page. \nNUI Galway Scholarship Opportunities\nFor staff\, students and researchers currently affiliated with the College of Arts at NUI Galway\, there are a number of fee-waiver scholarships available. These scholarships are generously funded through a HEA project on “Digital Literacy in Irish Humanities”. You must indicate on the application form if you wish to be considered for one of these scholarships. \nA number of fee-waiver scholarships are also available via Galway 2020 for professionals working in the Arts\, technology\, or research and living in Galway\, Ireland.

Increasingly\, we make material available digitally\, and work with staff / researchers to maximise the value and impact of this investment. This can be through their use in teaching programmes\, employing technologies available to us to conduct statistical analysis on their contents\, and work with local partners on data visualisation tools. There is a greater expectation on archives and libraries to deliver on services like this. \nThis talk will give an overview of the landscape of digital archives projects in Ireland at the moment\, specifically the types of resources and infrastructure these projects require\, legislation such as copyright and data protection that influence these\, and the types of organisations that fund these projects. \nIt will also present the resources and support available at NUI Galway for anyone interested in working with us on these projects. \n\nRegistration\nPlease register to attend using Eventbrite. \n\nAbout the Workshop Series\nDeveloping skills with digital technologies can be a challenge for researchers interested in digital and open scholarship. \nTo help\, the Library\, in partnership with the Moore Institute\, presents a series of informal workshops to share practice-based expertise\, know-how\, and experience in technologies and methods\, that will enhance your experience of newer forms of scholarship. \nEvents in this semester’s series include: \n\nPlanning & Building Digital Projects – David Kelly\, G010\, 12-1pm Thursday\, 31st January\nIntroduction to Research Data Management and related supports at NUI Galway – Trish Finnan\, G010\, 12-1pm Wednesday 27th February\nCreating Digital Exhibitions with Omeka – Cillian Joy\, G011\, 12-1pm Thursday 28th March\nArchives in the digital age – balancing evolving expectations against the realities of resource allocation and legislation – Aisling Keane\, G010\, 12-1pm Tuesday\, 30th April.

DESCRIPTION:by Dr. Menelaos Gkartzios\, Newcastle University\, and Dr. Julie Crawshaw\, Northumbria University\, UK\, Moore Visiting Fellows. \nMenelaos Gkartzios and Julie Crawshaw present their interdisciplinary collaboration across artistic research\, planning and rural studies. We draw on a collaborative art residence programme between Newcastle University and Berwick Visual Arts\, an arts organisation in the North East of England\, which invited an artist to respond to a highly contentious topic in rural England: housing development. The ambition for the residency was\, firstly\, to provide new perspectives on rural housing research\, and\, secondly\, to provide a space for engagement between the local community\, planners and academics. Through our research\, we explore how the resident artist\, Sander Van Raemdonck’s\, worked towards these ambitions and we offer original insights on how to develop interdisciplinary research with artists. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr Menelaos Gkartzios is Senior Lecturer in Planning & Development at Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy in the UK.

A committed follower of Mary\, Queen of Scots in Scotland and the catholic cause across Europe\, King returned to Scotland in the late 16th century and became a devoted follower of Mary’s son\, King James VI and I. The poet William Drummond of Hawthornden referred to King as the most learned man Scotland ever produced. Upon his return to Edinburgh\, King\, a former professor of mathematics and philosophy at the Collège de Lisieux\, University of Paris (1585-1595)\, established the ideas and methods of the new sciences at the University of Edinburgh in the lead up to the Enlightenment. A retrospective damnatio memoriae\, instigated by Calvinists in Edinburgh from 1645 onwards\, mean that King is to this day\, remarkably\, a largely unknown figure. \nThis talk will be part of a series on Scots and Irish Latin Literature and Literary culture at the Moore Institute on 24th of April. \nDetails here: http://cas.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/files/2019/03/programme-SNLS.pdf  \n  URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/the-counter-reformation-and-stuart-loyalism-in-the-poetry-of-adam-king/ LOCATION:Seminar Room G010\, Hardiman Research Building ORGANIZER;CN="David%20McOmish":MAILTO:David.McOmish@glasgow.ac.uk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
