William Lloyd Garrison and Giuseppe Mazzini
Abolition, Democracy, and Radical Reform
by Enrico Dal Lago
William Lloyd Garrison and Giuseppe Mazzini, two of the foremost radicals of the nineteenth century, lived during a time of profound economic, social, and political transformation in America and Europe. Both born in 1805, but into dissimilar family backgrounds, the American Garrison and Italian Mazzini led entirely different lives‰ÛÓone as a citizen of a democratic republic, the other as an exile proscribed by most European monarchies. Using a comparative analysis, Enrico Dal Lago suggests that Garrison and Mazzini nonetheless represent a connection between the egalitarian ideologies of American abolitionism and Italian democratic nationalism.
Focusing on Garrison‰۪s and Mazzini‰۪s activities and transnational links within their own milieus and in the wider international arena, Dal Lago shows why two nineteenth-century progressives and revolutionaries considered liberation from enslavement and liberation from national oppression as two sides of the same coin. At different points in their lives, both Garrison and Mazzini demonstrated this belief by concurrently supporting the abolition of slavery in the United States and the national revolutions in Italy. The two meetings Garrison and Mazzini had, in 1846 and in 1867, served to reinforce their sense that they somehow worked together toward the achievement of liberty not just in the United States and Italy, but also in the Atlantic and Euro-American world as a whole. In the end, the abolition of American slavery led to Garrison‰۪s consecration, while the new Italian kingdom forced Mazzini into exile. Despite these different outcomes, Garrison and Mazzini both attracted legions of devoted followers who believed these men personified the radical causes of the nations to which they belonged.
Enrico Dal Lago is a lecturer in American history at National University of Ireland, Galway, and the author of Agrarian Elites: American Slaveholders and Southern Italian Landowners, 1815‰ÛÒ1861 and American Slavery, Atlantic Slavery, and Beyond: The U.S. ‰ÛÏPeculiar Institution‰۝ in International Perspective.

Hispanic Research Event: Dr Rebecca Breen - 'Si me permiten hablar...': Performative Testimony in Bolivia Today
2014-02-27 13:00
‘Si me permiten hablar…’: Performative Testimony in Bolivia Today
Dr Rebecca Breen
This talk examines performance art by contemporary women artists from Latin America; it aims to conceptualize and recontextualize the notion of testimonio in relation to visual practice. The paper revisits women‰۪s testimonial narrative writing (or testimonio),which emerged in Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s — specifically, Domitila Barrios de Chungara’s ‘”Si me permiten hablar…”: testimonio de Domitila, una mujer de las minas de Bolivia’ (1978). This genre comprised themes of the subaltern, authorship/agency, and the relationship of personal to collective testimonies. However, the paper focuses on the performative practice of a contemporary artist from Bolivia, Aruma (Sandra deBerduccy), so as to provide a purchase for negotiating testimonio from the point of view of the visual and, particularly, to highlight testimonio‘s gender concerns even to today.

Nietzsche and Kant: Religion
This workshop will be the seventh in a series examining Nietzsche‰۪s relation to Kant and Kantianism, each focussing on specific areas and texts of Kant‰۪s philosophy. After workshops on ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, metaphysics, anthropology and politics in Leiden, London, Lisbon, Belo Horizonte, Lecce and Rome, the Galway conference will focus on religion. The format of the conferences involves the pre-circulation of papers among participants and extended sessions, so as to allow time for discussion.The conference is organized by Tsarina Doyle as part of the ‰Û÷Values and Identities‰۪ component of the ‰Û÷Discourse, Values and Social Change‰۪ priority research area of the Moore Institute at NUI, Galway. It is funded by an Arts Millennium Conference Hosting Assistance grant and by the School of Humanities at NUI, Galway.
