Arts, Humanities & Innovation – Speaker Series: Designing for good
2017-03-16 12:00 - 14:00 | The Moore Institute Seminar Room G010 Ground floor The Hardiman Research Building, Ireland
As part of the Arts, Humanities and Innovation – Connecting with Industry series, Leon Butler, research fellow on the TechInnovate program at NUI Galway, will talk about design, and how PhD students might user their research skills in industry once they qualify.
This series of talks is aimed at researchers from the Arts & Humanities, and will be of particular interest to PhD students considering options for future career development.
Talk overview
Leon will talk about the importance of research in the design process. Design is no longer limited to visual designers with a flair for creativity but open to all who wish to engage in the process to understand the user and to address how we design for their needs. Human Centred Design focuses on serving rather than selling the product or service, to achieve this you must empathise with the user and define their needs to create a rounded User Experience (UX). These type of UX projects are generally broken in to five planes, most of which are not visible to the end user but provide a conceptual framework for talking about UX problems and the tools we use to solve them. Leon will discuss this conceptual framework for UX projects and present a Human Centred Design approach to solving them.
Leon’s Bio
Leon has worked across a broad range of positions in the media industry as a visual narrative designer, filmmaker, and educator. Since setting up his practice, he has also worked with clients as diverse as Starbucks on their global holiday campaign, Druid Theatre on promotional film for their iconic productions to musician Macklemore, who commissioned Leon to document their 2014 visit to Dublin’s o2 for two sold out shows. He has also developed many personal projects in animation, typography, children’s illustration and documentary. His research interest areas include adaptive interactions and experiences using available data in the public sphere and generative typography and in 2015 he completed a residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York in this field. In 2016, Leon received a ‘Certificate of Typographic Excellence’ from the Type Directors Club in New York. The Design and Craft Council of Ireland listed Leon as one of their ‘Future Makers’ for 2016 and completed a three month residency in Los Angeles with digital agency 72andSunny. Leon is currently a research fellow on the Techinnovate program at NUI Galway.

'Moving while doing, nomadic artistic perceptions in socio-environmental transitory times' a project by Visiting Fellow Seila Fernández Arconada
2017-03-15 04:30 - 17:30 | Seminar Room GO10, Ground Floor, Hardiman Research Building
The relationship between human beings and the notion of place is changing constantly; we are always in “natural” transition. Therefore observing, mapping, experiencing and analising the limits between the tangible and intangible while addressing socio-environmental (contemporary) concerns become relevant.
This project has been an experimental form of work – like moving-while-doing – as an attempt to unleash new forms of art research exploring the limits between place-identity, migration, belonging, the notion of home, the visible-invisible, the natural, etc.
This presentation is an artistic conclusion of this project after a month Fellowship at the Moore Institute.
Seila Fernández Arconada is an independent artist-researcher based in Bristol (UK). She is Honorary Research Staff in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Bristol; recently selected by Gasworks London to direct a project at pARTage (Mauritius). Seila has delivered numerous cross-disciplinary workshops and interventions including Communities Development in Post-Crisis Regions (Ukraine) and exhibited internationally, recently in Imagined Landscapes (RWA, UK), In Between Storage (Latvia) and ENCLAVE Land Art (Spain). Her work focuses in exploring artistic methodology, its boundaries and new social approaches. www.seilafernandezarconada.net

The Abbey Theatre, Dublin Cinemas and the Film Company of Ireland, 1916-1920 by Dr. Veronica Johnson, Moore Institute Visiting Fellow
2017-03-13 12:00 - 14:00 | Seminar Room GO10, Ground Floor, Hardiman Research Building
This talk examines the relationship between the Film Company of Ireland and Dublin cinemas in the period 1916-1920. Formed in 1916 and releasing its first films in that same year the Film Company of Ireland is the first important film production company in Ireland. Established by James Mark Sullivan and Henry Fitzgibbon, this production company released its first feature film O’Neil of the Glen in August 1916 to a warm popular and critical response. A great part of its allure and of its respectability was the fact that many of the actors and directors of this film company were also members of the Abbey Theatre. In particular Fred O’Donovan and J. M. Kerrigan, actors at the Abbey went on to be both actors and directors with the Film Company of Ireland. This talk focuses on the role played by the Film Company of Ireland films in attracting a middle-class audience to Dublin cinemas in the years 1916 to 1920. It argues that the contribution of Abbey actors and directors lent a respectability to its films that was harnessed by the cinemas in their promotional drive to attract a middle-class audience.

Bio
Dr. Veronica Johnson has worked as a lecturer in Film. Her previous publications have appeared in Kinema, Studies in European Cinema and The Journal of European Popular Culture. Her research focuses on early Irish cinema and its relationship to the entertainment industry, the cinematic unconscious, film and narrative and the films of Krzysztof Kieślowski.

‘Democratic Theory: Beyond the Pale’ By Dr Mark Devenney and Dr Clare Woodford
2017-03-08 17:00 - 18:30 | Room 333, Aras Moyola
This event is hosted by the School of Political Science & Sociology’s Power, Conflict and Ideology Research Cluster.

Medieval Ireland was physically divided by a palisade separating an English-ruled enclave stretching from Dublin to Dundalk, from a Gaelic-speaking area whose inhabitants were considered uncivilised, ‘beyond the pale’. In this paper we put this notion of the ‘pale’ to work to rethink the paradoxes of democratic theory, and in so doing to rethink democratic politics. Democratic theorists struggle with the apparent paradox that the demos, in exercising sovereign power, must draw boundaries which violate the equality democracy presupposes. In our view the various paradoxes of democracy – of boundaries, of legitimacy and of founding – only arise because democratic theorists assume that democracy must be a regime. We reject this assumption. Democracy, we contend, is an anarchic ‘instantiation of equality’ which upsets all institutionalisation or ordering. Democracy begins with the assumption that all are equal. It is undermined whenever and wherever equality is limited. All regimes will, then, struggle to determine who belongs to ‘the people’, how to justify these limits, and how to discipline the impropriety let loose by the promise of democratic equality for all. We contend that equality cannot be contained and that democracy is always in excess of any attempt to bind, legitimate or found it. Democratic theory in trying to justify the boundaries of democracy misunderstands its own object. It functions like the English pale of old, demarcating an established distribution of property and behaviours and preventing any reconfiguration of proprietary order. Existing debates fail to account for the specific ways in which propriety as well as property are instrumental to the maintenance of inequality. This is bought into focus by our re-reading of Rousseau’s defence of ‘proprietary order’ which traces the paradox of politics back to the paradox of property in a manner that theorists of the political paradox (Mouffe, Honig and Connolly) have simply ignored. Democracy, we conclude, occurs wherever there is an enactment of equality against proprietary order.

Dr Mark Devenney is the co-director of the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Economics and lectures in the School of Humanities at the University of Brighton. Mark’s research covers two primary areas: first, contemporary political philosophy, and second improper forms of political action including occupations, theft, squatting, and terrorism. Mark’s recent publications include: ‘The politics of antagonism’ in Contemporary Political Theory (2016); ‘Property, propriety and democracy’, in Social Justice Studies (2011), and Ethics and Politics in Contemporary Theory (Routledge, 2004) in which he critically examines the points of ethico-political difference and convergence between Post-Marxist radical democratic theory and Critical Theory’s deliberative account of democracy.

Dr Clare Woodford is lectures in the School of Humanities at the University of Brighton. Her research interests include theories of gender, ideology and pedagogy, Marxism and post-Marxism, queer theory, psychoanalysis, democratic struggle, activism and the arts, and performance studies. Clare’s recent book Disorienting Democracy: Politics of Emancipation, was published by Routledge in 2016, and is concerned with drawing out the transformative potentialities of thinking democracy as dissensus in light of the work of Jacques Rancière, for not only left politics, but for society as well.

History and the Politics of Memory: Winifred Carney, 1887-1943-2017 by Helga Woggan, MI Visiting Fellow
2017-03-06 16:00 - 17:30 | The Bridge Room 1001 First Floor Hardiman Research Building, University of Galway, Ireland
Winifred Carney was an active feminist and a significant figure of the 1916 Rising. Born in County Down, she became James Connolly’s personal secretary after he was appointed Belfast organizer of the ITGWU. She arrived in the GPO on Easter Monday with a typewriter and a Webley revolver, and held the rank of adjutant throughout the week of the Rising. On her release from prison, she returned to active politics in Belfast, standing for Sinn Féin in the 1918 general election, and subsequently joining the Socialist Party. In this seminar, Dr Woggon will present Winifred Carney’s biography in the light of some new material and of the changing perceptions of her life.
Helga Woggon is a historian of Irish labour, Central American cultures and National Socialist terror. Her works include a study of James Connolly’s politics and impact (Integrativer Sozialismus und nationale Befreiung, in German, 1990); Silent radical – Winifred Carney, 1887-1943 : a reconstruction of her biography, and (ed.) Ellen Grimley (Nellie Gordon): Reminiscences of her work with James Connolly in Belfast (both Dublin 2000).

Visiting Speaker: Dr. Ian Campbell, QUB 'Magna Carta, Limited Monarchy, and the Ancient Constitution in Early Modern Ireland'
2017-03-03 14:00 - 15:00
In October 2015, Ian was awarded a Starting Grant of €1.3 million by the European Research Council to pursue the research project ‘War and the Supernatural in Early Modern Europe’ over four-and-a-half years. He will lead a research team of two research fellows and one graduate student to examine the relationship between debates inside the early modern European universities on the proper limits of the natural and supernatural and the character of religious warfare in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Europe. His project hypothesizes that the mistaken imposition of the modern categories of sacred and secular on early modern religious debate has obscured not only the way that early modern Europeans thought about God and politics at extremes, but also the way that modern ways of speaking about religion slowly emerged during the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment invented the secular, the category without God; but just as important to Enlightenment was the enlargement of the natural, the category in which God left humans free to pursue ends impressed in them by him. The supernatural was that category in which God intervened directly. The arguments of militant Christians, whether Protestant Calvinists or Catholic Franciscans, are important to this story, but so too are the responses of moderate Catholics and Protestants who feared that holy war had the potential to destroy all human government, and not just the government of unbelievers. These debates and disputes were conducted in Europe’s learned language, Latin, without regard for national borders. Drawing on the disciplines of both History and Neo-Latin Studies, this project will recover this discourse by publishing analyses and parallel-text translations. But this project will also track the extension of this discourse of natural and supernatural in vernacular political debate outside the universities. These new editions of early modern Latin texts and analyses of discourse within and without the universities will help to eliminate the assumption among historians of religious violence that early modern people were less rational than ourselves, will redefine our category of religious warfare during Europe’s early modernity, and will re-orientate our understanding of European secularization.
