During this period\, the American media abandoned a previously close connection with the military and government and instead moved independently through various mediums to denounce the Vietnam War. This dramatic period transformed the way American journalists cover conflicts and also significantly altered the relationship between the American media\, government and military officials. \nAbout Gavin Wilk: A Visiting Lecturer in History at the University of Limerick\, Gavin recently completed a PhD in History and was an IRCHSS Postgraduate Scholar from 2008-11. His thesis examines the militant Irish republican movement in the United States from 1923 to 1939 and focuses on the important role of Irish Republican Army (IRA) veterans in the US-based Irish republican movement. Gavin has completed a number of articles for reference works in American history\, including a recent contribution of fourteen articles to the M.E. Sharpe publication\, America in World History\, an encyclopaedia which presents American history through an international context. \nFor more see http://gasforum.blogspot.com/ URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/destroying-the-silver-linings-the-american-media-and-the-vietnam-war-1968-71-with-guest-speaker-gavin-wilk-university-of-limerick/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120616T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120616T093000 DTSTAMP:20260515T044410 CREATED:20160824T134736Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134736Z UID:2582-1339839000-1339839000@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Moore Institute Workshop 2011-12: Wise Practices\, Imagination and the Toleration of Diversity DESCRIPTION:Saturday 16th June \nDescription of Workshop \nThe idea of wisdom is currently attracting renewed attention as a source of innovative ideas and practices for social organisation. This workshop addresses two deficits in the associated debates\, accentuating contributions derived from observed ‰Û÷wise‰۪ practices in the West of Ireland. Wisdom is generally regarded as a form of reasoning which responds to pressing life-problems without clear solutions in either expert or everyday knowledge. This workshop explores a) how such forms of reasoning can operate under conditions of social and intellectual diversity; b) the role of imagination in envisaging novel solutions. \nSince Socrates‰۪ time\, commentators on wisdom have commended slowness to rush to judgement\, even in dilemmas which initially seem clear. Contemporary work on wisdom foregrounds tolerance and a capacity to understand how others see the world differently from oneself\, while remaining committed to one‰۪s own core values. However\, closer studies of what people really mean when they believe they are being tolerant show strong tendencies to expect others to converge with their own ideas under more apposite temporal or social circumstances. \nPapers at the workshop respond to this observation and to evidence collected in Galway and Connemara\, analysing selected local practices as effecting forms of social wisdom which illustrate more genuine forms of tolerance. It also draws on empirical and theoretical research into confronting cultural diversity both in Galway City and in Canada. Finally\, we focus on the role in both wisdom and tolerance of uses of the imagination in comprehending other (world-)views\, explored in historical travel literature and the sociology of tourism\, and to the roles in ‰Û÷wise‰۪ discourse of Irish proverbs\, triads and epigrams.
