SUMMARY:Dr. Mahesh Radhakrishnan\, (Australian National University) South Indian Carnatic singing and sean-nÌ_s- an ethnographic\, musical and linguistic comparison of two distinct performance traditions
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mahesh Radhakrishnan\,\nAustralian National University\nSouth Indian Carnatic singing and sean-nÌ_s–\nan ethnographic\, musical and linguistic comparison of two distinct performance traditions\nAbstract: Despite sharing some interesting linguistic and cultural connections in a very distant past\, South Indian and Irish musical cultures have emerged from highly distinct contexts and influences. Drawing on doctoral research within the respective cultures as practiced in Australia\, this seminar presents a comparison of Carnatic and sean-nÌ_s singing from the perspectives of anthropology\, ethnomusicology and linguistics. In the process\, some interesting theoretical insights emerge about performance and the relationship between music and language. \nBiography: \nMahesh Radhakrishnan is a language and music scholar with a research interest in the performance of language\, linguistic diversity\, language ideology\, interaction and the intersections between language and music in singing. He holds a PhD in Linguistics from Macquarie University\, Sydney\, for a thesis on Irish traditional singing and South Indian classical Carnatic singing in Australia. He has conducted linguistic research on Tamil\, Irish\, English\, Telugu\, Sanskrit and Jawoyn\, an Australian Aboriginal language. \nMahesh is also a singer\, musician and composer with over 20 years of training and experience in the Carnatic tradition and he has explored a range of styles\, particularly Irish traditional sean-nÌ_s and instrumental music. He has directed and advised on music for stage productions and leads the worldy folk music group Tapestries of Sound which he founded in 2002. \nMahesh is currently a Visitor in the School of Anthropology at the Australian National University and is collaborating with Dr. Lillis ÌÒ Laoire on a project titled ‰Û÷Irish language\, sean-nÌ_s and linguistic ecologies of traditional performance’  \nFor more information contact lillis.olaoire@nuigalway.ie

All are welcome.  \nBrendan O’Leary is Lauder Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of numerous highly regarded books and articles on conflict and peacemaking and has been deeply and directly involved in efforts to secure peace and design new structures of government in Northern Ireland and Iraq. He was born in Cork\, Ireland and his childhood and teenage years were mostly spent in Nigeria\, Sudan\, and Northern Ireland. \nBefore coming to Penn\, O’Leary was on the faculty of the London School of Economics and Political Science between 1983 and 2003\, where he had been Professor of Political Science\, head of its Government Department\, and an elected Academic Governor. Between 2012 and 2014 he is also Professor of Political Science at Queen’s University Belfast. ̢åÛå¬̢åÛå¬O’Leary’s professorial career has been combined with political advisory work. He was a political advisor to the British Labour Shadow Cabinet on Northern Ireland between 1987-8 and 1996-7\, advising Kevin McNamara and the late Marjorie (“Mo”) Mowlam. He advised Irish\, British\, and American ministers and officials and the Irish-American Morrison delegation during the Northern Ireland peace process\, appearing as an expert witness before the  US Congress\, and being a guest at the White House. His ideas on power-sharing are said to have been extremely influential\, and his work with Prof. John McGarry on police reform was singled out in the press for influencing the commission on police reform which reported in 1999. O’Leary has also worked as a constitutional advisor for the European Union and the United Nations in the promotion of confederal and federal re-building of Somalia\, and for the United Kingdom’s Department of International Development in constitutional consultancies on power-sharing in coalition governments in Kwa-Zulu Natal\, South Africa\, and in Nepal.  Between 2003 and 2009 he was regularly an international constitutional advisor to the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq\, assisting in the negotiation of the Transitional Administrative Law (2004); electoral systems design (2004-5); the Constitution of Iraq (2005)\, and the Constitution of the Kurdistan Region (2005-). He has been an expert witness on Iraq to branches of the US Government\, and to the United Kingdom’s Iraq Commission. For the UN he contributed to its 2004 United Nations Human Development Report on Culture and Liberty. In 2009-2010 O’Leary was seconded to the UN as the Senior Advisor on Power-Sharing in the Standby Team of the Mediation Support Unit of the Department of Political Affairs. \nThe lecture is open to the public\, but early attendance is advised.
