SUMMARY:War and Revolution Conference ' Place\, Identity and Conflict: War and Revolution in the West of Ireland\, 1913 - 18'
DESCRIPTION:Place\, Identity & Conflict: The West of Ireland in War & Revolution\, 1913-19 \nThis upcoming conference explores War and Revolution in the West of Ireland between 1913 and 1918. The conference runs for two days on Friday and Saturday 1/2 July in the Aula Maxima\, NUIG. All talks are free and open to the public. \nIdentity and a sense of communal resilience lent meaning to chaotic events in Ireland in the decade before the foundation of the state. In the face of social and political upheaval\, regional\, sectional and ethnic identities offered an opportunity to impose order on social change\, making upheaval and loss less threatening\, giving meaning to new political realities. The archival resources pertaining to the revolutionary period in Ireland have changed dramatically in the last decade. This public conference explores the contrasting interpretations of war and revolution in the West of Ireland through the conflicting prisms of class\, regional identity\, religious faith\, language\, ethnicity and gender.  \nConference programme includes talks on contrasting perspectives of the period from the world of the ‰Û÷big house’\, the lives of rural women\, the Irish in America\, the urban poor and a range of competing narratives. The crucial issues of land\, recruitment to the military\, the emergence of the Irish Volunteers\, the irish language\, the Easter Rising in Galway and the social history of ordinary peoples’ lives will all be examined. \nThe conference kicks off at 9.30 am on both days and enquires can be sent to Dr Conor McNamara\, conor.mcnamara@nuigalway.ie

SUMMARY:English Seminar ' Towards a World Literature Network Seeding Event Series' - Special Topic: Women and World Literature
DESCRIPTION:Towards a World Literature Network Seeding Event Series  \nSpecial Topic: Women and World Literature \n21st July 2016 – Seminar Room GO10\, Hardiman Research Building. \nRecent debates surrounding the definition and scope of world literature have sparked a resurgence of interest in the concept of the disciplinary boundaries of literary studies. This resurgence has been amplified by questions about the dominance of English as the language of globalisation; the demands of the digital age; and the fallout from the global financial crisis. Some of the key questions that have arisen are: How do we define world literature? How is ‰Û÷world literature’ to be taught? What issues surround the dissemination of research in world literature? Our main focus for this event is to pick up and build on conversations from previous seeding events\, but we are also keen to start some new ones\, particularly with emphasis on the intersection of transnational feminism\, women’s studies\, gender studies and world literature. \nFurther enquiries to Zania Koppe at z.koppe1@nuigalway.ie or Sorcha Gunne at sorcha.gunne@nuigalway.ie
