New Book: Mexicans, Chileans, and Irish in California | |
Sender: The Irish Diaspora Studies List
From: Bill Mulligan Subject: New Book: Mexicans, Chileans, and Irish in California MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: I can't translate this for the list, but I know Spanish enough to know it will be of interest. Perhaps one of our members who has better Spanish can provide a summary. El libro ¡Muchos extranjeros para mi gusto! Mexicanos, chilenos e irlandeses en la construcción de California, 1848-1880 (Santiago: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2016), aborda un tema de mucha contingencia en la actualidad: las migraciones y los conflictos derivados del desplazamiento de gente. Resulta iluminador para comprender lo que se discute hoy en Estados Unidos porque trata del efecto que tuvieron las primeras migraciones masivas de mexicanos a ese país a contar de 1848. También porque analiza la migración de chilenos a California y la discriminación que ellos sufrieron, tema interesante de debatir en un contexto actual en que parte de la sociedad chilena resiste el arribo de inmigrantes al país. El libro gira en torno a la fascinante a la vez que dramática historia de la construcción socio-cultural de California tras la conquista de dicho territorio por parte de Estados Unidos. Cubriendo las primeras tres décadas que siguieron a la fiebre del oro de 1848, el libro aborda, con una mezcla de apasionantes narraciones y agudo análisis, la forma en que tres comunidades de inmigrantes lucharon por acomodarse y dar forma a la nueva sociedad que abrió las puertas del océano Pacífico a Estados Unidos. Mexicanos, chilenos e irlandeses son los protagonistas de esta historia de aventureros e inmigrantes que sufrieron y buscaron espacios en un mundo de hegemonía cultural angloamericana donde el racismo, los linchamientos, los abusos y la exclusión marcaron los años de la fiebre del oro y las décadas siguientes. El libro sigue las trayectorias de estas comunidades tras el período de bonanzas auríferas para develar la forma en que las conexiones que estos grupos mantuvieron y desarrollaron con sus países de origen, resultaron fundamentales para darle cuerpo a una sociedad como la de California que ha estado, desde sus orígenes, fuertemente marcada por las diferencias raciales y por su carácter transnacional. El contexto de California y las experiencias transnacionales marcaron diferentes rumbos para las tres comunidades. Es así como los "exiliados" irlandeses optaron por nacionalizarse e incorporarse a través de la política, ante el prolongado dominio colonial británico en su añorada isla esmeralda. Distinto fue el caso de chilenos y mexicanos, quienes unidos en solidaridad y apoyo mutuo, especialmente en el contexto de las invasiones y conflictos de sus naciones con potencias europeas durante la década de 1860, buscaron acomodarse a través de la creación de una identidad racial que constituyó la base de cohesión para la primera comunidad "hispana" o "latina" en Estados Unidos. Las experiencias de todos estos inmigrantes nos permiten comprender facetas inexploradas de la construcción de California como sociedad transnacional, lo que resulta posible en este libro, dadas las conexiones que vinculan a San Francisco y los faldeos cordilleranos de California con lugares tan disímiles como Dublin, Tipperary, Sidney, Tasmania, Talcahuano, Valparaíso, Boston, Nueva York, Ciudad de México o Sonora. El profesor Fernando Purcell, es Ph.D. in History, University of California, Davis, ha trabajado temas de historia social, cultural y política vinculados a las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y América Latina durante los siglos XIX y XX.

Although deeply rooted in time and place, Irish songs, dances and instrumental traditions have a history of global travel that span the centuries. Whether carried by exiles, or distributed by commercial networks, Irish traditional music is one of the most popular World Music genres, while Clare, on Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, enjoys unrivaled status as a "Home of the Music," a mecca for tourists and aficionados eager to enjoy the authentic sounds of Ireland. For the first time, this remarkable soundscape is explored by an insider-a fourth generation Clare concertina player, uilleann piper and an internationally recognized authority on Irish traditional music. Entrusted with the testimonies, tune lore, and historic field recordings of Clare performers, Gearóid à hAllmhuráin reveals why this ancient place is a site of musical pilgrimage and how it absorbed the impact of global cultural flows for centuries. These flows brought musical change inwards, while simultaneously facilitating outflows of musical change to the world beyond - in more recent times, through the music of Clare stars like Martin Hayes and the Kilfenora Céilà Band. Placing the testimony of music and music makers at the center of Irish cultural history and working from a palette of disciplines, Flowing Tides explores an Irish soundscape undergoing radical change in the period from the Napoleonic Wars to the Great Famine, from the birth of the nation state to the meteoric rise-and fall-of the Celtic Tiger. It is essential reading for all interested in Irish/Celtic music and culture. What the critics say: âWith deft strokes, Gearóid à hAllmhuráin connects the small place to the big picture, creating an intimate and intricately detailed history of the renowned musical tradition of County Clare. Flowing Tides will become a monument of Irish ethnomusicology.â âHenry Glassie, author, Irish Folktales and The Stars of Ballymenone âAn immensely readable, informative, and innovative explanation of how history, culture, tradition and art create and recreate place. Destined to become a classic!â âNancy Groce, Ph.D., Senior Folklorist, Library of Congress , Washington, D.C. âFlowing Tides is the finest book to appear on the music of Clare, the county widely regarded as the centre of gravity of Irish Traditional Music.â âKevin Whelan, director, The Keough Naughton Notre Dame Centre, Dublin âYou should most definitely have this book in your library! Everything youâd want is in it! Flowing Tides truly is one of the best books available, filled with true and accurate extracts of our musical heritage.â âSéamus Connolly, Boston College Gaelic Roots series and the Séamus Connolly Collection of Irish Music âFlowing Tides represents a decisive contribution to the discourse of ethnomusicology in general, and to the understanding of Irish music as a meta-narrative of social, cultural, and artistic meaning in particular. This author is one of the great authorities on Irish music and its migration to Canada and the United States.â âHarry White, MRIA , Professor of Music, University College Dublin and editor, The Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland âGearóid à hAllmhuráin's knowledge of Irish traditional music goes far beyond the academic voice that speaks to us in this magisterial study. With an abiding passion for the music of our native Clare, he knows the source of this music and knows its heart and soul even more intimately.â âMartin Hayes , Irish Master Fiddler â --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus | |

Call for Papers: Southern Regional ACIS 2017 Conference theme: Literature, History, and Memory March 9-11, 2017 University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY Confirmed Speaker: Ronald Schuchard (Goodrich C. White Professor of English, Emory University) Readings by Patrick OKeeffe (Ohio University); Joan McBreen (County Galway) We are living through a decade of centenaries as we remember or reimagine the cataclysmic events of a century ago which helped to shape the modern world the Great War, the Easter Rising, the Bolshevik Revolution. Each passing year provides an opportunity to reflect on the nature of commemoration and remembrance. This is not new: the themes of remembrance and revival are firmly embedded in the history of modern Europe, and Irish literature is permeated with the presence of the past, from Stephen Dedaluss remark, history is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake to Seamus Heaneys image of writers and historians vying with a fierce possessiveness / for the right to set the island story straight. This conference provides a venue to explore the relationship between remembering and the writing of literature and history, and to think about connections between personal, collective and national memories. Participants will explore the theme of remembering in its widest sense, from personal memories in diaries and oral histories, to collective memory embodied or transmuted in history, literature, folklore, and mythology. Participants are invited to explore the ways in which memory is used, represented and produced in Irish culture. Presenters might focus on topics that include, for example: personal and collective memory; selective memory; nostalgia; literature and memory; literary history; art history; film; history and the novel; poetry and national memory; grief and elegy; historical fiction/poetry/drama; autobiography and life writing; journals and correspondence; oral history and folklore; ethnography and anthropology; digital memory and digital cultures; archives; book history; tradition and the individual talent; anxiety of influence; the author in history; cultural revivals; ghosts; historical writing and the shaping of the past; the Great War and modern memory; the Famine; 1916; the Troubles; the Missing; history and the postcolonial; nationalism and gender; new historicism; modernism/postmodernism; music and theatre history; revisionism; nationalist, republican, and unionist history; imagined communities; cultural studies; alternative histories; feminist history; LGBT history; politics of commemoration; anniversaries and centenaries; parades, memorials, monuments; funerals; Celtic languages; Archaeology; languages in Ireland. While preference may be given to proposals related to the conference theme, we encourage proposals on any aspect of Irish Studies. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling admission basis. We welcome individual and panel submissions (3-4 participants), as well as proposals for roundtable discussions, performances, dramatic readings. Interdisciplinary topics are encouraged.

More than 70 million people worldwide can claim descent from Irish emigrants. For many decades there has been considerable scholarly interest in the history of emigration from Ireland, from its beginnings in the middle ages (to Britain and parts of Europe) through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (to all corners of the globe), and in how Irishness has been and continues to be maintained and expressed by descendant communities. However, the sheer scale of the Irish diaspora has created obstacles to an international conversation and exchange of ideas. Comparative perspectives will greatly enhance our worldwide research on subjects such as the many causes of Irish migration, the types of people who migrated, the shared or divergent experiences of the migrants in different places and times, the material remains of diaspora, the impact of migrations on host populations and cultures, and relationships between diasporic communities and Ireland.. This congress provides a stage for this long-needed, international exchange and discussion. Researchers from many fields and from every corner of the world are invited to Dublin to attend four days of plenaries and parallel sessions, where they can present their work, meet fellow-researchers, exchange ideas, and establish research networks within and across disciplinary boundaries. Proposals are invited for RESEARCH PAPERSand/orSESSIONSand/orPOSTERS Contributions may be of an empirical nature, or may address such themes as migration, transnationalism, colonialism, postcolonialism, and all perspectives from all disciplines are welcome. There are no restrictions on subject-content as we explore creating new disciplinary alliances and intellectual synergies in the field of Irish diaspora research. The Early Bird conference registration fee (until March 31 2017) for four days is 200, and 100 for students, and can be paid on-line,starting in October. Accommodation will be available on-campus for those who wish to stay in UCD for the duration of the congress, and further details will be posted on the conference web-site. To submit a proposal, please fill in the attached form. Your proposal will be considered within five days of submission. Please note that you will have an opportunity to fine-tune your title and abstract before it is published on the congress web-site, so a provisional title and abstract can be submitted, provided they remain close to the final version.

Irish in Latin America Exhibit at UCC | |
Sender: The Irish Diaspora Studies List
From: Bill Mulligan Subject: Irish in Latin America Exhibit at UCC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: Those in Cork may want to visit an exhibit at UCC on the Irish in Latin America. UCC Press release follows. Irish figures who have influenced the cultural, intellectual, scientific and political landscape of Latin America are to be celebrated in a major exhibition which was opened by President Michael D. Higgins today. The Irish in Latin America exhibition will honour historic individuals such as General Daniel O'Leary, who helped Venezuela win independence from Spain and Eliza Lynch, a national heroine in Paraguay. Ms. Lynch was the mistress of Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López. She has long been the symbol of Paraguayan pride and resistance to the genocidal attacks of its neighbours Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in the War of the Triple Alliance, which ended in 1870. Daniel O'Leary was born in Cork in 1801 and emigrated to South America in 1817. He became the aide-de-camp to the great liberator of the Americas, Simon Bolívar. The exhibition includes displays of emeralds donated to Queen's College (now UCC) by General O'Leary during his brief visit back to his native Cork in 1852. After the Spanish American Wars of Independence, General O'Leary settled in Colombia and the emeralds were sourced during his time in Bogotá. Muzo Mine, 96km north west of Bogotá, was and still is the home of the world's highest quality emeralds. Letters -- written by General O'Leary at the time of the donation -- are also being displayed as well as a selection of his thirty-four volume memoirs, the Memorias. A rare medal from Argentina in honour of the Republican Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence McSwiney, also forms a significant part of the exhibition. Professor Dermot Keogh, Emeritus Professor of History at UCC, came across the medal while researching his book, Argentina and the Irish Revolution. Eduardo Clancy, an architect from San Antonio de Areco, presented the Spanish language medal to Professor Keogh. He inherited the medal from his father. No single event during the War of Independence caused greater outrage among the Irish in Argentina than MacSwineys lengthy hunger strike. His death provoked widespread demonstrations and the holding of funeral masses in Buenos Aires and in the Irish towns in the pampas. Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade conceived the exhibition as part of the 1916 centenary commemorations. It illustrates the strong links between the Irish and Latin American people and celebrates the role of Irish immigrants in the region. It also highlights Ireland and Latin America's shared history of colonialism and subsequent independence and revolutionary struggles. It tells the story of Irish men and women who migrated to Latin American and Caribbean countries in the 18th and 19th centuries. The exhibition has a particular focus on Irish individuals involved in independence and revolutionary struggles across the Latin American continent. Nuala Finnegan, Professor of Latin America Studies at UCC, says this is the first time the story of the Irish in Latin America has been told in a way that is "accessible, entertaining and uplifting." "From scientists to revolutionaries, the Irish have played an enormously important role in shaping cultural and political development on that continent." The exhibition is open to the public tomorrow (January 27th) in the Aula Maxima, UCC. It will also be open to viewing in the Glucksman Gallery foyer from February 7th to the 12th and in the O'Rahilly building from the 16th to the 28th of February. | |

A Journal of Irish Studies MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies CALL FOR PAPERS Daredevils of History? Resilience in Armenia and Ireland Guest Editors: Dieter Reinisch (European University Institute) and Suzan Meryem Rosita (European University Institute) As scholars, we have often been reminded to be suspicious of origin stories, but in the cases of Armenia and Ireland, we find a shared source for resilience. Oral narratives and written accounts deal with various forms of both resilience and resistance in various contexts. The Daredevils of Sassoun and the Irish Fianna can be read as heroic folk tales imbued with the spirit of nationhood, struggle and resistance and are just two examples of the parallels between Armenian and Irish folklore, culture, and history. This special issue of Studi irlandesi aims to bring together scholars working in various disciplines with an interest in Armenia and Ireland, as well as practitioners writers and artists. In short, all people with an academic or artistic interest in the two countries. As guest editors, we invite you to submit papers in your area of research, or as part of your artistic practice, and on topics related to the intercultural connections between Armenia and Ireland. We are particularly interested in receiving paper proposals that engage with the notion of resilience in historical myths, subversive folklore, and contemporary protest movements. Resilience here is understood not merely as an individual act of heroism and bravery but also as a communal, social and relational interaction which reveals itself in various social and political movements and cultural forms and expressions of resistance.

From: Bill Mulligan Subject: CFP: EFACIS 2017 A CORU=?iso-8859-1?Q?=D1A?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: EFACIS 2017 A CORUÑA The response for our conference has been fantastic. As usual, however, we are still getting people writing to us asking if they can still submit proposals. Due to this demand we have decided to extend the deadline until March 31st. After this date we will have to stop receiving proposals. Please let your members and colleagues have this information by circulating the extended deadline CFP attached. The conference website will go live shortly, with full details of registration, plenary speakers, social activities, hotels etc. Many thanks and looking forward to welcoming you to the beautiful coastline of the Iberian Atlantic. Dave Translocation: Pathways in Irish Studies EFACIS CONFERENCE A CORUÑA 2017 Second Call for Papers EXTENDED DEADLINE MARCH 31st 2017 Whither Irish studies? Where are we and where are we going? With scholars from every continent in universities all over the world, Irish studies is a multidisciplinary field which has expanded well beyond its initial home, geographically in Irish, British and American universities, and academically, in historical and literary studies. Irish studies flourishes in academic institutions from Beijing to Buenos Aires, from Mumbai to Moscow, and in a varied and expanding range of disciplines, including politics and sociology, musical studies, film and media studies, the visual and plastic arts, and sports studies, to name but a few. Translocation, defined as the act, process, or an instance of changing location or position, seems a fitting umbrella title to embrace the multiple themes which will be under discussion at the EFACIS Conference 2017, to be held in the beautiful Galician coastal city of A Coruña. This conference aims to be a celebration of all these different pathways in the vast field of Irish Studies and to debate the present and future of the field, with academics, experts and administrators from a variety of different academic and geographical background, while attempting to showcase the wealth and breadth of research being undertaken throughout the world. The globalisation of Irish Studies as an academic field brings with it new possibilities and fresh challenges. With new means of distribution and transmission of Irish culture, the growing irrelevance of national frontiers and a potential market of a worldwide nature, the translocal world offers enormous possibilities to and places great demands on Irish Studies. The island itself is demographically and socially in a period of flux, and Galicia, a small stateless nation with historical, cultural and emotional links to Ireland, seems an appropriate location for scholars in Irish Studies to gather to discuss the present, past and future of the field Papers are welcome on all areas of Irish studies, including but not limited to: - New ways of conveying, using and transmitting different forms of Irish culture - Demographic change and cultural transmission - Irish Studies in the world: considerations upon changing perspectives/paradigms and methodologies - Imagining translocal space - Ecocriticism (eco-sustainable narratives) - Borders and border spaces - Transnational cultural transmission - Popular culture and the translocal - Exploring translocalities - Sociology and change - International, multinational, transnational and anti-national - The visual arts and translocation - World music and world audiences - Translocal spaces in the production and content of film - The translocal world of the contemporary television series - Travel literature - Representations of forced and voluntary relocations/migrations/emigrations - Transmigration - Post Celtic Tiger economies - Dramatic production and performance in a changing world -Translation and translocation - Online writing, online reading - Academic locations and reallocations of Irish Studies - Postcoloniality, subalternity and gender in Irish Studies. - Biopolitics/Necropolitics in Irish Studies. - Transculturation, cultural hybridity and intercultural dialogue in Irish Studies. - Irish Studies in a comparatist perspective (with Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Galician, Catalan and Basque Studies among others). Please sent abstract of 250 words plus short biography (2-3 lines) by 31st March 2017 to efacis17[at]gmail.com. David Clark Conference organiser | |

To learn about accommodation options in São Paulo, click here. Rethinking Cultural Trauma from Transnational Perspectives The aim of the Conference is to gather SPeCTReSS researchers to discuss the results of the three-year international joint-research project developed by nine universities: Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), Rurh-Universität, Bochum (Germany), Jagiellonian University (Poland), University of Tartu (Estonia), Zagreb University (Croatia), Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), University of São Paulo (Brazil), Yale University (United States) and University of Tokyo (Japan). Delegates of the annual ABEI symposium of Irish Studies in South America and researchers of the WB Yeats Chair of Irish Studies will also join the event hosted by the University of São Paulo. The main theme follows previous encounters of the SPeCTReSS research group led by Trinity College Dublin, the yearly discussions at the Summer Institute of Cultural Trauma organized by Zagreb University, as well as the regular meetings of the University of São Paulo research group with SPeCTReSS incoming secondees. Considering that the concept of cultural trauma is a theoretical construct that allows us to set up borders around an occurrence that reaches back into the past and forward into the future, the multicultural discursive responses which disclose the processes of meaning making and attribution will be focused within the social fabric of the contemporary transcultural global space. Rethinking cultural trauma from transnational perspectives tackles the shared experiences of social transformations and the double bound effects that a devastating idea could positively construct a communal way of life. Departing from Piotr Sztompkas traumatic sequence (2004: 168-9), the post-traumatic adaptations and the overcoming of trauma will be discussed in dialogue with the sudden, comprehensive, deep and unexpected social changes, the structural disorganization of cultures, the traumatizing events that resulted from social changes and the traumatic condition expressed by a set of traumatic symptoms (mental or behavioural). The history of nations has been marked by traumatizing events such as revolutions, market collapses, lost wars, fall of empires, radical economic reforms, unemployment, forced migrations, genocides, terrorism and famines. Lectures, round tables, and panels led by SPeCTReSS researchers will bring up to light the results of their studies on the role of collective memory in the process of narrating post-traumatic actions and of constructing new national identities across different systems and forms of experiencing cultural trauma. The sections will be organized around the five main topics of the project, which will motivate other scholars to present their own research in dialogue with them: - Historical continuities and discontinuities after cultural trauma (colonialism, imperialism, dictatorships; new sovereignties). - Culture, society and its institutions (museums, archives, textbooks). - Narratives and discourses of the nation (particular tropes, language issues, genres, etc). - Fractured unities: the national and the global; the diasporic and the individual; the internal and external forces of refugees and (im)migrants. - Writing and performing the nation (strategies and acts of resistance or recreation of certain local or global patterns of representation or of performing arts; canonical frameworks; the role of the artist). Keynote speakers: Bodh Prakash (Ambedkar University, Delhi) Cahal McLaughlin (Queens University Belfast) Ene Koresaar (Tartu University) Eunan OHalpin (Trinity College Dublin) Jane Ohlmeyer (Trinity College Dublin) Jennifer Edmond (Trinity College Dublin) Juergen Barkhof (Trinity College Dublin) Melania Terrazas (University of La Rioja, Spain & AEDEI - Spanish Association of Irish Studies) Sean Homer (American University, Bulgaria) Sucheta Mahajan (Jawaharlal Nehru University) Tomasz Bilczewski (Jagellonian University, Poland) Science Gallery Dublin and more to be confirmed.

CFP: MIDWEST ACIS REGIONAL CONFERENCE The University of Missouri October 5-7, 2017 We invite proposals for paper on any topic in Irish Studies, but the conference is particularly interested in papers that explore the concept of resistance in Irish history and culture. The concept is as old as Ireland, and has taken on manifold forms, from the more obvious armed struggles against colonial power to more recent reactions to racism or the global financial and immigration crises. Irish language and literature offer innumerable examples of resistance, with forceful challenges to forces such as linguistic domination, gender formations, political oppression, state censorship, religious control, disciplines of sexualities, economic injustice, literary traditions and forms, and consumerism. We welcome fully formed panels of 3-4 participants, as well as individual papers.
