Hello,

I'd be grateful if you could post the following call for papers. Thank
you.

The Canadian Association for Irish Studies
L?Association canadienne d?études irlandaises

Conference / Réunion 2003

University of New Brunswick, Fredericton
May 21-24 mai 2003
Theme : ?Ireland Old and New? / « L?Irlande: Vieux et nouveaux


The Canadian Association for Irish Studies (CAIS) solicits submissions
for its 2003 conference. With our topic ?Ireland Old and New,? we are
looking for a wide variety of papers from a broad spectrum of
discourses. Contributions on historical questions, political
developments, literary analyses, broad cultural investigations, or
presentations on specific issues in Irish literature, theatre, film,
television, radio, music, visual arts, etc. are welcome. A maritime
province, New Brunswick is also Canada?s only officially bilingual
province; thus, papers on the role of the Irish in the culture of the
Maritime provinces and on bilingualism in Canada and Ireland would be
especially welcome.

Topics could include:


? Emerging voices in Irish literature, theatre or arts

? Examinations of mediaeval narrative

? The role of globalisation in Irish culture

? The place of Irish in the country?s past or future

? The Northern peace process: its prospects or roots

? The legacy of the 1798 rising

? The impact of Irish culture on immigration and emigration

? Ireland and the European Union

? Changing interpretations of 19th century Ireland

? Cultural nationalism and the ?new Ireland? of the 1990s

? The importance of material culture in Irish history

? Various ?new Irelands? in Ireland?s past (e.g. 2003 is the
bicentennial of the Emmet uprising)

? Memory, remembering and Irish culture


CAIS prides itself on the diversity of its membership; as such,
potential presenters are asked to bear in mind the interdisciplinary and
often non-academic character of conference participants. Presenters
must also be scrupulous about keeping their presentations to 20
minutes. Presenters must also be paid-up members of CAIS.

To submit to the conference, send a short abstract, preferably via
email, in English or in French, and no later than 1 February 2003, to:

European "Academy of Sciences"?
****************************************
The UK Royal Society urges caution about European "academy of sciences":
The Royal Society issues a warning to scientists in the UK and abroad to
exercise due caution before making financial commitments to the organisers
of a body calling itself the European Academy of Sciences.

Following an investigation by the international journal Nature, the Royal
Society has attempted to contact the organisers of the European Academy of
Sciences for further details of its operation, including its statutes. The
Society has also approached the Commission for confirmation of a claim by
the European Academy of Sciences that they have been engaged in a
collaborative project. Enquiries by the Royal Society have revealed that
other European national academies, and pan-European organisations such as
the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) and the All
European Academies (ALLEA), have no previous knowledge of the body and have
not endorsed its activities.

The organisers of the body have set up a website, on which are posted
details of the national science academies, including the Royal Society,
even though these academies have not provided backing for the European
Academy of Sciences. A number of scientists have received in recent months
an unsolicited letter announcing that they have been elected a member of
the European Academy of Sciences. This letter requests payment of a
subscription fee of EUROS 115, together with credit card details.

I've been thinking that we ought to do something about this prize - surely
to goodness something within Irish Diaspora Studies would qualify...

Maybe Kerby Miller's article in Eire-Ireland, 'The famine's scars: William
Murphy's Ulster and American odyssey'., which demands a re-think of Irish
Protestant experience of the Famine and Irish Protestant migration to North
America?

But I see that technically Kerby's article was published in
Eire-Ireland:Journal of Irish Studies
Spring-Summer, 2001

Any other suggestions?

available free on FindArticles...

From: "Murray, Edmundo"

In a letter written in 1864 by John James Murphy (1822-1909) in Argentina
and addressed to his brother Martin in Kilrane, Co. Wexford, he regrets that
the £200 dowry assigned to their sister Margaret would be too high in
relation with the suitor's properties. Could anyone in this list suggest
readings about the dowry institution in Ireland at that time?

We have been trying recently to develop a policy of not simply distributing
bald information - for example, in the case of articles, of at least trying
to get hold of the Abstract.

But the Pacific Historical Review has one of the most guarded web sites that
I have come across... And I have been able to get nothing out of it, and
all my usual routes have not succeeded.

Malcolm Campbell had a very interesting chapter in Bielenberg, ed. The Irish
Diaspora, Longman, 2000 - 'Immigrants on the Land', comparing Irish rural
settlement in Minnesota and New South Wales. A comparison which forced him
to conclude that there was a need to abandon stereotypical assertions about
the Irish and - wait for it - land...

So, this latest Campbell comparative article seems worth following up.
Perhaps someone with access to Pacific Historical Review could tell us more?

Subject: Re: Ir-D Web Resource, British Pathe

From: Paul O'Leary

British Pathe News is an extremely useful source for some aspects of the
twentieth century. However, it did self-censor some politically contentious
topics.

The usefulness of its archive does depend to some extent on knowing (or
suspecting) that something specific is there. An historian of film told me
that Pathe's most filmed event in Wales between the wars was the Cardiff
Corpus Christi procession, and a search yields two examples of this, as
well as another procession at Liverpool and a number on the continent.
Also, there is film of the funeral of the boxer 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll,
from Cardiff's 'Little Ireland' - very much like a state funeral, with
military, gun carriage, etc. I'm told by someone who knows about these
things that the funeral was the first occasion when an outdoor news clip in
Britain used more than one camera to gain different perspectives of the
same incident. Which is probably more detail than any of us need to know ...

Subject: Re: Ir-D Source?

Dear Paddy,

You're certainly right - Mitchel said something closely along these lines.
His "Jail Journal" begins, "England has been left in possession not only of
the Soil of Ireland... but in possession of the world's ear also. She may
pour into it what tale she will: and all mankind will believe her." This is
a highly resonant (and memorable) phrase; very apt to introduce Mitchel's
war of words, and a great example of textual anti-colonialism.

This quote also opens Patsy Adam-Smith's "Heart Of Exile", an account of
the Young Irelanders in Australia. It is also an important idea for
Christopher Koch in "Out Of Ireland"...

Subject: Campbell Article Outline

Malcolm Campbell,
Ireland's Furthest Shores: Irish Immigrant Settlement
in Nineteenth-Century California and Eastern Australia,

Pacific Historical Review Vol. 71, no. 1 pp. 59-90.

Campbell presents the idea that the Irish who settled the west coast of
the U.S. had more in common with those who settled eastern Australia and
New Zealand than those who settled the east coast of the U.S. In both
cases (California and eastern Australia) the Irish formed 'large and
dynamic' communities that experienced relatively untroubled adaptation
to the New World compared with the bleak conditions present in the
eastern United States, and in each location the immigrants achieved
satisfactory levels of prosperity within a generation. He further
argues for moving beyond 'national narratives' in looking at the
experience of Irish immigrants on both sides of the Pacific, and, more
generally, for the benefits of dialogue between historian of eastern
Australia and California.

From: "Michael Kenneally"
To:
Subject: Query


I have a query about Sheridan. I'm looking for the putative source of
"Ireland is a rich and flourishing Nation." That phrase appears in The
Intelligencer No. 6 (on p89 of J. Woolley's Clarendon ed.); and it
reportedly epitomizes the English view of Ireland's economic conditions
that Sheridan is lambasting in that number. The phrase is italicized
and therefore suggests that it is a quotation. The only other thing in
Intelligencer 6 (a mid-1728 issue) that may be pertinent to identifying
the source of the quotation (if, of course, it is that) comes from/with
Sheridan's characterization of the phrase as "new Cant."


Many thanks,

Michael
