Title '[T]hunder storms is verry dangese in this countrey they come in
less than a minnits notice...': The Northern Subject Rule in Southern Irish
English
Author Kevin McCafferty
Citation English World-Wide 1/1/2004 Vol 25(1) p51-
YEAR 2004

Abstract It has been suggested that use of the Northern Subject Rule
(NSR) in Southern Irish English (SIrE) is the result of diffusion from
Ulster-Scots dialects of the North of Ireland, where many Scots settled in
the 17th century. 19th-century Irish-Australian emigrant letters show the
main NSR constraint -- which permits plural verbal -s with noun phrase
subjects but prohibits it with an adjacent third plural pronoun -- to have
been as robust in varieties of SIrE as it was in Northern Irish English
(NIrE) of the same period. Before British colonisation of Ireland, the NSR
was present in dialects of Northern England and the North Midlands, regions
which contributed substantially to English settlement in the South of
Ireland. It is therefore suggested here that the NSR in SIrE might be a
retention of a vernacular feature of NSR dialects that were taken to Ireland
from the English North and North Midlands rather than a feature that
diffused southwards in Ireland after 1600.

Women's Employment and Industrial Organisation: commercial lace embroidery
in early nineteenth-century Ireland and England

PAMELA SHARPE University of Bristol, United Kingdom
STANLEY D. CHAPMAN University of Nottingham, United Kingdom

The early nineteenth century saw expanding work opportunities for women in
commercial lace embroidery in Britain. This article traces the connection
between the development of commercial lace embroidery in several locations -
Nottingham, Essex and Limerick. Despite the fame of the Irish industry, it
has received almost no academic attention. The differing structures of the
Irish and English industries are examined. Aspects of lace manufacture
highlight the increasing emphasis on cleanliness and the respectability of
women's work in the nineteenth century. The authors suggest that to
appreciate fully the impact of the Industrial Revolution on women's
employment opportunities, we must look to the periphery of the national
economy, as well as the centre.

Title Shaping childhood risk in post-conflict rural Northern Ireland
Author Sarah Maguire
Citation Children's Geographies 2/1/2004 Vol 2(1) p69-
YEAR 2004

Abstract The realities of the ethno-sectarian conflict have dominated
the analysis of social problems within the context of Northern Ireland
(NI). As a result of this, issues such as non-conflict related
childhood risk have received less attention than in the remainder of the UK.
However, with the rapidly changing agenda of the Peace Process there is now
the momentum to take a broader approach to examining Northern Irish society.
This paper examines children's own experiences of growing up in rural NI and
explores their own and adults' perceptions of the risks that they encounter
and the resulting constraints placed on children's activity outside the
home. It is evident that the legacy and reproduction of ethno-sectarian
conflict still influences notions of fear and mistrust of 'an
ethno-sectarian other'. However, as shown within this paper these fears run
in parallel with other fears that are constructed around concerns over
'everyday' risks that are evident in the range of outdoor play practices
reported by the children involved in the study.

Title Ireland, India, and the Poetics of Internationalism
Author Gauri Viswanathan
Citation Journal of World History 2/5/2004 Vol 15(1) p7-
YEAR 2004

Abstract Focusing on decolonization and the home rule movement in
India and Ireland, this article examines the career of the poet and
theosophist James Cousins, who left a flourishing career in Dublin and
settled in India in 1915. The substantial body of work published by Cousins
in India represents his attempt to work through issues of realism and
idealism in art that, in his view, remained unresolved in the Irish cultural
renaissance. In his literary criticism he sought to find satisfactory models
to deal with the pressing questions of decolonization and home rule.
Privileging art over politics, Cousins regarded the Indian renaissance not
as a moment of political awakening but rather as a movement toward aesthetic
and philosophical unity, in stark contrast to the Irish literary revival,
which was driven primarily by political goals. Drawing on such diverse
thinkers as Tagore and Okakura, Cousins maintained that the struggle for
freedom was essentially an expansion of critical consciousness. The real
measure of civilizational strength for him was the accommodation of inner
growth by external conditions. Where such conditions did not exist, only
violence could result. Cousins pointed to the French Revolution as history's
prime example of the reduction of the ideal to the assertion of local,
narcissistic needs.

The result of the friction between world idealism and political
realism was the self-centered nationalism that Cousins abhorred as an
aberration from the true course of human history. In his attempt to develop
an aesthetics that could accommodate politics without being subordinated to
it, however, Cousins drove his own work into oblivion, as other models of
internationalism that were more overtly political and economic gained
ascendancy.

Subject: Spanish association for Irish studies

A chairde

Last week I attended the 4th annual conference of the Spanish association of
Irish studies in Malaga and I would like to let list members know what an
excellent event it was in every way.

The theme of the conference was Humour & Tragedy in Ireland and it gave the
opportunity for both young and established scholars from Spain, Ireland,
France, England, Latin America and elsewhere to present papers inter alia in
history, literature, language (including Ulster-Scots)film studies and
identity. Migration studies was under-represented but I am sure this will be
rectified in future years. Seamus Deane and Ailbhe Smith were amongst the
keynote speakers.

The association is a only a few years old but the professionalism with which
the event was organised and executed belied its youth.

Apart from the intellectual content which was exemplary, I must also praise
the the organisers for the hospitality shown to delegates and speakers (I
don´t recall ever returning from an academic conference with an extra inch
on my
waistline!) The warmth of their welcome was only surpassed by their love for
Ireland and Irish culture.

As I said earlier the Association is a still young and growing and would
welcome contact with scholars and Irish studies organisations elswhere in
the world. I would ask list members to offer them whatever support they are
able, if only by forwarding this posting to other relevant lists.

If anyone wants further contact information or details of the specific
presentations given, please do not hesitate to contact me off list. In the
meantime hasta la vista y viva espana, baby:-)

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 20:16:29

You have been added to the IR-D mailing list (The Irish Diaspora Studies
List) by Patrick O'Sullivan .

Please save this message for future reference, especially if this is the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to leave the list, you will find the necessary instructions below.
Perhaps more importantly, saving a copy of this message (and of all
future subscription notices from other mailing lists) in a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed to. This may prove very useful the next time you go on
vacation and need to leave the lists temporarily so as not to fill up
your mailbox while you are away! You should also save the "welcome
messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list,
just send mail to IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK. This is called "sending mail to
the list," because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes
copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address
(IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK) is also called the "list address." You must never
try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to
all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the
"LISTSERV address," LISTSERV[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK. It is very important to
understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not
complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that connects you
to a machine, whereas the list address is like a normal voice line
connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number
when you wanted to talk to someone on the phone, you will quickly realize
that you used the wrong number and call again. No harm will have been
done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your FAX call someone's
voice line, the person receiving the call will be inconvenienced,
especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The fact that most
people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the voice line to allow
the FAX to go through and make the calls stop does not mean that you
should continue to send FAXes to the voice number. People would just get
mad at you. It works pretty much the same way with mailing lists, with
the difference that you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at
the same time, and consequently you can expect a lot of people to get
upset if you consistently send commands to the list address.

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF IR-D" command to
LISTSERV[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK. You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to
confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not trust
the system, send a "SET IR-D REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a
copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the message was
distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you may
find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program does
not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new
mail has arrived from IR-D. If you send a "SET IR-D ACK NOREPRO" command,
LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will look
different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will
know immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read later.
Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET IR-D
NOACK NOREPRO".

Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options
have been set to "SUBJECTHDR" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults.
For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY IR-D"
command to LISTSERV[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK.

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX IR-D" command to
LISTSERV[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK. You can then order these files with a "GET IR-D
LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send an
"INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the
digested version of the postings, just issue a SET IR-D DIGEST command.

IMPORTANT: This list is confidential. You should not publicly mention its
existence, or forward copies of information you have obtained from it to
third parties. Please note that the "GIVE" command is automatically
disabled for all archive files.

More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV
reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD"
command to LISTSERV[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK.

First Steps...

I've got most of the Irish-Diaspora list working on Jiscmail...

But still a few problems...

Despite my efforts, I do have a little group of problem email addresses.

Interestingly, so far, all these problem email addresses seem to be at
academic institutions - these institutions have caused problems throughout
the life of the Irish-Diaspora list. The institutions' computers may have
closed for the weekend. Or we may have met yet more spam prevention.

I'll have a look at what is happening. I have a solutions worked out.

Anyway... If you received this email, and the earlier email with the
Subject line...

'[IR-D] You have been added to the IR-D list'

you do not have to worry.

You are not one of the sickly wagons.

You are now a member of the Irish-Diaspora list at Jiscmail.

1.
Most things seem to be going well... We have moved the Irish-Diaspora list
to Jiscmail...

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/

Jiscmail runs on the Listserv list management software, which - I think -
many people will already know.

Members of the Irish-Diaspora list will have received Jiscmail's standard
welcome message - slightly modified for our needs. If anything on that
message doesn't quite fit, do not worry for the moment - we'll sort that out
later.


2.
Those of you who are familiar with Listserv will know that all management of
your membership can be done automatically by email - there is a guide to
this in Jiscmail's standard welcome message.


3.
You can also manage your membership via the Jiscmail Web interface.

For those wanting to use the Web interface...

Go to...

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/

On the left hand side you can click on
Register Password
And go to the Register Password screen.

Follow the instructions there. Put in your email address, the email address
by which you are known to the IR-D list.
Choose your Password

Your chosen Password is then confirmed by email in the usual way.

When you have registered your Password and received confirmation by email
you can go back to Jiscmail, and, again on the left hand side you can click
on Subscriber's Corner and get to a new screen. There, using your email
address and your Password, you can enter your Subscriber's Corner, and set
up various Ir-D list options...

Some of you will already be known to Jiscmail, and these procedures will be
familiar.


4.
The advantages for us is that with Jiscmail all these processes really are
automatic and can be managed by the Irish-Diaspora list members themselves.
There is far less work for us behind the scenes.

If you have any problems it is worth browsing around the Jiscmail web site,
and look at guidance there.

Obviously if anyone has real problems feel free to contact me directly on
Patrick O'Sullivan


5.
ARCHIVES
From this moment Jiscmail will start to construct an Irish-Diaspora list
archive of its own. This new archive can be consulted at Jiscmail by
Irish-Diaspora list members.

However I have set things up so that our existing Irish-Diaspora archive, at
www.irishdiaspora.net, will continue to be added to, as before. It seemed
to me worth keeping that cumulative resource in existence, as a continuing
entity.


6.
So...

From now on the email address of the Irish-Diaspora list is...

IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK

You will see that our little identifier IR-D, at the beginning of the
Subject line, is now in square brackets, thus [IR-D].

Called to arms: Australian soldiers in the Easter Rising 1916
Jeff Kildea

1 On 24 April 1916, Easter Monday, members of the Irish Volunteers and =
the
Irish Citizen Army, under orders from the Military Council of the Irish
Republican Brotherhood, occupied buildings in strategic locations =
throughout
the city of Dublin. At 12.30 pm their leader, P=E1draic Pearse, a =
teacher and
barrister turned revolutionary, emerged from the General Post Office, =
which
had been seized by the insurgents shortly before, and read aloud to the
small but bemused crowd gathered in Sackville Street (now O=92Connell =
Street)
the proclamation of the Irish Republic. For the next six days the
insurgents, armed only with rifles and shotguns and numbering less than
1000, maintained their hold on the city against the military might of =
the
British Empire, which assembled a force of at least 16,000 with =
armaments
that included artillery and the gunboat Helga.[1]
Diggers in Dublin

2 Among the Crown forces who put down the rising were Australian =
soldiers in
Dublin at the time the fighting broke out. This little known involvement =
of
Australian soldiers in the Easter Rising is alluded to in a biography of
Michael Collins by Tim Pat Coogan who, after describing the treatment of
Irish prisoners by soldiers of the British Army, wrote:

And the cheery word, and even the cup of tea, was not unknown,
particularly when an Australian unit relieved the Royal Irish Rifles =
from
Belfast.[2]

Unfortunately, Coogan did not identify the Australian unit or disclose =
his
source for saying there was such a unit in Dublin during the Easter =
Rising.
Nevertheless, other published works on the rising also mention the =
presence
of Australians in Dublin.

....

86 More than eighty-five years on, we know a lot more about the rising, =
its
causes and consequences than those in the thick of the action in 1916. =
But
that should not colour our judgment of the deeds of the diggers in =
Dublin.
At the time they would have shared Sergeant Makin=92s opinion of the
insurgents. And although they might not have liked doing what they were
ordered to do, they would have seen it as their duty as loyal soldiers =
of
the Empire to answer the call to arms and =93to resist His Majesty=92s =
enemies
and cause His Majesty=92s peace to be kept and maintained=94.[91]=20

To continue my laboured metaphor...

A number of sickly wagons have rejoined our wagon train - meaning that, as I
suspected, some problems had to do with academic institutions closing down
their computers over the weekend.

Anyone who receives this message and who did NOT receive the earlier email
with the Subject line...

'[IR-D] You have been added to the IR-D list'

should contact me directly. It contais information that Jiscmail thinks you
should have.

I am going to send one last message via the Majordomo system at the
University of Bradford, in an effort to contact the strays.

Then I will close down the Ir-D list at Bradford.

Members of the Irish Diaspora list should now feel free to post messages to
Irish Diaspora Studies list

Note that the Irish Diaspora list continues to be a moderated list - indeed
a fiercely moderated list - as before. Though in fact I find that being
moderator of the IR-D list usually involves saving people from themselves...

There has been some discussion in the media of the Mullanphy collection -
and I thought we should acknowledge the Irish Diaspora resonances.

Oddly, the discussion here of Mullanphy senior has constantly referred to
him as an 'Ulsterman'. Is there some sort of coded discussion in the
background, or am I being over-sensitive? Note that Stonyhurst is a
Catholic school...

'Native American Art. Irish American Trade.

The Stonyhurst Mullanphy Collection.

In 1825 an Ulster American schoolboy Bryan Mullanphy, brought to Stonyhurst,
his school in England, a unique collection of Native American Art. This
exhibition includes a rare map showing land sales in the 1770s. It also
includes examples of the souvenir Native American objects, which continued
to express Native identity through the nineteenth century, as well as Powwow
costume demonstrating the successful maintenance of Native traditions
to-day.

Ireland votes in favour of curbs on citizenship

Henry McDonald, Ireland editor
Sunday June 13, 2004
The Observer

Ireland has massively endorsed its government's plans to strip African and
eastern European children and their parents living in the republic of Irish
citizenship.

The electorate appeared yesterday to have backed the removal of the right of
parents of Irish-born children to become citizens...

Country's emigrant past lies forgotten as Irish accused of racism

Poll exposes xenophobia towards immigrants

Angelique Chrisafis, Ireland correspondent
Monday June 21, 2004
The Guardian

'On Dublin's Moore Street, an old man in a flat cap unloaded spuds from a
horse and cart outside the African hairdresser's. Cut-price, fibre-optic
Virgin Marys glowed in a shop window near the Asian supermarket. Moore
Street is the last inner-city bastion of the working-class Dubliner, and the
home of a new phenomenon: multicultural Ireland.

Sharon O'Donnell, a flower-seller here for 20 years, was not so sure about
the transition. "I'm not a racist but people from outside are abusing the
system," she said. She had heard rumours of a "no whites" sign in a shop
window. She felt Dublin's hospitals were so full of foreigners arriving to
give birth that she went private to deliver her last child.

Ireland has been gripped by an outbreak of soul-searching this week after
Mrs O'Donnell and 80% of the electorate voted in favour of changing the
constitution to limit the rights of "non-nationals". The country of 100,000
welcomes, which still remembers the "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish" signs
that greeted its emigrants in 60s Britain, has woken up to face a new
accusation from its liberals: that it has morphed into a nation of racists
and xenophobes....'

Archaeological Sciences at the University of Bradford.

P.O'S.

PRESS RELEASE

Past Poetic=20
Archaeology in the Poetry of=20
W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney

by Christine Finn

This book considers the way two great Anglo-Irish poets, W.B. Yeats and
Seamus Heaney, have used archaeology in their work, and how it surfaced =
in
their lives. As well as providing new and unique insights on Yeats and
Heaney, this study of their poetry and inter-disciplinary analysis =
provides
a filter for an original reading of the history of archaeology as it =
emerged
from the antiquarianism of the mid-nineteenth century.=20

Christine Finn draws on an array of data in a journey through childhood =
and
adult landscapes, popular and little-known archaeological sites, tracing =
the
path of the poets through museums and homes, drawing on classical =
statues
and haunting bog bodies, from Ireland to England, and from Byzantine =
chapels
in Italy to the gilded mosaics of Stockholm, where both Yeats and Heaney
received the Nobel Prize.=20

Past Poetic reveals the ways in which these two poets received the past, =
as
images in books and photographs, as people and places in memory, and as
tangible objects.

Christine Finn was an award-winning journalist and a Reuter Journalist
Research Fellow before studying archaeology and anthropology at Oxford
University as a mature undergraduate. In 2003 she joined the University =
of
Bradford as an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of =
Archaeological
Sciences and Writer-in-Residence in the J.B. Priestley Library, where =
she is
writing the authorised biography of Jacquetta Hawkes, Priestley=92s
archaeologist wife. She is the author of Artifacts: an archaeologist=92s =
year
in Silicon Valley (2001), and co-editor of Ancient Muses: archaeology =
and
the arts (2003) and Outside Archaeology: material culture and the poetic
imagination (2001). In 2002 she was elected a Fellow of the Society of
Antiquaries of London.
