1.
Parley Poet and Chanter - A life of Pecker Dunne

Biography of the Pecker Dunne. The Pecker Dunne is a member of one of =
the
oldest Travelling families in Ireland and a well-known character =
throughout
Ireland. The Dunnes are a well-known musical family who, for the past
hundred years, have brought their unique style of Traveller music to
audiences all over the length of breadth of Ireland. This book traces
Pecker's upbringing on the road, his travels in a horse-drawn caravan to
country fairs, race meetings and sporting events and the development of =
his
own unique ballad-style of singing. It also gives his insight into many
aspects of Traveller language and culture and the Traveller fight for
self-recognition as a distinct cultural group in Ireland. In this vivid
account of his life he recalls his travels in Australia, playing for =
huge
audiences in New York, working with the Dubliners and with Richard =
Harris on
the film Trojan Eddie. He gives a glimpse into many aspects of Traveller
culture which are under threat today and discusses the history of his =
own
group, the fairground or showpeople. His moving description of his =
battle
with alcoholism, the hardships of life on the road, and the prejudices =
and
racism endured by Travellers give a special poignancy to his life story.

Publisher: A. and A. Farmar Press, Dublin.

128 pages including picture section, price 14.99 euro (including free =
CD)


2.
The CandleLight Painter - The Life and Work of William Cawley, =
Traveller,
Painter and Poet

This is a biography of a Limerick Traveller who is an acknowledged =
painter,
poet and musician. He is known as the Candlelight Painter because he =
paints
at night, by the flicker of candles, in his trailer parked at the front =
of
his house. His story covers his life on the road as a child, his time =
spent
in reform school and as an emigrant in London. He discusses his leaving =
of
the road, his settling in a house and his discovery of painting when in =
his
late thirties. He also discusses his community's culture, traditions and
ways of earning a living. The book includes reproductions of his poetry =
and
some of the eight hundred paintings he has completed to date. It was not
until he was in his thirties that Willy discovered his vocation. As he
writes: "Discovering painting made my life complete. It was just a =
matter of
time before the hundreds of images and scenes that I had stored in my
childhood memory progressed out through me." The Travelling community =
have
lived on the margins of Irish society for hundreds of years. Their =
culture
including their language Cant/Gammon, has been much-maligned and little
appreciated. This book is a small window through which we can see =
glimpses
of a unique Irish culture, a culture with a long and proud history.

Publisher: A. and A. Farmar Press, Dublin.

128 pages paperback including full colour reproductions of W. Cauley's
unique paintings. 14.99 euro.

Performing 'Jiggs': Irish Caricature and Comedic Ambivalence toward
As=F8similation and the American Dream in George McManus's Bringing Up =
Father
By Kerry Soper, Brigham Young University


Many fans and scholars of newspaper comics have observed that an
excellent way to chart a social history of American culture in the =
twentieth
century is to look at the mainstream comic strip page.1 This may be
especially true of the first half of the twentieth century when comic =
strips
were avidly followed by readers from almost all age, class, and ethnic
demographics.2 Because of this breadth of popularity, the comics page =
was a
fairly accurate reflector (and occasionally, shaper) of fashions, fads,
humor, politics, and racial prejudices. Early cartoonists' ability to =
place
their fingers on the American pulse can largely be attributed to the
industry's eagerness to please readers: as a lowbrow entertainment that
targeted broad audiences through street corner sales, and later, =
national
syndication, it tried to anticipate the characters, comedy, and =
ideological
content that would attract and retain devoted readers. A few =
iconoclastic
cartoonists such as Al Capp (Li'l Abner) and George Herriman (Krazy Kat)
challenged readers with topical satire or appealed to niche audiences =
with
quirky humor and aesthetics; but even the most innovative work in the =
medium
relied on a sort of call and response between core readers, syndicates,
editors, and artists=97a back and forth that insured that the =
cartoonist's
work resonated with, or spoke for, its fans.
1

However, the idea of comic strips as an accurate reflector of a
cultural era's values is complicated by the fact that the Zeitgeist of =
each
historical era has been artificially simplified by later generations. In
reality, these eras bled into each other with a chaotic messiness and =
played
host to many competing impulses, values, and ideologies. The multiethnic
composition of the United States further complicates any effort to =
locate a
generation's normative values or ideals. How could a mass medium =
reflect,
for example, the polyglot richness of American culture in urban centers =
at
the turn of the century=97a time when diverse ethnic groups mingled and
second- and third-generation immigrants were assimilating to varying =
degrees
into mainstream culture?
2
While it may seem that the comics page as it stands today=97with =
the
miniscule size of the strips, the predominance of simplistic gags, and =
the
watered down flavor of the comedy=97can do little more than reflect a
generalized national Zeitgeist, the medium in its earliest years did =
reflect
urban America's complexity. The comics in the medium's early years were
often carnivalesque: multi-voiced, irreverent, given to inverting the =
social
order, and ideologically complex or ambivalent.3 As a result of this
carnivalesque tone=97an outgrowth of factors related to how the strips =
were
produced, distributed, and received in these early years=97the medium =
gave
voice to a host of dynamic, competing values and ideologies. Moreover, =
this
complexity was not only articulated through the comics page as a whole, =
but
also in many individual strips.

Informers and the Battle Against Republican Terrorism: A Review of 30 Years
of Conflict

Author: Sarma, Kiran

Source: Police Practice and Research, May 2005, vol. 6, no. 2, pp.
165-180(16)

Publisher: Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis Group

Abstract:
The efficacy of using informers in the battle against terrorism is evident
from their use against successive Irish republican organisations over the
past 300 years. This paper is primarily concerned with the role of informers
in combating the Irish Republican Army (IRA) over the last three decades and
draws on material published by the republican movement, the security
services, former informers and intelligence operatives, and interviews with
actors from both sides of the conflict. Whilst the potential value of using
informers in the battle against terrorism is beyond question, a review of
the Northern Irish experience does present an opportunity to examine some of
the key themes emerging in an area often ignored by those outside the
intelligence community.

The conference is aimed to look at undocumented and documented migration within

Europe. Particular reference is given to migration between eastern European and

western European countries and the occupation areas of reproductive work,

agricultural work and service sector.

We like to consider three perspectives and their interrelatedness:

The perspective on the micro level concerns the migrant's household unit, its

relevance in decision making processes, the changes it goes through
e.g. number of

household locations and people involved, changes in role performances,
duties and

status; economic and living conditions of the pluri-local household unit.

The perspective on the meso level concerns the migrant's
(transnational) network its

qualitative and functional aspects in different stages of migration,
e.g. spatial extend,

number and ethnical background of people involved, frequency and
quality of (exchange)

relations; tasks performed by network members; changing status positions

in the network. We also like to include here informal organisations,
which compensate

the lack of (personal) networks by offering jobs and housing in return
to payment

and therefore establish shadow-economy-structures.

The perspective on the macro level concerns structures of societies of countries

involved, how do they provoke and are effected by (documented and undocumented)

migration. This includes processes in regard to economy (e.g.
international division of

labour, globalisation, income differences), welfare systems, social mobility.

Finally we also invite papers dealing with particular methodological and

epistemological issues of migration studies e.g. multi sited research,
intercultural

research and research with people living partially clandestine lives.

Abstract submission: Electronic abstracts of between 400-500 words should be

submitted by the 1st of October 2005 to:

SMuenst[at]fb12.uni-dortmund.de Sigrid.Metz-Goeckel[at]uni-dortmund.de

doszka[at]argo.hist.uj.edu.pl

Abstract authors will be notified of paper acceptance by the 21st of
November 2005.

The conference is organised by a joint research project of the
University of Dortmund

and the Jagiellonian University Kraków (Dr. Dobrochna KaBwa) and part of the

Interdisciplinary Research Program at the University of Dortmund: Dynamics of

Gender Configuration.

Speakers will be offered free accommodation and travel expenses.

I hope someone on the list can be of help on a Famine question. Some
years ago I came across a quote purportedly from Trevelyan on the Famine
- "whether one million Irish dead will solve the economic problems of
the island" or words like that. I cannot now find this in his "The
Irish Crisis" . Can anyone verify this quote? Is it bogus?

Thanks,

This request for assistance has come our way.

I am from Brasil. I would appreciate if you could help me: I am looking
for contemporary Irish Indian writers. I did not find any other name
after I have found James Cousins. I worked with the Irish American
writer Colum McCann for my master dissertation (title: The Identity Song
in Songdogs, by Colum McCann) , now, I would like to continue my studies
working with an Irish Indian author, and so, going on with the theme on
diasporic voices outside Ireland. Any help will be of most importance to
me, thank you very much for your attention,
regards,

Atlantic networks, antagonisms and the formation of subaltern political
identities

David Featherstone
Department of Geography, Liverpool University, Roxby Building,

L69 7ZT, UK

Abstract:
This paper engages with historians Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker's
account of the connections and circulations which they argue constituted
a
multi-ethnic Atlantic working class in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries (Linebaugh and Rediker 1991, 2000). Their stories of the
mobile,
networked insurgencies that traversed the early modern Atlantic
challenge
accounts of the geographies of resistance and labour which treat
ethnicities as given and sealed, view subaltern movements as trapped in
place and privilege the boundaries between spatial scales. This paper
sketches some preliminary aspects of an agenda for thinking spatially
the
political identities constituted through Atlantic resistances. The paper
foregrounds the multiple antagonisms constituted through Atlantic
subaltern
resistances to explore three aspects of the formation of subaltern
political identities in the early-modern Atlantic. Firstly, how the
spatial
relations of Atlantic networks were brought into contestation through
subaltern struggles. Secondly, the plural and mobile character of
antagonisms between and within subaltern groups. Finally, the paper
explores how subaltern agency and identities were formed in relation to
the
materialities of Atlantic networks. These arguments are developed
through
discussion of subaltern resistances in and between Ireland,
Newfoundland,
the West Coast of Africa, the Virgin Isles and London in the eighteenth
century.


Absence makes the heart grow fonder: transatlantic Irish nationalism and
the 1867 Rising

Adrian N. Mulligan
Department of Geography, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA, 17837, USA

Abstract:
While nationalist temporal narratives continue to be demythologized,
relatively little comparative work has been done to demythologize
nationalist spatial narratives. Consequently, the theorizing of
nationalism
often remains safely corralled within the territorial boundaries of a
respective nation-state. In order to advance theoretical understandings
of
nationalism, it is imperative that geographers break this sedentary
spell.
This paper seeks to do just that, through analysis of a particularly
vehement brand of nineteenth-century Irish nationalism known as
Fenianism,
and by revealing the crucial role that the Irish diaspora played in the
transatlantic development of Irish nationalism.
