Subject: RE: [IR-D] The Ghost in Your Genes 2

I too find these gene studies interesting, and I am not ready to dismiss
them. Wariness, however, is wise. If the studies prove true, then the
standard scholarship -- that the eugenicists, popularizers, and others who
spoke of the natural, generational transmission of social characteristics
(minimizing the impact of nurture) were merely pseudo-scientific racists
with no lasting credibility -- takes a body blow. The nature-nurture debate
will become more intense, with over-simplifiers on both sides creating
political and intellectual cacophony.

Scholars need carefully to be cautious. That is especially true for those
of us who are not in the "hard sciences." Although we are undoubtedly
capable of critically reading findings and catching holes in arguments, most
probably know very little about the nitty-gritty involved in these analyses.
Letting the geneticists fight this out for a while is probably smarter than
immediately jumping on one or the other bandwagon.

New From The Liffey Press...
Ireland:
Space, Text, Time
Edited by Liam Harte, Yvonne Whelan, Patrick Crotty


Ireland: Space, Text, Time explores the diverse ways in which discourses of
time, space and textuality have shaped historical and contemporary
understandings of the relationship between place and identity in Irish
culture, both at home and abroad. Taking its cue from the prevalence of
metaphors of space and time in literary, academic and popular discourses of
identity, the book investigates the material embodiments of these constructs
in a range of cultural practices and phenomena, from novels and films to
buildings and monuments. The shaping influence of certain key historical
figures is also considered, and due emphasis is given to the dialogical
relationship between cultural developments in Ireland and those in the wider
Irish diaspora.

As the debate about the benefits of interdisciplinarity within the plural
field of Irish Studies continues to simmer, Ireland: Space, Text, Time aims
to demonstrate the practical ways in which scholars from different
disciplines can fruitfully contribute to a multivalent discussion of the
significance of particular forces and themes in Irish culture.

Ireland: Space, Text, Time is published in early December.

Irish dirty dancing
Traditional moves prove too sexy for US judge

By Sean O'Driscoll in New York
24 November 2005

State officials in North Carolina are to appeal a federal judge's ruling
that a form of Irish dancing is erotic and that strip clubs should not face
discrimination.

Judge N Carlton Tilley accepted "convincing" evidence by a dance expert that
the rhythm of Irish set dancing - which involves a group of people dancing
together with rigid upper bodies and pounding legs - replicated the rhythm
of sex, even though it is considered a sexless form of dance.

In ruling in favour of two erotic dance clubs, Judge Tilley quoted the
evidence of University of Maryland anthropologist and dance expert Dr Judith
Hanna, who has studied the sexual meaning of Irish set dancing and other
dance types.

He said set dancing could be associated with the act of sex and described Dr
Hanna's testimony as "credible and uncontradicted".

In a landmark ruling on the US constitution's freedom of expression
provisions, Judge Tilley struck down some provisions of a state law banning
erotic dancing and said that it was so broad that the sexually- charged
performances of Madonna or Brittany Spears could be prosecuted under the
law.

However, the chief counsel of North Carolina's Alcohol Beverage Control
Commission, Fred Gregory, said that the ruling was flawed and that the North
Carolina Attorney General's Office would appeal.

A spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office, Noelle Tulley, told the
Belfast Telegraph that appeal papers had been lodged and they are awaiting
an appeal date.

The strip clubs had hoped the ruling would end a five-year battle by erotic
dancing clubs against a state law that forbids professional dancers from
touching their bodies erotically.

State inspectors had prosecuted a strip club in North Carolina after
inspectors saw some of the dancers move suggestively on stage.

The club faced a 30-day suspension of its permit before it decided to fight
the case.

After it won the first round before Judge Tilley in 2002, the state assembly
rushed through an updated law that banned erotic dancers from dancing in a
manner that mimicked sex or that included suggestive fondling of body parts.

However, Judge Tilley said that even a fully clothed person could be
prosecuted if their dance routine appeared to mimic sexual acts.

"The prohibitions would likewise apply to fully clothed customers wishing to
do the shag or other popular dances such as those seen on the TV show Soul
Train or the movies Dirty Dancing or Saturday Night Fever," Judge Tilley
ruled.

Hip-hop dancers could also be prosecuted.

Announcement:

Irish English Resource Centre

A new website has been installed at Essen University in Germany which is
dedicated to Irish English. The site is arranged as a tree with branches
which correspond to various aspects of the English language in Ireland.
There are comprehensive sections on the history of Irish English, its
features on various linguistic levels (including misconceptions about Irish
English), English in Ulster, the sociolinguistics of present-day varieties
(Belfast, Dublin, etc.), the transportation of Irish English abroad during
the colonial period, early contact between English and Celtic, current
research trends in the field, to mention just the main issues dealt with on
the site. Sample sound files for both English in Ireland and Irish are also
available and can be listened to by clicking on the relevant links. In
addition, tables, graphs and many maps can be found on the site. A special
section on the history and present-day forms of the Irish language has been
included. Detailed bibliographical references are to be found in all
sections so that interested scholars and students can pursue matters further
with ease. Glossaries, overviews of external history and biographical notes
are also included, providing easy orientation for those who have not
previously concerned themselves with Irish English.

The resource centre can be accessed at the following address:

This website has been designed and is maintained by Raymond Hickey. All the
texts, graphs, tables, sound files, etc. are his own and are put in the
public domain under the assumption that if they are used by scholars and
students, then appropriate acknowledgement will be made.

Housing and Accommodation of Irish Travellers: From Assimilationism to
Multiculturalism and Back Again

Norris, Michelle - Winston, Nessa

abstract

This article charts the changing conceptualization of Travellers in relevant
Irish central government policy statements since the 1960s, together with
the accommodation policy initiatives devised on this basis. It interprets
developments in this regard as a movement from assimilationism to
integrationism to (weak) multiculturalism. The article also reveals a
significant "policy implementation deficit", which is manifested in two
ways. Firstly, accommodation output has generally failed to meet central
government targets and has consistently failed to reduce the numbers of
Travellers living in unofficial encampments. Secondly, the type of
accommodation provided has often been at variance with central government
recommendations. Thus, an assimilationist policy statement has effected
multicultural policy outcomes, while a multiculturalist policy statement has
effected assimilationist policy outcomes. These patterns of accommodation
output are related to various implementation variables-some long-standing,
others new-which have impeded the implementation of national policy by
actors on the ground.

The mising - or un-noticed - dimension in this article is the Irish
dimension...

There is a chapter on
'The Irish dimension of an Australian Religious Sisterhood: the Sisters of
Saint Joseph'
Janice Tranter

which I published in Patrick O'Sullivan, ed., Religion and Identity, Volume
5 of The Irish World Wide.

And I think we know that the Irish Diaspora knows how to lobby...

On the other hand there are Irish connections to Suzanne Aubert's order, The
Sisters of Compassion. Sister Mary Gertrude, anyone?

Colonial Sainthood in Australasia

Katie Pickles

Abstract:

Concerned with the formation of national identities in postcolonial
Australasia, this article compares and contrasts representations of
religious women Mary MacKillop (1842-1909) and Suzanne Aubert (1835-1926).
MacKillop, constructed as a contemporary popular 'Australian legend' is set
to become Australasia's first saint, while in April 2004 investigation began
into the beatification of New Zealand nun Aubert. Combining religious and
secular explanations, despite the two women's lives and work displaying many
similar characteristics, the article offers an explanation as to why it is
that MacKillop, and not Aubert, will be Australasia's first saint. The
article argues that representations of the two women are embedded in the
construction of national identities in Australia and New Zealand that draw
upon gendered 'white settler society' mythologies.

Subject: Irish Ferries Dispute
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I was interested to read on the BBC about the way that Irish Ferries
have handled the current dispute which has arisen because of the desire
to cut costs by using foreign crews and, I believe, sailing under a
'flag of convenience'. Whilst I appreciate that Irish Ferries will claim
that they are merely responding to the prevailing economic climate and
that they face continuing threat from cut-price airlines, most notably
Ryanair (whose chief executive's reputation needs no elaboration), the
use of underhand tactics provides an impression that contemporary Irish
business knows no bounds as far as disregard for workers is concerned.
The question I would ask, however, is this attitude exceptional in
Ireland today? I know that many English people still believe that what
they want from Ireland is their belief that it is laidback and relaxed.
It would appear that footballer Roy Keane's 'win at all costs' is more
symbolic than the stereotypical view that many possess about Ireland.=20

There have been several messages like this of late:

My wife and I (One from Dundalk the other from Raheenagh, Co.
Limerick)recently spent time in Ireland driving around and came away with
lots that felt good but with a distinct air of having been to a place that
is keenly interested in money and profits: it was - its true - largely a
feeling, an ambiance of greed and 'rip off' probably not helped by the then
ongoing TV Series 'Rip Off Republic'.

One (amongst several) 'events': John McGahren's Memoirs had just been
published - a favourite of my wife - and we were keen to get it. Walking
into a book store there was a sign advertising it at a 'special price'. Now
I have never, in England, seen a book advertised such where it did not mean
a reduction: also, I have never seen a British bookshop charge extra for
signed copies. But that's what this was. They had obtained some signed
copies by the author and the 'special price' was MORE not less than the full
published proce.

Please - somebody - tell me I've got the wrong impression

Thanks to Steven McCabe for his interesting posting.

First of all, the maritime context is more or less unique. Re-flagging
allows vessels which sail between EU ports to escape more or less =
entirely
from the application of EU laws and to ignore the rights and =
entitlements of
workers, as guaranteed by either of the two states between which the =
ship
sails. It would appear that shipping companies are entitled to do this, =
more
or less legally. I say more or less, because there are questions over =
the
extent to which employment rights of existing workers may be =
extinguished,
health and safety issues, etc. This seems to me to be a serious lacuna =
in EU
law.

In the specific case of Irish Ferries, one should add that they gave =
formal
undertakings, when the France-Ireland service was re-flagged less than =
two
years ago, that this would not happen on the Ireland-UK routes. Just =
over a
year into a three-year undertaking, the company has simply set aside =
this
undertaking. It has done so by using the most flagrantly provocative =
tactics
imaginable - sending in gangs of paid security 'heavies', without =
warning,
onto its ships, bussing in Latvian workers with no forewarning of why =
they
were being used, and sailing from France to Ireland this weekend, =
despite a
clear warning that the ship would not be allowed to dock in Rosslare. =
It was
only because the union side decided that passengers could not be used =
as
pawns that the ship was allowed to dock last night in Dublin. We now =
also
know that the company had considered the use of tear-gas to subdue its
unruly subjects - something which Culture Minister John O'Donoghue said =
on
radio this weekend would warrant possible criminal charges. This is no
ordinary company and it is being suggested in Ireland that their =
tactics
have put industrial relations back by the best part of a century.

As regards the bigger picture, I am hugely disturbed at the anecdotal
picture of systematic exploitation emerging around the country, but =
although
I work in this field, I don't have enough hard evidence. That said, the
numbers alone tell a bizarre tale. In the period from May 2004 to the
present Ireland received about 130,000 workers from new EU Member =
States;
the equivalent for the UK, in the same period, was apparently about =
290,000.
Given that the population of the UK is about 15 times that of Ireland, =
there
is something very odd indeed happening here. There may be some =
additional
explanatory factors - e.g. the (very large) size of the UK undocumented
labour market compared to Ireland's, which may explain why demand has =
been
so much stronger here. But there is also strong, and to my mind =
convincing,
evidence of widespread exploitation. This very morning, RT=C3=89 has a =
report on
construction workers, at http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/2094529.smil. These
workers were being paid =E2=82=AC6.50 per hour instead of the agreed =
rate of about
=E2=82=AC14 for the job.

There is undoubtedly a real problem in Ireland today. First of all, by =
an
act of cynical collective amnesia, we seem to have conveniently =
forgotten an
entire history of navvies, tatie-hokers and servant girls, our history =
and
the history of people whose remittances enabled this miserable,
impoverished, inward-looking state to drag itself into the 20th =
century.
Secondly, we have not developed a core, rights-based set of =
entitlements
which apply to all, Irish or foreign, who work here. Thirdly, we still =
have
a narrow, intolerant, essentialist vision of 'who belongs'. Why else =
would
we accept the fascists in Irish Ferries, while denying Polish and =
Latvian
workers, and their families, their most basic rights?

Finally, there is an obvious problem with the industrial relations =
culture
of any postcolonial state. We are so fawningly grateful to receive the
largesse of the investor, that we think the only way to respond is by
stamping hard on any notion of workers' rights. Steven's mention of =
Michael
O'Leary is appropriate - he is the epitome of bullying capitalism, =
arrogant
and unable to listen (I say this as someone who accepts, reluctantly, =
the
benefits of responsible capitalism).=20

Irish capitalism is unfortunately still of the immature and violent =
variety.
I am constantly struck, as an activist who looks to Irish, EU, US, UK =
and
other models in seeking funding to remodel our society, by how American
capitalists, for all their faults, want to 'give something back'. I =
admire
them for this. Their Irish equivalents have no such feelings. They =
continue
to rip us off, pocket their premiums, frequently living off-shore, and =
the
devil take the hindmost.

followed
by the scrutiny of strategies of reference, predication, intertextuality =

perceptions
and discourses on ethnic alterity in Europe, as collective 'self' and

The work of the Huguenot Society sometimes parallels, sometimes complements,
developments in Irish Studies and Irish Diaspora Studies...

http://www.huguenotsociety.org.uk/

Note for example the way in which the Society has found ways to embrace the
study of family history...

The Proceedings of the Huguenot Society are making great leaps forward under
new editor Andrew Spicer, of Oxford Brookes U. Two TOCs pated in below...

As will be seen a number of items of Irish interest - and everyone is
interested in Motteux... And I am chasing up that item on The Responses to
Persecution of the Vaudois.

The response to the persecutions in the Vaud are a very significant moment
in English-Irish relations... One way of reading Milton's sonnet... On the
Late Massacre in Piedmont

'Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered Saints, whose bones
Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold...'

is to look at the Irish dimensions to the persecutions.

Standard history of Protestantism usually include some mention of Irish
involvement in the persecutions. In fact I see that some stalwart has
placed the works of J. A. Wylie on the web... Wylie mentions 'several
companies of Irish Romanists, who, banished by Cromwell, arrived in Piedmont
dripping from the massacre of their Protestant fellow-subjects in their
native land...'
