into such English words and phrases as John Doe, malarkey, queer, sail,

English vocabulary were well recognized by the first editors of the
dictionary, Germanic was often adduced, with no attempt at explanation of
the dynamics of lexical transfer, in cases where a better knowledge of the
Celtic languages of Great Britain - seeing Celtic not as substratum but
adstratum - would have yielded a more plausible and convincing etymological
comment on the words in question...'

Dear Paddy,

If it does not seem banal, could you post the following question? I have
long wondered why Arthur Griffith's journal was called United Irishman
rather than United Irishmen. It seems a logical contradiction to speak of
an individual as united, and I wonder if someone could explain the choice of
the journal's title.

Thanks very much.

3 articles have turned up from the journal...
Psychotherapy and Politics International

I have listed them below. The first adds something to the 'whiteness'
discussion in the USA, in which the Irish typically figure. The other 2
emanate from the Irish Institute for Psycho-Social Studies, Dublin, Republic
of Ireland, and seem to offer a sort of intense Freud/Jung meditation on
events in Northern Ireland.

Abstract
One major but subtle manifestation of white racism is the failure to
recognize whiteness as a cultural and racial category. Rather, whiteness
silently functions as the standard from which other racial and cultural
groups deviate. In this way, non-white groups and people become deviant in
the very act of defining them. Recognizing whiteness as a category in every
way correspondent to blackness opens the door to thinking about the
particularity of the state of whiteness, and the ways in which people
defined as white may benefit from the privileges, and suffer from the
burdens, of whiteness. The disavowal of qualities defined as black or
coloured or non-white is shown to have a special distorting and limiting
effect on people defined as white. Copyright C 2003 Whurr Publishers Ltd

How the Irish Became Protestant in America

Michael P. Carroll, =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8C

Michael P. Carroll is Professor of Sociology at Western Ontario =
University, London, Ontario, Canada.

It often comes as a surprise to learn that most contemporary Americans =
who think of themselves as "Irish" are, in fact, Protestant, not =
Catholic. While commentators generally agree that these Protestant =
Irish-Americans are descended mainly from the Irish who settled in the =
United States prior to the Famine, the story of how they became the =
Protestants they are is=E2=80=94this article argues=E2=80=94more =
complicated than first appears. To understand that story, however, one =
must correct for two historiographical biases. The first has to do with =
the presumed religiosity of the so-called "Scotch-Irish" in the =
pre-Famine period; the second involves taking "being Irish" into account =
in the post-Famine period only with dealing with Catholics, not =
Protestants. Once these biases are corrected, however, it becomes =
possible to develop an argument that simultaneously does two things: it =
provides a new perspective on the contribution made by the Irish =
(generally) to the rise of the Methodists and Baptists in the early =
nineteenth century, and it helps us to understand why so many American =
Protestants continue to retain an Irish identity despite the fact that =
their link to Ireland is now almost two centuries in the past.

Subject: Re: [IR-D] Arthur Griffith's journal

From: Patrick Maume
Dear Paddy,
Griffith borrowed the title UNITED IRISHMAN from John Mitchel's
short-lived 1848 journal of the same title. I presume Mitchel used the
singular rather than plural form to assert that he personally was an United
Irishman - both declaring that the species had not become extinct with the
1798 generation and making that note of personal witness which is central to

Mitchel's journalistic/political persona.

Best wishes,
Patrick

On reflection... I am not sure that I see that there is actually a problem,
as Michael poses the question...

The reference is to the United Irishmen organisation of 1791. One member of
the United Irishmen would be an United Irishman. I don't see what else he
could be. In Ireland he might refer to himself as an 'United man' - but
outside Ireland the word Irish had to be included. John Binns, in 1807,
described himself as 'an United Irishman from principle' - quoted in Wilson,
p. 11, and United Irishman is the form Wilson uses throughout his book.

There is a long tradition of naming newspapers and journals as if they were
personages or entities. The Observer. The Guardian. The United Irishman.

I had very interesting conversations when I was in the USA last year with a
discreet researcher who is in contact with the US Irish Traveller/Traveler
communities.

At about the same time this article - below - turned up in the databases.
It has taken a little while to track it down - but the article turns out to
be freely available on the web. I include it here, Abstract plus link, in
an attempt to be useful, for completeness' sake - since the material on the
Irish Travellers in the USA is not great. The writer has done a good job of
summarising material for teaching purposes - but some of the detail might be
questioned. The incident mentioned at the end of her Abstract, below, was
one of the things brought to my attention in the USA.

Nursing and the Irish Traveller: Toward a Philosophy of Cultural Care

By Margaret Beaumont, MSN, RN

Abstract

Nursing care that addresses the cultural needs of diverse populations stands
at the forefront of many conversations in the health care arena the care of
a client with significant cultural beliefs poses a challenge to the nurse
who cares for that person. In the instance of the Irish Traveller the nurse
must hone her skills as to the group's very being, their needs and wants,
and base her care according to these findings.

Former ANA President Beverly Malone (1998) succinctly stated, "Nurses who
are prepared to deal with differences are prepared to deal with diversity.
The more sensitive we are to cultural differences in our patients, the more
sensitive we are to all differences in our patients, making us better at
providing the unique are each of them deserves."

Utilizing a combination of nursing theorist (Leininger, 1998; Roer's 2002;
and Orem's 2002) theories as a framework for discussion, the authors will
define this sub-group, identify their specific needs, and strive to make
recommendations for culturally appropriate nursing care and education.

The term Irish Traveller (IT) is frequently misspelled in the United States;
in this paper as a form of respect and indication of knowledge, it will be
recorded in the traditional spelling of the group - "Irish Traveller."

Most Americans knew little if nothing of the group known as the Irish
Travellers until information was splashed across the news when a mother was
videotaped beating her child in a parking lot. From the instant the news
coverage began the cultural beliefs and practices of this mother were in
question. Repeatedly the news coverage focused on the nomadic lifestyle of
the Irish Travellers, their contacts with law enforcement and their apparent
poor parenting skills; the latter being very unusual for this tight-knit
group who are widely known to value their children and family life. Irish
Travellers are the descendants of a nomadic Irish community who have many
challenges to overcome if they are to survive as a culture and gain
acceptance in the Irish and American cultures. Among the many challenges
facing this group are poverty and racism (Religion News Blog.).

William Carleton between Irish and English: using literary dialect to study
language contact and change
Kevin McCafferty

University of Bergen, Norway, kevin.mccafferty[at]eng.uib.no

This study examines two features of the Irish English literary dialect of
William Carleton, a bilingual writer of the period when Ireland shifted to
English. It addresses the issue of the validity of literary dialect via
empirical comparison of the use of plural verbal -s in Carleton and in
personal letters written by a close contemporary from a similar background.
The result suggests considerable accuracy in Carleton's dialect
representation: he uses plural verbal -snot only in agreement with the
complex constraints of the Northern Subject Rule but also in line with usage
in the letters. Then the study examines Carleton's use of the be after V-ing
construction, which is typically a perfect in present-day Irish English. The
future uses found in older texts are sometimes cited as examples of
inauthentic literary dialect. However, like others of his generation,
Carleton uses be after V-ingin both future and perfect senses. Given his
social and linguistic background, his place in relation to the language
shift, and the apparent accuracy with which he portrays dialect features,
Carleton provides crucial support for the view that future uses arose in a
language contact situation in which speakers of British English interpreted
be after V-ingas a future, while speakers of Irish acquiring English
intended it as a calque on an Irish perfect. As more Irish shifted to
English, perfect meanings came to dominate. Carleton and his contemporaries
bear witness to the middle phase of this process.

Memories in Motion: The Irish Dancing Body
Helena Wulff

Stockholm University, UK

The aim of this article is to explore the Irish dancing body by combining
the growing social science interest in mobility with the established area of
the body as a site of culture. On the basis of ethnographic observations and
interviews about dance and culture in Ireland, I will discuss the Irish
dancing body in relation to the construction of social memory, the
embodiment of values linked to Irish national identity, mobility, dance
competitions and global touring. First, I will detail three distinct
movement sequences from different dance forms in Ireland: competitive Irish
dancing, dance theatre and Riverdance(the commercial Irish dance show).
Second, I will look at how dance can be said to travel around Ireland, north
and south, as well as back and forth to Ireland. The idea of the Irish
dancing body offers an example of the unity of body and mind in dance,
revealing also that abstract dance and movement communicate stories about
their societies. In Irish dance, these stories feature displacement, longing
and resistance, often steeped in the history. I conclude that this social
memory connects a distinct Irish tradition with European modernity.

Choosing to Go It Alone: Irish Neutrality in Theoretical and Comparative
Perspective
Neal G. Jesse

International Studies Program at Bowling Green State University,
njesse[at]bgnet.bgsu.edu

Realist and liberal paradigms of foreign policy analysis offer different
views of the important policy stance of neutrality. Realism explains a
neutral stance as the rational calculation of a small state's interests in
the state-centered, unfriendly, self-help environment. Liberalism argues
that international norms and internal dynamics lead nations to seek and
maintain neutrality. This article explores the neutral foreign policy stance
of the Republic of Ireland from 1938 to the present in comparison to
Austria, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Irish policy of neutrality
differs from the other European neutrals in two important ways: it is
unarmed neutrality and it is not impartial neutrality. I argue that domestic
actors, public opinion, and governmental decision-making institutions
provide an explanation for the continuing stance of neutrality. Thus,
liberalism provides a better explanation for Irish neutrality than realism.
The value of this study is that it illustrates in a comparative perspective
the varying sources of neutrality in Europe and points to the continued
usefulness of varied perspectives in understanding historical and
contemporary foreign policy.

Ireland's "Crack" Habit
Explaining the faux Irish pub revolution.
By Austin Kelley
Posted Thursday, March 16, 2006, at 5:44 AM ET


Ireland, as much of the world knows it, was invented in 1991. That year, =
the Irish Pub Company formed with a mission to populate the world with =
authentic Irish bars. Whether you are in Kazkhstan or the Canary =
Islands, you can now hear the lilt of an Irish brogue over the sound of =
the Pogues as you wait for your Guinness to settle. A Gaelic road sign =
may hang above the wooden bar and a fiddle may be lying in a corner. As =
you gaze around, you might think of the Irish=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9DO, =
that friendly, hard-drinking, sweater-wearing =
people!=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9Dand smile. Your smile has been carefully =
calculated.
In the last 15 years, Dublin-based IPCo and its competitors have =
fabricated and installed more than 1,800 watering holes in more than 50 =
countries. Guinness threw its weight (and that of its global parent =
Diageo) behind the movement, and an industry was built around the =
reproduction of "Irishness" on every =
continent=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9Dand even in Ireland itself. IPCo has =
built 40 ersatz pubs on the Emerald Isle, opening them beside the =
long-standing establishments on which they were based.=20
IPCo's designers claim to have "developed ways of re-creating Irish pubs =
which would be successful, culturally and commercially, anywhere in the =
world." To wit, they offer five basic styles: The "Country Cottage," =
with its timber beams and stone floors, is supposed to resemble a rural =
house that gradually became a commercial establishment. The "Gaelic" =
design features rough-hewn doors and murals based on Irish folklore. You =
might, instead, choose the "Traditional Pub Shop," which includes a fake =
store (like an apothecary), or the "Brewery" style, which includes empty =
casks and other brewery detritus, or "Victorian Dublin," an upscale =
stained-glass joint. IPCo will assemble your chosen pub in Ireland. Then =
they'll bring the whole thing to your space and set it up. All you have =
to do is some basic prep, and voil=C3=83 ! Ireland arrives in Dubai. =
(IPCo has built several pubs and a mock village there.)
But it's not so simple. Architecture is only one element of what =
Guinness has branded the "Irish Pub Concept." The concept outlines some =
simple steps to achieve "Irishness": You'll want to add Irish music, =
traditional grub, and "bric-a-brac" such as reproductions of antique =
spinning wheels, cast irons, and flagons. Authentic employees are also a =
must. "Although it is possible to recreate the feel of a true Irish pub =
without Irish staff=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9Dwe don't recommend it. No =
Irish pub is complete without the friendly warmth, humor and advice of a =
true Irish bartender." If there aren't any affable Irish in your town, =
rest assured, Guinness will put you in touch with employment agencies.
When you're ready to open, your pub will need a name. The concept is not =
properly served by joke names like McSwiggins or Filthy McNasty's, but =
it will thrive with a Gaelic phrase (D=C3=83=C2=BAn na n=C3=83=C2=B3r or =
An Cruisc=C3=83n L=C3=83=C2=A1n) or one of the hundreds of standard =
family names provided on the concept site. (A helpful hint: "To create =
the illusion of history, '& Sons' can be added to the name.") =
Authenticity, apparently, is key. In answer to the question, "Why is =
authenticity important?" the concept states that "Sales per square foot =
in current authentic pubs are exceeding the U.S. average by a factor of =
two." The Irish Pub Company's stance on this issue is even more =
enigmatic: "The authenticity of the Irish pub concept stands up to =
scrutiny=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9Dthe deeper you dig, the more interesting =
and attractive it becomes."=20
Too true. The branding of Irish bars owes more to cultural stereotypes =
and modern global economics than to Celtic tradition. The rapid =
expansion of these faux pubs was partly the result of big companies =
creating demand in emerging markets, but they are also an outgrowth of =
the end of the "troubles" and of the Irish economic boom. Suddenly, =
Ireland was teeming with immigrants, retail chains, and money. Insofar =
as Irish pub culture was ever the authentic heart of an organic =
community, its tradition was lost to the dustbin of history just in time =
to be invoked, exported, and imported again.
The concept is but one of the ways in which Ireland has been re-imagined =
for the consumer. A few decades back, St. Patrick's Day was a relatively =
quiet day in Ireland. It was a religious holiday; pubs were closed, and =
no one dyed anything green. A typical Dubliner might attend Mass, eat a =
big meal with the family, and nod off early. In the '90s, my friends who =
grew up in Dublin used to go to a hotel on St. Paddy's Day to watch the =
American tourists sing Irish drinking songs and celebrate excess.=20
Where there is celebrated excess, there is a market to exploit. In 1995, =
the Irish government saw potential in international "Irish" revelry. =
They reinvented the holiday at home to kick-start the tourist season. =
Now thousands of partiers head to Ireland for the "St. Patrick's Day =
Season" as Guinness has called this time of year. (It used to be called =
"March" or, for Irish Catholics, "Lent.") In Dublin, the festival lasts =
for five days and adds about =C3=82=C2=A360 million to the economy.=20
Guinness describes the irrepressible spirit of Irishness with the Gaelic =
word for communal fun, "Craic" (pronounced crack), and recommends =
"importing Craic from Ireland." It seems that the Irish had exported =
Craic, only to get it back again. The Irish are reveling in the =
Irishness business. After all, as IPCo puts it, "Ireland and things =
Irish are very attractive to consumers." Ireland now has a lot of native =
consumers. After the parade, they can stop by an authentic pub for a =
Guinness. It'll be just like Dubai.
