CFP: Diaspora community festivals, cultural events and tourism | |

From: "William Mulligan Jr." Subject: CFP: Diaspora community festivals, cultural events and tourism MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Forwarded from H-Migration. This may be of interest to the list. Journeys of Expressions VI: Diaspora community festivals, cultural events and tourism 4-6 October 2007, York, United Kingdom Organised by: Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Leeds Metropolitan University Journeys of Expression VI will bring together researchers who share interests in diaspora community cultures as expressed, translated and consumed through festivals and cultural events. The conference encourages contributions from contrasting but related theoretical and conceptual approaches from Social Science and Humanities disciplinary perspectives. The conference will also attract researchers from the fields of tourism and festival studies. The enforced, encouraged or voluntary movement, migration and dispersion of people over centuries and in recent years is reflected in the family backgrounds, life histories and cultural practices of communities in many countries, regions and cities worldwide. Mobilities associated with the processes of globalisation are demonstrably, if unevenly contributing to an acceleration of migration for more or less permanent, official and legal settlement of people beyond their 'homelands'. In many cases, diaspora communities have been subject to hostility and discrimination in their adopted countries and some remain relatively impoverished, marginalised and excluded from 'mainstream' society. Others, in contrast have been more socially and economically successful and have either retained distinct diaspora community identities or have become more integrated with other communities over time. Tourism has also grown substantially and unevenly in recent years, with tourists increasingly encouraged to attend and participate in 'exotic' and 'characteristically authentic' displays of community life in destinations visited. Such tourism typically features the packaging, promotion and consumption of diaspora community neighbourhoods, food and shopping and importantly festivals and cultural events. The relationships between diaspora communities, festivity, cultural events and tourism are therefore of considerable interest to academic researchers, as well as for arts, social, cultural and tourism policy makers and practitioners in many countries. Theoretical issues and themes to be explored at this conference include: * Defining and conceptualising diasporas in connection with festivals and cultural events; * Histories of diaspora communities' mobilities and the transformation and adaptation of festivity and cultural events to new community circumstances and settings; * Relationships between diaspora communities and the 'homeland' and expressions of collective memory through festivals and cultural events; * The distribution and circulation of globalised diaspora festival forms - e.g. carnival, mela, Irish, Chinese, Jewish - religious and secular, established, emerging and contested; * The role of diaspora festivals and cultural events in policies and programmes to promote community cohesion, crime reduction and anti-racism; * Festivals, cultural events and the identities of diaspora community members - inter-generational issues; * Festivals, cultural events and the multi- (inter-) cultural city; * Settings and spaces for diaspora festivals and cultural events; * Issues surrounding new and recently introduced diaspora community festivals and cultural events; * Performing diaspora community arts through festivals; * Diaspora tourism markets. In the tradition of the Journeys of Expressions conference series, we wish to encourage an interdisciplinary debate on the suggested themes and welcome paper proposals from academics from various disciplinary backgrounds including: tourism studies, festival studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, cultural geography, politics, etc. If you wish to submit a paper proposal, please send a 300-word abstract with full address and institutional affiliation details as an electronic file to Dr. Philip Long (p.e.long[at]leedsmet.ac.uk). The deadline for the reception of abstracts is 16 April 2007.

Kevin Danaher's 'The Year in Ireland: Irish Calendar Customs' (1972, but my copy is Mercier Press/Irish Books and Media, new edition, 274pp, 2001) has an account of Christmas, pp. 233-64, with Christmas Eve receiving 3 pages or so. 'Christmas Eve was observed as a fast day. Many people took no food at all until the main meal, which consisted traditionally of stockfish, such as hake, cod or ling, with white sauce or potatoes.' (p.239) The next paragraph notes that the fast was shortlived and the Christmas meal - cake, tea, punch and other drinks, with sweets and apples for children - began well before midnight. Various Irish words are used in the overall account, but there is no mention of a name such as you would like to know, and there is no mention of sandwiches. Danaher notes that 'The Advent fast was abolished in 1917' (p.267). I hope that's helpful.

I will look out for that book when I am in Dublin. I know a lot more now about Christmas Eve in Ireland, but the mystery remains about oiche na ceapairi, the night of the sandwiches. However, I must not forget that the original reference was in a Christmas cracker. Perhaps whoever makes up the mottos was bored with the usual ones and simply made this up!

In these days, our minds go back to the baby born in Bethlehem. He = taught us that humankind would only flourish in love and he asked each of us to be bringers of love into the lives of those around us. Two thousand years = on and we have seen, many times over, the awful price we pay for giving in = to hatred or simply neglecting one another. Conflict, poverty and disease = are ravaging millions of lives this very day. The Irish play a noble role in = the international community's response to that suffering. Ireland has a good story to tell of its own successful efforts to end generations of poverty and of conflict. The patient work of so many peacemakers throughout Ireland is bearing fruit at last. I hope that we = will soon see the fresh start that the people of Northern Ireland have longed = for and earned so painfully. The two jurisdictions which share this island = have so much untapped potential just waiting to be revealed by peace and partnership. Let us hope that the waiting will soon be over. Among the gifts we can share with one another this Christmas is the gift = of care on our roads. Our care costs us nothing. Our carelessness costs = others everything, their lives, their health, their happiness. So I ask all of = us, young and old, to take seriously our personal responsibility for road safety. Keep the crying out of Christmas. And to those who are feeling sad this Christmas time whether through = loss, or illness, or absence, or worry, I pray you will find reason for joy = and hope in the consolation and support offered by friends, family or = community. To all the boys and girls who have worked hard at being good to impress Santa Claus I say well done and to all those who have worked hard to = make our country strong and welcoming, prosperous and caring I say a = heartfelt thank you. You keep the Christmas spirit going all year round and, in millions of acts of generosity, you let us see the power of love. Best wishes to one and all for a Happy Christmas, and a truly peaceful, fulfilling New Year.

As well as being the unhappy recipients and victims of spam we are the victims of various anti-spam devices. For example, I still do not know if IR-D messages were getting through to members with yahoo.com email addresses. I do know that I was glad, over the quiet holiday, to not receive any more yahoo.com error messages. Let us see if the start again. Anyone who wants an invitation to have a gmail web email address should contact me. Gmail works well and has excellent spam trapping systems. The archive of the IR-D list, which - of course - works through email, was - of course - affected by spam. We have cleaned out and put extra safeguards in place. I have also put extra hurdles in place at Jiscmail - these inconvenience only me. But should ensure that no nasties or naughties get through... Right... On with the song...

Contrary to the intercommunity ideals of the Good Friday Agreement, our results suggest that people continue to exist in a society where political power is based on the division of communities, where ordinary people are not motivated to contribute to politics and where everyday life is fundamentally affected by the agreements of strongly opposed politicians. Analysis of transcripts revealed that people lived in a climate that presented violence as inappropriate yet effective. To that end, members of the community were negotiating a period of social psychological conflict and were described as living in a situation of unease rather than peace. Participants warned that conditions appear to be creating tensions that could lead to future violence.

Abstract This essay will examine, through a Kentucky case study, the process = whereby states, county-level localities, and individuals undertook for = themselves the responsibility for internal improvements, especially the = construction of comprehensive road networks in the nineteenth century. Before the = Kentucky legislature authorized state-funded road construction in the twentieth century, the state's best roads were a few toll turnpikes. Following = other eastern states, Kentucky approved turnpike construction charters and subscribed to turnpike stock to underwrite construction. State statutes, based upon directives from trained engineers hired by the Board of = Internal Improvement, required that turnpike construction follow complex = procedures. A change in the state constitution in 1850 forced the state to withdraw = from turnpike road investment and road construction oversight and finance devolved to counties and private investors. Local county road networks = were largely the product of neighborhood turnpike companies chartered by the state. Primary documents record the local road-building process for a five-mile turnpike in a Bourbon County. With little direction or = assistance from state engineers, the neighborhood residents, led by farmer John W. Jones, surveyed a route, arranged for right-of-way access through = adjacent farms, hired Irish turnpike construction crews, built a tollhouse, and collected tolls. Formal state law and engineering directives became attenuated as amateur turnpike builders constructed a simplified version = of the state's ideal road.

Abstract The role of community agency in the rural community and economic = development processes needs to be better understood in America and other advanced, industrialized nations. Community agency is vital to protecting, = retaining, and maintaining rural communities. A comparative study was designed to explore the role of community agency in contributing to local well-being = in Ireland and America. This role was evaluated through the use of a = multiple method framework based on extensive key informant interviews, focus = groups, and analysis of household survey data. Overall, the findings indicate social interaction was the most important explanation of community agency, followed by community attachment, = social ties/networks, and sociodemographics. Important differences were noted between Irish and Pennsylvania respondents. In both nations, regression models indicated social interaction was the most important factor = associated with community agency. Applied policy implications of these findings are advanced.
