ROMANTIC IRELAND
- from TONE to GONNE
University of Glasgow
22-24 June 2007
Annual Conference of
The Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland


Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.
(Yeats, 'September 1913')


This conference aims to explore the material culture of Romantic Ireland in
all its manifestations - from Tone to Gonne, and from O'Leary to Theory .
Since the venue is Glasgow there will be some emphasis on Irish-Scottish
relations in the period, for as well as being the Second City of Empire
Glasgow was a major centre of Irish immigration in the nineteenth century.
The Bloomsday celebrations in Glasgow on 16th June 2007 will begin a week of
Irish cultural activities in the city, culminating in this major
international conference.
We are at the moment negotiating sponsorship so as to keep costs for
conference participants as low as possible. The conference is already
supported by the Irish Embassy, London, by the Consulate General of Ireland
to Scotland, and by the North-East Irish Cultural Network (NEICN) in Durham
and Sunderland. Further details regarding conference registration and
accommodation will be available on this website shortly.
The conference organizers are: Katie Gough, Paddy Lyons, and Willy Maley.
The conference email address is tonetogonne[at]arts.gla.ac.uk
The Society for the Study of Nineteenth Century Ireland began its annual
conferences in the early 1990s -- firstly in Ireland, and then rotating
between Ireland, Europe and America. From these conferences more than a
dozen volumes have already been published, helping to place this field at
the cutting edge of Irish studies. It is anticipated that a volume of papers
from the Glasgow conference will be published.

The British Association for Irish studies

New Irelands : Call for Conference Papers

BAIS Conference to be held at Liverpool in September 2007.

An interdisciplinary international conference 14-16 September 2007 under the
combined auspices of the British Association for Irish Studies, the
Institute of Irish Studies and the Department of Politics of the University
of Liverpool

The theme of the conference is the impact of both contemporary and historic
change on the island of Ireland.

Recent years have seen steadily accumulating socio-economic, political,
cultural and technological developments which have challenged institutions,
stereotypes and values in both parts of Ireland. But the island has also
experienced significant innovation in the past, and, as well as notable
disruptions, the Irish narrative is characterised by some intriguing
continuities.

The organisers would like to encourage contributions from the varied
disciplines contributing to Irish Studies, including Literature, Politics,
Geography, History, Archaeology, Sociology, Film & Media Studies and the
Visual Arts, and from people working in other fields of study who have an
Irish dimension in their work.

Papers are invited on the following themes:

. Language, Literature and Identities
. Construction & renewal of identities around gender, sexuality or
religion
. Commodifying Irish Pasts: Heritage, Landscape and Memory
. The Irish Language, retreats & revivals
. Transformation of the Irish Economies in the Nineteenth & Twentieth
Centuries
. Northern Ireland Society 'After the Troubles'
. Imaging Historic and Contemporary Ireland in Film, Music &
Performance
. Diasporic Versions of Identity

Each speaker will have 20 minutes for a presentation and will be expected to
take questions. Participants are encouraged to put together panel sessions
(three papers of 20 minutes each). Abstracts of not more than 300 words
should be sent as either hard copy or email attachment by 31 March 2007 to:

Mervyn Busteed, Geography Discipline, School of Environment & Development,
Mansfield Cooper Building, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL,

IR-D members who are also member of one of the H-Net lists will have already
seen this message from

Dr. Peter Knupfer
Executive Director
H-Net: Humanities & Social Sciences Online

I think it worth sharing with the IR-D list, and with others. Peter Knupfer
outlines the broad picture, then focuses on one email provider, AOL.

But Peter Knupfer does not seem to acknowledge that it does not need an
actual PERSON to trigger a complaint about an email address. There are
automatic spam traps in place. And, because spammers forge the email
address in their FROM lines, entirely innocent email addresses become
blacklisted as spammers. As we found last year, when all of Jiscmail, the
UK's academic Listserv, was put on to Spamcop's black list.

I do not want to go on about these problems, because they are of little
interest to most members of the IR-D list - and actually of little interest
to me. At the moment I am not sure what a solution would look like, and if
H-Net and Jiscmail can't find one...

Subject: FW: Subscriber Alert from H-Net

Dear H-Net subscribers:

A very serious situation has arisen in which many (perhaps thousands)
of our subscribers are being deleted from our lists due to filtering
technologies and policies being implemented by major Internet Service
Providers, as well as some universities. It will take a combined
effort by our subscribers and H-Net's management to resolve the
situation. Please read the following message and help us where you can:

Many of you know already that major internet service providers have
installed very strong antispam filters at their mail gateways and are
implementing stringent policies to block spam. In most cases, all it
takes is a small percentage of recipients to mark or complain about a
particular IP address of origin for the ISP to block the relay of
messages from the offending IP range.

This issue has affected H-Net, even though our subscribers by
definition voluntarily join our lists. AOL in particular (including
its subsidiary netscape.net and cs.com) has begun to block mail from
our node; we estimate that perhaps 6,000 of our subscribers have AOL
addresses. The bounces from undelivered mail eventually trigger
deletion from our subscription lists; hundreds of subscribers are being
dropped from our rolls everyday.

We have tried to work with AOL to have them recognize H-Net traffic as
legitimate but with no success so far; we will keep trying to do
so. But AOL's policies for regaining entry to its domain are
technically impossible for us to comply with and, in some cases, raise
serious issues concerning free speech.

There are several options you pursue to help assure the unfettered flow
of information from H-Net:

-- consider resubscribing to your lists from an email address and node
outside of AOL or of the ISP that may be blocking H-Net traffic.

-- if you normally do not save list postings, then consider setting
your H-Net list subscriptions to NOMAIL to suspend email postings to
you, then follow the list discussion via its web-based logs, and when
you wish to participate feel free to post -- the ISPs are only blocking
incoming, not outgoing mail to the list. All of our lists display
their logs on the web; just bookmark the list's home page and link to
the logs from there. You can also set up RSS news feeds from your
favorite lists and follow them in any RSS-compatible browser (Internet
Explorer 7 and Firefox do this). Visit
http://www.h-net.org/about/rss.php for information.

-- contact your service provider to protest the interference with your
mail and to demand that access be restored. Service providers do
listen to their customers.

-- please do not report mail from h-net.msu.edu as spam or junk
mail. Instead, contact our help desk at help[at]mail.h-net.msu.edu or use
our subscriber center to signoff lists you no longer wish to
receive. If you have technical difficulties, we'll be glad to help
you. Feel free to write me directly if these methods are for some
reason not effective.

-- Please circulate this message to colleagues who may already have
been affected by ISP spam blocking and would otherwise not receive it.

If you are successful in getting your ISP to relent, please write
directly to me at the address below; such intelligence would be useful
in our ongoing campaign to bring down these barriers.

We regret that the rage for security has gotten to the point where
teachers, students, scholars, and professionals must face such hurdles
to effective and free communications.

Thank you for your continued support of H-Net.

Sincerely,

Peter

Desert Island Discs is one of the oddities of English radio, which I won't
bother to explain... The latest presenter, Kirsty Young, has a lovely voice
- but is not a great interviewer...

Not that that matters, for Edna O'Brien aficionados...

Edna O'Brien was very... magisterial, on the button, honest... A number of
times she said, and I've never said this before. So, maybe, a footnote or
two for someone...

Folk Hibernia
90-minute film on the Irish Folk revival for BBC4

its
use of archive material. We have the recording of de Valera's 'Comely
Maidens' speech, but in the recording - as has been noted before on the =
IR-D
list - he actually says 'happy maidens'. We have Se=E1n Lemass dealing
courteously with a frankly insulting question from a young Dimbleby.

But, as ever, the flaws of this kind of documentary grated. Unscripted
interviews presented unsourced material as fact. The posed pint of =

in the new interviews echoing the posed pint of Guinness in the archive
material. At times a lack of narrative clarity. One sound bite from =
Reg
Hall - I have not seen him for years. Looking well. There are no =
cutting
room floors nowadays - I hope the rest of the interview was preserved,

But certainly worth watching. And presenting, underneath the occasional
confusion, a coherent line about the inter-penetration of music, lyrics,
politics and economics...

Norton Critical Edition of Modern Irish Drama

The Norton Critical Edition volume Modern Irish Drama was published in 1991
and has been widely used since as a resource in the teaching and study of
contemporary Irish theater. In 15 years, the literature of theater in
Ireland, the practice of Irish theater, and its cultural context have all
changed significantly. In order to maintain a volume best suited for the
purposes of readers and teachers, W. W. Norton is planning a new and updated
edition of Modern Irish Drama. As before, its contents will be designed to
represent the literature of Irish Theater of the 20th century with a
combination of primary texts, secondary resources, and critical resources.
To help design the volume that will be best suited to your needs, please

Of special interest, of course, are the MacPherson and MacRaild. A
contribution to the new Orange diaspora historiography.

And Aoife Bhreatnach on Travellers - yes, governments hate nomads...

Note too Virginia Crossman's review of Ciara Breathnach, The Congested

There seems to be something of a revival of the revisionist/anti-revisionist

David,

I had a similar problem with the university of a Very Eminent Diaspora
Scholar - which university banned all emails emanating from my ISP,
Telewest. So that it looked as if I was discourteously ignoring the VEDS'
emails...

The problem is that each one of these debacles has to be negotiated
individually. Time-consuming, and frustrating - when they won't even accept
your direct emails.

And of course each debacle means that we loose members. Here I am, ejecting
our remaining Yahoo.com members. It was sort of reassuring to learn of
H-Net's problems - we are not alone. But I thought the H-Net message was
quite despairing, really...

Members who have university or company addresses might check with their
postmasters. I had problems with the University of North Carolina-Chapel
Hill, which automatically blocked all e-mails from tiscali. It took ages to
sort out, largely because my attempt to contact them about the problem was
blocked...

There is also a Spamcop type programme called SORBS that seems to block
e-mails at random.

I fear the anti-spam controls will end up as a worse menace than spam, which
after all does not take all that long to identify and delete.

Dear Colleagues,

I report the following from H-net and elsewhere, covering topics which are
discussed within the IR-D group from time to time. I look for information
on migrant and dispersed communities, the Irish in the world at large,
decolonisation and postcolonial societies, varieties of English, or national
and supranational memory and identity. Sometimes the Irish connection is by
way of comparison. Entries may be abbreviated from the original.
Apologies, of course, for duplication; and for any I have missed.

Call for Papers

Celebrating Memories & Visual Cultures, ZIFF Conference, Zanzibar, Tanzania,
July 2-4, 2007

As in previous conferences, we are looking for short thought papers that
will excite debates and cross-fertilisation of ideas between scholars and
artists, story-tellers, documentary and film makers, rather than highly
scholastic or technical papers.

The theme has been elaborated under the following sub-themes and topics:

1. Histories & Memories:
- Histories Past: heritage & narrative, identity & self-awareness, and home
& away;
- Family narratives, oral history, construction of the past, local,
regional & global histories;
- Remembrance: subjectivity, philosophy of mind, travel & tourism;
- Absence & memory: honoured places & events, place & space, emotive
locations, loss & trauma.
- Film and/against other historical texts, cinema as medium of nostalgia;
- Found film: lost memories, forgotten places & people.


Those interested in participating in the conference should send abstract of
their paper by 1st April, and final paper by 15th June, 2007 at the latest.

A number of Ir-D members have called to our attention the report by Northern
Ireland Police Ombudsman, Nuala O'Loan, on security force collusion...

The IR-D list does not track closely events in Northern Ireland - there are
other forums for that. But we should be aware that this report has, by now,
received world-wide coverage... Some items pasted in below... A web search
will turn up many more. And it all certainly makes horrifying reading...

I was struck by Beatrix Campbell in The Guardian: 'But that epochal
admission risks being swamped by an old paradigm: tribal paddies dragging
the reluctant Brits into their dirty war... We now know that British
security services had penetrated all the paramilitary organisations...'

P.O'S.

O'Loan report deeply disturbing - Ahern

The Taoiseach today described the report from the North's Police Ombudsman,
Nuala O'Loan, on security force collusion as "deeply disturbing" and said
its findings "are of the utmost gravity".

"Over many years, successive Irish governments, and many others, raised
serious concerns about collusion in Northern Ireland. This report
demonstrates that these concerns were well-founded. It presents clear
evidence that the RUC colluded with loyalist murderers and failed in their
duty to prevent many horrific crimes," he said.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6289673.stm


What the papers say
Journalist Fionola Meredith takes a look at what is making the headlines in
Tuesday's morning papers.

"Shocking, disgraceful, disturbing" are the words appearing over and over
again in the papers' coverage of the Police Ombudsman's report.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1996483,00.html

This exposes Britain not as peacemaker, but perpetrator

Now it's official: the state sponsored death squads for years in Northern
Ireland and this collusion prolonged the war

Beatrix Campbell
Tuesday January 23, 2007
The Guardian

Nuala O'Loan is a heroine. None of us should under-estimate the moral
courage this fastidious lawyer has mobilised merely do her job as Northern
Ireland's police ombudsman: to tell the world that collusion describes the
relationship between the British state and loyalist gunslingers.

CONSECRATED WOMEN: TOWARDS A HISTORY OF WOMEN RELIGIOUS OF BRITAIN AND
IRELAND

Conference Date: 31 AUGUST - 1 SEPTEMBER 2007
Conference Venue: The Institute of Historical Research, Senate House, London

The Historians of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland (H-WRBI) invite
both individual and panel proposals on the history of women religious of
Britain and Ireland. Papers are invited for the conference themes:

o Creativity in the convent: creativity across all visual, musical, material
or literary forms; convent patronage.

o Religious sisters and the provision of healthcare: a broad definition of
healthcare will be applied - apothecaries, home visiting and care of the
elderly as well as hospitals or infirmaries - at home or in a missionary
context.

o Finance and business: what financial models and practices did women
religious apply? How was their work and property financed?

o Canonical issues, constitutions and the approval of congregations: the
impact of Canon Law; episcopal, curial and papal interventions.
Contributions might be at macro or micro level. Studies of the 20thC are
particularly welcomed.

o Exile and identity: the dynamics of migration and inter-cultural and
trans-cultural experiences in the lives and identities of women religious.

Abstracts of not more than 300 words: panellists should send separate
abstracts for each paper. Proposals from postgraduate students are
particularly welcomed. H-WRBI encourages papers on consecrated women from
all historical periods and from different religious traditions within the
history of Britain and Ireland.

Email Patrick O'Sullivan

We have already noted, a number of times, the resource that is Irish History
Online (IHO)
www.irishhistoryonline.ie

We have now heard some good news from
Jackie Hill [mailto:Jacqueline.Hill[at]nuim.ie]

The original IHO was set up in 2003 with funding from the Irish Research
Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, to create a fully-searchable
bibliographical database of publications on Irish history. To date, titles
of publications covering 1936-2001 (over 50,000 items) are available for
on-line searching, and IHO has become the 'Irish' component of the Royal
Historical Society's online 'Bibliography of British and Irish History'.

Jackie Hill is what is called the 'Principal Investigator', and the project
is based with her in NUI Maynooth (Co. Kildare), though the entries go
on to a single database held in the University of London.

A second three-year tranche of IRCHSS funding has now been awarded (to run
from 2006-9), with a special remit to enhance IHO's coverage of the Irish
abroad/Irish diaspora (as well as publications on mainstream Irish history
published outside Ireland and Britain).

A new editor, Dr Frank Cullen, has recently been appointed.
Frank.Cullen[at]nuim.ie

He is currently investigating publications concerning the Irish in the
Americas, and expects to spend some weeks in North America in the spring of
next year.

I have, of course, immediately emailed Jackie Hill and Frank Cullen,
offering all the help we can, and putting the contacts of the Irish Diaspora
list, and the resources of irishdiaspora.net, at their disposal...

Buried in Beckett
The last time Fiona Shaw performed his work, she caused quite a furore. So
how does it feel to be taking on Beckett's Happy Days?

Tuesday January 23, 2007
The Guardian

'...Sometimes, Happy Days didn't seem like a play at all, more an
installation that talked...'

'... Actors need to invent connections between seemingly foreign bodies, but
it is the distance between things, between people, that makes Beckett's
writing sing. He needs the cold as I need the heat....'

'... When stage directions are as plentiful as Beckett's, there is an
implication that they solve the play. They don't. There are 150 pauses in
Happy Days, and each has no meaning unless it is filled with imagination,
tension or thought. It's this that makes rehearsing hard. Being technically
meticulous is only half the battle.

But I had finally begun to hear it. One cannot know bits of Happy Days; it
only works as a whole. It is not linear, and yet there are beautifully
threaded modulations of feeling...'

'... Audiences always tell you what a play is. Where I had detected coldness
in the work weeks back, I now saw that the energy of the performance ran
right across the minimalism of the writing: the play is experienced as a
rush of heat and light - human, warm, weirdly celebratory. Afterwards, I got
a note from Deborah: "Well well. So that's the play?"

Tomorrow we shall fail again, and hopefully fail better...'

Bob Tennant of the University of Glasgow and I are in the early
stages of planning a digital archive of British sermons. We plan to
span the period from the Restoration to the reestablishment of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. Sermons from all traditions will be
included, and we may expand the archive to include religious lectures
and episcopal charges as well.

An overview of the project is on my website:
