What=92s Wrong with the RIAM?
Richard Pine
If we cared as much about our musical life as we do about our national
theatre we would already have seen the Royal Irish Academy of Music
discussed in the same terms as the Abbey, argues former RIAM Governor
Richard Pine. But can a way forward now be found, one that involves the
creation of an Irish Academy for the Performing Arts?

Voices and Visions: Ireland Across Disciplines
Midwest ACIS Conference: 18-20 October 2007
University of Missouri-Kansas City

The American Conference for Irish Studies invites you to attend the
thirty-first annual Midwest ACIS meeting centered on the theme Voices and
Visions: Ireland Across Disciplines.

This conference hopes to cross disciplinary lines to explore interactions
among art, history, music, literature, cinema, and culture in Ireland from
earliest times to the present.

Plenary Speakers:

Sighle Bhreathnach-Lynch, Curator of Irish Art, National Gallery of Art and
author of Ireland's Art / Ireland's History: Representing Ireland
(1845-Present) (2007), and of numerous articles on art and its role in Irish
national identity.

Pat Collins, director of over thirteen documentaries including the award
winning John McGahern: A Private World (2005), Frank O'Connor: A Lonely
Voice (2004), Tory Island (2003), Talking to the Dead (2000), and most
recently a documentary on the Irish language poet Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill.

Harry White, Professor of Music at University College Dublin and author of
The Keeper's Recital (1998), The Progress of Music in Ireland (2005) and
Music and the Irish Literary Imagination (forthcoming).

The conference welcomes papers on any aspect of Irish studies from new or
present ACIS members. Please propose twenty-minute papers in 250-300 word
abstracts in .pdf or .doc format to Joan Dean, at deanj[at]umkc.edu by August
1, 2007. Include your name, institutional affiliation, and contact
information in that document, as well as in the body of your email. (To

The University of Missouri-Kansas City, host to this year's Midwest meeting,
is in the heart of Kansas City. The conference will begin with a plenary
lecture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum at 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 18 and
conclude on Saturday evening, October 20 with a performance by the Elders.

Subject: BAIS website

Some of you will have noticed that, since before Christmas, we have been
having major problems with our website. To cut a very
long story short, our domain name, which we have owned for many years, was
mistakenly sold by our hosting company, and despite
protracted negotiations, it has proved impossible to buy it back.

As a result, we are taking the opportunity to overhaul the BAIS website with
the aim of making it a genuine hub for Irish studies
in Britain. We have a new address, www.bais.ac.uk and have already posted a
redesigned, temporary site containing important
information about forthcoming events, deadlines and contact details. Over
the next few weeks and months, this existing site will
be thoroughly expanded to include a wide range of information, which we hope
will be of great interest and use to you.

In the meantime, please do visit www.bais.ac.uk - and update your bookmarks!

best wishes
Aidan.

Paddy, I don't know if the list would be interested in this or not, but I
thought the follow-up in the "Letters" column to the story in the NYT
concerning the genetic indistinguishability of the Irish and the British was
in itself notable. Two of my favorites:

"The Irish, Scots and Welsh are suspicious that the pronouncement from the
University of Oxford that they are genetically related to the English is a
thinly veiled attempt at social climbing by the English."
James Farrell,
Flemington, NJ


"I suspect that the Oxford University researcher has suddenly discovered
that we Irish (Celts) are held in high regard worldwide; that we are
economically successful; that we are a happy people; that we are kind and
welcoming to their rugby fans when they came to Croke Park, Dublin, even
while we walloped their 'unbeatable' team; that we are quite civilized
despite what their historians tell them, so they want to be a part of us.
Too late! Too much water under the bridge!"

Language Contraction, Revitalization, and Irish Women

Barbara LeMaster

California State University

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology
December 2006, Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 211-228
Posted online on December 1, 2006


Concepts: gendered, language, women, Language Contraction, revitalize,
signing, female, differences

In Dublin, Ireland, the gendering of Irish Sign Language (ISL) is extreme
among women born before 1931 and men born before 1946. These groups are
products of two gendersegregated residential schools for the deaf. The
language differences emerging from the schools were sufficiently divergent
to obscure communication by gender. Yet, as adults, rather than embrace
their gendered language differences, most women and men sought ways to
eradicate them. Essentially the eradication process nearly eliminated the
female form of signing in favor of the male form. Most people in this
gendered linguistic generation have followed this cultural convention, but
not everyone. This article considers individual and community language
practices that challenge, and in some cases subvert, existing cultural norms
of gendered linguistic behavior leading both to language contraction and to
more recent attempts to revitalize the female form of ISL.

The issue of using family names in Irish and in Diaspora research has arisen
a number of times in IR-D and other discussions.

This research team take the discussions forward.

The Quantitative Analysis of Family Names: Historic Migration and the
Present Day Neighborhood Structure of Middlesbrough, United Kingdom

Abstract:
This article describes the way in which a unique new quantitative data
resource and evidence base has been used to relate historic measures of U.K.
migration flows to the contemporary socioeconomic patterning of
neighborhoods. The resource enables generalized analysis of the regional
origins of British and Irish people from their family names, and makes it
possible to relate the current regional distribution of names in the United
States, Great Britain, and other English-speaking countries to equivalent
information from the Great Britain Census of 1881. Illustrative applications
may be viewed at http://www.spatial-literacy.org. In this article we develop
a number of indices of the historic origins of English and Irish family
names, as a prelude to detailed microscale analysis of late twentieth
century surname patterns. We illustrate the usefulness of these various
indices through case study analysis of Middlesbrough and East Cleveland, an
area of the United Kingdom that attracted large numbers of economic migrants
during its rapid nineteenth century industrialization. We use our
quantitative evidence of the historical distributions of different family
names in order to characterize the social mobility of descendants of
Scottish, Irish, and Cornish migrants, and to evaluate the practice of
ascribing family names to particular localities in historical GIS. The case
study thus illustrates the ways in which our data resource may be used to
substantiate existing thinking about historic migration and residential
structure, as well as to generate and investigate new hypotheses that might
guide future work.

MANAGING EUROPE FROM AN IRISH PERSPECTIVE: CRITICAL JUNCTURES AND THE
INCREASING FORMALIZATION OF THE CORE EXECUTIVE IN IRELAND

Authors: LAFFAN, BRIGID1; O'MAHONY, JANE2

Source: Public Administration, Volume 85, Number 1, March 2007, pp.
167-188(22)

Publisher: Blackwell Publishing

Abstract:
This article analyses the management of European Union (EU) business by the
Irish core executive. More specifically, it investigates the demands placed
by EU membership on the Irish system of public administration and how the
system has responded to these demands. Employing an institutionalist
analytical framework, the article maps the formal and informal
organizational and procedural devices or structures used to manage EU
affairs in Ireland, as well as dissecting the key relationships that govern
this management process and the role of the domestic agents actively
involved in the EU's governance structure, the cadre or boundary managers.
The article also explores in a dynamic way the development of the capacity
for the management of EU affairs in Ireland over time. Using the concepts of
path dependence and critical junctures, we illuminate how key
system-management decisions became locked-in over time and we isolate the
triggers for significant adaptational change, be they domestic or external.
Adaptation to EU business in Ireland was path-dependent and consisted of
gradual incremental adjustment. This system of flexible adaptation generally
served Ireland well as the EU's policy regime expanded and evolved, but in
response to the shock rejection of the Nice Treaty by the electorate in
2001, significant formalization of the Irish system occurred with the
establishment of new processes and rules for managing relations between the
core executive and the EU.

Euskal Etxeak is a quarterly magazine that reviews the activities of Basques
around the world. It is published by the Basque Government (Presidency)
[Eusko Jaurlaritza - Gobierno Vasco (Lehendakaritza - Presidencia)]

I am on the mailing list for the English language version.

A search for Euskal Etxeak will get you to...

And you should - hopefully - be able to download a copy of the entire
magazine as a pdf file...

Issue #76 (February, 2007), EMIGRATION MUSEUMS is a report on the work of
AEMI, Association of European Migration Institutions, of which our own Brian
Lambkin is a lynchpin, stalwart and workhorse.

There is, on p 4, a map of AEMI member countries - the Uster-American Folk
Park, of course, is listed, as representing the United Kingdom. The
Republic of Ireland has no representation, and is a blank space on the map.

The background to this special issue of Euskal Etxeak is, of course, the
semi-autonomous Basque Government's work on its relationship with the Basque
Diaspora, and the creation of a number of structures to nurture that
relationship. Plus its wish to make itself more visible on the European and
the world stage.

Ideologies Built in Stone

"If building is a political act, then the modern architect is involved =
in the politics of revolution" (quoted, p. 198). This statement made by =
the architect Simon Walker encapsulates some of the main concerns of =
Andrew Kincaid's _Postcolonial Dublin: Imperial Legacies and the Built =
Environment_. Kincaid introduces the book to the reader by stating that =
it "details the ways in which Irish architecture and urban planning =
during the twentieth century engaged the legacy of colonialism and the =
politics of nationalism" (p. xiii). While he stresses that the work =
"seeks to bring the material city back into focus" (p. xv), the =
interpretive framework utilizes concepts adopted from postcolonial =
theory, urban studies, and cultural geography to help underpin the =
central themes under examination. The dual pressures of colonialism and =
nationalism, and their engagement with modernity, are thus the central =
narrative threads of the four main chapters of the book, each of which =
deals with a particular historical moment in the urbanization of Dublin. =
The contextualizing of each of these planning projects is well =
documented, with the discussion based principally on governmental =
papers, architectural plans, and contemporary historical sources.

Kincaid offers a brief survey of the historical development of urban =
space in Ireland in the introductory chapter, where "the legacy of =
urbanization" (p. xviii) is set from the Elizabethan period to the early =
modern period of seventeenth-century Ireland. (It is also argued that =
the development of urban space and architecture in Ireland began with =
the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the twelfth century.) With respect =
to the change in architectural styles in the eighteenth century =
(particularly with the building of private stately homes), Kincaid =
writes that "the consolidation of Anglo-Irish power is most clearly =
visible in architecture across the whole of the country, not just in =
Dublin. Many landlords, magistrates, and other figures of the ascendancy =
built large neo-Palladian and Georgian estates throughout rural Ireland" =
(p. xxii). The interesting point here, not mentioned by Kincaid, is that =
the change in architectural styles was a direct result of a preceding =
period of relative peace in a country that was just beginning to recover =
from the aftermath of the events of 1641, and the Williamite War of the =
1690s. This "consolidation" was arguably a movement away from military =
to peacetime concerns and influences. This is most notable with regards =
to architectural changes, where the embattled and defensive tower house =
gave way, as Kevin Whelan writes, "to the confident horizontality of =
Georgian architecture--porticullis yielded to portico, battlement to =
pediment, loophole to sash window, bawn to walled garden."[1]

While the introduction outlines the main concerns of the book, it also =
points to some difficulties that exist throughout the remaining =
chapters. The first problem is highlighted in the book's title, with the =
posing of the titular categories, "postcolonial" and "imperial," in the =
same context of twentieth-century Dublin. In places, "colonial" and =
"imperial" are used interchangeably with no clear indication of the =
differential claims and resonances of such terms in an Irish context. It =
is unfortunate (to say the least) that a book concerned with colonial =
and imperial legacies in Ireland refers to Derry city solely as =
"Londonderry," without any comment or note on the politics of such =
nomenclature (p. xix). This, one may argue, is a small quibble, but is =
one that is nonetheless a particularly sensitive issue, and especially =
in recent years after the changes in improving community sensitivities, =
especially after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

However, the central difficulty of terminology is the designation of =
Ireland as a colony at the turn of the twentieth century. For example, =
Kincaid writes of "the beginning of the twentieth century, when many =
colonies, including Ireland, rose up in violence against colonial =
oppression" (p. x). The status of Ireland post-1800 (Act of Union of =
Great Britain of Ireland) raises the question of whether Ireland was _de =
jure_ a part of the imperial power, but _de facto_ a colony.[2] The =
categories of colonial and postcolonial are here assumed as organizing =
principles through which Ireland can be read, rather than delineated and =
examined in detail. In the light of Joe Cleary's recent considerations =
on postcolonial theory and its intersection with Irish Studies, an =
examination of where Ireland and Northern Ireland fit into D.K. =
Fieldhouse's famous typology of administrative, plantation, pure =
settler, and mixed settler colonial modes would have been helpful =
here.[3]

The Irish Free State is described both as "postindependence Ireland" and =
"postcolonial Ireland."[4] We are informed that "Postcolonial Ireland, =
the period up until 1945, is normally divided into two phases. The first =
is the period from 1922 to 1932." But we are not informed as to when =
the second period was, and are thus left to infer that this was from =
1932 to 1945 (p. 64). Why Ireland stops being postcolonial in 1945 is =
left unstated (and is particularly curious considering the Republic of =
Ireland Act in 1948), and the status of Northern Ireland as a =
postcolonial state, while mentioned, is left under-examined (which is a =
general tendency in postcolonial studies relating to Ireland). That =
Kincaid does not address these issues satisfactorily is all the more =
surprising as he appears to take issue with Ruth McManus's _Dublin: =
Building the Suburbs, 1910-1940_ (2001). He argues that McManus "fails =
to theorize the term she employs. What is 'the state' and how did town =
planning help create it" (p. 17)? While Kincaid does note the =
"ambivalence about Ireland's status--whether it was metropolitan enough =
to be part of the center or marginal enough to remain a colony" (p. 30), =
a brief analysis of the debate and a clarification of his terminology =
would have been useful to the reader at this point, especially when =
considering how such issues have heavily influenced developments in =
Irish Studies in recent years. [5]

The book is divided into four relatively long chapters, each dealing in =
chronological order with a particular moment in the urban history of =
Dublin. The first chapter deals with Patrick Abercrombie's 1914 town =
plan, _Dublin of the Future_, which was later published in 1922, and =
adopted in part by the Irish Free State "as the basis for a new =
comprehensive city survey" (p. 48). Abercrombie's _Dublin_ was a vision =
of a future city that sought to bring Ireland into line with the modern =
industrial world, with provisions made for workers and transportation, =
and with the city envisaged as a living space, a place that should =
provide both work and recreation. The principal proposals were concerned =
with housing, industrial zoning, parkways, and roads, and included the =
proposed relocation of 64,000 people to different parts of the city and =
into newly designed suburbs. "High speed electric cars" would connect =
workers from Crumlin and Cabra with their place of work, as in this =
period "congestion meant failure" for city planners (p. 55). In this =
early Free State campaign for detailed town planning, Kincaid argues "we =
see the beginnings of a postcolonial geography that nationalists hoped =
would help legitimate their own ideological positions after the =
foundation of an independent state" (p. 57). Kincaid rightly points out =
that the ultimate aim of Abercrombie's project was to regulate "not just =
_where_ but also _how_ people lived, worked, and relaxed" (p. 66). This =
analysis of not only the regulation of what kind of space people were to =
live in, but how they were to spend their time moving around in that =
space, is one of the best chapters in the book.

Chapter 2, "Postindependence Ireland: Beyond Tradition," deals mainly =
with the housing development and reconstruction of Dublin, in =
particular, in the immediate aftermath of the War of Independence in =
1922. In his analysis of the importance of urban planning and the =
progressive steps made in the early years of the fledgling Irish =
government of the 1920s and 1930s, Kincaid makes a significant =
contribution to previous historical accounts of this period, by focusing =
on the improvements and the international influences that were brought =
to bear on the Dublin built environment. It is argued that "a cultural =
reading of the physical landscape of Dublin in the years after =
independence, therefore, reveals much about the priorities of the new =
state" (p. 69). The state, through its planning departments and =
projects, now became the ultimate arbiter over geography. We are =
informed that his "argument has two primary goals" (p. 61). The first is =
"to demonstrate how and why contemporary cultural and literary critics =
represent the postcolonial decades in the ways that they do." The =
second "is to offer an approach that investigates these years of =
national consolidation through a different discourse than literature" =
(p. 65). One key theme that Kincaid takes issue with is the fact that =
the "field of Irish Studies has long been dominated by a literary =
paradigm." He continues with the argument that "one of the pitfalls that =
literary approaches of Dublin has led us into is that the textual city =
has come to take on a greater degree of reality and importance than the =
physical city" (p. xiv). The success of this book is the foregrounding =
of the material culture and legacy of modern Dublin, but this central =
concern is rendered all the more curious when one reads the final =
section of chapter 4, where three literary memoirs of Dublin are =
interpreted in light of his previous discussions of the changes in urban =
Dublin. His engagement with the literary texts, while interesting, =
needed more sustained analysis with regards to the importance of =
Dublin's built environment if his earlier argument is to remain intact.

In addition, the literary account presented here is only one half of the =
story in a bilingual society. Here the politics of language are shown as =
Irish literature is understood to be literature written in the English =
language. Thus "the literary paradigm" (as noted above) is in fact an =
English language paradigm, with its Irish language counterpart never =
playing a role on this Irish Studies stage. There is no mention of the =
importance of Irish literature written in Irish in modern Ireland, and =
this is all the more unnerving considering his comment that "an =
experimental literature arose, a literature written in the English =
language and bearing the traces of a deeply rooted Irish one" (p. 225). =
The assumption here is that experimental literature is reserved solely =
for English language writing, where Irish writing exists only as a =
"trace," or backdrop for such works, and no mention is made of the =
experimental and revolutionary work of key Irish language writers such =
as M=EF=BF=BDirt=EF=BF=BDn =EF=BF=BD Cadhain or Se=EF=BF=BDn =EF=BF=BD =
R=EF=BF=BDord=EF=BF=BDin, in light of this argument.

The analysis of the international style and the foreign influences on =
architectural style is well delineated in the third chapter, =
"Revisionism in Ireland." In particular, Kincaid's reading of the issues =
surrounding the building of the flats in Ballymun and the growth of =
Tallaght (described curiously as a "city," [p. 160]) are extremely =
interesting. These discussions lead into an equally thought-provoking =
examination of the development and marketing surrounding Dublin's =
"left-bank" quarter (the Temple Bar area) as an international, =
postmodern space which has come to represent "the collapse of =
nationalism" in its marketing of its former authenticity (p. 198). =
Abercrombie's "electric cars" have now been replaced by the Luas, an =
overground rail service the two lines of which do not link up much to =
the chagrin of contemporary Dubliners and the amazement of tourists.

Kincaid's _Postcolonial Dublin_ places urban history as an integral part =
of Irish history. In relation to current critical literature dealing =
with the same topic, the book would have benefited from engaging with =
Jacinta Prunty's _Dublin Slums_ (1998) and, more recently, Yvonne =
Whelan's magisterial _Re-inventing Modern Dublin_ (2003), which examines =
the cultural geographies and material iconographies of Dublin before and =
after 1922. Kincaid's central concern with theorizing the urban spaces =
of colonial and postcolonial Dublin could also be further developed to =
engage with Edward Soja's critical urban geographies in the foundational =
_Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social =
Theory_ (1989). Indeed, Kincaid's introductory comments that his project =
stresses the material in his consideration of urban Dublin reads as a =
corollary of Edward Soja's now famous readings of Los Angeles (heavily =
influenced by the Marxist philosopher Henri Lefebvre). Soja's project =
sought to "spatialize the conventional narrative by recomposing the =
intellectual history of critical social theory around the evolving =
dialectics of space, time, and social being."[6] The disciplines of =
geography, history, and social theory are all admirably taken into =
account in Kincaid's examination of the colonial and nationalist =
discourses of urban planning and architectural design that were integral =
to the making and re-making of modern-day Dublin. In highlighting the =
material constructions of a nation-state, Kincaid's _Postcolonial =
Dublin_ contributes to our understanding of its political and material =
nature, and demonstrates how ideologies can in time become built in =
stone.

Bill Mulligan and I have been sharing the task of moderating the Irish
Diaspora list - which involves, basically, just keeping an eye on the
material that comes in for distribution.

I am grateful to Bill Mulligan, because it means that I can occasionally
clear space to focus on my own work - or go for a holiday. I am now going
to tidy things here. And then I am off to Venice, to eat liver, and do art.
As well as all the regular stuff there is currently a major John Singer
Sargent show, plus a touring self-portrait exhibition from the Medici
collections of Florence.

Can I just remind everyone that messages for the Irish Diaspora list should
go to
IR-D[at]JISCMAIL.AC.UK

They then go automatically to Bill Mulligan for moderation and approval.

As ever my thanks to Bill Mulligan.
