Irská emigrace ve střední Evropě a rod Taafe / The Irish Emigration in the Middle Europe and the Family of TaafeBeštová, Veronika January 2014 (has links)
The work is focused on the fate of Irish emigration to Central Europe (the Habsburg monarchy) during the 16th and 17th centuries and its subsequent fate in this region. Particular attention is paid to the family of the Counts Taaffe, who especially in the 19th century significantly influenced politics in the Austrian Empire. Irish emigration in the 17th and 18th century can be divided into three major waves. The first hit after the defeat of Ireland Ulster insurgents in Kinsale. Local elites were not willing to accept a subordinate position and four years after the signing of. Mellifontské contract went 30 September 1607 more than ninety Ulstr for the most important nobles in exile. This "escape poke" had far-reaching consequences for Ireland and has contributed greatly to the realization of England's plans. The second and most extensive emigration met Ireland after the Armistice in Kilkeny in May 1652, ie during the era of Oliver Cromwel. The third wave of emigration then caused the victory of William of Orange over James II. in the battle of the Boyne in 1690 and Aughrimu the 1691. Most Irish emigrants resorted to the Catholic powers, particularly Spain, France and Austria. They can be roughly divided into three groups. First it was the Catholic priests, mainly members of the Franciscan order....

Ženy v románech Kate O'Brien / Another Way Out: Women in Kate O'Brien's FictionHomolková, Šárka January 2013 (has links)
Kate O'Brien was one of Ireland's best female writers; moreover, she was one of the first to centre on the Catholic Middle Class in her writing, as this class was long neglected. O'Brien was famous for her women-oriented books in which she portrayed the lives of women of the rising bourgeoisie of Ireland at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century. We can trace a certain development in O'Brien's writing, throughout her career she becomes more radical and comes to voice feminist notions about women being equal to men as well women's seeking independence from the world dominated by men. Most of her novels are family-oriented and may be called Bildungsromans as the protagonists, which apart from two books are all female, develop and grow to maturity and learn to understand the world and their place in it. As this thesis examined how the women in O'Brien's novels reflect the situation of women in her home country, it is apparent that throughout her life the writer became more radical and sceptical towards the fate of women in Ireland. Therefore, in her first written pieces she portrays women in their traditional roles as dutiful wives, daughters, or mothers. It is only in her later writing that the women manage to emancipate themselves and lead their lives independently. In O'Brien's first two...

A reappraisal of archaeological geophysical surveys on Irish road corridors 2001-2010 : with particular reference to the influence of geological, seasonal and archaeological variablesBonsall, James Peter Thomas January 2014 (has links)
Geophysical surveys in the Republic of Ireland and elsewhere rarely have the opportunity to receive direct, meaningful and quantitative feedback from ground observed excavations, despite their frequent occurrence as a subsequent phase of development-led archaeological projects. This research critically reappraises the largest and most coherent geophysical archive maintained by a single end-user over a ten year period. The geophysical archive has been collated from 170 reports on linear road schemes as a result of commercially-driven assessments in Ireland, to facilitate the biggest analysis of geophysical survey legacy data and subsequent detailed excavations. The analysis of the legacy data archive has reviewed and tested the influence of key variables that have, in some circumstances, affected the methods and outcomes of geophysical assessments in Ireland over the last 10 years. By understanding the impact of those key variables upon the legacy data - which include archaeological feature type, geology, sampling strategy and seasonality - appropriate and new ways to research linear corridors have been suggested that should be employed in future geophysical survey assessments for a range of environments and archaeological site types. The comprehensive analysis of geophysical surveys from the legacy data archive has created definitive statements regarding the validity of geophysical techniques in Ireland. Key failures that occurred in the past have been identified and a thorough investigation of new and novel techniques or methods of survey will facilitate a more robust approach to geophysical survey strategies in the future. The outcomes of this research are likely to have ramifications beyond the Irish road corridors from which the legacy data derives.

Masculinities and the paedophile : discursive strategies in Irish newspapersGalvin, Miriam January 2009 (has links)
This study examines the ways in which men who relate sexually to children, identified in the press as paedophiles, are represented in four leading newspapers in the Republic of Ireland in the period from 2003-2005. Utilising a qualitative research methodology namely critical discourse analysis, a social constructionist approach and informed by post-structural perspectives, this research examines the ways in which the masculinities of the man represented as 'the paedophile' are constructed. This research demonstrates how the normative is reinforced through the delegitimation of the masculinities of these men. The discursive regimes and cultural scenarios drawn upon in representations of 'the paedophile' reflect degrees of deviation from hegemonic masculinity in an always already 'deviant' group of men. Inactive heterosexuality and homosexuality are not hegemonic masculine practices, and the masculinity of supposedly, celibate clergymen and homosexual men is discursively subordinated. A consideration of the material dimensions of these discourses, illustrates how the media representation of men who relate sexually to children, confirms the normative contours of society and strategically excludes hegemonic masculinity and the wider society from association with adult male sexual interaction with children.

Postcolonial Identity in Ireland: Hybridity, Third Space, and the Uncanny : in Hugo Hamilton’s THE SPECKLED PEOPLE A Memoir of a Half-Irish Childhood and THE SAILOR IN THE WARDROBEJohansson, Fredrik January 2019 (has links)
This essay explores and investigates post-colonial identity in Ireland in Hugo Hamilton’s The Speckled People: A Memoir of a Half-Irish Childhood (2003) and The Sailor in the Wardrobe (2006). Relying primarily on Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial criticism, which draws on some ideas from psychoanalysis, this essay argues that the autobiographies resonate well with the ideas of culture as a strategy of survival and of the post-colonial child as an analyst of Western modernity. Thus, three chosen concepts; ‘the Uncanny’, ‘Third Space’ and ‘Hybridity’ work together to reveal a recurring theme of split and duplicity in reference to the colonial past throughout. Furthermore they also reveal that the actual writing of the autobiographies in itself must be regarded as a way of responding to and negotiating that very same split and duplicity in reference to Ireland’s past.

The Formation of Musical Communities in Twentieth Century Irish LiteratureTroeger, Rebecca Louise January 2014 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Marjorie Howes / This dissertation is situated within the opening field of Irish literary and musical interdisciplinary studies and argues that a scholarly focus on the presence of music within Irish literature and culture opens new readings and perspectives. Drawing on cultural studies and musicology, I focus on the musical moment as a limited space during which identities and relationships are dynamically refigured. Through this approach, I look at the formations of communal and individual identities in and through musical performances, the production of gendered identities through music, and musical constructions of memory and the past. The first two chapters of my study deal specifically with the development of gendered identities through musical performance. Chapter 1 focuses on William Butler Yeats' and Augusta Gregory's variations on the trope of the male wandering musician as reflected in their writings on the Galway singer and poet Anthony Raftery, and the effects of Yeats' interest in Raftery on the evolution of his poetic persona, Red Hanrahan. I argue that Raftery, as introduced to Yeats by Lady Gregory, was pivotal to the evolution of Yeats' self-image as a national poet and helped to define his thoughts on poetry as a performed and musical art. Chapter 2 focuses on opera as a venue for an increased range of personal expression for female characters in Joyce. In it, I argue that the strictly disciplined nature of operatic roles allow Julia Morkan of "The Dead" and Molly Bloom of Ulysses a level of agility with gender identity otherwise unavailable to them. Chapter 3 moves from the gendered individual to communal and national identity as reflected in the musical events at the 1932 Eucharistic Congress in Dublin. In it, I argue that the musical performances throughout this event briefly opened a unique social space in which contradictory versions of Irish identity could coexist. Finally, Chapter 4 moves ahead to the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, focusing on Roddy Doyle's approaches to communal musical experience, the negotiations of identities through music, and constructions of memory through music in The Commitments and The Guts. Here, I consider the issues of cultural connections and appropriations examined by critics of The Commitments and extend these questions to a reading of The Guts. Drawing on Arjun Appadurai's work on the mobility of cultures and the availability of the past as "raw material" for the present, I argue that The Guts shows how a fraudulent "found" recording of a fictional singer can provide a needed ancestor who articulates a needed narrative of defiance and survival for a 2012 audience. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2014. / Submitted to: Boston College.

High Destiny: How Leadership and Censorship Made World War II Neutrality the Will of the Irish PeopleMurphy, Douglas Paul January 2005 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Robert K. O'Neill / World War II is regarded as the modern war in which it is easiest to make moral judgments about right and wrong. How could Ireland – a nation more closely tied to its religion than almost any other – have remained on the sidelines while Europe was torn apart in a bloody struggle to save democracy? This paper examines the ways in which the charismatic and savvy leadership of prime minister Eamon de Valera, a man of both pragmatism and principle, the strict war-time censorship which was imposed on the media (specifically the country's proudest, and most pro-British, newspaper, the Irish Times), and the lenses through which the people viewed the war – most notably, that of their Catholic faith – combined to make neutrality a policy which was not just accepted but embraced as a defining step for Ireland as a nation. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2005. / Submitted to: Boston College.

O Brasil na Irlanda: vidas em deslocamento na mobilidade contemporânea / Brazil in Ireland: lives in displacement in contemporary mobilitySoares, Alessandra Garcia 12 December 2014 (has links)
O fenômeno das migrações internacionais não é recente e há muito tempo gera interesse nas diferentes áreas das ciências humanas, entre elas, a Geografia. Dados do Itamaraty de 2014 revelam que há 2,8 milhões de brasileiros residindo no exterior. A partir dos anos 1980 a emigração de brasileiros para os Estados Unidos, Japão e alguns países da Europa desperta o interesse de muitos pesquisadores. Nosso enfoque está em um destino de brasileiros migrantes que ganha visibilidade na última década, os brasileiros na Irlanda, que é tomada, aqui, para discussão deste importante tema que são os movimentos populacionais contemporâneos. As reflexões aqui manifestas partem da constatação de que o atual período técnicocientífico- informacional e de globalização contribuíram na intensificação da mobilidade internacional, impondo novos e complexos desafios. Tomamos como premissa que os atuais movimentos migratórios resultam de um complexo conjunto de fatores, que envolve elementos da macroestrutura e do plano individual. Por este motivo, buscamos centrar a análise na importância das redes de solidariedade como agentes que reforçam os fluxos migratórios internacionais. Somamo-nos, assim, aos que tem como objeto de investigação um fenômeno presente na atual dinâmica da população brasileira. / The phenomenon of international migration is probably as old as humanity and for a long time has sparked interest in various areas of human science, including Geography. Data of the Brazilian State Department Itamaraty from 2014 showed that 2.8 million Brazilians live abroad. Since the 1980s lots of researchers have been analysing the immigration of Brazilians to the United States of America, Japan as well as some European countries. The following thesis focuses on the Brazilian immigrants that have just become notable in the last decade, taking the Brazilian immigrants in Ireland as an example to discuss a subject of utmost importance: contemporary international migration. In the thesis it is argued that both the present age of science and technology and globalization contribute to the rise of global mobility and migration causing new, complex challenges. The argumentation is based on the assumption that the current movements of migration are the result of an entire set of factors on macro and on individual level. Therefore, the analysis is focused on the significance of networks of solidarity such as mechanisms that reinforce international migration flows.

The Unknown Ally: Irish Neutrality during World War II and a Consolidated Model Analysis of its Effects on Anglo-Irish RelationsFitzpatrick, Christopher M. January 2013 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Kenneth Kersch / Thesis advisor: Robert Savage / There is perhaps no more interesting and complex relationship between states than that of Ireland and the United Kingdom – a matter made all the more complicated by their disagreements during the Second World War. The objective of this thesis was to determine whether Ireland’s policy in the war could accurately be described as neutral and what effects this policy had on Anglo-Irish relations. In order to address these questions, this work studies contemporary government documents, media reporting, and personal correspondence, as well as considering pre-existing scholarship on the matter. The principal conclusion of this work was that Ireland substantially aided the Allied war effort, and that its policies during the conflict did not have any lasting negative implications for the state’s relationship with the United Kingdom. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2013. / Submitted to: Boston College.
