Like pilgrims to this moment : myth, history, and politics in the early writing of Seamus Heaney and Leonard CohenWard, Caitlin 23 December 2008
This thesis examines the early work of poets Leonard Cohen and Seamus Heaney in light of their treatment of mythology, ritual, and mythologization, moving either from personal to political awareness (Heaney), or from political to personal awareness (Cohen). Heaney, writing in the midst of the Irish Troubles throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, slowly works up to political awareness as the situation from which he is writing becomes more dire. By contrast, Cohen writes during the beginnings of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, moving progressively farther away from the highly political and mythologized work of his first book. This thesis analyzes both poets first four books of poetry and how each poet addresses the politics of his historical time and place as a minority figure: an Irish Catholic in Northern Ireland, and an Anglophone Jew in Montreal, respectively. Ultimately, each poet chooses to mythologize and use traditional mythologies as a means of addressing contemporary horrors before being poetically (and politically) exhausted by the spiritual and mental exertion involved in the "poetry of disfigurement."

"The City is Yours": Desegregation and Sharing Space in Post-Conflict BelfastForss, Alec January 2018 (has links)
This study examines how borders are socially produced and deconstructed in “post-conflict” North Belfast. Twenty years after the signing of the historic Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, a peace model lauded for the resolution of conflicts worldwide, Belfast today remains a highly divided city with the existence of numerous segregation barriers, among them so-called peace walls, physically separating Protestant from Catholic neighbourhoods. Indicating a failure to achieve social accommodation, this thesis seeks to examine how people in North Belfast understand, negotiate, and experience space and borders around them. In particular, it illuminates the processes and agents involved in modifying and transforming borders, as well as the resistance engendered in doing so amidst considerable intra-community debate and competition over place identities and their attendant narratives. Placed firmly within the anthropological study of borders and space, it shows how borders and their regimes are socially constructed and should be understood as practices and imaginations rather than simply as inert objects which render individuals as passive “victims” of their urban environs. It furthermore seeks to challenge prevailing cognitive and analytical constructs of borders and border crossing. Based on ten weeks of fieldwork in Belfast by the author, this study employs extensive participant observation and semi-structured interviews.

Les peacelines de Belfast. Du maintien de l'ordre à l'aménagement urbain (1969-2002)Ballif, Florine 05 May 2006 (has links) (PDF)
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser le processus de cloisonnement urbain issu des Troubles à Belfast pendant les 30 dernières années. Face aux désordres incontrôlables de l'été 1969, l'armée érige une peaceline sur les limites des quartiers confessionnels. Elle se pérennise et des murs supplémentaires sont construits. Ils sont situés dans l'inner city de Belfast, lieu de résidence des communautés ouvrières catholiques et protestantes. Avec l'installation dans la durée de ce conflit de ‘faible intensité' et la recrudescence des conflits micro-locaux à partir des années 1990, la police érige d'autres murs. L'analyse de la presse locale et des interviews avec les forces de l'ordre et des représentants du ministère de l'intérieur sont les données qui ont permis de comprendre les conditions de pérennisation de ces structures et de leur intégration aux procédures de maintien de l'ordre. Les peacelines cloisonnent partiellement les enclaves résidentielles catholiques et protestantes. Elles sont prises en compte dans les opérations de rénovation urbaine depuis le début des années 1980. La banalisation des dispositifs de sécurité renforce la division. Cependant avec le processus de paix depuis 1994, les ‘interfaces', limites disputées entre les communautés, bénéficient des politiques urbaines des quartiers en difficultés et sont le lieu de nouveaux aménagements qui visent à restaurer la confiance. Des entretiens avec des responsables des politiques urbaines ont permis d'analyser les dynamiques contradictoires de ces territoires.

Le désarmement de l'Irish Republican Army : de la lutte paramilitaire à la lutte politiqueLafond, Marie-Hélène 08 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Peu d'études se penchent sur la démilitarisation de l'Irish Republican Army et la poursuite de sa lutte dans l'arène politique. Deux raisons m'ont poussée à étudier le conflit nord-irlandais. D'abord, il est intéressant d'étudier une organisation paramilitaire qui possède un lien symbiotique, une attache historique à un parti politique, le Sinn Fein, dont certains membres ont combattu dans ses rangs, sont présents à l'Assemblée nationale nord-irlandaise et agissent à titre de politiciens reconnus en Irlande du Nord. De plus, les relations internationales du 21e siècle créent d'importantes réflexions sur le phénomène de groupes paramilitaires politisés et le cas de l'Irish Republican Army est souvent repris par professeurs et journalistes comme exemple d'une victoire face à un groupe paramilitaire extrémiste. On insiste toutefois sur le fait qu'inclure la branche armée nord-irlandaise dans les négociations de paix relève d'une exception plutôt qu'une règle dans la lutte contre ces groupes. Pour bien des experts et des politiciens, il s'agit autant d'un modèle à suivre qu'à bannir dans cette lutte où la nostalgie du temps de la bonne vieille IRA semble incomparable aux demandes inaccessibles et à la terreur irréelle qu'engendre certains groupes paramilitaires d'aujourd'hui. Ainsi, dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons à la relation qu'entretient l'IRA auprès de sa branche politique, le Sinn Fein comme facteur principal contribuant à la démilitarisation du groupe paramilitaire. On se rend compte qu'une série de dynamiques sont à réunir afin d'encourager, voire de forcer, le dépôt des armes de l'IRA. Comme première dynamique, il est alors essentiel que la branche politique domine la branche paramilitaire. Pour ce faire, d'importants bouleversements internes bousculent la structure du mouvement afin que la branche politique contrôle la branche paramilitaire. De plus, la deuxième dynamique entraîne la branche politique à bénéficier d'une place au sein même des négociations de paix. Finalement, comme troisième dynamique, le soutien, voire la reconnaissance, de la communauté internationale, à la branche politique permet d'affirmer que la branche politique, le Sinn Fein, a subordonné la lutte armée de l'IRA.

For-to complements in Appalachian EnglishWade-Woolley, Lesly A. (Lesly Ann) January 1989 (has links)
This thesis investigates the phenomenon of for-to complements in several dialects, focusing primarily on Appalachian English, though Belfast English and Ottawa Valley English are also examined. Following Chomsky's Government and Binding theory, we develop an analysis of for-to that predicts the distribution of for-to complements based on the requirements of Case, and the varieties of licit movement of features allowed by each dialect. To do this, we propose a Revised Case Filter which requires functional categories bearing Case features to discharge Case. We also show that the features of functional categories can move either by head movement (allowing movement of to into for) or by feature transmission (allowing for to move into to). / Each of these mechanisms generates a specific range of well-formed for-to complements; the distribution of these complements can be predicted by the ways in which the dialects allow features to move. Appalachian English and Ottawa Valley English allow head movement of features only, while Belfast English allows features to move via head movement and feature transmission. Thus for-to complements are more wide-spread in Belfast English than in the other for-to dialects. Standard English, which does not allow features to move unless they are accompanied by lexical material, does not exhibit for-to complements at all.

Civil Religion Iconography : A New Theoretical Perspective Regarding Public ArtBenedetti, Alexa Leigh January 2021 (has links)
Based on the idea that public art reflects cultural values and is meant, not as many have argued as a means of teaching history, but rather as a means of promoting cultural ideals, public art serves a role in lauding people and behaviors and reflects an important facet in the creation of a national identity and ethos. Further, that in this function of promoting societal norms, public art serves as an iconography of a “civil religion” which tells a story to the citizenry about what a given country admires, reveres and aspires to and promotes a specific moral narrative regarding a country and its people. Thus, public art forms an iconography reflecting the norms of the “civil religion” and its related mores, morals and ethical values.

Organizace a řízení veřejného knihovnictví ve Velké Británii / Management and organisation of public libraries in Great BritainBradáčová, Ivana January 2012 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to describe public librarianship in Great Britain, its organisation and the services. The practice way will be demonstrate on the public libraries in the cities of the four countries of the United Kingdom. The core of the thesis is devided into six main chapters. The brief history of the public librarianship will be introduce in the first chapter with focus on the first public libraries in the UK. The four main chapters analyse organisation and services of the public library networks of the cities - City of London Libraries, Cardiff's Libraries, Edinburgh City Libraries and Belfast NI Libraries. These four chapters describe and analyse organisation, services, equipment, culture events, libraries's PR. At the end of these chapters there are a summaries of the libraries's strenghts and weaknesses. In the last, summary chapter, there is a final analyse of all libraries services and organisation, there is also comparation and at least description how the british public libraries work. Demonstration of this will be shown on the public library network of the cities and on the model of typical british library. At the end there are advices for czech public libraries. [Authors' abstract]. Keywords: public librarianship, public libraries, services, Great Britain, United Kingdom,...
