ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the constitutive rhetorical strategies of revolutionary Irish nationalists operating transnationally from 1858-1876. Collectively known as the Fenians, they consisted of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in the United Kingdom and the Fenian Brotherhood in North America. Conceptually grounded in the main schools of Burkean constitutive rhetoric, it examines public and private letters, speeches, Constitutions, Convention Proceedings, published propaganda, and newspaper arguments of the Fenian counterpublic. It argues two main points. First, the separate national constraints imposed by England and the United States necessitated discursive and non- discursive rhetorical responses in each locale that made

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area is a geo-demographic area. Responses to Census 2000 questions by the residents of New Hampshire and Vermont defined its boundaries. After analysis of those responses, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) selected the towns that showed the greatest social and economic interdependence to define the extent of The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area. The OMB uses a Micropolitan Statistical Area to present local and regional data so that it reflects the actual behaviors of its residents. The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area is an economically integrated region of 25 contiguous towns that spans four counties in two states.

  • Chapter 2: Regional Context
    CHAPTER 2: REGIONAL CONTEXT 1. INTRODUCTION The idea of belonging to a region is nothing new to Hanover and its neighboring municipalities. There is a tradition of thought, activities and inter-municipal cooperation that extends across town, county and state boundaries. Since the Region provides a common background, each town has a stake in keeping the Upper Valley region a desirable place in which to live and work. Hanover and its neighbors cannot afford to look only as far as town lines. Because the population and/or tax base in many towns are small, cooperative efforts are necessary to cut costs for services and, in some cases, essential for the service even to be provided. Individual communities each play a distinctive role in the growth of the Region. As the Town looks ahead to the next decade, it is important to understand Hanover's identity and role in this broader context. While other chapters of this master plan emphasize Hanover and its resources, and goals and policies, this chapter will highlight Hanover's significance from the perspectives of the immediate Upper Valley and broader region. Then, specific issues the Town will need to consider from a regional point of view in the near future will be addressed. 2. A SENSE OF THE PLACE Hanover, a small New England college community, is the cultural anchor of the Upper Valley. With its highly regarded quality of life, Hanover is home to Dartmouth College and its museums, theatrical and musical productions, lectures and sports events, attractions for residents, alumni and visitors. The town’s business and office/laboratory districts maintain a strong and vibrant economic base.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.
