Appropriating Architecture: Violence, Surveillance and Anxiety in Belfast's Divis Flats Adam Page School of Hist
Title Page: Appropriating Architecture: Violence, Surveillance and Anxiety in Belfast’s Divis Flats Adam Page School of History and Heritage College of Arts University of Lincoln Brayford Pool Lincoln Lincolnshire LN6 7TSUK [email protected] 0044 (0)1522 835357 1 Biography: Page is a Lecturer in History at the University of Lincoln. He completed his PhD, which analyzed the transformation of cities into targets from interwar to Cold War, at the University of Sheffield in 2014. Before taking up the position at Lincoln, he was a fellow at the MECS Institute for Advanced Study, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, He has published on air war and cities in Urban History and Contemporary European History. He is currently completing a book based on his PhD research, while developing a new project on disputed urban transformations in postwar UK cities. Abstract: In Belfast in the 1970s and 1980s, a modernist housing scheme became subject to multiple contested appropriations. Built between 1966 and 1972, the Divis Flats became a flashpoint in the violence of the Troubles, and a notorious space of danger, poverty, and decay. The structural and social failings of so many postwar system-built housing schemes were reiterated in Divis, as the rapid material decline of the complex echoed the descent into war in Belfast and Northern Ireland. Competing military and paramilitary strategies of violence refigured the topography of the flats, rendering the balcony walkways, narrow stairs, and lift shafts into an architecture of urban war. The residents viewed the complex as a concrete prison. They campaigned for the complete demolition of the flats, with protests which included attacking the architecture of the flats itself. -

Youth Work,Social Education,Democratic Practice and the Challenge of Difference: a Contribution to Debate
Prepublication copy of: Batsleer J. (2013) ‘Youth Work, Social Education, Democratic Practice and the challenge of difference: A contribution to debate’ Oxford Review of Education 39, 3, 287-306 DOI: DOI:10.1080/03054985.2013.803960 Youth Work,Social Education,Democratic Practice and the challenge of difference: A contribution to debate. Youth work in the UK has sometimes been recognised as having a significant contribution to make to education, whilst at other times being valued more for its supposed contribution to social order and the avoidance of riot. Most recently it was recognised as a part of education provision in the Nuffield Review (Pring,2009). This paper presents a case for youth work as a potential contributor to networks of learning which are radical democratic and prefigurative of an education practiced otherwise than primarily through individualism, credentialisation and competition (Fielding and Moss, 2011). It argues for the significance of feminist insights to radical democratic practice, in order to redress the systematic marginalisation of girls and the attribution of a social pathology to working-class boys and other entrenched divisions which occur in much social education as well as to open up the whole terrain of difference as a source of transformation. As the purpose here is to contribute to a theoretical debate, empirical examples of youth work 1 practice are briefly indicated and referenced rather than discussed in depth. However the paper begins by contextualising the theoretical debate in the history of policy as it has framed and constrained youth work. Youth work has been variously understood as a process of social and political education ( Smith,1980; Ord, 2007), community education(Coburn and Wallace, 2011) and as informal learning (Batsleer,2008). -
Principles and Practice of Informal Education
Principles and Practice of Informal Education Informal educators work with individuals and groups in the community to promote their learning. They work in ordinary places, rather than formal classrooms, and use informal methods of teaching and learning such as conversation and shared activities. Focusing on ways of working with people, this book builds on the essentially human abilities to query, adapt, rethink, understand or be confused. The book argues that people learn from each other, in social exchanges which rarely involve a professional educator; so any community can be a setting for learning. Principles and Practice of Informal Education provides a much-needed, and accessible, exploration of learning beyond the classroom. Written by practitioners across a wide range of professional fields, this book will be topical and valuable to anyone working in youth and community work, as well as those in health education, careers guidance and social work. Linda Deer Richardson is a freelance educator for the Open University and YMCA George Williams College in London. Mary Wolfe is a tutor in informal and community education at the YMCA George Williams College.

Entering Catholic West Belfast
Chapter 1 A Walk of Life Entering Catholic West Belfast n a Friday afternoon in September 2004, shortly before returning home from Omy ethnographic fieldwork, I took my video camera and filmed a walk from the city centre into Catholic West Belfast up to the Beechmount area, where I had lived and conducted much of my research. I had come to Catholic West Belfast fourteen months prior with the intention of learning about locally prevailing senses of ethnic identity. Yet I soon found out that virtually every local Catholic I talked to seemed to see him- or herself as ‘Irish’, and apparently expected other locals to do the same. My open questions such as ‘What ethnic or national identity do you have?’ at times even irritated my interlocutors, not so much, as I figured out, because they felt like I was contesting their sense of identity but, to the contrary, because the answer ‘Irish’ seemed so obvious. ‘What else could I be?’ was a rhetorical question I often encountered in such conversations, indicating to me that, for many, Irish identity went without saying. If that was the case, then what did being Irish mean to these people? What made somebody Irish, and where were local senses of Irishness to be found? Questions like these became the focus of my investigations and constitute the overall subject of this book. One obvious entry point for addressing such questions consisted in attending to the ways in which Irishness was locally represented. Listening to how locals talked about their Irishness, keeping an eye on public representations by organizations and the media, and explicitly asking people about their Irishness in informal conversations and formal interviews all constituted ways of approaching this topic. -

The Social, Economic & Political Background To
Heritage, History & Memory Project (Workshop 1) The Social, Economic & Political background to the ‘Long 60s’ A presentation by Kevin Meagher followed by a general discussion compiled by Michael Hall ISLAND 113 PAMPHLETS 1 Published February 2019 by Island Publications 132 Serpentine Road, Newtownabbey BT36 7JQ © Michael Hall 2019 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications The Fellowship of Messines Association gratefully acknowledge the support they have received from the Heritage Lottery Fund for their Heritage, History & Memory Project and the associated publications Printed by Regency Press, Belfast 2 Introduction The Fellowship of Messines Association was formed in May 2002 by a diverse group of individuals from Loyalist, Republican and Trade Union backgrounds, united in their realisation of the need to confront sectarianism in our society as a necessary means to realistic peace-building. The project also engages young people and new citizens on themes of citizenship and cultural and political identity. In 2018 the Association initiated its ‘Heritage, History & Memory Project’. For the inaugural launch of this project it was decided to focus on the period of the 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement, and the early stages of ‘Troubles’. To accomplish this, it was agreed to host a series of six workshops, looking at different aspects of that period, with each workshop developing on from the previous one. The format for each workshop would comprise a presentation by a respected commentator/historian, which would then be followed by a general discussion involving people from diverse political backgrounds, who would be encouraged to share not only their thoughts on the presentation, but their own experiences and memories of the period under discussion. -
Reconsidering the Troubles: an Examination of Paramilitary and State Violence in Northern Ireland
Reconsidering the Troubles: An examination of paramilitary and state violence in Northern Ireland Erica Donaghy 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of International and Global Studies (Honours) in History, University of Sydney. 1 Abstract In the bitter sectarian conflict of the Northern Ireland Troubles, which spanned the years 1966- 1998, culpability has usually been firmly placed in the actions of the Irish Republican Army, a group seeking reunification with the Republic of Ireland. This thesis argues that the roles of Protestant loyalist paramilitaries and state forces such as the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary were equally as important. That this importance is not demonstrated in dominant literature remains to be to the detriment of efforts towards reconciliation and the acceptance of shared responsibility, and perpetuates the sectarian divide between Protestant and Catholic communities. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Chapter One: Republicanism and the IRA 11 Chapter Two: Unionism, loyalism and pro-state violence 31 Chapter Three: State Security Forces: the RUC and the British Army 54 Conclusion 71 Bibliography 75 3 Introduction Throughout the Northern Ireland Troubles, and especially in recent historical scholarship on the events of the conflict, primary culpability and the majority of focus has been given to the actions of republican groups and in particular the Irish Republican Army (in Gaelic Óglaigh na hÉireann). In popular memory and collective understanding outside of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland this group exists as a singular entity, responsible for some of Western Europe’s most bloody, destructive and expensive acts of sectarian terrorism. -
