  • Maleness/Femaleness – the ‘Pharmatic’ Status of Paul Howard, A.K.A Ross O’Carroll-Kelly’S Work
    Otherness: Essays and Studies 2.2 Maleness/Femaleness – The ‘Pharmatic’ Status of Paul Howard, a.k.a Ross O’Carroll-Kelly’s Work Clare Gorman It can be argued that the binary opposition maleness/femaleness read against the texts of Paul Howard, a.k.a Ross O‟Carroll-Kelly, constructs the female as „other‟; as somewhat deviant to the concept of maleness, which serves as the transcendental signifier. This paper is driven by the hierarchical opposition, maleness/femaleness, and how, by the concept of patriarchy, the opposition is hierarchically valorised. Simone de Beauvoir articulates this idea in The Second Sex, when she speaks of women as „other‟, noting that when a woman „tries to define herself, she starts by saying, “I am a woman”: no man would do so‟, and this displays the basic „asymmetry between the terms “masculine” and “feminine”: man define the human, not woman‟ (de Beauvoir 1949, xxxi). The cultural privileging of the male over the female, of the rational over the emotional, of the serious over the frivolous, the reflective over the spontaneous, essentially the self over the other, will be examined here through the texts of Howard. Indeed, it is the character of Ross, Howard‟s main protagonist, and his casual misogyny snobbery, elitism and all round obnoxiousness towards women, which embodies what feminists believe to be the basic structure of culture – women being subject to an androcentric worldview. Howard‟s text when read through the lens of this opposition articulates the notion of phallocentrism – the idea of „male firstness‟ (Derrida 1982, 445). This paper will argue that within the texts of Howard there is a phallocentric construction of woman as „other‟ and by introducing Jacques Derrida‟s concept of „undecidability‟, the idea of otherness can 1 Otherness: Essays and Studies 2.2 be dismantled, essentially blurring the boundaries between the binary opposition maleness/femaleness, so that the boundary that constructs a sense of otherness becomes fluid and ambiguous.

  • 'Tendency-Wit: the Cultural Unconscious of the Celtic Tiger In
    ‘Tendency-Wit: The Cultural Unconscious of the Celtic Tiger in the Writings of Paul Howard Books, education, learning, these things have their place in the life of young men, of course. But not in yours. Because you are an élite … Many of you will go on to play rugby for clubs and form new alliances. A good number of you will meet a fellow at your new club who will get you a highly paid, yet unfulfilling, job that requires you to wear a suit – perhaps in a bank or some other such financial institution – where you’ll open envelopes for fifty or sixty thousand pounds a year. Others will discover that the inability to spell the word lager is no hindrance to getting a job as a rep for a major brewing company if they happen to sponsor your team. Some of you will go on to manage your father’s business. (Howard 2004: 159-60) These words were spoken by Father Denis Fehily, a character in The Miseducation Years by Paul Howard, one of a series of books featuring the adventures of an upper-middle class character called Ross O’Carroll-Kelly. Fehily is the headmaster of the fictional Castlerock College, an exclusive private Catholic school on the (affluent) south side of Dublin, and he makes it very clear that he is speaking to members of a socio-cultural elite. He appears in a number of the books in the series, all of which are supposedly dictated by the fictional main character, Ross, to the author, Paul Howard.
