  • The Political Economy and Media Coverage of the European Economic Crisis
    ‘Austerity as a policy harms the many and benefits the few. In a democracy that’s sup- posed to be hard to sell. Yet the democracies most effected by the European financial crisis saw no such democratic revolt. Mercille tells us why. Updating and deploying the Chomsky-Herman propaganda model of the media in a systematic and empirical way, he shows us how alternative policies are sidelined and elite interests are protected’. Mark Blyth, Professor of International Political Economy, Brown University ‘This is one of the most important political economy books of the year. Julien Mercille’s book is set to become the definitive account of the media’s role in Ireland’s spectacular and transformative economic boom and bust. He argues convincingly that critical poli- tical economic perspectives are a rarity in the Irish media and Mercille’s devastating critique painstakingly chronicles the persistent failures of the Irish media’. Dr. Tom McDonnell, Macroeconomist at the Nevin Economic Research Institute (NERI) ‘The European economies remain trapped in high levels of unemployment while more austerity is promoted as the solution. Yet the media plays a key role in presenting these austerity policies as though “there is no alternative”. This book, with a focus on Ireland, provides compelling evidence on the ideological role of the media in the presentation of the policies favoring the economic, financial and political elites. A highly recommended read for its analyses of the crises and of the neo-liberal interpretation from the media’. Malcolm Sawyer, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Leeds ‘The basic story of the economic crisis is simple.

The Arts Council – Appendix A The Irish Film Board – Appendix B 2 I R E L A N D Cultural Industries Report INTRODUCTION – Geographic and Economic Background Ireland's island position as a 'western periphery of Europe' has been a determining factor for Irish society in general and Irish culture in particular. With 3.87 million inhabitants settled in a land area of 68,890 km², for the part of Ireland which is now the Republic, it has the second smallest population among the European Union countries. Ireland has experienced an economic boom in the last 12 years, and has one of Europe’s highest economic growth rates – currently around 5 per cent, with annual inflation kept in check at 4 per cent, and a highly developed information technology sector. The country has attracted overseas investment over recent decades with an enticing package of tax incentives. Formerly targeted as an EU poverty region situated on the periphery of Europe, the country has benefited from an influx of European Structural Funds for regional development, which have also impacted on arts and culture. Up until 8 years ago unemployment remained stubbornly high at around 10 per cent and there were reports of a widening gap between levels of income.

  • The Baby and the Bathwater: Cultural Loss in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
    The Baby and the Bathwater: Cultural Loss in Nineteenth-Century Ireland ANGELA BOURKE This essay examines the process by which the nineteenth-century ideology of rationality, with its linear and colonial thought-patterns, gained ascendancy over a vernacular cognitive system in Ireland, especially after the Famine. It draws on a variety of lives and images from the nineteenth century to illustrate the rich resources of imagination, memory, creativity and communication that were jettisoned when the Irish language and its oral traditions were denigrated and discarded throughout much of the country. It is an attempt to imagine the baby that was thrown out with the bathwater when the old ways were purged. In 1845, when the South American food plant Solanum tuberosum, better known by a version of its Taino name, batata, succumbed all over Ireland to Phytophthora infestans, the potato blight fungus, the result was famine and cul- tural cataclysm. The huge population of poor, illiterate, mostly Irish-speaking agricultural labourers which had depended for food on the potato was devas- tated by starvation, disease and emigration, and a rising, English-speaking, mid- dle class quickly moved to occupy the space vacated. The growing social importance of a Maynooth-trained priesthood, drawn mostly from the families of 'strong' tenant farmers, was only one aspect of the cultural change that fol- lowed.' Life changed for ordinary working people too. The miserable makeshift dwellings in which so many of the destitute poor had lived were swept aside, to be replaced from the 18 8o on by the sturdy labourers' cottages provided for by the Labourers (Ireland) Act of 1883.

Born in Limerick, Kevin has lived in many places, including Cork, Santa Barbara, Barcelona, and Liverpool. Recent years have, however, seen him settle in Sligo, where he has purchased and renovated a former police station. He is driven by enormous creative energy though he disarmingly refers to himself as a “raving egomaniac.” Barry’s most recent novel Beatlebone imagines John Lennon’s journey to an island he owns in Ireland, his battles with creative block, primal scream therapy, and his new album, the eponymous Beatlebone. “My initial spark of inspiration is always place.

  • Post-Catholic Ireland in Literature and Popular Culture
    P O S T - C A T H O L I C I R E L A N D I N L I T E R A T U R E A N D POPULAR CULTURE Lisa McGonigle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis proposes the concept of turn-of-the-millennium Irish culture as “post-Catholic”. It outlines how the Catholic Church had occupied so powerful a position in the post- independent Irish State, but recent decades have seen such profound changes in the moral and political authority ceded to the Church. This thesis therefore argues that the dissolution of the Church’s hegemony constitutes a paradigm sociopolitical and cultural shift, which it defines as the move from a Catholic to post-Catholic society. It also argues that this shift has been both reflected in and effected by literature and popular culture, focusing in particular on issues of gender and sexuality in selected cultural texts. Chapter One examines how Marian Keyes uses the chick-lit novel to write back against conservative Catholicism and the maternalisation of Irish women, supplanting the “Irish Catholic Mammy” with a younger, sexually active generation of Irish women who do not define their subjectivity in terms of their maternal duties. It argues that Keyes’ hostility towards the Catholic Church affects, indeed directs, the sexual politics and frankness of her work and her treatment of topics such as abortion and divorce. Chapter Two investigates how popular novelist Maeve Binchy explores female sexuality and desire in opposition to a traditional Catholic discourse of sin and virtue.

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

The Irish potato famine played a significant role in the migration patterns from Ireland to the United States, however, much of the research has solely focused on the men in these migration patterns. The women involved in these migration patterns, long neglected and overlooked by historians, were equally important to the history of the famine and subsequent migration patterns from Ireland to the United States. The men, women, and children impacted by the Irish potato famine experienced excruciating heartache and loss, as well as extreme conditions and deprivation. Yet, through it all, those who were able to migrate to the United States contributed to the growth of the Irish population and protected Irish culture.

  • Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland
    Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland by Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde to which is appended a chapter on "The Ancient Race of Ireland" by the late Sir William Wilde. London: Ward & Downey [1887] Boston, Ticknor [1888] Preface THE three great sources of knowledge respecting the shrouded part of humanity are the language, the mythology, and the ancient monuments of a country. From the language one learns the mental and social height to which a nation had reached at any given period in arts, habits, and civilization, with the relation of man to man, and to the material and visible world. The mythology of a people reveals their relation to a spiritual and invisible world; while the early monuments are solemn and eternal symbols of religious faith---rituals of stone in cromlech, pillar, shrine and tower, temples and tombs. The written word, or literature, comes last, the fullest and highest expression of the intellect and culture, and scientific progress of a nation. The Irish race were never much indebted to the written word. The learned class, the ollamhs, dwelt apart and kept their knowledge sacred. The people therefore lived entirely upon the traditions of their forefathers, blended with the new doctrines taught by Christianity; so that the popular belief became, in time, an amalgam of the pagan myths and the Christian legend, and these two elements remain indissolubly united to this day. The world, in fact, is a volume, a serial rather going on for six thousand years, but of which the Irish peasant has scarcely yet turned the first age.
