  • Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad
    “Ordinary Man”: Christy Moore and the Irish Protest Ballad MIKE INGHAM Introduction: Contextualizing the Modern Ballad In his critical study, The Long Revolution, Raymond Williams identified three definitions of culture, namely idealist, documentary, and social. He conceives of them as integrated strands of a holistic, organic cultural process pertaining to the “common associative life”1 of which creative artworks are an inalienable part. His renowned “structure of feeling” concept is closely related to this theoretical paradigm. The ballad tradition of popular and protest song in many ethnic cultural traditions exemplifies the core of Williams’s argument: it synthesizes the ideal aesthetic of the traditional folk song form as cultural production, the documentary element of the people, places, and events that the song records and the contextual resonances of the ballad’s source and target cultures. Likewise, the persistence and durability of the form over many centuries have ensured its survival as a rich source for ethnographic studies and an index of prevailing socio-political conditions and concerns. As twentieth-century commentators on the Anglophone ballad form, such as A. L. Lloyd, have observed, there is an evident distinction between the older ballad tradition, tending toward a more impersonal and distanced voice and perspective, and the more personal style of ballad composed after the anthropological research of ethnomusicologists such as Cecil Sharp, Alan Lomax, and others during the first half of the twentieth century. The former derives from a continuous lineage of predominantly anonymous or unattributed folk material that can be said to reside in the public domain, and largely resists recuperation or commodification by the music industry.

  • Junior Cycle Reform: Motion
    Junior Cycle Reform: Motion Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I move: That Seanad Éireann----- notes the proposals developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment in "Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle - Innovation and Identity", and "A Framework for Junior Cycle" subsequently published by the Department of Education and Skills, and calls on the Minister for Education and Skills to give his assurance that history will be reinstated as a core subject for the Junior Certificate. I will not call for a quorum on this very important subject, although I have that right. What do we need to know? That is the real question. Does it matter that we do not have a quorum? Acting Chairman (Senator Imelda Henry): The sitting can continue without a quorum but if the Senator wishes to call one she may do so. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: I think I will call a quorum, yes. Notice taken that 12 members were not present; House counted and 12 Members being present, Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell: The real question surrounding this Private Members' motion is what do we or, in particular, what young people need to know in order to understand how the world became what we perceive it to be today. They will not learn this through technology or the "X Factor". One of the most radical and extraordinary thinkers in education was Neil Postman. He believed that for education to be meaningful, young people, their parents and teachers must have a common narrative. The question I put to those Senators who have turned up for this debate is "Do we have a common narrative?" If we do, how could the Department of Education and Skills, when the History Teachers Association disagrees so vehemently, change history from a core subject to a discrete subject in the junior cycle? There are many false gods of modern education lurking around and trying to get attention.
