  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • Irish Quotes
    Irish Quotes No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating. Oscar Wilde The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything. Oscar Wilde Peter O’ Toole was once asked what was his favorite Irish food: “My number one choice is Guinness. My number two choice would be Guinness. My number three choice would have to be Guinness.” Peter O'Toole. "A Kerry footballer with an inferiority complex is one who thinks he's just as good as everybody else." - Author John B. Keane The rain drove us into the church - our refuge, our strength, our only dry place...Limerick gained a reputation for piety, but we knew it was only the rain. Frank McCourt "Making peace, I have found, is much harder than making war." - Gerry Adams "The immigrant's heart marches to the beat of two quite different drums, one from the old homeland and the other from the new. The immigrant has to bridge these two worlds, living comfortably in the new and bringing the best of his or her ancient identity and heritage to bear on life in an adopted homeland." - Irish President McAleese I think there's a bit of the devil in everybody. There's a bit of a priest in everybody, too, but I enjoyed playing the devil more. He was more fun. Gabriel Byrne "I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted." - Soccer star George Best "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." Oscar Wilde "We have always found the Irish a bit odd.

    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, vol. 24, 2020. Seville, Spain, ISSN 1133-309-X, pp. 135-157 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/REN.2020.i24.07 IRISH-AMERICAN PATRIOTISM: THE TRANSATLANTIC POLITICS AND HUMANIST CULTURE OF COLUM MCCANN ALFRED MARKEY Universidad de León [email protected] Received 29 July 2020 Accepted 11 October 2020 KEYWORDS Irish-American; patriotism; humanism; transatlantic; Colum McCann; identity; public intellectual; Frederick Douglass; The Gathering; Washington Consensus. PALABRAS CLAVE Irlandés-americano; patriotismo; humanismo; transatlántico; Colum McCann; identidad; intelectual público; Frederick Douglass; The Gathering; Consenso de Washington. ABSTRACT This article proposes the novel TransAtlantic, from the Irish- American writer Colum McCann, as an example of what Edward Said called a “countermemory.” Such a countermemory facilitates the taking of critical positions against what the British intellectual Tony Judt called the “Washington Consensus:” the ideological ‘pensée unique’ which has dominated the Western world in recent decades, resulting in the substitution of an ethically-informed public conversation by a powerful discourse which prioritises, above all, the values of the so-called marketplace. This article explores how, via his historical novel, his participation as a public intellectual and through his concept of identity as art, McCann gives us a world of different values, values of trans-national and universal solidarity which implicate figures from Frederick Douglass to Barack Obama or the

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.
