Communicating Transitional Justice and Peacebuilding: How Does Storytelling Communicating Transitional Justice and Peacebuilding: How does storytelling challenge the meta-conflict in Northern Ireland? Jamie Pickering A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Sociology University of Essex October 2020 Abstract Research into the way that peacebuilding and transitional justice contribute to or challenge existing discourses in affected regions demonstrates a fragile relationship, whereby interventions may exacerbate existing cleavages in divided societies. Storytelling includes a range of approaches that allow people to express and listen to stories related to the conflict in and about Northern Ireland. This can take various forms; it may involve community led oral history projects, intergroup talking circles, or exhibitions where artwork or objects are used to tell the story of the conflict’s victims. Building on theoretical frameworks presented in both transitional justice and peacebuilding literature, this thesis is primarily concerned with issues related to post-conflict narratives. In Northern Ireland this is most notable in what is referred to as the meta-conflict; the conflict about the conflict itself, which persists today. In global peacebuilding and transitional justice efforts, the existence of this tension can result in initiatives that pointedly avoid questions around the causes and conduct of the conflict itself. I addressed this uneasy relationship through semi- structured interviews with storytelling experts and facilitators, to present a rich account of the methods of grassroots peace work in Northern Ireland. In addition to an account of local experts from across the spectrum of storytelling projects this thesis presents an alternative analytical framework, by considering the extent to which the meta-conflict is challenged by these projects. It is argued that storytelling projects challenge the meta-conflict in the process of story-gathering due to a commitment to core principles shared by storytelling facilitators, but that there is a far more varied approach to story-sharing, due to the difficulties of contextualisation and political or economic barriers. Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank the participants in this research, and anyone who helped contribute to the fieldwork. I am enormously grateful for the time you took to speak to me. I hope that, in return, this research is of some use or interest to peacebuilders in Northern Ireland. This thesis would not exist without the support of my supervisors. Thank you to Carlos Gigoux Gramegna – I am grateful for the relaxed but ever-present support, reassurance and constructive feedback. Thank you also to Colin Samson for his wise suggestions and ensuring I will never use the word ‘whilst’ ever again - quite right too. I would also like to thank the following for their academic support: Ulrike Theuerkauf and Martin Scott at UEA - for giving me the inspiration, guidance and confidence to apply for a PhD in the first place. Clara Sandoval-Villalba for some important first year pointers around transitional justice literature, and Johanna Römer for her encouragement and feedback. Aoife Duffy for some essential input regarding my initial research design – which is partly owed to a lightbulb moment in one of her classes. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support – thanks to anyone who has asked about the thesis and not glazed over when I started to explain, or offered respite of some kind. You know who you are – the inane chat on Whatsapp, coffee in Bury St Edmunds, installing a bathroom in Rougham or singing in the Barclay End. Thank you to my Grandad for backing me during my MA – and giving peace of mind and approval during a time of uncertainty. Chris, Sal and the wider Garforth clan – thank you not only for the support, but perhaps more importantly the values that you and your family stand for. It certainly made the decision to embark on an MA and PhD, and in this particular field, seem like the ‘right’ thing to do. Thanks must go to my parents – for bestowing upon me stubbornness, argumentativeness and a healthy respect for learning. All have proved vital during this research and come directly and indirectly from you both. Thank you also to my sister for nourishing these traits over the years, and commenting on the introduction. Finally, my wife Rachel and daughter Zoë for the love, unwavering belief and daily inspiration to keep plugging away.

  • Unquiet Graves Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Chas Moore 602.864.2356| [email protected] PHOENIX, Ariz. – (May 5, 2019) Western US Premiere of Unquiet Graves - film investigating collusion of the British Government with paramilitaries at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland Saturday June 8, 2019, 7PM Irish Cultural Center 1106 N. Central Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85004 The Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library are excited to announce the Western United States Premiere of Unquiet Graves the latest film written and directed by award-winning Belfast filmmaker Seán Murray. Heartbreaking perspectives from the families of victims, chilling reconstructions, and a jaw- dropping interview with a whistleblower bring to the big screen the story of the Glenanne Gang and a sectarian killing spree that claimed the lives of over 120 innocent civilians during the 1970s. In painstaking detail, Murray details how members of the Northern Ireland police force and the largest British Army regiment, the Ulster Defense Regiment, was centrally involved in the murder of innocent people, the vast majority of them Catholic, in Counties Armagh and Tyrone and in the Irish Republic from 1972 - 1978. Among the victims of the Glenanne Gang are those murdered in the 1975 gun and bomb attack on the Miami Showband, now the subject of a major Netflix documentary, as well as 22-year-old Colm McCartney, a cousin of the late Nobel laureate, Seamus Heaney, for whom the famous poem ‘The Strand At Lough Beg’ was written. Based on Anne Cadwallader’s book, Lethal Allies and narrated by Oscar nominated actor Stephen Rae, this powerful film comes to Phoenix just weeks after the death of journalist Lyra McKee in Derry, a timely reminder of the complexities of Northern Ireland’s recent history and the fragility of its peace.

That distrust is based on constant blame passing, with the history of the Troubles replayed as control of history as well as contemporary political power. It is almost as if the absence of conflict is sufficient, rather than enabling the peace process to continue in order to embrace and promote reconciliation and mutual respect. Does it need to be like this? Clearly no. Other societies have moved beyond conflict into what is hopefully permanent peace. So can we. There are many options facing society in Northern Ireland and the borders, that will determine how we move forward and how we learn to live together in a more harmonious, integrated and shared way.

    Policing Reform in Northern Ireland: A History and Analysis of its Use in Conflict Transformation and Reconciliation By Logan Eicholzer A Thesis Submitted to the Honors College in Partial Fulfillment of the Honors Minor University of Wyoming Summer 2020 Introduction Northern Ireland has been regarded by some as one of the most conflict-ridden countries within Europe, and perhaps the world, during the late 20th century. “The Troubles,” as the most recent era of conflict has been called, lasted from 1968-1998 and the impact of the time period on Northern Irish culture can still be seen to this day. The vast majority of the conflict in the country stemmed from clashing national and religious identities, which in many ways overlapped. Protestants, which made up the majority of the population, were predominantly unionist and supported Northern Irish membership in the United Kingdom. In contrast, the Catholic minority were widely Republican and favored a united Ireland. Another major source of tension was the presence of the British Army as an occupying force and extra measure of law enforcement backing Northern Ireland’s police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). The sum of these underlying tensions led to decades of both unrest and distrust surrounding laws and governance. However, one could argue that the greatest tensions surrounded the issue of policing. In 1998, after 30 years of ongoing conflict, the British government set into motion large-scale, widespread policing reforms after the release of a 128-page reform report detailing 175 recommendations for positive change within the police force (“A New”, 1999).

After a wave of initial shock where international stock markets tumbled and the pound sterling plummeted, the situation has since stabilized; not because all is well, but because markets realized that the British government was caught flat-footed and, In This Issue… for the moment, nothing has changed; it may be one of the few occasions in history where not having a Feis Honoree plan has been beneficial.
