ISSN 1699-311X. 240 Introduction Maureen O’Connor The vivacity and resilience of Irish culture have been both challenged and proven by the year 2020, smack in the middle of which I was asked to take over the role of annual international Irish Studies chronicler. The resilience of hard-pressed academics thrown into unprecedented circumstances was also admirable, and I am extremely grateful to those kind souls who agreed to review a sample of some recent publications in Irish Studies for this issue, a sample size I hope to expand the next time around when it is greatly to be hoped we will no longer be working under emergency conditions. The global coronavirus pandemic, which necessitated national lockdowns beginning in March and has now killed more than two million people worldwide, meant that several annual conferences, usually held in the spring and summer, were cancelled or postponed, including our own AEDEI. A year without AEDEI seems like a year best forgotten, even passed over in silence, but there were some truly fascinating, innovative developments in the virtual exchange of ideas and celebration of culture, as we will see. Other large, international Irish Studies conferences that cancelled or postponed their annual meetings included ACIS (American Conference for Irish Studies), IASIL (International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures), EFACIS (European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies), SSNCI (Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland), and SOFEIR (French Society for Irish Studies); only BAIS (British Association of Irish Studies) managed the enormous task of transforming a physical Irish Studies conference, on the subject of “Global Irish”, into a virtual meeting, mid-stride, as it were, holding their annual conference online in May of 2020. The organisers used the unusual circumstances to extend the sessions, keynotes, and launches – including the launch of the six-volume series, Irish Literature in Transition, the momentously important publication from Cambridge University Press – over most of the month, rather than concentrating events in a few days. This flexible and open structure made last-minute contributions and worldwide participation possible in an unprecedented way, signalling one vision of the future for the academic conference. As disappointing, if not devastating, as these mass cancellations appeared at first, a lively online series of symposia, lecture series, webinars, and book launches, as well as podcasts, began to offer significant compensation for our losses (though nothing can take the place of the hugs, gossip, and laughs of an in-person gathering). To name just a few of the academic series that provided food for thought, inspiration, and even a form of camaraderie: EFACIS broadcast a podcast series, the “Irish Itinerary”; SOFEIR ran a webinar series, as did Irish College Leuven; Queens University Belfast Irish Studies held a virtual seminar series online, as did the New York City consortium of Irish Studies Scholars, Students and Artists, as well as Boston College’s Irish Institute, part of the college’s “Irish Influence” initiative. This last series features not only academics and writers, but also actors, journalists, filmmakers, musicians, and dancers, and it continues every Friday into 2021. The Trinity Long Hub and Glucksman House New York continued to host events and talks online, as has the Moore Institute at National University of Ireland, Galway. In January of last year, Galway was preparing to fulfil its role as the 2020 European Capital of Culture, featuring a programme of activities to which the university was poised to contribute significantly. The February opening ceremonies were cancelled due to severe weather conditions, an augury of much more dire circumstances that would mean the cancellation of nearly all plans for the year-long celebration, though there were art installations around the city in addition to some online performances. The Moore Institute carried on as well, and hosted a number of events and talks as well as their own webinar series that discussed the COVID-19 crisis from numerous disciplinary approaches. They also supported and hosted Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 238-283. ISSN 1699-311X. 241 other events, conferences, and projects, such as the most recent presentations for the “Aging Masculinities in Irish Literature and Culture” project. The memorable year 2020 is, of course, part of the decade of commemorations, which continued to be observed in virtual form by, for example, the Collins Barracks Museum in Dublin, and an interdisciplinary online conference at University College Cork in October marking the “Centenary of Terence MacSwiney and the Cork Men’s Gaol Hunger Strike”. The Century Ireland website, as always, features podcasts, virtual museum tours, video talks, and selected archival material. This online resource became an especially valuable one during lockdown. The ongoing commemoration of the Great Hunger of over 150 years ago has been carried on by the Strokestown Park and Famine Museum, which in 2020 conducted virtual Famine Walks and offered a virtual series of “Famine Voices”. Museums around Ireland made the switch to online access, when museums, galleries, libraries, and cinemas were initially closed to the public. The National Gallery site hosts websites and projects, in addition to making their exhibits accessible online. The National Gallery hosts the ESB Centre for the Study of Irish, a public archive of the arts in Ireland, which most recently promoted its oral history project, specifically its recordings of conversations with Irish artists. The Glucksman Gallery in University College Cork has maintained an online art-project-a-day challenge with #CreativityAtHome throughout the rolling lockdowns. The National College of Art and Design hosted an exhibit specifically designed for virtual engagement, “Tongue the Sun”, by artist

Civil Service Renewal Plan The Civil Service Renewal Plan, launched last Thursday 30 October by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, has announced a number of reforms of the civil service. Among the announced reforms is the streamlining of disciplinary procedures to make it easier to terminate under-performing civil servants. An independent expert group chaired by Professor Kevin Rafter from DCU made two key recommendations for civil service reform. One of the recommendations taken up and included in the Civil Service Renewal Plan is the establishment of an accountability board to enable oversight over all government departments and senior management. This board will be chaired by the Taoiseach. The expert panel’s recommendation for a head of the civil service to be appointed has been turned down by the Government. Furthermore, open recruitment for senior management positions in the civil service has been extended for all positions for Assistant Principals and above. The Plan also aims to open up the civil service to younger generations.

  • Competing Traditions: the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Irish Literatures Between Realism and Experimentation Katarzyna Ojrzyńska and Wit Pietrzak ______HJEAS
    Competing Traditions: The Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Irish Literatures between Realism and Experimentation Katarzyna Ojrzyńska and Wit Pietrzak ________________________________________________________HJEAS It will barely be an overstatement to claim that the Irish novel arrived on the international scene in the aura of experiment, as Ulysses (1922), after initially slogging in the doldrums of the Western literary consciousness, quickly came to be mentioned in the same breath with Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1924), Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (1913), and Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain (1924). The fact that Joyce faced enormous difficulty publishing each of his novels seems testament to the trenchant tastes of Ireland’s literati but also shows that realism was and, to a large degree, is the mode of choice among Irish audiences. The case with poetry is largely similar, as W. B. Yeats quickly realized. It was his early, broadly Romantic poetry that popular audiences cherished; so much so that by the early 1920s he declined to read his all-time favorite “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” (Foster 418), which was a staple of Poems 1889-1908, a collection that remained his most reissued and remunerative volume throughout his life. Yeats, however, is now best known for his post-1908 work, especially for the myth-infused poems of The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933). For a literature born in the fires of formal experiment, the Irish novel, more so perhaps than poetry, was dominated in the years after World War II by realism and formal conservatism. Writing of contemporary Irish fiction, Eve Patten has suggested that “[f]or the most part, it remained formally conservative: beyond a prevalent social realism, its chief stylistic hallmark was a neo-Gothic idiom which signalled a haunted or traumatised Irish society and deep-seated disturbances in the national psyche” (259).

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    The Interaction of Language Policy, Minority Languages and New Media A Study of the Facebook Translations Application Aoife Lenihan PhD Dissertation University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr Helen Kelly-Holmes School of Languages, Literature, Culture and Communication Submitted to the University of Limerick, November 2013 ii ABSTRACT The site of this research is new media, primarily the WWW. Language policy has traditionally been seen as the work of governments and their institutions and not related to domains such as Web 2.0. The primary research question of this thesis is to consider: what impact do new media have on language policy, in particular with regard to minority languages? It focuses on both the ‘top-down’ language policy and the increasingly ‘bottom-up’ language practices in new media. It is situated within the field of ‘new media sociolinguistics’ and aspires to move the focus of this area from the issue of linguistic diversity to the issue of language policy. What differentiates it from previous work is its attempt to link practice on the WWW with language policy. The method of investigation is virtual ethnography, which involves looking at computer- mediated communication (CMC) in online networks and communities, analysing the language content and observing the online interactions at the level of the users. It is used here to observe and investigate the de facto language policies on Facebook. It was the potential use of the community driven Facebook Translations app as a mechanism of language policy by ‘bottom-up’ interests, which first drew the researcher’s attention. In terms of language policy, Facebook, the Irish language community and their members act in both a ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ sense depending on the context of the situation, and thus the current research demonstrates that the assumed dichotomy of ‘bottom-up’ forces opposed to ‘top-down’ forces is not always in evidence.

  • The Early Work of Austin Clarke the Early Work (1916-1938)
    THE EARLY WORK OF AUSTIN CLARKE THE EARLY WORK (1916-1938) OF AUSTIN CLARKE By MAURICE RIORDAN, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University March 1981 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1981) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Early Work (1916-1938) of Austin Clarke. AUTHOR: Maurice Riordan, B.A. (Cork) M.A. (Cork) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Brian John NUMBER OF Fll.GES: vi, 275 ii ABSTRACT Austin Clarke dedicated himself to the ideal of an independent Irish literature in English. This dedication had two principal consequences for his work: he developed a poetic style appropriate to expressing the Irish imagination, and he found inspiration in the matter of Ireland, in hex mythology and folklore, in her literary, artistic and __ religious traditions, and in the daily life of modern Ireland. The basic orientation of Clarke's work determines the twofold purpose of this thesis. It seeks to provide a clarifying background for his poetry, drama and fiction up to 1938; and, in examining the texts in their prope.r context, it seeks to reveal the permanent and universal aspects of his achievement. Clarke's early development in response to the shaping influence of the Irish Revival is examined in the opening chapter. His initial interest in heroic saga is considered, but, principally, the focus is on his effort to establish stylistic links between the Anglo-Irish and the Gaelic traditions, an effort that is seen to culminate with his adoption of assonantal verse as an essential element in his poetic technique.
