  • 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.

The texts which have been captured by typing or optical character recognition are processed for the purpose of lexicography. Firstly, all historical and dialectal word forms are annotated with their modern standard equivalents using software developed for this purpose. Then, using the modern standard annotations, the texts are processed using an existing finite-state morphological analyser and part-of-speech tagger. This method enables us to retain the original historical text, and at the same time have full corpus-searching capabilities using modern lemmas and inflected forms (one can also use the historical forms). It also makes use of existing NLP tools for modern Irish, and enables integration of historical and modern Irish corpora. Keywords: historical corpus, normalisation, standardisation, natural language processing, Irish, Gaeilge 1.

  • Ireland 1 Introduction1
    Ireland The Irish language, de jure the first official national language, is de facto a minority language. Existing broadcasting legislation is sprinkled with general references to the promotion of the language (and associated facets of culture). One Irish-language television station and one Irish-language radio station broadcast nationwide. Both are public service stations and maintain a steady, if minority, audience, drawn to a large extent from the Irish- language speaking areas. Their services complement the offer of Irish-language programming on the mainstream national public service broadcasting channels. In the independent broadcasting sector, some degree of Irish-language programming is provided by most radio stations, but the volume of such programming varies considerably from station to station. Various non-legal initiatives are afoot to promote the use of the Irish language in broadcasting. These include inter-agency campaigns and the recent creation of the post of Irish Language Officer by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (the statutory body with responsibility for the licensing, monitoring and development of independent broadcasting services in Ireland). Irish-language broadcasting does not suffer from any recognisable discrimination, apart from those dictated by audience levels and a shortage of funding that appears to be commensurate to that being experienced by the main public service broadcaster. As regards other languages, these have not yet been used in a prevalent manner. However, the main public service radio station has, over the past couple of years, catered for the needs and interests of the so-called “new” minorities by broadcasting a nightly programme which also includes items in foreign (minority) languages.

    Ad Hoc Committee Bill of Rights on the 15th April, 10am Conradh na Gaeilge Before I begin this discussion, I should mention, and I'm conscious of my colleagues and fellow activists who have been here in previous weeks giving evidence across a broad range of issues from social housing, the bill of rights, the LGBT community, the women's sector, and others. We are privileged to work alongside them as a part of the equality coalition and support the initiative for a rights-based return to the institutions and in the introduction of a Bill of Rights here in the north. As you know, the focus of our talk, discussion, and submission today relate to the question of language rights here in the context of a bill of rights. In the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, a new era of equality was promised for the Irish language in the north. Specific and strong commitments were given regarding the promotion and protection of the Irish language, including: In the context of active consideration currently being given to the UK signing the Council of Europe Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, the British Government will in particular in relation to the Irish language, where appropriate and where people so desire it: • take resolute action to promote the language; • facilitate and encourage the use of the language in speech and writing in public and private life where there is appropriate demand; • seek to remove, where possible, restrictions which would discourage or work against the maintenance or development of the language; • make provision for liaising

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely.
