Preface In recent decades a range of new approaches to the study and interpretation of the cultural landscape have been adopted by cultural, historical and urban geographers, as well as by specialists from disciplines such as archaeology, sociology and architecture. More overtly interpretative and theoretically nuanced approaches to the study of the cultural landscape have evolved as a consequence of the ‘cultural turn’ across the social sciences and the humanities, resulting in close readings of the signs, symbols and sites of heritage that comprise the landscapes in which we live. Much more than a transparent window through which reality may be unproblematically viewed, the cultural landscape is now conceived of as an emblematic site of representation, a locus of both power and resistance, and a key element in the heritage process. Heritage, Memory and the Politics of Identity: New Perspectives on the Cultural Landscape explores the overlapping and oftentimes complex relationships between identity, memory, heritage and the cultural landscape. The result of a conference jointly organised by the Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages (University of Ulster) and the Department of Geography (now the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy) (UCD), in December 2002, the contributions in this volume interrogate cultural landscapes in both historical and contemporary contexts. The authors are drawn from a range of disciplines including geography, archaeology, and heritage studies and, in common with the other volumes in this series on Heritage, Culture and Identity, the geographical scope is global. In Part I of the book, ‘Landscape, Memory and Identity’, the contributors focus on the monumental and performative dimensions of memory. Case study examples from Ireland, England, Scotland and the US foreground the significance of the past in the contemporary construction of identity narratives and draw particular attention to the powerful role of monuments and parades as sites of cultural heritage. Tadhg O’Keeffe sets the tone for this part, with a wide-ranging essay that charts the development of the landscape-identity nexus and the politics of collective memory. These themes recur in different guises in the chapters that follow. Iain Robertson and Tim Hall engage with the discourse of heritage in the context of the recent memorialization of acts of land seizure in the Scottish Highlands. Their close reading of the commemoration of conflict on Lewis addresses the intersections between identity, memory and heritage at the local level. In Joanne Maddern’s chapter the focus shifts to forms of diasporic identity construction and she explores the discursive representations of immigrant identity and heritage as they are displayed at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York. In particular, she charts the contentious debate and power struggles over memory that prevailed in relation to the erection of a monument to Annie Moore, an immigrant from Ireland and iconic figure in American immigrant culture. John Crowley’s chapter focuses on monumental landscapes and in particular upon the Preface xi ways in which the Great Irish Famine (1845–1852) has been commemorated both in Ireland and overseas.

JOHN PAUL H AND CHILDREN'S EDUCATION CHRISTOPHER TOLLEFSEN* Like many other moral and social issues, children's educa- tion can serve as a prism through which to understand the impli- cations of moral, political, and legal theory. Education, like the family, abortion, and embryonic research, capital punishment, euthanasia, and other issues, raises a number of questions, the answers to which are illustrative of a variety of moral, political, religious, and legal standpoints. So, for example, a libertarian, a political liberal, and a per- fectionist natural lawyer will all have something to say about the question of who should provide a child's education, what the content of that education should be, and what mechanisms for the provision of education, such as school vouchers, will or will not be morally and politically permissible.

  • Gerard Mannion Is to Be Congratulated for This Splendid Collection on the Papacy of John Paul II
    “Gerard Mannion is to be congratulated for this splendid collection on the papacy of John Paul II. Well-focused and insightful essays help us to understand his thoughts on philosophy, the papacy, women, the church, religious life, morality, collegiality, interreligious dialogue, and liberation theology. With authors representing a wide variety of perspectives, Mannion avoids the predictable ideological battles over the legacy of Pope John Paul; rather he captures the depth and complexity of this extraordinary figure by the balance, intelligence, and comprehensiveness of the volume. A well-planned and beautifully executed project!” —James F. Keenan, SJ Founders Professor in Theology Boston College Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts “Scenes of the charismatic John Paul II kissing the tarmac, praying with global religious leaders, addressing throngs of adoring young people, and finally dying linger in the world’s imagination. This book turns to another side of this outsized religious leader and examines his vision of the church and his theological positions. Each of these finely tuned essays show the greatness of this man by replacing the mythological account with the historical record. The straightforward, honest, expert, and yet accessible analyses situate John Paul II in his context and show both the triumphs and the ambiguities of his intellectual legacy. This masterful collection is absolutely basic reading for critically appreciating the papacy of John Paul II.” —Roger Haight, SJ Union Theological Seminary New York “The length of John Paul II’s tenure of the papacy, the complexity of his personality, and the ambivalence of his legacy make him not only a compelling subject of study, but also a challenging one.

  • Saint John Paul II (1978-2005)
    Saint John Paul II (1978-2005) His Holiness John Paul II (16 Oct. 1978-2 April 2005) was the first Slav and the first non-Italian Pope since Hadrian VI. Karol Wojtyla was born on 18 May 1920 at Wadowice, an industrial town south-west of Krakow, Poland. His father was a retired army lieutenant, to whom he became especially close since his mother died when he was still a small boy. Joining the local primary school at seven, he went at eleven to the state high school, where he proved both an outstanding pupil and a fine sportsman, keen on football, swimming, and canoeing (he was later to take up skiing); he also loved poetry, and showed a particular flair for acting. In 1938 he moved with his father to Krakow where he entered the Jagiellonian University to study Polish language and literature; as a student he was prominent in amateur dramatics, and was admired for his poems. When the Germans occupied Poland in September 1939, the university was forcibly closed down, although an underground network of studies was maintained (as well as an underground theatrical club which he and a friend organised). Thus he continued to study incognito, and also to write poetry. In winter 1940 he was given a labourer’s job in a limestone quarry at Zakrówek, outside Krakow, and in 1941 was transferred to the water- purification department of the Solway factory in Borek Falecki; these experiences were to inspire some of the more memorable of his later poems. In 1942, after his father’s death and after recovering from two near-fatal accidents, he felt the call to the priesthood, began studying theology clandestinely and after the liberation of Poland by the Russian forces in January 1945 was able to rejoin the Jagiellonian University openly.
