Beltane or Beltaine is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on May 1, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In Irish the name for the festival day is Lá Bealtaine, in Scottish Gaelic Là Bealltainn, and in Manx Gaelic Laa Boaltinn/Boaldyn. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh – and is similar to the Welsh Calan Mai.

    From the Mill to the Hill: Race, Gender, and Nation in the Making of a French-Canadian Community in Maillardville, Bc, 1909-1939

    FROM THE MILL TO THE HILL: RACE, GENDER, AND NATION IN THE MAKING OF A FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN MAILLARDVILLE, BC, 1909-1939 by Genevieve Lapointe B.A., Universite Laval, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Genevieve Lapointe, 2007 ABSTRACT This study looks at the making of a French-Canadian community in Maillardville, British Columbia, between 1909 and 1939. Drawing on oral history transcripts, as well as textual and visual documents, From the Mill to the Hill explores how complicated and contested relations of race, class, gender, and sexuality intertwined to constitute a French-Canadian identity and community in Maillardville prior to the Second World War. Using critical discourse analysis as methodology, this study examines the narratives of 23 men and women who were interviewed in the early 1970s and lived in Maillardville in the period preceding that war. Newspaper articles, city council minutes, company records, church records, as well as historical photographs culled from various archives and a local museum, also serve as primary documents. From the Mill to the Hill argues that a French-Canadian identity and community was constructed in Maillardville between 1909 and 1939 through the racialization of bodies and spaces. Narratives about the myth of the frontier, the opposite "other," and the racialization of the space in and around the company town of Fraser Mills illustrate how identity construction operated within a gendered and racialized framework. Secondly, this study excavates the fragile "whiteness" of French Canadians as both colonizers and colonized in British Columbia.

  • Northern Irish Elegy

    Northern Irish Elegy

    Northern Irish Elegy Naomi Marklew Thesis submitted for degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of English Studies Durham University 2011 Abstract This thesis proposes that Northern Irish elegy is a distinctive genre of contemporary poetry, which has developed during the years of the Troubles, and has continued to be adapted and defined during the current peace process. It argues that the practice of writing elegy for the losses of the Troubles has established a poetic mode in which Northern Irish poets have continued to work through losses of a more universal kind. This thesis explores the contention that elegy has a clear social and political function, providing a way in which to explore some of the losses experienced by a community over the past half-century, and helping to suggest ideas of consolation. Part one focuses on three first generation Northern Irish elegists: Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley and Derek Mahon. Heaney is considered in a chapter which takes in a poetic career, through which might be traced the development of Northern Irish elegy. Following this are two highly focused studies of the elegies of Longley and Mahon. The place of artifice in elegy is considered in relation to Longley's Troubles elegies, while Mahon’s irony is discussed in relation to his elegiac need for community. Part two looks at a second generation, represented by Ciaran Carson and Paul Muldoon. Carson's elegies for Belfast are read in a discussion of the destruction and reconstruction that occurs during the process of remembering. This study explores the idea that elegies might also be written for places and temporal spaces.

Mathews © UCDscholarcast UCDscholarcast 1 Bill Whelan, Globalising Irish Music Bill Whelan Globalising Irish Music One of the duties an author, performer or composer undertakes when travelling around the world in advance or in the wake of a production is to face the media. Such has been my experience with Riverdance. Sitting in stuffed rooms in Sydney or Seattle or stretched on soft settees in say, Stockholm, I have been asked an amazing array of questions. Over the thirteen years of the life of this show I have been rendered mute by questions such as (in London): ‘how many pairs of tights does Riverdance go through in an evening?’. That one gave me some pause for thought, but not as much as the question I was asked in Tokyo when we first went there. Through an interpreter a Japanese journalist probingly inquired if I felt that the album Ó Ríada sa Gaiety was an important influence in changing the course of Irish traditional music. These kinds of questions have demonstrated to me over the years the variety of responses that people have to what was actually the same musical or theatrical experience. To progress a bit further on the theme of artistic intent versus audience response—in France I recall a press conference where a few journalists were pushing me to interpret Riverdance as an Irish Nationalistic cultural response to years of British domination.

Named for Father Edmond Maillard, Maillardville is the City’s most historic neighbourhood established over 100 years ago when French-Canadian settlers came to work at the Canadian Western Lumber Company sawmill (at Fraser Mills).
