  • GAA Oral History Project on the Understanding That the Content Will Not Be Used in a Derogatory Manner
    REFERENCE NO. (OFFICE USE ONLY): Q1: Describe your earliest GAA memory and how you became involved in the GAA? I don't have a specific first memory as such, but I recall most of my rather large family crowding into the sitting room at home to watch matches on tv from the mid to late 80s on. As the youngest I was usually squashed into the edge of the couch. My first visit to Croke Park was for the 1990 All-Ireland semi-final when Galway beat Offaly by 1-16 to 2-7. Cork beat Antrim by 2-20 to 1-13 in the curtain raiser. That year I joined Tullamore GAA club playing hurling at first and football soon after. It seemed a logical progression as I had always shown a great interest in sport growing up. I dipped in and out of the club over the years, not that my interest or love of the games waned. I had other commitments that my parents sometimes deemed more important and I also lacked confidence as a player. Q2: Did your family have a tradition or history of GAA involvement? Yes, somewhat. My father, I am told, was a talented player in his youth until a knee injury and other commitments cut his career short. My older brothers would have dabbled in the games without any great success. None of them would have had the same obsessional interest in the games as I had or have. In later years, my second cousins, Barry and Ronan Mooney, played football for the county but I wouldn't suggest that the lineage was connected in that regard.

  • The Cultural Politics of Remembrance: Sport, Place and Memory In
    The Cultural Politics of Remembrance: Sport, Place and Memory in Belfast and Berlin Alan Bairner (Loughborough University) Introduction ‘What we see isn’t what we see but who we are’ (Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet, p. 371). According to Yael Zerubavel (1994: 118), ‘ the study of the cultural interplay of “history” and “legend” reveals the transformative character of collective memory and its susceptibility to conflicting views that turn the past into a contested arena’. Nowhere is this more apparent than in societies with particularly troubled histories and nowhere are the issues contested more vigorously than in relation to the use of space for remembrance. This article examines the cultural politics surrounding the monumentalization of social space in two such cities – Belfast and Berlin. More specifically, the article considers the ways in which sporting spaces become implicated in the politics of memory, focussing above all on the proposal to build a new ‘national’ stadium for Northern Ireland alongside an International Conflict Transformation Centre on the site previously occupied by HM Prison Maze (or Long Kesh as it was known by its inmates) on the outskirts of Belfast. The article argues that, long after physical conflict is over, remembrance and the spaces used to construct and reproduce collective memory continue to be contested. 1 ‘Space and place’, according to Yi-Fu Tuan (1977: 3), ‘are basic components of the lived world; we take them for granted’. That said, space is only natural in part for, as Henri Lefebvre (1991: 77) observes, ‘social space contains a great diversity of objects, both natural and social, including the networks and pathways which facilitate the exchange of material things and information’.

  • THE PRESERVATION of CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH the GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION in FINLAND a Case Study of Helsinki Harps GAA
    THE PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH THE GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IN FINLAND A Case Study of Helsinki Harps GAA Brian Jordan University of Jyväskylä Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences Social Sciences of Sport Master’s Thesis Spring 2018 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences Social Sciences of Sport JORDAN, BRIAN The Preservation of Cultural Identity Through the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Finland. Case Study of Helsinki Harps GAA. ABSTRACT Master´s Thesis, pages 60 Spring 2018 There has always been a huge number of Irish emigrating and recently there has been a number of Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) clubs founded throughout the world. This is not a new phenomenon, however the organisation’s growth in Eastern and mainland Europe is. This paper deals with the GAA in Finland and in particular Helsinki, due to the little research on this subject. The aim of this research is to determine if the Gaelic games can be used as a tool for preserving cultural identity for Irish immigrants. Also, what is the significance of the GAA abroad, and what is the connection between Irish national identity and the GAA. This research is valuable for GAA clubs in Ireland and abroad, sociologists, and emigrants abroad looking to preserve their cultural identity The research is guided by the qualitative case study research design. The data was collected by conducting five semi-structured interviews with people with deep and significant insights in Gaelic football in Helsinki, Finland. The interviewees were males aged 29 to 42 years old who are currently living in Helsinki, have done so for at least four years and are current members of the Helsinki Harps GAA club.
