Ancient Celts and Their Environment in 'Earth Sea and Sky' Ancient Celts and Their Environment in 'Earth Sea and Sky' Shae Clancy This chapter looks at how the pre-Christian Celts interacted with the world around them. Their approach to daily life balanced a recognition that their survival depended on using the animals and plants around them with the knowledge that a respectful relationship with their environment was required to maintain prosperity.

  • Celts and Celticists in Howard Brenton's the Romans in Britain
    Spring 1998 69 Celts and Celticists in Howard Brenton's The Romans in Britain Meenakshi Ponnuswami The Irish Question is really the English Question, and vice- versa. The Irish are accused of never forgetting, but that is because the English never remember. The Irish are accused of endlessly repeating their past, but they are forced to do so precisely because the English have failed to learn from theirs. —Declan Kiberd Much of the controversy generated by Howard Brenton's infamous representation of British colonial history in The Romans in Britain can in retrospect be attributed to familiar political causes. As a result of right-wing indignation, ostensibly prompted by the spectacle of on-stage homosexual rape, the vigorous debate which followed the play's first performances in 1980 concentrated on questions of artistic subsidy and censorship. But it now seems evident that opposition to Brenton's new play had less to do with questions of obscenity or subsidy than with the emerging New Right's need to reshape contemporary political discourse. Brenton, who had challenged the political establishment repeatedly in his earlier plays, had The Romans produced with state subsidy, at nothing less than the National Theatre, shortly after Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister. As Richard Boon has persuasively argued, "the play became a useful stalking-horse for a number of figures, inside and outside government, who wished both to test and to reinforce the new 'moral climate' of the early eighties."1 Because critical discussion of the play has often been framed by the terms of the initial debate, little attention has been devoted during the last fifteen years to the political and methodological implications of Brenton's reworking of the history of British imperialism.

  • Gaulish Galo
    palaeoeuropeanpalaeoeuropean languages & epigraphieslanguages & | epigraphiesHispania & Gaul PALAEOHISPANICA 2020 | I.S.S.N. 1578-5386 revista sobre lenguas y culturas de la Hispania antigua DOI: 10.36707/palaeohispanica.v0i20.383 Gaulish Galo Alex Mullen University of Nottingham [email protected] Coline Ruiz Darasse Université Bordeaux Montaigne, Institut Ausonius / UMR 5607 CNRS [email protected] Abstract: Gaulish is a language in the Celtic language family, documented in Gaul (France and surrounding territories) from around the 2nd century BC and through the Roman period. It is transmitted primarily in Greek (Gallo-Greek) and Latin (Gallo-Latin) script, with a small number of Gaulish texts also attested in the Etruscan alphabet in Italy (Gallo-Etruscan) and with Gaulish names found in Iberian script. In this article we detail current knowledge of the linguistic content, context and classification of Gaulish, and consider the epigraphic corpus, naming practices, writing systems and the cultural interactions that shape this material. Finally, we discuss the future challenges for the study of Gaulish and some of the work that is underway which will drive our research in the 21st century. Keywords: Continental Celtic. Cultural contacts. Epigraphy. Gaul. Gaulish. Gallo-Greek. Gallo-Latin. Onomastics. Writing systems. Resumen: El galo es una lengua perteneciente a la familia celta, que está documentada en la Galia (Francia y los territorios adyacentes) desde aproximadamente el siglo II a. C. y a lo largo del período romano. Esta lengua se escribió principalmente en alfabeto griego (galo-griego) y latino (galo-latín), aunque también se cuenta con un pequeño número de textos en alfabeto etrusco en Italia (galo-etrusco) y de nombres galos en escritura ibérica.

  • Violence and the Sacred in Northern Ireland
    VIOLENCE AND THE SACRED IN NORTHERN IRELAND Duncan Morrow University of Ulster at Jordanstown For 25 years Northern Ireland has been a society characterized not so much by violence as by an endemic fear of violence. At a purely statistical level the risk of death as a result of political violence in Belfast was always between three and ten times less than the risk of murder in major cities of the United States. Likewise, the risk of death as the result of traffic accidents in Northern Ireland has been, on average, twice as high as the risk of death by political killing (Belfast Telegraph, 23 January 1994). Nevertheless, the tidal flow of fear about political violence, sometimes higher and sometimes lower but always present, has been the consistent fundamental backdrop to public, and often private, life. This preeminence of fear is triggered by past and present circumstances and is projected onto the vision of the future. The experience that disorder is ever close at hand has resulted in an endemic insecurity which gives rise to the increasingly conscious desire for a new order, for scapegoats and for resolution. For a considerable period of time, Northern Ireland has actively sought and made scapegoats but such actions have been ineffective in bringing about the desired resolution to the crisis. They have led instead to a continuous mimetic crisis of both temporal and spatial dimensions. To have lived in Northern Ireland is to have lived in that unresolved crisis. Liberal democracy has provided the universal transcendence of Northern Ireland's political models. Northern Ireland is physically and spiritually close to the heartland of liberal democracy: it is geographically bound by Britain and Ireland, economically linked to Western Europe, and historically tied to emigration to the United States, Canada, and the South Pacific.

  • It Just Belongs to Be! Traditional Music and Cornish Identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11Th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs to Be”
    “It Just Belongs To Be” It Just belongs to be! Traditional Music and Cornish identity London Cornish Association Rosyer Lecture 11th July 2008 Merv Davey “It Just Belongs To Be” Abstract This presentation first explores the early roots of Cornish Folk Music, what is the significance the Cornish Carol tradition and who were the musicians and dancers represented on the 16th Century bench ends at Altarnon Church. Following on from this the activities of the late early 20th century British Folk Revivalists in relation to Cornish tradition are considered together with the quite different approach taken by the Celtic revivalists in Cornwall. Lastly we will look at the ongoing traditions of today and how they reflect both the past and modern Cornish identity. “It Just Belongs To Be” Folk A genre of music derived initially from a 19th C folkoric notion of a rural cultural idyll which embraced a broader “peoples music” mindset from the 1950s to include industrial songs and an increasing body of newly composed material in “folk Style”. In the past 40 years it has been increasingly driven by commercial and artistic interests so that it is useful to distinguish the term from “tradition “It Just Belongs To Be” Tradition The active process by which a phenomena such as a tune, song or custom changes and evolves within community usage as it is transmitted from one person to the next and one generation to the next. Although influenced by popular, commercial and art culture, it is ultimately driven by the experiences, perceptions and values of a community or an individual reflecting that community “It Just Belongs To Be” Cornish Identity Identity is a sense of being defined by an individual or groups perceptions and understanding of their relationship with other individuals or groups.

  • Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh First Published November 2011, Updated to October 2016
    Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh first published November 2011, updated to October 2016 Summary Saint Jerome’s AD 386 remark that the language of ancient Galatia (around modern Ankara) resembled the language of the Treveri (around modern Trier) has been misinterpreted. The “Celts”, “Gauls” or “Galatians” mentioned by classical authors, including those who invaded Greece and Anatolia around 277 BC, were not Celtic in the modern sense of speaking a Celtic language related to Welsh and Irish, but tall, pale-skinned, hairy, warrior peoples from the north. The 150 or so words and proper names currently known from Galatian speech show little affinity with Celtic but more with Germanic. Introduction In AD 386 Saint Jerome wrote: Apart from the Greek language, which is spoken throughout the entire East, the Galatians have their own language, almost the same as the Treveri. For many people this short remark is the linchpin of a belief that ancient Celtic speech spread far outside its Atlantic-fringe homeland, reaching even into the heart of Anatolia, modern Turkey. However, we wish to challenge the idea that Galatians spoke a language that was Celtic in the modern sense of being closely related to Welsh or Irish. Galatia was the region around ancient Ancyra, modern Ankara, in the middle of Turkey. Anatolia (otherwise known as Asia Minor) has seen many civilisations come and go over the millennia. Around 8000 BC it was a cradle of agriculture and the Neolithic revolution. The whole family of Indo-European languages originated somewhere in that region. We favour the idea that they grew up around the Black Sea all the way from northern Anatolia, past the mouth of the river Danube, to southern Russia and Ukraine.

W. ROLLESTON MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC RACE CONSTABLE - LONDON [8] British edition published by Constable and Company Limited, London First published 1911 by George G. Harrap & Co., London [9] PREFACE The Past may be forgotten, but it never dies. The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people. The examination, therefore, of these elements, and the recognition, as far as possible, of the part they have actually contributed to the warp and weft of a nation's life, must be a matter of no small interest and importance to those who realise that the present is the child of the past, and the future of the present; who will not regard themselves, their kinsfolk, and their fellow-citizens as mere transitory phantoms, hurrying from darkness into darkness, but who know that, in them, a vast historic stream of national life is passing from its distant and mysterious origin towards a future which is largely conditioned by all the past wanderings of that human stream, but which is also, in no small degree, what they, by their courage, their patriotism, their knowledge, and their understanding, choose to make it.

Dahmer 1 A Lost Civilization as Great as Any Scholars traditionally associate the advancement of Western culture from antiquity to the Renaissance with the innovations of the Romans and their Mediterranean cultural predecessors, the Greeks and Etruscans, to the extent that the word "civilization" often seems synonymous with Romanization. In doing so, historians unfairly discount the cultural achievements of other Indo-European peoples who achieved civilization in their own right and contributed much to ancient and modern life.
