  • 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.

My two supervisors, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford and Barbara Harlow, introduced me to much of the literature and many of the ideas that make up this project. Their direction throughout the process was invaluable: they have been, and continue to be, inspirational teachers, scholars and individuals. Kamran Ali brought both academic rigor and a sense of humor to the defense as he pushed the manuscript beyond its boundaries. Ann Cvetkovich translated her fresh perspective into comments on new directions for the project and Ian Hancock was constantly generous with his resources and unique knowledge of the Irish Traveller community. Thanks too to my graduate school colleagues, who provided constructive feedback and moral support at every step, and who introduced me to academic areas outside of my own, especially Miriam Murtuza, Miriam Schacht, Veronica House, George Waddington, Neelum Wadhwani, Lynn Makau, Jeanette Herman, Ellen Crowell and Lee Rumbarger.

  • {PDF EPUB} Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle Writing Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle Writing Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha. I started writing Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha in February 1991, a few weeks after the birth of my first child. I'd finished The Van, my third novel, the previous November and I remember being told, more than once, that it was the last book I'd write for a long time, until after the baby, and the other babies, had been fattened and educated. They were joking - I think - the friends who announced my retirement. But it worried me. I was a teacher, and now I was a father. But the other definition I'd only been getting the hang of, novelist, was being nudged aside, becoming a hobby or a memory. So, I started Paddy Clarke to prove to myself that I could - that it was permitted. That there was still room in my life for writing. I don't really remember why I decided to write about a 10-year-old boy, or about that boy in 1968 - I don't remember the decisions. I was 10 in 1968, as is Paddy, and I do remember that I was thinking a lot about my childhood, possibly anticipating my son's future. My parents still lived in the house I'd grown up in. The school I taught in and the surrounding houses had been the fields and building sites that Paddy Clarke plays in. I was aware that my past was very near. But I don't recall a decision.

  • Irish Movies for Children: Darby O'gill and the Little People Early
    Irish Movies For Children: Darby O’Gill and the Little People Early movie for Sean Connery and made by Walt Disney. Small children sometimes worry about the Banshee. The Secrete of Roan Inish Into the West A bit more mature but still for kids The Troubles: The Informer A John Ford movie made in 1935. It has many of the John Ford (Feeny) cast members except for John Wayne. Odd Man Out Made in 1947 with James Mason in the IRA Shake Hands with the Devil James Cagney linked to the IRA in 1920. Most Cagney movies have some Irish link, particularly if he is with Pat O’Brien. Michael Collins A relatively accurate portrayal of Collins and DeValera but the romance is cumbersome. The Wind that Shakes the Barley A grim portrayal of the War of Independence (1918-22) outside of Dublin. Bloody Sunday A fairly accurate portrayal of Derry (Londonderry) in 1971. Hidden Agenda Speculation of Margaret Thatcher’s shoot to kill policy. Some Mother’s Son Helen Mirren in a portrayal of the “hunger strikes.” In the Name of the Father Daniel Day-Lewis does a remarkable performance of Gerry Conlon who spent 16 years in prison. The prison that is filmed is Kilmainham, built in 1796 and virtually every Irish patriot from 1798 to 1922 spent time there. It is now a museum.

By many accounts, there has been a Gaeilge renaissance underway in recent times. The number of Gaeilge-medium primary and secondary schools (Gaelscoileanna) has grown throughout the 1990s and into the twenty-first century, the year 2003 saw the passage of the Official Languages Act (laying the groundwork to assure all public services would be made available in Gaeilge as well as English), and as of January 2007 Gaeilge has become a working language of the European Union.
