  • Connolly in America: the Political Development of an Irish Marxist As Seen from His Writings and His Involvement with the American Socialist Movement 1902-1910
    THESIS UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE JAMES CONNOLLY IN AMERICA: THE POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT OF AN IRISH MARXIST AS SEEN FROM HIS WRITINGS AND HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE AMERICAN SOCIALIST MOVEMENT 1902-1910 by MICHEÁL MANUS O’RIORDAN MASTER OF ARTS 1971 A 2009 INTRODUCTION I have been most fortunate in life as regards both educational opportunities and career choice. I say this as a preface to explaining how I came to be a student in the USA 1969-1971, and a student not only of the history of James Connolly’s life in the New World a century ago, but also a witness of, and participant in, some of the most momentous developments in the living history of the US anti-war and social and labour movements of 40 years ago. I was born on Dublin’s South Circular Road in May 1949, to Kay Keohane [1910-1991] and her husband Micheál O’Riordan [1917- 2006], an ITGWU bus worker. This was an era that preceded not only free third-level education, but free second-level education as well. My primary education was received in St. Kevin’s National School, Grantham Street, and Christian Brothers’ School, Synge Street. Driven to study - and not always willingly! - by a mother who passionately believed in the principle expounded by Young Irelander Thomas Davis – “Educate, that you may be free!” - I was fortunate enough to achieve exam success in 1961 in winning a Dublin Corporation secondary school scholarship. By covering my fees, this enabled me to continue with second-level education at Synge Street. In my 1966 Leaving Certificate exams I was also fortunate to win a Dublin Corporation university scholarship.

  • Curating Archives, Archiving Curating
    Curating Archives, Archiving Curating Georgia, Nayia Yiakoumaki Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Art Goldsmiths, University of London Octo ber 2009 The work presented in the thesis is the candidate's own. Abstract This thesis investigates the concept of archives and their role as a source for curatorial work practice. It starts with an examination of Jacques Derrida's concept of the archive in order to claim that every reading of the archive alters the archive. It examines the curating of archive material and compares it to a historiographical operation upon the archive itself. Moreover, it describes curating from the archive as a process concomitant with the three main constituents of Paul Ricoeur's historiography: 'The Documentary Phase', 'Explanation/ Understanding' and 'The Historian's Representation', as developed in Memory, History, Forgetting (2004). From the conceptualisation of this tripartite process the thesis proceeds by arguing that the curatorial practice on archives is an expansive gesture that opens their contents to numerous interpretations. The Whitechapel Gallery Archive is introduced as the case study here. More specifically, the thesis analyses archival material pertaining to Pablo Picasso and the painting Guernica, which was exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1939. The series of events to which this archive material refer, have been reactivated through artist Goshka Macuga's 2009 commission The Nature of the Beast at the Whitechapel. The thesis proves that a curator working through archival material permanently alters the constitution of the archive, as well as the subsequent interpretations of its material. Moreover, it is argued that the curator's intervention in the archive should be re-deposited within it as a means for the archive's potential expansion.

  • 'Jewish Communists' Or 'Communist Jews'?
    ‘Jewish Communists’ or ‘Communist Jews’? The Communist Party of Great Britain and British Jews in the 1930s. Stephen M. Cullen British Jews and Communism – slow recognition The Jewish contribution to the history of the CPGB was out of all proportion to the size of the Jewish community in Britain1, yet that contribution has only slowly been given recognition. Early accounts of the Party, focusing, as one would expect, on class rather than ethnicity, rarely mention the Jewish involvement. For example, Fred Copeman’s Reason in Revolt (1948) which is largely built around his service with the International Brigades makes no mention of the high proportion of Brigaders who were Jewish2. Two exceptions to this can be found in Phil Piratin’s Our Flag Stays Red (1948), and Douglas Hyde’s I Believed (1951). Piratin’s account of the CPGB’s successes in mobilising Stepney rent payers in the Stepney Tenants’ Defence League (STDL) is, in effect, an account of the mobilisation of a significant section of the Jewish community in that borough, although this is implied rather than clearly stated. Hyde was clearer about the CPGB’s focus on the Jewish community in the context of anti-fascism: ‘Quite deliberately we used the Jewish fear of fascism and anti-semitism for our own political ends. It made the Stepney branch our strongest, with over 1,000 members. It was the Party’s greatest asset in Jewish areas all over Britain’3. Yet these were minor acknowledgements of the importance of Jewish support for the Party. Academic accounts of the relationship between Jews and the CPGB were not much more forthcoming either.
