I am extremely grateful to my supervisor, Professor Francesco Giacobelli, for his continual support and advice throughout this work. Professor Giacobelli’s wisdom, sense of humour and kindness never ceased to impress and educate me. Without him this project could not have been completed. I would also like to thank Professor Adone Brandalise, my co-supervisor, for all his guidance and advice in the project. Professor Brandalise’s enthusiasm inspired me to undertake further studies in the course of ‘Teoria della Letteratura’. I am extremely grateful to the professors and the staff at the University of Padova for all their help. I would like to extend my appreciation to all the staff and students at the Department of Languages, to the Maldura and to all the libraries of the University of Padova that gave me the possibility to find a great number of material for my dissertation. Furthermore, I could not have had so many information about Joyce without the help of the University of Leeds, where I spent one year as an Erasmus student two years ago and with which I am still in contact. The portal of Leeds, the richness of books and journals online have been an essential resource for me. It is a pleasure for me to thank above all my boyfriend Nicola, with whom I will go back to Dublin to follow the Dubliners’ path. Certainly I cannot forget my good friends and my football team for their encouragement, humour, home-made dinners and for their emails during a time when I really needed it most. I would also like to thank Pierluigi Menato, my Director of the magazine ‘Il Santo dei Miracoli’ of Padova. Thanks to him I have had the chance to write in a popular magazine since I was 16 years old. He trusted me and he fulfilled my dream of writing. iii ABBREVIATIONS D = Dubliners All references used in this study are from: JOYCE, JAMES, Dubliners, J. JOHNSON, ed., Oxford, Oxford World’s Classics, 2000. iv INTRODUCTION I want to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city one day suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book.1 Sackville Street c.1890-1910.2 The book of stone, so solid and so durable, would give way to the book of paper, even more solid and more durable.3 When you remember that Dublin has been a capital for thousands of years, that it is the ‘second’ city of the British Empire, that it is nearly three times as big as Venice it seems strange that no artist has given it to the world.4 1 F.

    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Spiritual Paralysis and Epiphany: James Joyce's “Eveline”
    Gaziantep Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi (http://sbe.gantep.edu.tr) 2012 11(2):587 -600 ISSN: 1303-0094 Spiritual Paralysis and Epiphany: James Joyce’s “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” “James Joyce’un ‘Eveline’ ve ‘The Boarding House’ adlı Hikayelerindeki Ruhsal Çöküntü ve Epifani” Zennure Köseman Inönü University Abstract This article intends to highlight James Joyce’s ironical outlook for the existence of epiphanies in women’s lives to be released from their spiritual paralysis and stagnation as indicated in “Eveline” (1904) and “The Boarding House” (1906) in Dubliners. In “Eveline” and “The Boarding House,” Joyce portrays women who are in a struggle for setting aside the inequalities and miseries of their social environment through their representative wish for emancipation in their lonely and alienated state of minds. Trapped in a web of social expectations and constraints, women intend to escape from the strict patriarchal society of Dublin in these short stories. Structured and controlled by the issue of femininity, James Joyce writes about the effects of the Irish society on female adolescents. “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” offer two portrayals of women who are enclosed by the dominance of the rigid patriarchal society which ends up the need for emancipation from social rigid rules. In these stories, however, the women characters portray a continuation of the choice of their domestic female roles, i.e., their struggle for emancipation turns out to be useless. "Eveline" is the story of a young teenager who faces a dilemma where she has to choose either she has to live with her father or escape with his boyfriend.

  • The Boarding House'
    The Literary Semiotics of Verbal Irony: The Example of Joyce's 'The Boarding House' LINDA HUTCHEON McMaster University SHARON A. BUTLER Goldsmiths' College In classical rhetoric, irony figured, along with metaphor, metonymy and syneedoche, as one of the four principal tropes. However, the historical fate of irony in English literary criticism since then has been a bizarre one. In English (and also German) speaking nations in particular, its primary dictionary meaning (a figure of speech in which the intended meaning is the opposite of that expressed by the words used) became transferred to that figurative sense in which one speaks of cosmic irony, the irony of fate - in other words, to an attitude of the modern mind as it interprets man's role in the universe. Irony then became the domain of the philosopher (Kierkegaard), the psychoanalyst (Freud's studies on jokes), or the ideologue for, like parody, irony can be seen as an 'elitist' form of literature. Lately, however, things have been changing. In the last ten years there have been a number of extended attempts to reconcile irony as a formal mode of literary discourse with irony as a world view: witness Wayne Booth's 1974 The Rhetoric of Irony, following D. Muecke's The Compass of Irony (1969). As recently as December 1980 the Modern Language Association of America devoted a session of its convention to the function of literary irony, signaling perhaps a reappropriation of the trope by modern English criticism. In semiotics too, the revaluation of irony has begun. There have been special issues on this topic of both Poetique (No.

Zoller, Committee Chair We have read this Thesis and recommend its acceptance: ____________________________________ Christopher K. Brooks, Committee Member ____________________________________ Wilson Baldridge, Committee Member ii The Roman Catholic Church was an important and prominent aspect of Irish life in the early twentieth century. Where most of Western Europe had become secularized during the nineteenth century, Ireland remained steadfast in its faith, be it Roman Catholic or Protestant. However, at the time, more than ninety percent of the Irish population was Roman Catholic with the numbers of Protestants belonging to the Church of Ireland or Presbyterian and Methodist Churches falling from eight percent in the second half of the nineteenth century to less than three percent in 1981 (Inglis 63). As a result of the growth of the Roman Catholic Church, much of Irish politics and society was infused with starkly Catholic tones—so much that individual citizens and the nation as a whole began to understand their inherent identity through their association with the Roman Catholic faith (59).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Haas: Music in Dubliners Music in Dubliners by ROB ERTHAAS AM ES JOY e E was a musician before he ever became a writer. 1 He learned music as a child~ perfonned it for his family, friends~ and the public as a young Jman, and loved the arthis whole life long. The books ofHodgart and Worthington and of Bowen have traced how deeply and pervasively its role is felt throughout Joyce's fiction. 2 The great novels ofhis maturity, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. contain more than a thousand musical episodes, incidents, and allusions. If Joyce's early fiction has less than this profusion~ it is perhaps simply because at the time he was not yet so bold an experimenter in literary style. The early works were~ nevertheless, produced by a man who was actively studying music, who was near his peak as a musical performer, and who still at times contemplated making music his life ~s career. When Joyce introduces music in his writing~ it is with the authority and significance ofan expert; and it is surely worth OUf while as readers to attend to it. In the present essay I would like to focus on the music inJoyce's early volume ofshort stories, Dubliners.
