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.

Deconstructing Binaries in James Joyce’s "The Dead" Author: Hamid Reza Ghadiri Supervisor: Elin Holmsten English D-level 2007 Högskolan Dalarna 791 88 Falun Sweden Tel 023-77 80 00 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Gabriel’s Failure as a Man and Gentleman 4 Julia Morkan, Forgotten Artist 7 The Nature of the Dispute between Gabriel and Molly Ivors 9 Gabriel versus Mr. Browne 14 Gabriel Conroy versus Michael Furey 17 Conclusion 21 Works Cited 23 1 Introduction James Joyce’s “The Dead” portrays a man’s self-realization of his spiritual paralysis. The protagonist Gabriel Conroy’s coming to awareness marks the climax of “The Dead.” The story may seem simple on the surface, but it is not as simple as it seems. The story is divided into three sections and Joyce deconstructs various binaries in each section of the story. In the first part of the story Joyce dismantles the binary opposition of male/female. In the second part, he deconstructs binaries of modern/traditional and English/Irish. The third part of story is the most important part and Joyce dismantles the binary opposition of present/past by portraying Gabriel’s epiphany. His self-realization makes all the binaries deconstruct in the story. Gabriel makes three mistakes, one in each section of the story: first, Gabriel’s failure as a gentleman as Lily, the caretaker’s daughter, refuses his tip; second, Gabriel’s failure 1 as an Irishman as Miss Ivors calls him “west Briton”P0F P (240); third, Gabriel’s failure as a man or a husband when his wife, Gretta, reveals Michael Furey’s true love.

Three Notes on Joyce
Three Notes on Joyce Tong-gyu Hwang The Snow of "The Dead" There are two radically different ways of reading "The Dead", one as the coda of a novel called Dubliners and the other as an independent short story. Either way, "The Dead" culminates in the protagonist's timeless moment of vision. The meaning of the vision represented by one camp, however, sharply differs from that represented by the other. The coda camp tends to interpret the final snow vision as Gabriel's self-identification with the dead. The fourteen epiphanies of paralysis or perversion which preceded Gabriel's make it hard to interpret it otherwise. Meanwhile the independent story camp asserts that the story is the story of maturation and that the snow vision is a rebirth experience. "The Dead" is a new inclusion to the already organized manuscript book of 1906, which may demand a new approach. Before we decide which interpretaion is more relevant, or which reading is preferable, we should follow the chain of events closely. Gabriel, a self-complacent Dublin middle class intellectual, attends the annual dance party of his old aunts. It is Christmas time, a time of celebration of the birth. But the opening sentence: Lily, the caretaker's daughter, was literally run off her feet. together with the succinct title strikes us with strong connotations of death. Lily is the flower of funeral as well as purity, and the girl who carries the name is run off her feet literally, not figuratively. Gabriel's first short speech has a word "mortal" in it, and Gabriel's wife Gretta is 3 9 greeted by Kate and Julia with "you must be perished alive." Gabriel's joke to Lily has hitherto been interpreted as a case of insincerity and snobbery which is duly retorted.

The Inwardness of James Joyce's Story, “The Dead”
Readings - a journal for scholars and readers Volume 2 (2016), Issue 1 The Inwardness of James Joyce’s Story, “The Dead” Keith Oatley, University of Toronto, Maja Djikic, University of Toronto, and Raymond Mar, York University, Toronto James Joyce’s most famous short story, ”The Dead,” works in layers. In one of these we identify with the story’s protagonist, Gabriel Conroy, so that we ourselves become metaphorical: we remain ourselves but also become Gabriel. In another layer Joyce offers an extended metaphor in which we are prompted to wonder whether understandings of others whom we might meet at a party have a relation to being intimate with a spouse. Although our emotions are empathetically related to Gabriel’s they are our own, as we take on his concerns and plans in the circumstances he enters. With Joyce’s modernist story, we feel moved, and can start to know ourselves better while, at the same time, we may come to understand others and our predicament as human beings. “The Dead” brilliantly illustrates the potential of literary engagement to produce changes in conceptions of ourselves and others through metaphorical extension into, and identification with, the emotions and thoughts of a character about whom we read. James Joyce‘s “The Dead” is the last story in Dubliners. It is regarded as one of the world’s great short stories. It was published in 1914 and, with its exploration of inwardness, it was a significant part of the modernist movement in literature. In 1846 Søren Kierkegaard wrote that inwardness is a special kind of truth, a truth of subjectivity that is not based on information, not based on explanation or persuasion, not based on being told what to do or think.

The Rocky Road to Ulysses
_t_ THE ROCKY ROAD TO ULYSSES BY HANS WALTER GABLER Series Editors Luca Crispi and Catherine Fahy THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF IRELAND JOYCE STUDIES 2004 To the memory of Richard Ellmann (1918-1987) and Hugh Kenner (1923-2003) © 2005 Hans Walter Gabler —Ten years, {Mulligan] said, chewing and laughing. He is going to write something in ten years. —Seems a long way off, Haines said, thoughtfully lifting his spoon. Still, I shouldn't wonder if he did after all. (Ulysses 10.1089-92)' May Joyce, James Joyce's sister, remembered in a letter to her brother of 1 September 1916 that Jim would send all the younger brothers and sisters out of the room and, alone with his dying mother, would read to her from the novel he had just begun to write. May remembered because once or twice she managed to get overlooked, hiding under the sofa; and eventually Jim allowed her to stay for chapter after chapter.2 This must have been in the summer of 1903. It cannot have been later, for their mother died that August. Nor is it likely to have been earlier, since that would have been before Joyce left for Paris in early December 1902; nor, presumably, did these readings take place during the two or three weeks from late December 1902 to mid-January 1903 when Joyce, homesick, returned from Paris to spend Christmas in Dublin. We believe we know what James Joyce's first attempts at writing were, in his late teens, before he left Ireland for Paris. They comprised juvenile and early poems, some journalistic efforts, two translations from the German of plays by Gerhart Hauptmann,' and a miscellany made up of brief dramatic and narrative scenes and vividly visual accounts of dreams.

Och 2006 iii “The World Goes One Way and We Go Another”: Movement, Migration and Myths of Irish Cinema Dana C. Och, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2006 The dissertation considers Irish films through the valence of movement and migration to conceptualize a cinema that can account for how films function locally and transnationally. I consider various forms of migration in films produced in Ireland to interrogate how identity and the nation are presented. Considering forms of migration opens a different approach to the films that enables questioning of the myths of the nation-state within globalized capital and culture. In Ireland, the land has given shape to the physical boundaries of imagined identity; land is understood as a material trace denoting a linear history of invasion, conquest, and ultimately independence – an evolution from colonial oppression to postcolonial identity.

LIFE AND DEATH IN JOYCE’S DUBLINERS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Arts English by Matthew Brett Gallman May 2008 Accepted by: Wayne Chapman, Committee Chair Catherine Paul Arthur Young ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of James Joyce’s Dubliners as a collection of stories that is unified by an ongoing intersection between life and death. In the collection, the dead often serve to expose a deficiency in the living. The thesis explores four stories that share this theme in particular: “The Sisters,” “A Painful Case,” “Ivy Day in the Committee Room,” and “The Dead.” Each story is also presented in the context of how each relates to the progression from youth to public life within Dubliners . As such, the thesis also considers how Dubliners exhibits a progression towards isolation and paralysis in the living until the final story, “The Dead,” which marks a reversal of this trend.
