  • 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.

  • Josh Warrington-Sofiane Takoucht and Jay Harris-Paddy Barnes Headline Two-Card Weekend Extravaganza on ESPN+
    Josh Warrington-Sofiane Takoucht and Jay Harris-Paddy Barnes Headline Two-Card Weekend Extravaganza on ESPN+ (Oct. 10, 2019) — ESPN+, the leading multi-sport streaming service, will stream a pair of stacked cards this weekend, including a world title bout featuring all-action IBF featherweight champion Josh Warrington. The weekend extravaganza kicks off Friday at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT, as unbeaten flyweight contender Jay Harris will battle three-time Irish Olympian Paddy Barnes in a 12-rounder at Ulster Hall in Belfast. Warrington will make the third defense of his title Saturday against Sofiane Takoucht at the First Direct Arena in his hometown of Leeds, England. Warrington-Takoucht and select undercard bouts will stream live on ESPN+ starting at 2:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. PT. Warrington (29-0, 6 KOs), nicknamed “The Leeds Warrior,” won the world title in his hometown last May with a well-deserved split decision victory over Lee Selby. He returned later that year and bested former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton by unanimous decision in a Fight of the Year contender. In his last outing, Warrington edged Kid Galahad via split decision. Takoucht (35-3-1, 13 KOs) has won eight consecutive bouts and is a former European and IBF International featherweight champion. In other ESPN+ streaming action on the Warrington-Takoucht card: Zelfa Barrett (22-1, 13 KOs) will make the first defense of his Commonwealth super featherweight title in a 12- rounder against Scottish veteran Jordan McCorry (18-6-1, 4 KOs). In a 12-rounder for the vacant Commonwealth light heavyweight title, Lyndon Arthur (15-0, 12 KOs) will take on Emmanuel Anim (14-2-1, 12 KOs).

  • New Speakers of Irish: Shifting Boundaries Across Time and Space
    IJSL 2015; 231: 63 – 83 Open Access Bernadette O’Rourke* and John Walsh New speakers of Irish: shifting boundaries across time and space Abstract: While traditional Irish-speaking communities continue to decline, the number of second-language speakers outside of the Gaeltacht has increased. Of the more than one and half million speakers of Irish just over 66,000 now live in one of the officially designated Gaeltacht areas. While “new speakers” can be seen to play an important role in the future of the language, this role is sometimes undermined by discourses which idealise the notion of the traditional Gaeltacht speaker. Such discourses can be used to deny them “authenticity” as “real” or “legitimate” speakers, sometimes leading to struggles over language ownership. Concerns about linguistic purity are often voiced in both academic and public discourse, with the more hybridized forms of Irish developed amongst “new speakers” often criticised. This article looks at the extent to which such discourses are being internalised by new speakers of Irish and whether or not they are con- structing an identity as a distinct social and linguistic group based on what it means to be an Irish speaker in the twenty first century. Keywords: new speakers, Irish, language ideologies, authenticity DOI 10.1515/ijsl-2014-0032 1 Introduction Since political independence, the Irish state’s policy on the Irish language has consisted of two interlinked components: the maintenance of Irish as the “native” language of the Gaeltacht (core Irish-speaking districts) and its revival elsewhere in Ireland (Ó Riagáin 1997). These policies have had mixed levels of success.

  • The Irish Tradition of the Three Good Brothers Charm Revisited1
    ‘As I went up the hill of Mount Olive’ The Irish Tradition of the Three Good Brothers Charm Revisited1 Ilona Tuomi Introduction Throughout history, people have used a variety of recourses to battle everyday illnesses such as fevers, headaches, toothaches, bleeding and sprains, as well as minor ailments including curing hiccups or soothing a nettle sting. One such healing technique is the use of charms (orthaí in modern Irish, sg. ortha).2 Here, I follow the definition used by current charm scholars such as Jonathan Roper, who defines a charm to be ‘a traditional form of words thought to have a direct effect in the world, usually of a protecting, healing kind’. In order for a charm to work, it usually needs to be performed by a ‘legitimate’ person who often uses special accompanying actions and accessories (Roper 2005, 15). This article will focus on the Irish tradition of one of the best-known wound charms in Europe, called Tres Boni Fratres, or the Three Good Brothers.3 This is a very popular charm to stop bleeding, and has been documented in written and spoken sources in various languages across the European continent from the 1 This article is based on two separate papers I have given on the topic of the Three Good Brothers charm: at the 15th International Congress of Celtic Studies, University of Glasgow, 13-17 July 2015; and at the 9th Conference of the International Committee for Charms, Charmers and Charming, International Society for Folk Narrative Research, 6-8 May 2016, University College Cork. I would like to express my gratitude for all the comments that helped me to improve my arguments.
