Kildare, Ireland ABSTRACT KEYWORDS In 1970’s Ireland, a number of feminist activists became the editors Journalism; feminism; of the women’s pages of the national daily newspapers. Their work newspapers; work culture; radically changed women’s access to the role of journalist as well as gender fundamentally altering the normative perspective applied to news stories. These women introduced “new journalism” to Ireland, writing about issues in the private rather than the public sphere and doing so from an explicitly feminist point of view. These female editors inhabited a workspace and culture that was heavily masculine, but they negotiated bias and sometimes outright discrimination in order to change the gendered nature of Irish print media. -
Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely. -
Review of Galway's Culture 21
REVIEW OF GALWAY’S CULTURE 21: ACTIONS SELF-ASSESSMENT MAY 2016 This document provides an overview of the discussions that emerged in response to the Culture 21: Actions Self-Assessment conducted throughout a day-long workshop, hosted in Galway on the 6th April 2016. The workshop followed on a public event, attended by over eighty local stakeholders, including presentations by Jordi Pascual, Clymene Christoforou, Catherine Cullen and Dr Beatriz Garcia. These presentations provided; a background on the vision and ambitions behind Culture 21 Actions (Jordi Pascual); the role of Culture Action Europe (Clymene Christoforou); the experience and legacy of Lille as host of the 2004 European Capital of Culture (Catherine Cullen ); and the experience of Liverpool as 2008 European Capital of Culture (Dr Beatriz Garcia). The exercise took place in the context of the initial workshop of the Pilot Cities Europe programme in Galway and was meant to inform the design of a work programme which, in 2016 and 2017, will enable the city to address some of the weaknesses identified and build on its perceived strengths. As suggested by the Terms of Reference of the Pilot Cities Europe programme, the initial workshop involved a diverse group of participants, including representatives of different areas of local government, civil society activists and private organisations. A full list of participants has been included in Annex 1. In the course of the workshop, participants evaluated Galway’s current status as regards the nine ‘Commitments’ or thematic areas that make up Culture 21 Actions. The exercise also enables cities to compare their assessment with the average ratings provided by a global panel of experts, which assessed the situation of the items included in Culture 21 Actions in mid-2015. -
A Contingent Valuation Analysis of the Galway City Museum: Welfare Estimates for Attendance in the Absence of an Admission Fee
The Economic and Social Review, Vol. 49, No. 4, Winter 2018, pp. 489-514 POLICY PAPER A Contingent Valuation Analysis of the Galway City Museum: Welfare Estimates for Attendance in the Absence of an Admission Fee Vincent G. Munley* Lehigh University, Bethlehem Pennsylvania Abstract: This paper provides empirical evidence about the demand for museum attendance in the absence of an admission fee based upon a survey of visitors to the Galway City Museum. The contingent valuation model results provide estimates of the total value (consumer surplus) of annual museum visits. Using these results it is possible to determine the welfare effects of predicted reductions in the number of visits at various levels for an admission fee. The results also provide insight about the impact of fees on the demand for subsequent versus initial museum visits, a focus of continuing interest within the cultural economics literature. I INTRODUCTION hile the question of how, and by whom, museum services should be financed Wis of long-standing and continuing interest within the cultural economics literature, there exists surprisingly scant evidence about the actual demand for museum attendance at point of entry. There are several potential reasons why this is the case. First, many museums offer free admission, limiting the availability of Acknowledgements: Earlier versions of this paper were presented at seminars at the National University of Ireland, Galway Department of Economics and the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) in Dublin and also included in the programme for the 2018 Meetings of the Public Choice Society in Charleston, South Carolina. Extensive, helpful comments by two anonymous referees motivated revisions that improved the paper substantially. -

University of Connecticut 2007 Approved by: Dr. Mary Bur ke Dr. Brendan Kane Dr. Thomas S hea ABSTRACT Irish novelist Edna O’Brien suffered a tumultuous early reception ; her first six novels were banned in Ireland, and critics complained that her writing was sensational and gratuitous. Yet by the time Ireland’s economic boom arrived on the island, many contemporary critics suddenly applaud the novelist’s writing. Is th is significant change in critical reception based on O’Brien’s development as an author? Or was O’Brien writing stories that were ahead of her time and only now accepted by contemporary critics? My paper considers the writing and critical reception of Ed na O’Brien by placing her life and career alongside three waves of Irish feminism. -
