Una lectura a partir de dos héroes culturales.1 Elisa Palermo * Resumen Empujados por el hambre, la pobreza y la falta de libertades religiosas y políticas, muchos irlandeses emigraron a nuestro país hacia mediados del siglo XIX. Actualmente, descendientes de esos inmigrantes continúan festejando y conmemorando fechas patrias y religiosas irlandesas, nucleándose en diferentes instituciones creadas por sus ancestros y compartiendo momentos y pasatiempos en clubes irlandeses. El presente artículo se propone analizar cómo, a través de dos personajes históricos (el Padre Fahy y el Almirante Brown), estas personas unidas en lo que ellos llaman “comunidad”, recrean simbólicamente el pasado, logrando autolegitimarse en el tiempo y el espacio, uniendo el presente con “ambos” pasados -el argentino y el irlandés- y construyendo una identidad dual que, sin dejar de lado las tradiciones y costumbres heredadas de sus raíces irlandesas, trasciende lo “irlandés” para amalgamarse con e insertarse en el plano mayor de la nación que adoptó y albergó a sus padres y abuelos.

  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

  • English and Irish Naval Officers in the War for Brazilian Independence by Brian Vale
    Irish Migration Studies in Latin America Vol. 4, No. 3: July 2006 www.irlandeses.org English and Irish Naval Officers in the War for Brazilian Independence By Brian Vale View of Rio de Janeiro 1799 (Garneray) In the literal sense they were mercenaries, but that word acquired distasteful associations in the twentieth century and is best avoided. These men simply sought to earn a living. Since the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars had lasted for a generation, there were plenty of people in Europe who knew of no other occupation or had no other expectations. South American Independence and the Sea The Napoleonic Wars dealt a devastating blow to the Spanish Empire in the Americas. The arrest of the Spanish Royal Family in 1808 and the French occupation of Spain produced a maelstrom of revolution and led to the appointment of local juntas at home and abroad to rule in the name of the absent king. In the Americas, the juntas acquired a taste for self-government and, led by radicals and military strongmen, successively replaced the Royalist administrations with republican regimes. Argentina was in the van- guard of this movement. By 1814 it had formed an independent republic, and in 1818 Argentine troops crossed the Andes and liberated Chile. Peru was then invaded by sea and, in 1821, became an independ- ent republic. When Simón Bolívar secured the territories to the north, in 1825, Spanish South America was free from Spanish rule. Territorial armies and land campaigns played a vital role in securing independence, but command of the sea was also crucial.

  • Why Ireland and Irish Studies in South America?
    Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 196-204 https://doi.org/10.24162/EI2021-10080 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Why Ireland and Irish Studies in South America?

This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. When Declan Kiberd rightly asks “who invented Ireland?” in the introduction of his renowned Inventing Ireland (1995), he points out three possibilities: the Irish themselves, embodied in the words Sinn Féin (ourselves alone) which refer to the movement for national independence; the English fictional construction in response to a specific moment in British history, whose way of thinking was challenged by the 1916 insurrection; and, the massive emigration of hundreds of thousands of Irish men and women after the famines of the 1840s, “going to Britain, North America and Australia dreaming of a homeland, and committed to carrying a burden which few enough on native grounds still bothered to shoulder: an idea of Ireland” (2). Though the Irish in South America have not been in the scope1 of Irish historians and critics until the first decade of this century, Latin American scholars have been examining the Irish presence in their region since the early twentieth century, and these results should be inscribed in the global Irish agenda. And, why has Ireland been the focus of non-English speaking countries across the Atlantic? Works of art are products of their age and Kiberd (1995) affirms that “certain masterpieces float free of their enabling conditions to make their home in the world” (4).

It also situates the issue with respect to the field of scholarly work on Uruguayan cinema (exploring reasons behind the relative lack of scholarly interest in Uruguayan filmmaking), and Latin American cinema more broadly, before briefly discussing the articles in turn.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 91,138 words. 3 Abstract This thesis provides an overview of the social and entrepreneurial careers and strategies of merchants during the first modern “commercial” era, 1830-75. It examines merchants as migratory entrepreneurs during the integration of peripheral regions into the transatlantic economy via commerce, technology transfer, and ideology. Merchants organized, operated and expanded overseas commerce, importing textiles and exporting pastoral products. They used a variety of strategies and firm structures to discover and exploit niches in a competitive, developing market. They also influenced the process of economic development and state building as capitalists and risk-bearers, financing both production and politics.

Gerding 62 Robert Gore (1810-1854), naval officer and diplomatist, by Edmundo Murray 67 Dr. John O’Dwyer Creaghe (1841-1920) Irish-Argentine Anarchist By Máirtín Ó Catháin John Creaghe (1841-1920) (Ephéméride anarchiste, http://ytak.club.fr/fevrier3.html) Dr. John O’Dwyer Creaghe (or Juan, as he came to be known), was an Irish-born international revolu- tionary anarchist of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His name is most often associated with anarchism in England and Argentina, though he was also active in the United States in support of exiled Mexican anarchists, and died in Washington DC. He is a figure who encapsulates the diversity of the Irish in Argentina in a very idiosyncratic manner, who forsook ethnic for class alliance and helped pioneer a movement of critical importance to Argentine and South American labour history. John O’Dwyer Creaghe was born to an old Limerick family in 1841 and after qualifying as a physician in 1865 at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, he took up his practice at Mitchelstown, County Cork the following year.He was fully licensed as a medical practitioner in 1869 from the King’s and Queen’s Colleges of Physicians in Ireland, and remained in practice at Mitchelstown until 1874 (1).

Masters equipped their slaves with firearms much like many other tools and many citizens turned to the Assembly to undertake measures to ensure that this armed labor did not compromise white people’s safety or property. The state’s legislature dictated the terms under which masters could arm their slaves and while some slaveholders defiantly used armed African-descended laborers as they wished most white people believed that armed slaves should be kept under a responsible white person’s control.
