The School of Archaeology warmly invites adult learners to register for and join in First Year modules. The modules available are Exploring Archaeology in Semester 1 and Introducing the Archaeology of Ireland in Semester 2. You may opt to take one or both. Your registration will include a UCD Student Card and access to UCD’s James Joyce Library. You can opt to take the module for interest alone, and attend lectures only, or you can deepen your learning by participating in and completing all course assessments. 04 FLEXIBLE LEARNING FLEXIBLE LEARNING Exploring Archaeology (ARCH10010) Module Coordinator: Professor Gabriel Cooney Semester 1 Archaeology explores how people in the past - and sometimes the present - used places, objects and animals to create and inhabit worlds that were often very different from our own. In this sense, archaeology provides us with unique insights into the human condition and a sense of what it is to be a person in many different cultural contexts. This module will give you a general introduction to this exciting and engaging subject, enabling you to understand basic archaeological principles, methods and techniques. We will look at the history and development of archaeological thought. We will explore how archaeologists discover, survey and excavate places from the past and we will trace how we can interpret past societies from the objects (material culture) that they created, used and discarded. The module is taught by 12 lively, well-illustrated lectures, 1 class archaeological fieldtrip to a prehistoric landscape and 1 class visit to a museum, all providing you with practical opportunities to investigate ancient landscapes and objects yourself.

It reveals the footprint of people through time by means of the spectacular archaeological heritage of the country. Ancient monuments, landscapes and objects are explored in order to understand the lifestyles of early inhabitants, the achievements and beliefs of megalith builders, the major innovations in ancient Ireland such as farming, metal-working and Christianity, the origins of Celtic Ireland, and above all the emergence of the Irish landscape as we know it today. The module is organized as follows: (a) One lecture each week presenting the story of Ireland from the Mesolithic to the present; (b) occasional special case studies in a second lecture slot each week; (c) tutorials to complement and reinforce the lectures; and (d) directed visits to the National Museum of Ireland and Ferrycarrig Heritage Park.

  • Representing the Child's Memory: an Ulster
    Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 REPRESENTING THE CHILD’S MEMORY: AN ULSTER CHILDHOOD RECONSTRUCTED by PATRICK DOHERTY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire FEBRUARY 2020 1 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 2 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 ABSTRACT In this thesis I examine the potential for the self-representation of an Ulster, rural, Catholic childhood in 1950s -70s through the creative practice of writing my own memoir in the first person, present tense and the aging child’s point of view, in a fractured, non- linear narrative. My memoir uses the child’s language appropriately in accordance with my understanding of child development gained from a lifetime of teaching. My memoir underscores, through personal experience, the revelations of child abuse over the past thirty years as exposed in the Ryan Report in 2009. My narrative strategy of using the first person and child’s point of view demonstrate the impact upon the individual child of a society’s suppression of the silence and violence within the home, school and church. My memoir is accompanied by an exegesis which critically examines my creative writing output and practice. My memoir contributes to the development of a young child’s cognition and its development through to adulthood. It is a contribution to an evolving body of memoir in response to social and familial conditions in mid-twentieth century Ireland. 3 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract P.

We discuss the historical and social development of this dialect and relate it to the works of such authors as Joyce, Synge and Kennelly. Then we describe certain lin- guistic and cultural features of it which appear in literary texts and could lead to misinter- pretations if they are not taken into account. Finally, we discuss how to use works written in non-standard varieties of English, like Hiberno-English, in the classroom, basing our discussion on an early twentieth century play, The Tinker’s Wedding by Synge, and a cur- rent novel and film, The Snapper, by Doyle.

As for Dr Ian Adamson, the distinguished paediatrician and cultural historian, he coined the term “Ullans” to designate the language derived from the transfer of the Lowland Scots tongue (Lallans) to the north-east corner of Ireland (Ulster). 2 Not that it had a name back in the 1950s when I was born and first encountered Ulster Scots. 3 The man who introduced me to the notion of a language not used by my favoured Scottish authors Robert Louis Stevenson, R. M. Ballantyne and Walter Scott, or English and American writers like Jane Austen, R. D. Blackmore and Mark Twain, was a family friend and neighbour, Alex Calderwood.

    ‘Now hold on, my attachment to this place is home. that’s it’: The Politics of Place and Identity in an Irish Fishing Locale Rachel Donkersloot University of British Columbia [email protected] Abstract This paper presents findings from a larger study which aims to promote a better understanding of rural youth emigration through consideration of the im- portance of place in young people’s lives and life choices. In this paper, I focus pri- marily on the ways in which narratives of place become articulations of identity. More specifically, I examine the ways in which the development, organization and practices of the ‘local’ fishing industry work to shape, both negatively and posi- tively, the symbolic and structural dimensions of young people’s sense of place and identity. Here I draw attention to the changing social and economic landscape of fisheries (under)development in northwest Ireland to explain the complex and contradictory ways in which young people’s articulated values and identities con- vey a clear connection to the sea, a corresponding lack of local culture, and con- certed dissociation from the fishing industry and fishing community. In doing so, I locate local youth identities in the shifting landscape of a fishing community in transition and argue for the continued importance of place in studies of identity and migration. Introduction This paper comes from a larger study which addresses gender disparities in ru- ral youth emigration through consideration of the ways in which young people’s sense of place in rural society (and by implication, desire to leave) are shaped by subjectivities of gender (see for example Dahlstrom 1996).
