  • The Insurrection in Dublin” Across the South Atlantic

    The Insurrection in Dublin” Across the South Atlantic

    Rumours of “The Insurrection in Dublin” across the South Atlantic Laura P. Z. Izarra Abstract: This article shows how James Stephens’ daily journalistic record of the rumours and tension of the Easter Rising in Dublin’s streets intersects with beliefs in freedom, idealism, justice and patriotism already present in his previous work, with Roger Casement’s Speech from the Dock and narratives constructed under the Southern Cross. Based on Rosnow’s and Allport and Portsman’s concepts of rumour as well as on Igor Primoratz’s and Aleksandar Pavković’s concepts of patriotism, I deconstruct news of the Rising that reached the South Atlantic shores and spread through local and Irish community newspapers. An analysis of the words chosen by the journalists to describe the Rising – such as ‘insurrection’, ‘rebellion’, ‘revolution’, ‘rioting’, ‘rising’ – reveal the political position adopted by the newspapers of the Irish communities in Argentina and also in Brazil. Keywords: James Stephens, Easter Rising, South American press, Eamonn Bulfin, Roger Casement. On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising Fintan O’Toole (2006) wrote that much was being said about it but that there were two quite distinct subjects: one was the myth to which great significance had been added “by the meanings that people wish to read into it”; the argument (whether it was a heroic act or an act of treachery…) was not about the past but about the present and the future because this is determined by one’s view on other subjects like the Northern Ireland conflict, or nationalism and socialism, or “the awkward relationship between the terrorist and the freedom fighter”.

My hypothesis is that the repertoire of myths, memories and symbols of the Irish nation formed the basis for individual interpretations of the events of the Easter Rising, and that this interpretation, in turn, stimulated members of the Irish nation to support radical nationalism. I have based my work on an interdisciplinary approach, utilising theories of ethnicity and nationalism as well as social movements.

    Rural Agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a Bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin

    Interface: a journal for and about social movements Bibliography Volume 10 (1-2): 215 - 278 (2018) MacSheoin, Rural agitation in Ireland Rural agitation in Ireland 1710-2010: a bibliography Tomás Mac Sheoin Abstract This bibliography brings together recent secondary literature on agitation in rural Ireland over a period of three centuries. Keywords: Ireland, rural agitation, land war, peasant resistance, Whiteboys, rural protest, tithe war, Ribbonism Introduction Studies of various aspects of rural agitation in Ireland have flourished over the last four decades. Prior to the publication of T Desmond Williams’ edited collection on secret societies in 1973 –generally seen as the beginning of this flourishing- rural unrest had not been a major subject of unrest: aside from O’Donoghue’s work on tithes and a variety of work published in local archaeological and historical journals, the land war had been almost the sole such subject of interest to mainstream Irish historiography. This changed with the arrival of social history and ‘history from below’ under the influence of English historians such as E.P. Thompson. As Fitzpatrick noted in a 1985 review essay ‘In addition to the three volumes under review, at least twenty-two major studies of various aspects of rural unrest have been published since 1978’ (Fitzpatrick 1985: 98). By the time Cronin published her review in 2012 her bibliography had swelled to twelve pages, though some of the listed works were contextual rather than focused on specific cases of agitation. My recent review in Interface featured a bibliography of eighteen pages, though again a fair number of the listed works were contextual.

The following chronology of important dates and events with which I was associated in the public life of my late husband, Laurence Ginnell, has been compiled by me from my diaries and those of my late husband. It covers the period l874 to l923, and while the information contained therein is somewhat brief in regard to certain dates and events, it will I hope be of use to the future historian.
