Woven Together The wider political fabric is composed of like and unlike groups of people woven together. The comedy of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata had analysed the various parts of the carding, spinning and weaving of wool as a way of resolving bitter conflict. In all the struggles for political control in the Hellenistic and early Roman period weaving could still be a ‘sign’ that demonstrated the bringing together of dissimilar elements – warp and weft… (1999:126) From ‘Oblivion and Metamorphosis: Australian Weavers in Relation to Ancient Artefacts from Cyprus’ By Diana Wood Conroy, Reinventing Textiles Vol.1: Tradition and Innovation (ed.

  • 'You'll Never Beat the System by Bombing Number 1O' Perceptions of the Utility of Political Violence in Anarcho- Punk
    1. Title ‘You’ll never beat the system by bombing Number 1o’ Perceptions of the utility of political violence in anarcho- punk, 1977-1987 Rich Cross No Sir, I Won’t: Reconsidering the legacy of Crass and anarcho-punk, Oxford Brookes, 28 June 2013 2. Contention [As slide] Anarcho-punk should not be seen simply as a pacifist-punk culture. The culture’s self-identification as ‘peace punk’ was not immediate, and anarcho-punk quickly became diverse in political and cultural ambition, especially concerning the nature of opposition to the state Perceptions of the utility of political violence changed within a few short years, as anarcho-punk responded to a range of pressures and counter-pressures. Changing views of violence reflect shifts in the centre of political gravity within the movement 3. ‘Boring fucking politics will get us all shot’ Discussion about the recourse to political violence in Britain often starts from the assumption that the use of physical force in pursuit of political aims is somehow ‘alien’ to the British system. To provide the context for a discussion about anarcho-punk’s relationship to political violence means establishing the extent to which political violence (deployed by the state and its opponents) was a recurring feature of British political life in the late 1970s and 1980s. 4. Airey Neave Airey Neave, a senior conservative politician and notable establishment figure, was blow up and killed by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) as he left the House of Commons car park in March 1979. 5. Warrenpoint and Mountbatten In August 1979, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) carried out its most devastating single attack against the British army, killing 18 paratroopers in a co-ordinated ambush at Warrenpoint.

General outline of a conflict. 2. Approach, theory, level of analysis (providing framework). Providing the hypothesis 3. Major actors involved, definition of their priorities, preferences and interests. 4. Origins of the conflict (historical perspective), major actions timeline 5. Models of conflicts, explanations of its reasons 6. Proving the hypothesis 7. Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

The Project title; ‘Terrorism knows NO Borders’ aptly illustrates the broader point that we are seeking to make through our involvement in this work, namely that in the context of Northern Ireland terrorism and criminal violence was not curtailed to Northern Ireland alone but rather that individuals, families and communities experienced its’ impacts across the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and beyond these islands. This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism. SEFF’s ethos means that we are not purely concerned with victims/survivors who live within south Fermanagh or indeed the broader County.

It began with the onset of the most brutal phase of the War of Independence and culminated in the effective miltary defeat of the Republican IRA in the Civil War. Occurring alongside these dramatic changes in the south and west of Ireland was a far more fundamental conflict in the north-east; a period of brutal sectarian violence which marked the early years of partition and the establishment of Northern Ireland. Almost uniquely the IRA in the six counties were involved in every one of these conflcts and yet it can be argued was on the fringes of all of them. The period i 920-22 saw the evolution of the organisation from a peripheral curiosity during the War of independence to an idealistic symbol for those wishing to resolve the fundamental divisions within the Sinn Fein movement which developed in the first six months of i 922.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

  • Reflections on Masculinity Within Northern Ireland's Protestant
    The Ulster Boys: reflections on masculinity within Northern Ireland’s Protestant community Alan Bairner (Loughborough University, UK) Introduction According to MacInnes (1998: 2), ‘masculinity does not exist as the property, character trait or aspect of identity of individuals’. Rather, ‘it is an ideology produced by men as a result of the threat posed to the survival of the patriarchal sexual division of labour by the rise of modernity’ (p. 45). Whilst the influence of a perceived ‘crisis of masculinity’ can be overstated, it is irrefutable that many of the traditional sources of male (or, to be more precise, masculine) identity have been eroded throughout the western world (Seidler, 1997).That is not to say that new sources for the construction of masculinity cannot be found. Nor is it intended to imply that men have never previously experienced conflicts of identity. This lecture discusses the construction of masculinity and the related issue of conflicted identity within the context of Northern Ireland’s Protestant community. It begins with some general observations and proceeds to discuss the trajectory of three celebrity Ulster Protestants, two of them sportsmen, and their respective engagement with conflicted identity. As Sugden (1996: 129) notes in his sociological study of boxing, Northern Ireland, and, most significantly, its major city, Belfast, has always been regarded as a home to ‘hard men’. According to Sugden, ‘the “hard men” of the pre-1950s were those who worked in 1 the shipyards, mills and factories, inhabiting a proud, physically tough and exclusively male occupational culture which cast a long shadow over popular recreation outside the workplace’.

The nominating committee proposes candidates for official ISEE positions. The Secretary of the ISEE has five main duties: to handle society correspondence and writings, excluding the web page; to convene a business meeting once a year at one of the three APAs; to arrange the ISEE program at the Central Division APA; to send the ISEE newsletter to the membership; and to exercise executive control over the membership list generated by the Treasurer. Please send nominations by e-mail to Victoria Davion at [email protected] and cc to Gary Varner at [email protected]. The deadline for nominations is May 1, 2001. Please verify that persons nominated will be willing to serve. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is in danger. Millions of migratory birds, the Porcupine Caribou herd, polar bears, and a spectacular pristine wilderness are threatened, as pro- development forces make the strongest push ever to drill for oil in the refuge. There is scant evidence you can drill the Arctic in an environmentally sensitive manner: even under tight scrutiny, oil companies have continued to have accidents and spills in the nearby Naval Petroleum Reserve. A footprint in a wilderness area is still a footprint, and in the case of oil development, it is much more, including thousands of acres of roads and pipelines. Letters to Congress and Op-ed pieces defending ANWR are urgently needed.
