    'Triptych', from Seamus Heaney's Field Work

    An In-Depth Study of ‘Triptych’, from Seamus Heaney’s Field Work An In-Depth Study of ‘Triptych’, from Seamus Heaney’s Field Work Martin Connolly This paper focuses critical attention on ‘Triptych’, the sequence of three poems in Seamus Heaney’s 1979 collection Field Work. The sequence directly follows the opening poem ‘Oysters’, and by virtue of position alone commands attention. It is the first of a number of poems in the collection to address the conflict in Northern Ireland, and can be seen as a kind of public poetry, very different in tone, theme and style from early Heaney. This exploration derives from attempts to provide satisfactory answers to questions concerning elements within the sequence which resist smooth interpretation. My method of approach is largely chronological, in the sense that I go through the poems starting at the beginning and plough through to the end, stanza by stanza, sometimes line by line, attempting to guide the reader toward an understanding of the poem derived from apparent textual evidence. Early on, however, I do state what I think the poetic sequence is designed to be, and this argument informs my interpretation throughout. Yet, at every point, I provide what I consider a coherent rationale and logic for my critical opinions. I would certainly welcome debate on each and every point. The conclusions I have come to in regard to this poetic sequence, are, at times, negative, but not exclusively so. I have looked at this poetic sequence up close and － 129 － found it to be problematic in a number of areas.

Yet, there was one day, Christmas Day 1914, when the madness stopped and a brief peace, inspired by the Christmas story, broke out along the Western Front. The Island of Ireland Peace Park, Messines, Belgium, stands on a gentle slope overlooking the site of one of the most extraordinary events of World War I and, indeed, world history. German soldiers had been sent thousands of small Christmas trees and candles from back home. As night enveloped an unusually still and silent Christmas Eve, a soldier placed one of the candlelit trees upon the parapet of his trench. Others followed and before long a chain of flickering lights spread for miles along the German line. British and French soldiers observed in amazement.

The former Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Dr James Mehaffey, has spoken of his pride at being granted the Freedom of the City of Derry, along with his long–time friend, retired Bishop of Derry Dr Edward Daly.

Representatives of the four main political parties were in the chamber, with councillors joined by the Foyle MP Mark Durkan, the Nobel peace laureate John Hume, the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and members of the Mehaffey and Daly families. The recipients’ successors, Bishop Ken Good and Bishop Donal McKeown, were also in attendance, along with leading figures from the civic life. It was a doubly historic occasion, with the formal presentation being made by the last ever Mayor of the city, Councillor Brenda Stevenson. Bishop Mehaffey told the meeting that he was a Freeman of the City of London, “but being a Freeman of the City of Derry means so much more”. He thanked Bishop Daly for his friendship and support over the last 35 years. “During my entire episcopal ministry in the Diocese, Bishop Daly has been a true friend and colleague.

    Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland

    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 4 2002 Article 9 Dealing With the Past in Northern Ireland Christine Bell∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Dealing With the Past in Northern Ireland Christine Bell Abstract This Article “audits” Northern Ireland’s discrete mechanisms for dealing with the past, with a view to exploring the wider transitional justice debates. An assessment of what has been done so far is vital to considering what the goals of addressing the past might be, what future developments are useful or required, and what kind of mechanisms might successfully be employed in achieving those goals. DEALING WITH THE PAST IN NORTHERN IRELAND Christine Bell* INTRODUCTION The term "transitional justice" has increasingly been used to consider how governments in countries emerging from deeply rooted conflict address the legacy of past human rights viola- tions.' While the term has a pedigree dating back to the Nuremburg Tribunals, three contemporary factors have reinvig- orated interest.2 The first factor is the prevalence of negotiated agreements as the preferred way of resolving internal conflicts. Premised on some degree of compromise between those who were engaged militarily in the conflict, these compromises affect whether and how the past is dealt with. As Huyse notes, the wid- est scope for prosecutions arises in the case of an overthrow or "victory" where virtually no political limits on retributive punish- * Professor Bell is the Chair in Public International Law, Transitional Justice Insti- tute, School of Law, University of Ulster, and a former member of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission.

This event, called “Bloody Sunday,” was the subject of two formal inquiries by the British government, one conducted by Lord Widgery in 1972 that exonerated the British soldiers and one led by Lord Saville, which published its findings in June 2010 and found the British troops to be at fault. Before the second investigation gave its report, a number of dramatic productions had contradicted the official British version of events and presented the Irish point of view. Two films and two plays in particular—the drama The Freedom of the City (1973), the filmed docudramas Bloody Sunday and Sunday (both 2002), and the documentary theater production Bloody Sunday: Scenes from the Saville Inquiry (2005)—were aimed at audiences that did not recognize the injustices that took place in Derry.

    Films for (Social) Change

    Films for (social) change The Filmhouse Cinema in Edinburgh is screening three fine movies as part of this year's Festival of Spirituality and Peace, which runs from 6-9 August 2011 - 'Getting Out', 'Bloody Sunday' and 'Pray the Devil Back'. On 12 August at 17:45 there is a showing of 'Getting Out', followed by Q&A with Bishop Christopher Senjonyo from Uganda, a campaigner for gay rights. The documentary, produced by the Refugee Law Project in collaboration with the Ugandan Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law, explores the reality that for many LGBTI Africans coming out to family and friends at home is not even an option. Before they can come out, they first have to get out. This means not only finding means to escape the political forces promoting homophobia at home, but also dealing with the hypocrisies and failings of asylum systems around the world. Filmed in Uganda, South Africa, Geneva, and London, with supporting footage from Malawi and Zimbabwe, Getting Out depicts the true stories of five individuals navigating their way through this complex issue. Then on Friday 19 August at 17:45, there is 'Bloody Sunday', featuring James Nesbitt, Allan Gildea, Gerard Crossan, Mary Moulds, and Tim Pigott-Smith. The film will be followed by a Q&A with Don Mullan, co-producer, whose book 'Eyewitness Bloody Sunday' was used as the basis for it. The documentary-style drama shows the events that lead up to the tragic incident on January 30, 1972, in the Northern Ireland town of Derry, when a protest march led by civil rights activist Ivan Cooper was fired upon by British troops, killing 13 protesters and wounding 14 more.
