This was not always the case. Women in particular were excluded from many areas of public discourse. Reaching back into the 19th century, the distinction between public and private spheres was an ideological one. As men moved out of the home to work and acquired increasing power, the public world inhabited by men became identified with influence and control, the private with moral value and support.

Gently lunging melodies combine to produce a bustling tapestry of sound. Turn literally turns over its phrases, varying upon each repetition. Once I decided to dedicate this piece to my mother, an inveterate knitter, it struck me: that’s exactly what a turn is in knitting, a reworking on top of an already established stitched pattern! On a larger level Turn pushes towards build-ups that end each time with a literal turn in direction. This in a major way constitutes the modus operandi of the piece.

  • The Gerry Ryan Show on 2FM and the Death of Diana, Princess of Wales a Case-Study, September 1997
    The Gerry Ryan Show on 2FM and The Death of Diana, Princess of Wales A Case-Study, September 1997 "Study submitted in part fulfillment of the requirement for the award of Master of Arts Degree in Communications & Cultural Studies” NAME: Ciara Me Carrón DATE: 6th February 1998 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the staff of Dublin City University for their understanding and support throughout my course of study, especially Stephanie MacBride. Thanks also to Clare Byrne, Majella Breen, Niall Me Gowan and The Gerry Ryan Show programme team in 2FM. I would further like to acknowledge my gratitude to my family, especially my father, Billy Me Carron for their patience whilst I completed my studies. Finally, this project is dedicated to the loving memory of my mother, Anne Me Carron, who died 11th November, 1997, RIP. SYNOPSIS In the modem world, there are a proliferation of media choices available to the discerning, (and not so discerning), audience. It is a rare moment indeed when, in the crowded television, radio and print media schedules, something approaching a united front occurs, and only one subject is debated, only one topic is talked about, everywhere. The number of times this has happened could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The death of Diana, Princess of Wales was one such media moment. For those of us who were not around for the death and funeral of John F. Kennedy, this was the first media-event we experienced, in terms of the tragic death and funeral of such a world famous person.
