Worksheet on Mediation – Answer Key Mediation Ireland 7 Worksheet on Mediation – Answer Key Text: Ralf Sotscheck, “Ballyvaughan, ein Ort zum Verlieben”, Merian, Feb. 2011, available online at http://www.merian.de/magazin/irland‐ballyvaughan‐ein‐ort‐zum‐verlieben.html (Please copy and paste this hyperlink into your browser.) B TASK Imagine an Irish friend of yours (e‐pal or exchange partner) has just written you an e‐mail. She has found the article “Ballyvaughan, ein Ort zum Verlieben” at the website of the German magazine Merian. As she herself lives near Galway, not too far away from Ballyvaughan, she would like to know what this German journalist has to say about life in a small Irish town or village. She has asked you for help because her German is not good enough to understand everything. She is especially interested in the context of the Irish dialect word “culchie” and she is curious to learn how it came about that a German author has fallen in love with a village near her home. Write ca. 300‐350 words. Please copy and paste this hyperlink into your browser to access the German text: http://www.merian.de/magazin/irland‐ballyvaughan‐ein‐ort‐zum‐verlieben.html Ballyvaughan, a place to fall in love with Dear Siobhan, Of course I can help you with this text. I found it quite interesting myself. Here’s what Ralf Sotscheck writes about Ballyvaughan: About 40 years ago, his personal interest in Ireland began with Irish music, which he came across in folk pubs in Berlin. So he visited Doolin, the “Mecca of folk music”, and it was there that he met Áine, who later became his wife. When they had become friends, they went camping near the village of Fanore. On his travels through Ireland, he came to love Dublin and Belfast, but also a pub that he calls the most beautiful pub on the Irish west coast: “Ó Loclainn’s” in Ballyvaughan. This pub has been a family business for decades – and there is no TV in the pub because its owner says a pub must be there for the patrons’ conversation. © 2011 Langenscheidt KG, Berlin und München Vervielfältigung zu Unterrichtszwecken gestattet. Seite 1 Mediation Ireland After Sotscheck had declared the “Ó Loclainn’s” his favourite pub, his wife surprised him by buying a house in the neighbouring village of Fanore – where the couple had spent their first camping holiday. Initially, the author was shocked by the run‐down state of that house, which had last been used as a cowshed. But when it had been restored and he had got used to the village, he began to love country life, although he had never thought he would develop into a “culchie”, as he self‐deprecatingly calls himself – the German term “Landei” being also slightly negative like the English “country bumpkin”. He also loves the rocky landscape with its special flora, and he even seems to be proud of the rich heritage of sites from the Stone Age and from Christian times that are to be found in that part of Ireland. What makes Sotscheck feel especially at home in Fanore are the people there, e.g. his neighbours. To him, they are proof of the truth of the Irish proverb: “A stranger is a friend you just haven’t met before.”1 I quite like this proverb, don’t you? – If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Yours, <your first name> (342 words) (Peter Ringeisen) 1 Strictly speaking, it does not seem to be a real proverb; many sources attribute that sentence to the great Irish poet and playwright William Butler Yeats (1865 ‐ 1939), quoting him as follows: “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t yet met.” e.g. at http://www.great‐quotes.com/quotes/author/William+Butler/Yeats © 2011 Langenscheidt KG, Berlin und München Vervielfältigung zu Unterrichtszwecken gestattet.

  • 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).
