  • Crossing Derry Crossing Water Always Furthered Something
    Simpson.qxd 17/10/2013 09:41 Page 63 63 Crossing Derry Crossing water always furthered something When quoting this line by Seamus Heaney, Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister, registered several points. He was speaking in Derry at a party for volunteers in Fleadh 2013, the all Ireland music festival which was held Tony Simpson ‘north of the border’ for the first time and had attracted some 400,000 visitors to the city during five days in August. Heaney had died a few days after the Fleadh (pronounced ‘fla’), on 30 August. His loss is keenly felt in Derry, where he attended St Columb’s College as a boarder during his early teenage years. There his passion for poetry and flair for Latin and the classics were nurtured. From a small farm in Mossbawn in south County Derry, he had won a scholarship to St Columb’s, courtesy of the 1947 Education in Northern Ireland Act, passed by the Labour Government of the day, as Heaney himself once remarked. Mr McGuinness was acknowledging Seamus Heaney’s profound contribution to civilization and culture, while also addressing Derry’s divisions and how they are being overcome, literally, by the construction of the new Peace Bridge across the River Foyle. He was speaking a few days after visiting Warrington in the north of England, where he had given the peace lecture which we publish in this issue of The Spokesman. Two boys, twelve- years-old Tim Parry and three-years-old Johnathan Ball, had been killed in an IRA bombing in the town in 1993.

This is especially the case in the city of Derry/Londonderry, where media reported on a car bomb on 19 January 2019, its explosion almost killing five passer-by’s. Only three months later, during Easter, the death of young journalist Lyra McKee shocked the world. International media link these stories to one event that has attracted the eyes of the world: Brexit, and the looming hard border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

What: The biological structure that upholds this principle are gap junctions which are made up of half- channels, and as a dimer comprised of two half-channels, allow passive transport of molecules between adjacent cells. The human-built structure that upholds this principle is the Peace Bridge in Northern Ireland which is a dimeric bridge assembled from two identical half-bridges, allowing pedestrian passage across the River Foyle. How: Gap junctions allow for transport of ions and small molecules directly from cytoplasm to cytoplasm of adjacent cells (Mese et al, 2007).

  • Memory Politics and Reconciliation in the Wake of Ethnic Conflict a Northern Irish Example
    MEMORY POLITICS AND RECONCILIATION IN THE WAKE OF ETHNIC CONFLICT A NORTHERN IRISH EXAMPLE Anne J. Gilliland Information Studies & Moving Image Archive Studies, Department of Information Studies, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), USA ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with the politics of memory and their consequences – how memory in its tangible and intangible forms is understood, performed, and acted upon in the popular imagination, and how it influences contemporary situations and inter- community relationships. Specifically, the paper is concerned with exploring the roles that the politics of memory can play not just in promoting continued community division in the aftermath of ethnic or religious conflicts in regions with complex and layered histories, but also the inverse – in promoting reconciliation. The paper takes as its primary example the multiple co-existing yet divergent accumulating narratives about the past that contributed to the eruption and later to the sustenance of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. After a brief historical review, it examines the experiences of one contemporary case that has been held up locally and internationally as exemplary in redirecting memory politics in support of reconciliation between divided communities – that of Derry~Londonderry, Northern Ireland’s second city and the site of the first violent confrontations of the Troubles. Bearing in mind the concept of “archival reconciliation” proposed by Sue McKemmish et al. with regard

It is an investigation of the importance history plays in the peace process of Northern Ireland. The goal of this study was to assess the success of the Peace Bridge in helping the city to overcome an inherited historical memory. Data was obtained through formal interviews, surveys of users on the bridge, various forms of literature, and participant observation. Through these methods, it can be concluded that the Peace Bridge has successfully increased cross-community interaction in the city.
