Second call for papers for the International Congress of Irish Studies ICIS 2 symposium
The re-enchantment of Ireland
Prof Des O'Neill
Prof MacSwiney-Brugha
Prof MacSwiney-Brugha, Dr Des Fennell and Feargus Denman
Arthur Riordan and Melanie O'Reilly
The
frustration experienced by Ireland's public and, indeed, members of the
political class, in the face of a calamitous reality-check amidst the
broader international economic crisis, is often told; equally, the
tentative-to-meek Irish response, almost without protest, in the face of
recent calamity. This panel continues a conversation that has so far
failed to ignite real political impetus in seeking renovation of the
Irish republic.
“Just Once or with improbable frequency: Can the unlikely success of left-field Irish musical theatre be continued?”
In recent years Ireland has produced high caliber musical theatre across genres, from historical science counter-fact
of Improbable Frequency through the biting political satire of Anglo!
Of a sudden, it has seemed, Ireland has a burgeoning tradition in
quality musical theatre. Participants in this panel consider the
possibility of its success being sustained and young talents nurtured in
the present economy of arts.
No-one will be turned away for want of funds.

"Episodes from an incomplete coup"
"Episodes from an incomplete coup"
In the course of the last two decades, lamented failings in Irish political culture an acknowledged democratic deficit at the broader level of the European Union have
been a backdrop to numerous more specific incidents where the
responsibility of the state and public institutions to serve Ireland's
citizenry with impartial prudence has been flouted. These disquieting
patterns and certain particulars will here be discussed.
“To declare a new republic, or not?”
“Just Once or with improbable frequency: Can the unlikely success of left-field Irish musical theatre be continued?”
"Intellectual life, academe and common knowledge in Ireland"
Higher
education in Ireland is under strain, stretched thin by budget cuts and
confused agenda. Intellectual life (whether as vocation or formation)
should serve not only to educate an economically productive populace,
but also the production and circulation of knowledge as a common good.
This panel invites discussants to reflect upon their experience of the
ideal University in Ireland, however imperfectly embodied, not only in
educational institutions, but also in the public sphere, where
journalism and the media are integral to the kind of 'information
economy' that is indispensable for real democracy.
The deadline for abstracts, which can be up to 300 words, is Oct 5 2013; however, potential participants for the panels and indeed proposals for other panels will be accepted until Oct 15.
There is a suggested fee of 40 Euro per session, 100 Euro for all sessions.
Cheques should be made payable to Nous Research, Dublin 4.
Students are encouraged to attend any single session of especial interest without payment.Cheques should be made payable to Nous Research, Dublin 4.
No-one will be turned away for want of funds.
