Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2023Imagining the Irish child
Discourses of childhood in Irish Anglican writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
by Jarlath Killeen
This book examines the ways in which ideas about children, childhood and Ireland changed together in Irish Protestant writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It focuses on different varieties of the child found in the work of a range of Irish Protestant writers, theologians, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and parents from the early seventeenth century up to the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. The book is structured around a detailed examination of six 'versions' of the child: the evil child, the vulnerable/innocent child, the political child, the believing child, the enlightened child, and the freakish child. It traces these versions across a wide range of genres (fiction, sermons, political pamphlets, letters, educational treatises, histories, catechisms and children's bibles), showing how concepts of childhood related to debates about Irish nationality, politics and history across these two centuries.

Fear and Valor in Six Days: : An Israeli Soldier's Testemonial in Perspective
by Yehuda Reves
Fear and Valor in Six Days: An Israeli Soldier's Testemonial in Perspective by Yehuda Reves Through the viewfinder of a bazooka, this book offers a critical view of fear, valor and pride, death and love, friendship and hatred, reality and mystical dreams, faith and the secular, as well, the end and the beginning. Collected here are manuscripts, stories and thoughts written intermittently over a period of more than forty years in the diary of a fighter during and after the battles of the Six-Day War. Portrayed here is a bitter, cruel reality; how soldiers kill, are wounded and die on the battlefield. Here are described facts intermixed with imagination and dreams; a description that illustrates the nature of male society in the Israeli army with its blend of cunning, coarseness and innocence. This book was written on the battlefront of North Samaria; and in the northern Golan Heights. The author served in the armored troops, as a commander of a tank company numbering six vehicles. All these manuscripts were stuck like bullets in the barrel of a gun since the war ended before they were ready to be collected in one volume that now includes the life experience and perspective of additional forty-plus years. Yehuda Reves is a forester who, throughout his entire life, has observed people, trees, shrubs, the soil, and inanimate rocks with unaffected wonder. He was responsible for collecting seeds and for the propagation and planting of trees on behalf of The Israeli Forestry Department. Today, he travels and works in the reproduction of wild Mediterranean plants. The author served in the Israeli reserve army as a junior officer for 32 years and has fought in four wars. He is married and has two daughters and nine grandchildren. 190 pages,14.5 x 21 cm

Acht moderne Theaterstücke
by Thomas Brasch, Per Olov Enquist, Franz Jung, Else Lasker-Schüler, Heiner Müller, Gerhard Roth, Botho Strauß, Erwin Sylvanus, Heiner Gimmler
Thomas Brasch montiert in »Der Papiertiger« Texte, die er in den letzten Jahren in der DDR geschrieben hat. Die Grundsituation: Eine Gruppe, die vor Jahren eine Revolution oder einen Kinderladen machen wollte, spielt sich Erfahrungen vor, da sie keine Öffentlichkeit mehr finden können, zelebrieren sie ein Ritual. Der Ausbruch und die Rückkehr ins Kollektiv gehören dazu. Eingeschoben sind Szenen, in denen die Verweigerung von Herrschaft durchgehalten wird. Per Olov Enquist konstruiert in der Biographie von August Strindberg eine Szene: Strindbergs geschiedene Frau und ihre Freundin proben einen Einakter von Strindberg. Strindberg wohnt der Probe bei. Der Einakter interpretiert gemeinsame Erfahrungen, und die Erprobung auf der Szene, während die Vergangenheit durchschlägt, korrigiert Strindberg. Die Story ist ein Vehikel, die Verstörungen der Männer durch womans lib, die Ängste und neuerlichen Rückzüge den Beteiligten vorzuspielen. Franz Jung schrieb »Heimweh« 1927 für Erwin Piscator. Das Stück - zunächst eine Südseekolportage - liest sich wie ein Film, fremde, schöne, unverständliche Bilder. Der Text, mehr Vorlage denn Literatur, wäre im Film gleichwohl nicht auflösbar, er sucht in der Körperlichkeit das Unausgesprochene, die Unruhe, die die Menschen weitertreibt, als ihren besten Teil.Else Lasker-Schüler schrieb »Die Wupper« 1909. Herbert Ihering schrieb 1913: »Alles ist Sinnlichkeit, Bild und Farbe. Am Anfang steht dasselbe Gefühl, das Else Lasker-Schülers Lyrik geboren hat. Verzückungen sind unter die Oberfläche gestiegen. Ekstasen leben als verdeckte Energiequellen fort. Der Raum ist eine Vision der Gestalten.« Heiner Müller schrieb sein »Friedrich«-Stück 1975/76. Vorangegangen waren »Die Schlacht« und »Germania«: Stücke über die Fähigkeit der Deutschen zum Faschismus. Bleibt die Frage nach ihrer Schulung, die Jahrhunderte ungebrochener preußischer Übung, Jahrhunderte auch der Ohnmacht von Literatur. Gezwungen zur Onanie.Gerhard Roth schrieb »Die Sehnsucht« 1976. Er konfrontiert Menschen, die so obsessiv mit ihrem eigenen Ich beschäftigt sind, daß sie keine Erfahrungen machen können. Die Gespräche verkommen zu Monologen, Zuwendung wird zum taktischen Spiel. Hinter den Lügen, Vortäuschungen und Maskierungen lebt die Sehnsucht nach neuen Erfahrungen.Botho Strauß schrieb »Bekannte Gesichter, gemischte Gefühle« 1974. Das Stück handelt von drei Ehepaaren, die alle untereinander liiert waren, und Karl, der einen Autounfall überlebt hat, der zaubern kann. Sie leben in einem entlegenen Hotel. »Leidenschaften bewahrt dieses Museum kaum noch auf, höchstens ein paar häßliche Überreste davon.« (Benjamin Henrichs)Erwin Sylvanus schrieb das Stück »Victor Jara« 1976, zwei Jahre zuvor reiste er durch Chile. In der Biographie des Sängers schildert er den Kampf der Chilenen für ihren sozialistischen Weg.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2009The making of the Irish poor law, 1815–43
None
by Peter Gray
The making of the Irish poor law, 1815-43 examines the debates preceding and surrounding the 1838 act on the nature of Irish poverty and the responsibilities of society towards it. It traces the various campaigns for a poor law from the later eighteenth century. The nature and internal frictions of the great Irish poor inquiry of 1833-36 are analysed, along with the policy recommendations made by its chair, Archbishop Whately. It considers the aims and limitations of the government's measure and the public reaction to it in Ireland and Britain. Finally, it describes the implementation of the Poor Law between 1838 and 1843 under the controversial direction of George Nicholls. It will be of particular importance to those with a serious interest in the history of social welfare, of Irish social thought and politics, and of British governance in Ireland in the early nineteenth century. ;

Science & MathematicsJuly 2018British and Irish Butterflies
An Island Perspective
by Roger L H Dennis, Peter B Hardy
Islands are special places; they can be havens for unique plants and animals and refuges for wildlife. This book investigates the biogeography of butterfly species over the British islands, particularly the factors that influence their presence on the islands and that have made each island's butterfly fauna distinctive. The book contains a full log of records of species on the islands and much supporting information. The first three chapters set the scene, illustrating the basics of island biogeography theory, their changing circumstances during the current Holocene interglacial, and studies of natural history of British butterflies that mark the islands as the most intensively studied region for wildlife in the world. The book advances by increasing resolution downscale from a European continental perspective, through patterns and changes on the British mainland, a comparison of the two dominant islands of Britain and Ireland, to a close inspection of the dynamics of species on the multitude of offshore islands. Detailed investigations include contrasts in species' richness on the islands and then of the incidences of each species. Case studies highlight the continual turnover of species on islands. Attention is then given to evolutionary changes since the time that glaciers enveloped Europe. A powerful message is conveyed for the maintenance of butterfly species on the smaller British islands now experiencing population losses at a rate unprecedented since the spread of the last ice sheets: the incontrovertible importance of maintaining populations of species on nearby mainland sources for islands as pools for future migrants.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2009Re-evaluating Irish national security policy
Affordable threats?
by Michael Mulqueen
On the afternoon of September 11 2001 the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach), Bertie Ahern ordered the 'heads of the security services of key government departments' to undertake a complete re-evaluation of measures to protect the state from attack. Hence, underway within hours of the 9/11 outrage in the United States was potentially the most far-reaching review of Irish national security in decades. This book, the first major academic investigation of Irish national security policy as it has operated since 9/11, provides a theoretically informed analysis of that re-evaluation and the decisions which have been taken as a consequence of it up until September 2008. In so doing it draws on unprecedented access to Ireland's police, security and intelligence agencies; over twenty senior personnel agreed to be interviewed. Theoretically the author demonstrates the utility to the analysis of national security policy of three conceptual models of historical institutionalism, governmental politics and threat evaluation. The text is of interest to scholars of Security Studies, International Relations and Politics, as well as state and NGO personnel, journalists and general readers. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The West must wait
County Galway and the Irish Free State, 1922–32
by Una Newell
The West must wait presents a new perspective on the development of the Irish Free State. It extends the regional historical debate beyond the Irish revolution and raises a series of challenging questions about post-civil war society in Ireland. Through a detailed examination of key local themes - land, poverty, politics, emigration, the status of the Irish language, the influence of radical republicans and the authority of the Catholic Church - it offers a probing analysis of the socio-political realities of life in the new state. This book opens up a new dimension by providing a rural contrast to the Dublin-centred views of Irish politics. Significantly, it reveals the level of deprivation in local Free State society with which the government had to confront in the west. Rigorously researched, it explores the disconnect between the perceptions of what independence would deliver and what was achieved by the incumbent Cumann na nGaedheal administration.
