America in Ireland
While the impacts of Irish emigration to America following the Great Famine of 1845–1852 have been well studied, comparatively little scholarly attention has been paid to the effects of reverse migration on Irish culture, society, and politics. Inspired by the work of historian David P. B. Fitzpatrick (1948–2019) and forming a companion to his final published work The Americanisation of Ireland: Migration and Settlement 1841–1925 (Cambridge, 2019…
Money and Irish Catholicism
In the decades after the Great Famine, from about 1850, the Irish Catholic Church underwent a 'devotional revolution' and grew wealthy on a 'voluntary' system of payments from ordinary lay people. This study explores the lives of the people who gave the money. Focusing on both routine payments made to support clerical incomes and donations towards building the vast Catholic infrastructure that emerged in the period, Money and Irish Catholicism of…
Shibun to keisei
The study of literary Sinitic (aka Sino-Japanese) literature of the Edo period (1603–1868) has waxed and (often) waned in the post–World War II era, but in this third decade of the twenty-first century, signs of renewed vitality have emerged. The four works discussed below amply demonstrate the potential for this field to contribute not only to remapping the considerable proportion of premodern Japanese literature that lies outside of the canon o…
The Catholic Church and investor capitalism in late-nineteenth century Ireland
The Catholic Church embarked upon an ambitious project of property development in the nineteenth century that transformed the Irish built environment and landscape. People responded energetically to fundraising drives for churches, convents, monasteries and welfare-focused institutions. The acquisition of significant property and substantial capital by the Irish Catholic Church was a major source of its power, which continued into independent Ire…
AI/ML in the Sonic Arts
This commentary considers the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to music and the sonic arts. It critiques the classical computational theory of mind (CCTM), a doctrine deriving from functionalism, which codifies the “mind” as a mathematical function in which the symbolic representations of the internal mental world are mapped onto states and circumstances in the external physical world. This approa…
The Kyoto School and Sound Art
This paper explores the thought of key Kyoto School philosophers Nishida Kitar_ō, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani Keiji as a novel framework through which to consider the historical development and philosophical underpinnings of sound art. Connections and divergences between these thinkers and key developments in the history of sound art are analyzed and explored. After an introduction to Kyoto School thought, the intersections between the Kyoto Sch…
Interview
Nao Tokui is an artist, researcher, and DJ who has been finding interesting new ways of integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques into his eclectic body of work since 2015. Stephen Roddy talked with Nao about his approach to AI in his own work and where he sees the relationship between AI and musical creativity going in the future
The Philosophical Proposition “A Piercing Glance Elevates the Mind” and the Buddhist Thought in Zong Bing's “Preface to the Painting of Landscape”
“A Piercing Glance Elevates the Mind” is a philosophical proposition offered by Zhou Yong (?–493) in his debate with Zhang Rong (444–497) over the similarities and differences between Daoism and Buddhism. The appearance of this previously unknown proposition shows that as early as the Liu-Song dynasty (420–479) writers already went beyond the limitations of the native Chinese conception of “image” (xiang) and consciously applied Buddhist concepts…
Spaces of Space-making
More than 3000 Catholic churches were built in Ireland in the century after the granting of Emancipation in 1829, with, as many historians have affirmed, a notable augmentation in the scale, elaboration and 'magnificence' of those constructed in the 'devotional revolution' period after 1850. 1 Such increasingly grand edifices had somehow to be paid for, and while the Church found multiple new ways to tap into contributions from its resident congr…
Signal to Noise Loops
This article introduces the Signal to Noise Loops project, which consisted of a series of performances and installations that took place worldwide between 2017 and 2022. The project utilized open data from a network of Internet of Things sensors placed around Dublin, Ireland, in the context of experimental music performance and composition. This network was underpinned by a theoretical framework from the field of cybernetics that united and integ…
The stakes of religious fundraising
What impacts does the transition from a land-based to predominantly cash-based economy have on the fundraising strategies of religious institutions? What new opportunities does it present and what moral debates and dilemmas does it prompt? What is at stake? This article explores these questions through examples from two very different contexts: the Irish Catholic Church in the nineteenth century and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in late twentieth …
Histories of religious fundraising
This special issue brings together a series of articles addressing histories of religious fundraising across a diverse range of religious and geographical contexts and historical periods. This guest editors’ introduction situates the issue within the broader literature on religion and economy, reflecting on the new perspectives that the study of religious financing can offer, particularly when considered across different cultures and times. We th…
Johnnie Got His Gun, While Liang Took Up the Plough
A Love of Labor
From the mid-Tang through the Qing dynasty, poets employed the short-lyric form known as zhuzhici [bamboo branch lyrics] to write, first and foremost, about ordinary people going about their daily lives in China and elsewhere in the Sinosphere. This article explores how early developments in this genre prepared the ground for what later emerged as an arguably proto-ethnographic mode – that is, both poetry and accompanying prose annotations based …
Locating the Backstage of Victorian Religion
This introduction to the ‘Spaces of Irish Catholicism’ Roundtable argues that applying the concept of ‘space’ to nineteenth-century Irish Catholicism has the potential to offer significant new insights to our understandings of Irish Catholicism and the lives of ordinary Irish Catholics, but also to Victorian Studies and religious history more generally. In particular, it contends that the nature of Irish Catholicism in the later nineteenth centur…
Heroes Play by the Rules
The prominent classicist and educator Yu Yue (1821–1907) argued, often doggedly, on behalf of the worth and relevance of the examination essay (specifically the eight-legged essay or bagu), to the extent of even producing a popular essay primer as late as the 1880s. This article charts some of the twists and turns of his intellectual odyssey from youthful practitioner to the author of model essays for his grandson (who placed third [tanhua 探花] in…
The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870–1912
This book examines the business of charity – including fundraising, marketing, branding, financial accountability and the nexus of benevolence, politics and capitalism – in Britain from the development of the British Red Cross in 1870 to 1912. Whilst most studies focus on the distribution of charity, Sarah Roddy, Julie-Marie Strange and Bertrand Taithe look at the roots of the modern third sector, exploring how charities appropriated features mor…

Welcoming the stranger
Welcoming the stranger: Irish migrant welfare in Britain since 1957." Irish Studies Review, 24(3), pp. 372–373
Population, providence and empire
The book knits together two of the most significant themes in the social and cultural history of modern Ireland - mass emigration and religious change - and aims to provide fresh insight into both. It addresses the churches' responses to emigration, both in theory and in practice. The book also assesses how emigration impacted on the churches both in relation to their status in Ireland, and in terms of their ability to spread their influence abro…
An Anglican British World The Church of England and the Expansion of the Settler Empire, c. 1790–1860, written by Joseph Hardwick
The Charity-Mongers of Modern Babylon
This essay sheds new light on the supposedly familiar world of Victorian philanthropy by considering charity in relation to market regulation. Focusing on the “charity fraud,” we suggest that in the shaping of this exclusive and paradoxical marketplace, charities eagerly seized fraud denunciations to advertise and authenticate their legitimacy. This reflected the massive changes in the charitable world since the days of paternalist social relatio…
Humanitarian accountability, bureaucracy, and self-regulation
This paper contains a systematic exploration of local and national archives and sources relevant to charities and humanitarian fund appeals of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras (1870-1912) in Great Britain. It shows that the charitable world and humanitarian work share the same matrix and originate from the same roots, with considerable overlap between fundraising for domestic charity and overseas relief. These campaigns engaged in crucial se…
Henry Mayhew at 200 – the ‘Other’ Victorian Bicentenary
marked the bicentenary of two prolific British authors' births. One was fe ted with high-profile media events, exhibitions, festivals, performances and royal patronage. 2 The other received rather more humble homage: an enthusiast gathering in a London pub and a small symposium at the University of Manchester. 'Charles Dickens 2012' occupied the national and international stage for much of the year; 'Mayhew at 200' was positively modest. The cele…
Anti-fat, pro-slim, or both
Two measures of implicit attitudes, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), were compared with each other and with a measure of explicit attitudes in the assessment of implicit pro-slim/anti-fat bias. Results from both implicit tests indicated higher levels of bias than revealed by the explicit measure. The IRAP data suggested that it was participants' pro-slim rather than anti-fat bias, which …

Spiritual imperialism and the mission of the Irish race
The idea of an ‘Irish empire’ has had enduring appeal. It was a rare source of pride promoted by politicians and churchmen during depressed periods in independent Ireland, particularly the 1950s, and the phrase provided an evocative title for at least one popular – and notably sanguine – version of the Irish diaspora's story as late as the turn of this century. In such contexts ‘Irish empire’ can appear simply a wry play on a far more commonly us…

Facial reactions reveal that slim is good but fat is not bad
Facial electromyography (EMG) was used to gauge emotional responding towards images of slim and overweight individuals, and findings were compared with data from a series of alternative measures including two implicit attitudinal procedures, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and explicit measures of anti‐fat prejudice and discriminatory behavior. Images of slim individuals elicited EMG re…
