Neighborliness and Decency, Witchcraft and Famine: Reflections on Community from Irish Folklore
Many examples of Irish folklore reflect and instill enduring conceptions about the workings, vulnerability, and viability of community, which is understood to be a doing, a project in need of continual maintenance. Arguably, there has been no more devastating blow to the vernacular understanding of community as social contract for mutual support than the mid-nineteenth-century Famine in Ireland. If folklore provides models for contemplating and r…

Storytelling on the Northern Irish Border: Characters and Community
Stories may begin as entertainment, but in fact they can actually portray change in the way of life. Through careful ethnographic observation, Cashman (English and folklore, Ohio State Univ.) uses stories to capture life in Aghyaran, a small town on the northern Irish border. He analyzes the stories and the traditions of ceilis (i.e., get-togethers) and wakes, offering a glimpse into a community and its social life as he contemplates the lasting …
Visions of Irish Nationalism
Murals, graffiti, flags, and annual commemorative parades are common in urban Northern Ireland where Irish Catholic nationalists and British Protestant unionists use these vernacular forms of custom and material culture to reiterate their differential identities in terms of ethnicity, denomination, and politics. Rural areas, on the other hand, present a very different visual scene with far fewer public visual displays broadcasting political messa…
Dying the Good Death: Wake and Funeral Customs in County Tyrone
One Saturday morning, about three months after settling into Ballymongan townland, I woke a bit late and groggy from a music session in Eugene O'Donnell's kitchen the night before. I wandered outside to appreciate some rare sunshine and was greeted with a flat tire. Resigned, I crouched down to try replacing it without the benefit of proper tools and soon saw my neighbor Danny Gallen coming to greet me. I assumed that he was coming to offer me a …

From Corrib to Cultra: Folklife Essays in Honour of Alan Gailey (review)
The introduction and seventeen articles that comprise this festschrift in honor of folklife scholar Alan Gailey are lucidly written, informative, and founded on meticulous research.

The Heroic Outlaw in Irish Folklore and Popular Literature
As a symbolic figure in Irish folklore and popular literature, the outlaw embodies folk morality in conflict with the self-interest and inequity of the state. In the aftermath of British colonisation, the Irish outlaw is represented as more than a criminal. He provides a hero through whom ordinary Irishmen and women can vicariously enjoy brief victories, and imagine their collective dignity in the midst of political defeat and its consequences. L…
