Shadow Lives
The decades that followed Irish independence witnessed a doubling down of efforts to reinforce established gender roles and conservative systems of power in the fledgling state. The tensions that emerged between the cosmopolitanism outside of Ireland and the increasingly isolationist policies within found suitable expression in the contradictory treatment of Kate O’Brien’s work, lauded outside of Ireland, yet subjected at home to the stringent ce…
Vexed in the city
Carrie Bradshaw, heroine of HBO’s Sex and the City , remains a talking point of pop culture. Tutued flâneuse , Bradshaw succeeds a long line of unconventional, feminist pathfinders, of whom Maeve Brennan’s Long-Winded Lady is arguably an early archetype. In her New Yorker dispatches, Brennan’s semi-autobiographical ‘dandette’ enacts a repudiation of the patriarchy by staking a claim to the public space of the city. This paper traces the resistant…
Typology and distribution of small farms in Europe
The contribution of small farms to local food supply, food security and food sovereignty is widely acknowledged at a global level. In the particular case of Europe, they often are seen as an alternative to large and specialised farms. Assessing the real role of small farms has been limited by a lack of information, as small farms are frequently omitted from agricultural censuses and national statistics. It is also well acknowledged that small far…
High nature value mountain farming systems in Europe
The reintroduction of the white-tailed sea eagle to Ireland
The influence of farming styles on the management of the Iveragh uplands, southwest Ireland
Changes in agriculture and the environment in an upland region of the Massif Central, France
Landscape planning and community participation
Issues relating to community participation in landscape management, as well as the manipulation of the community for political ends, are addressed. It is argued that the current fashionable participatory model of development and policy formulation requires closer scrutiny and may be unrealistic in certain contexts. A case-study approach is adopted, whereby the role of the community in attempts to construct a visitor interpretative centre at the f…
The Reintroduction and Reinterpretation of the Wild
The reintroduction and reinterpretation of the wild
Changing identities, changing landscapes
Agriculture is no longer the sole or principal activity in many hitherto rural areas, resulting in a redefinition of rural spaces which involves multiple actors and multiple variables, ranging from agriculture to tourism, forestry, nature conservation, landscape and heritage. Nowhere is this land-use conflict more apparent than along the shores and hills of the Mediterranean. This paper explores the changing relationship between society and envir…
The causse mejan
The effects of modern agriculture on the environment, and the agrarian over‐exploitation of natural resources, have been well documented. This paper presents an alternative scenario more akin to the decoupling of agriculture from the environment, and the impact this is having on both biological diversity and landscape interpretation. By taking the case study of the Causse Méjan, an isolated plateau within a French National Park, the historic and …
