Exhuming memory: Miguel Hernández and the legacy of fascism in Spain
Each March in Orihuela in the province of Valencia, Spain, there is a festival of mural painting in honour of local poet Miguel Hernández. For long the poet, who died in a fascist jail in 1942, had been publicly unacknowledged, but now his life, his work and his political involvement as a Republican political activist are openly displayed. How Hernández is remembered provides a powerful example of the struggles between memory and forgetting in po…

Picturing peace: Murals and memory in Colombia
The painting of murals and graffiti is a widespread and well-established practice in Colombia. Most of the artwork is not directly political. However, a significant number of murals speak directly to the political problems of the society; to the protracted violent political conflict and the emerging peace process in Colombia. That articulation varies through different regions in Colombia, depending on the balance of forces between guerrillas, for…
Messages of allegiance and defiance: The murals of Gaza
Behind the iron grip which Israel maintains on the Gaza Strip, there exists a vibrant tradition of painting murals and graffiti on outdoor walls. The origins and contemporary form of this tradition are considered in this article. The painting of murals and graffiti in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has its roots in the first intifada which began in 1987. As part of the resistance to Israeli occupation and repression, young people, at great pers…
Civilising the Irish
Taking Norbert Elias' work on the concept of civilisation as their cue, the authors explore the long history of the 'civilising process' in Ireland, showing how a dichotomy between the civilised and the barbarians is central to English colonialism there. Examining comparative examples such as the colonisation of North America and Australia, justifications of the violence of the colonisers are surveyed to show their reliance on the idea of civilis…
From Good Friday to Good Relations: Sectarianism, racism and the Northern Ireland state
This article addresses the nature of contemporary racism and sectarianism in Northern Ireland in the context of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) and its outworking. It responds to the increasing dominance of the 'good relations' model for understanding and addressing race and sectarian division in Northern Ireland. It debunks the gathering support for the notion that Northern Ireland is somehow 'post-sectarian' - finding instead a state formation …

Si le racisme a ete importe en Irlande a travers l'emigration, d'autres contextes comme le mouvement revolutionnaire ou internationaliste, par c…
Why Truth? Why now
Assembling the jigsaw: Truth, justice and transition in the North of Ireland
The article critically examines the arguments for and obstacles facing the possibility of a truth commission in relation to the Northern Ireland conflict
This is not a Rebel Song: The Irish Conflict and Popular Music
The article examines how different genres of popular music - rock, pop, punk, folk, reggae and rap - have tackled the issue of the Northern Ireland conflict. The conclusion is that the relatively small number of songs about such a protracted conflict, along with the superficial treatment of the subject in a number of songs, would seem to confirm the impression that popular music is quite inept when it comes to such major political themes
Are the Irish black
Culture as a battlefield: Political identity and the state in the North of Ireland
L'A. montre que la question culturelle en Irlande du Nord constitue un enjeu majeur. Il analyse l'influence de l'identite politique et de l'Etat en ce domaine. Il etudie le lien entre culture et resistance. Il examine l'attitude de l'Etat unioniste face a la partition de l'Irlande. Il compare la culture unioniste et la culture loyaliste. Il souligne que l'Etat en Ulster s'efforce de promouvoir un mythe celui de l'equilibre culturel entre communau…

Mothers, whores and villains: Images of women in novels of the Northern Ireland conflict
The article considers representations of women in popular novels of the Northern Ireland conflict and concludes that the fictional roles for women are confined to three major ones: women who are biologicaly determined as mothers to be unequivocally committed to peace; women who are not themselves violent but entice their sons and grandsons into violence; and women who, when they break from their 'nature' as peacelovers, become more violent than m…
