Conflict, humour and reconcilement in Palestine, Israel and Northern Ireland
This article studies humour as a cultural form of meaning-making in the complex space of ethno-religious-national conflict and its aftermath. In the context of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and in view of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the author examines the ways in which humour, as deployed by Lisa McGee and Sayed Kashua in their TV shows and in Emile Habiby’s The Secret Life of Saeed , disrupts the given narratives of a place. …
Cultural Peace Work in ‘Post-Conflict’ Northern Ireland
While regarded as an exemplar of a successfully resolved conflict since the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement in 1998, Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided place. The discord between Republican and Loyalist nationalisms persist as a legacy of the structural and spatial segregation of the Partition of Ireland (1922) and the ethno-national conflict known as the Troubles (1968–1998). So how are people who live in the region encountering and perform…
Simulating South Asia: Literature, culture and belonging in Ireland
The South Asian diasporas living in Ireland are a growing and vibrant community. Historical and cultural connections, particularly between Ireland and India, are central in the burgeoning relationship between the two regions. Cultural exchange is also a flourishing trend, as are associations in science, technology and education. In Ireland, South Asia is increasingly represented by the diasporic population in the literature, film and other arts, …

The challenges to effective outcome evaluation of a national, multi-agency initiative: The experience of Sure Start
This article uses the example of Sure Start, a national initiative introduced by the UK Government in the late 1990s, as a case study to explore the reasons why large-scale, complex, national initiatives often fail to adequately evidence the impact of their work. The authors explore a range of structural, cultural, methodological and practical factors that have acted to inhibit effective evaluation of the impacts of Sure Start. They argue that th…
Fragmentary Evidence”: The Struggle to Narrate Partition
In the gaping absence of public memorials or museums dedicated to the Partition of India the narration of this traumatic story is vital to its commemoration.Yet the tragedy of the violent events of 1947, which saw mass displacement, death, abduction and rape, is punctuated by silence.Such silence is comparable to that surrounding the Holocaust, which is the focus of Shoshana Felman and Dori Laub"s invaluable work
Excuse Me While I Turn this Upside-Down: Three Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare
By examining three recent theatrical adaptations of Shakespeare by three Canadian authors (Ann-Marie MacDonald, Margaret Clarke and Djanet Sears), this article discusses the ways in which the plays re-write and re-appropriate Shakespeare for contemporary postcolonial North America, in defiance of the conservative Bard constructed by Ontario's Stratford Festival. This article demonstrates how, despite their superficial differences in focus, all th…
