Culture and Society: Critical Essays in Human Geography
On the colonial frontier: Gender, exploration and plant‐hunting on Mount Victoria in early 20th‐century Burma
In April 1922 Charlotte Wheeler‐Cuffe was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. This honour was in recognition of her contribution to plant hunting and exploration, botanical illustration and anthropological knowledge accumulated about Burma during the quarter of a century (1897–1922) she spent there with her husband as part of the colonial service. While historical geographers have acknowledged that the colonies, in particular, oft…

A royal encounter: Space, spectacle and the Queen's visit to Ireland 2011
This commentary reflects on the first official visit made by a British monarch to Ireland since its independence. Focusing on three key moments of Queen Elizabeth's itinerary - the Garden of Remembrance, the Irish National War Memorial, Islandbridge, and the state banquet, Dublin Castle - I suggest that efforts to simultaneously honour rebels/soldiers in acts of public remembrance sought to re-position the past between these two islands in ways w…
The contours of memory in post-conflict societies: Enacting public remembrance of the bomb in Omagh, Northern Ireland
Drawing on the theoretical insights of Paul Ricoeur this paper investigates the geographies of public remembrance in a post-conflict society. In Northern Ireland, where political divisions have found expression through acts of extreme violence over the past 30 years, questions of memory and an amnesty for forgetting have particular resonance both at the individual and societal level, and render Ricoeur's framework particularly prescient. Since th…

Grand design(er)s: David Moore, natural theology and the Royal Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin, 1838-1879
Geographers have increasingly been investigating the role of space in the regulation and constitution of a range of scientific discourses from historical studies of natural history societies and zoological gardens to analyses of contemporary biotechnology industries. It is abundantly clear that geographical location and the spatial relationships underpinning such institutions form more than the material stage on which scientific activity takes pl…
Cultivating science and planting beauty: The spaces of display in Cambridge's botanical gardens
Geographers have begun to take seriously the spatial chords that underpin the making of scientific knowledge, exploring the journeys that science makes across a variety of material and intellectual spaces. The role of aesthetics in the translation and display of scientific knowledge has been relatively neglected however. Consequently this paper seeks to highlight the significance of questions of beauty in the ordering of plant displays in the dev…

Fictional journeys: Paper landscapes, tourist trails and Dublin's literary texts
Recent geographical analyses of literary texts have broadened the scope of inquiry from descriptive to critical interpretations of literature. Building on these existing insights in this paper I seek to focus on James Joyce's Dublin. Specifically, I wish to address how the navigational matrix presented in his novels provides a means for interpreting the city. This paper focuses on how the Dublin of Joyce intersects with travel accounts about Irel…
Making Space
The publication of Reg Hindley’s book, The Death of the Irish Language: A Qualified Obituary (1990), sounded the death-knell for one of the central tenets of cultural policy in Ireland over the last hundred years. Supported by official statistics, census reports and survey material, Hindley suggests that the Irish language no longer has a role in the ‘modern’ world, that it is doomed to extinction within another generation in the Gaeltacht (Irish…

The Cartographies of Violence: Belfast's Resurrection Man
In this paper I seek to examine the relationships between fiction, violence, and the geographical imagination through an analysis of Eoin McNamee's debut novel Resurrection Man. In dealing with a universal theme-the will to kill-but set in 1970s Belfast and narrating the existential journey of a gang of Loyalist killers in their campaign of violence across the city, I suggest that this novel presents the modern city and the characters who inhabit…
Where Geography and History Meet: Heritage Tourism and the Big House in Ireland
With tourist activity expected to become the largest source of employment by the end of the millenium, this paper examines heritage tourism, its framing of history, and its relationship with narratives of national identity. Challenging analyses which suggest that the heritage industry merely presents a sanitized or bogus version of the past, I present an instance in which an historical icon is presented to a popular audience in a provocative and …

Sculpting Heroic Histories: Celebrating the Centenary of the 1798 Rebellion in Ireland
In this paper I explore the role of public statuary in constructing a heroic analysis of the past through an examination of the centenary celebrations staged to commemorate the 1798 rebellion in Ireland. Monuments entered the arena of public, secular space in Ireland mainly during the nineteenth century. It was not until the latter decades of that century that nationalist statuary, which sought to elaborate Ireland's quest for political independe…
