Fascism, Strongmen, Populism, and Football
In the twenty-first century, populism has become one of the dominant terms for understanding how politics functions. This article explores the concept of populism in the context of longer standing debates relating to the definition of fascism and argues that the scholarly framing of populism has undergone a similar trajectory to that which came to dominate fascist studies. While such debates and definitions are useful in understanding what is mea…
Female Inmates
In this study coping with imprisonment among female inmates, and how it relates to experiencing separation from family and friends, is being explored. Data was collected via a survey of 194 female inmates in a Northeastern state correctional facility for women. The self-reported data included the Brief COPE assessment, as well as demographic and “contact” variables: visits, phone calls, and letter writing. The findings indicate that female prison…

Translation in Ireland
Islands are often utopian sites and Ireland has been no exception in this respect. A crucial dimension to the utopian project is not only space but time. The article discusses the specific nature of time in modernity and how this is challenged by the practice of translation in Ireland and elsewhere. Insularity as a material and ecological reality has implications for the political destinies of islands such as Britain and Ireland which have existe…
Routledge International Handbook of Irish Studies
Routledge International Handbook of Irish Studies begins with the reversal in Irish fortunes after the 2008 global economic crash. The chapters included address not only changes in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland but also changes in disciplinary approaches to Irish Studies that the last decade of political, economic, and cultural unrest have stimulated. Since 2008, Irish Studies has been directly and indirectly influenced by the crash and its reverbera…

The Gaelic Athletic Association Oral History Project
The Gaelic Athletic Association is Ireland’s largest sporting and cultural organisation. Between 2008 and 2012 the Association funded a large-scale oral history project of its membership, which is now freely accessible online. The project is one of the largest sports specific oral history projects undertaken in the world to date. This article explores the development, scope and function of the project, and then considers the issues that are conne…
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
Entrepreneurship in an Amateur World
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is unusual in the world of contemporary sport. While at the organizational level it is wholly corporate and follows standard global models of maximizing revenue from media deals and sponsorship, the players remain entirely amateur. As a result, rather than profits being removed from the organization in terms of dividends, the income is recycled through the grassroots of the organization so that local communit…
Paul A. Townend. The Road to Home Rule
In recent years, the output of historians of Ireland has, in many ways, been overly focused on the years of the Irish revolution, 1916–1923, and the attendant marking of the centenaries of that tumultuous time. Much of this work has analyzed how the Easter Rising of 1916 led to a mass radicalization of Irish nationalism that would culminate in the victory of Sinn Féin and the dissolution of the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) after its near compl…
The imperial game in crisis
The world of cricket was often presented as a microcosm of England itself and more widely of the British Empire. The problem for English cricket in the post-war and post-colonial era was how to modernise and adapt. Understanding how the game appeared to lose its authority and become part of John Major's 'heritage' England requires two approaches. The first looks at the ideological baggage cricket brought with it and how the Village cricket' visio…
Eco-Translation
Ecology has become a central question governing the survival and sustainability of human societies, cultures and languages. In this timely study, Michael Cronin investigates how the perspective of the Anthropocene, or the effect of humans on the global environment, has profound implications for the way translation is considered in the past, present and future. Starting with a deep history of translation and ranging from food ecology to inter-spec…
Loss, Protest, and Heritage
This article examines the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 that led to the deaths of 96 people and the long protest by the Hillsborough families in the search for justice. In April 2016, a special Coroner’s Court ruled that the Hillsborough dead had been unlawfully killed and a campaign for justice that had run for well over two decades was concluded. The paper argues that the protest and justice campaign centred on the Hillsborough disaster was ess…

Not Quite Free? Irish Postcoloniality and the Career of Pat O'Callaghan
This paper explores the career of the Irish Olympian Pat O'Callaghan. He won successive hammer-throwing titles in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics as a representative of the independent Irish state. The paper argues that in these Olympics, O'Callaghan can be considered as representing a postcolonial state, in line with much scholarship on other aspects of Irish culture. However, the Irish later fell into a dispute with the International Amateur Athleti…
Sport
Sport is big business, international in nature, and the focus of much media and cultural attention. Sport: A Very Short Introduction charts the history of sport, from its traditional origins in folk football and cock fighting to its position as a global phenomenon today. Looking at a variety of sports from team games such as rugby, cricket, and football to games for individuals such as golf, tennis, and skiing, it considers how these first emerge…

Ireland’s Decade of Commemorations
Beginning with last year’s centennial of the passage of the Third Home Rule Bill, Ireland commenced an extraordinary “Decade of Commemorations,” during which the entire island will recall the anniversaries of crucial historic events: the Dublin Lock-out, the Easter Rising, the “Ulster Sacrifice” of the Somme, Partition, and the Irish Civil War, to name a few. The high-profile public history that will be crafted to mark these events is likely to s…
Who fears to speak in the new Europe? Plurilingualism and alterity
Language difference has become a public focus of debates around the alleged failure of European policies on multiculturalism. Integration into the dominant host language of the community is seen as the only desirable outcome for national language policies. This article argues for a wholly different approach to language alterity, drawing on understandings provided by translation, the relationship between time and place and a social ontology of con…
The rise of the reader and norms in twentieth-century English-language literary translation
Literary translation into English in the twentieth century was the object of much comment. Translators tried to articulate what it was they were trying to do and the norms that governed the choices they made in their work. Reviewers articulated what they found acceptable or unacceptable about the translations they reviewed and theorists from a variety of disciplines used their own investigative tools to account for the phenomenon of translation. …
Altered States
Altered States: Translation and Minority Languages - The linguistic complexity of Europe is often ignored in political accounts of its translation practice. In particular, the historical experience and contemporary fate of European minority languages are overlooked in assessing the translation strategies available to speakers of minority languages. The problem partly results from a failure to think creatively about definitions of minority languag…

Which Nation, Which Flag? Boxing and National Identities in Ireland
This article explores the many conflicting identities which are evident in Irish sport, with special reference to boxing. It is argued that some conventional wisdoms about the links between sport and nationalism are not applicable to the Irish context. It is concluded that while the ideal of a single, unified nation-state is still a contested idea in Ireland sport can only further expose, rather than eliminate, the different identities that exist…

Foreign Fields and Foreigners on the Field
This article explores how Ireland, a country whose history was dominated by emigration, found a place on the global sporting map. The article traces the spread of the global Irish and argues that the tradition of the Irish abroad was to assimilate through sport rather than seek sporting exclusivity. The complexity surrounding Irish and diaspora identities is illustrated through an examination of Irish sporting involvement in international events.…

By adopting method of dress which was so readily comparable with that of the followers of Mussolini and Hitler, the movement was increasingly identified as another of the many shirted movements in interwar Europe. In the 1930s, as today, the wearing of the coloured shirt became synonymous with fascism. In reality the situation was far more comp…

The Gaelic Athletic Association's Invasion of America, 1888
This article explores a little-known event in Irish and American sports history, namely a tour made by the Gaelic Athletic Association to North America in 1888. The article focuses on a newspaper diary kept of the tour by Joseph Whelan, and published in the Irish newspaper Sport. In analysing Whelan's comments, the article seeks to understand how such material can be used to create a microhistory of a specific event such as a sporting tour, and d…

Les Jeux Sont Défaits
The situation of language contact in Quebec has a number of creative consequences, particularly in the area of translation. In the work of Rejean Ducharme and Gerard Bessette, the process of translation is explored in terms of a playful manipulation of French and English. Both writers present English less as a linguistic threat than as a ludic opportunity, pointing to the esthetic possibilities of the macaronic. On a more general level, the writi…

The socio-economic background and membership of the Blueshirt movement, 1932–5
The Blueshirts have been overlooked as a subject for study in recent years by historians. The only major work on the subject, Manning’s The Blueshirts , was written some twenty years ago, and what should have been an excellent launching-pad for further and fuller research into the subject has not been amplified since. Many questions remain undiscussed and unanswered. Historians have toyed with the subject of the Blueshirts’links with fascism, but…

Global, parochial, still anti‐imperialist and Irish
As the end of the 1990s, indeed as the close of the millennium approaches, one of the major conflicts of the Western world still to be resolved is that of Northern Ireland. True, the guns on the streets have fallen silent, and the stockpiles of semtex have not been used in the last three years by the main paramilitary groups. Yet problems still endure. Punishment beatings, knee‐cappings and other forms of intimidation are still common amongst bot…

Shoring up the Fragments of the Translator's Discourse
L'auteur analyse le paradoxe que constituent, en théorie de la traduction, la nécessaire reconnaissance de l'inachèvement de toute traduction et l'exigence d'une approche globale. Il commence par poser que le phénomène de perte ne doit pas être stérilement dénoncé mais compris comme inhérent à la nature de la traduction marquée par ses limites. La notion de séparation lui sert à préciser ce point sur le plan psychologique, de même que l'exemple p…
Sport and postcolonialism
Compared with modes of representation such as literature, drama, poetry and dance, the world of sport has been largely neglected in postcolonial studies. At both local and global levels, however, sport has been profoundly affected by the colonial legacy. How are individual nations and different sporting cultures coping with this legacy? What does the end of colonialism mean within particular states and sports? How is postcolonialism linked with s…

The State on Display
The Irish Free State that was brought into existence in 1922 was not the state that had been dreamt of by the insurgents of 1916, nor the state imagined by those that had fought in the Anglo-Irish War. The new state was partitioned, and many of those who remained true to the idea of the republic sought to challenge the Treaty settlement through force of arms in a bitter and bloody civil war. Even after the truce of 1923, the Cumann na nGaedheal g…
