"The Given Note": Traditional Music And Modern Irish Poetry, Seán Crosson Dr. Oct 2008

"The Given Note": Traditional Music And Modern Irish Poetry, Seán Crosson Dr.

Seán Crosson

The oldest records indicate that the performance of poetry in Gaelic Ireland was normally accompanied by music, providing a point of continuity with past tradition while bolstering a sense of community in the present. Music would also offer, particularly for poets writing in English from the eighteenth century onwards, a perceived authenticity, a connection with an older tradition perceived as being untarnished by linguistic and cultural division. While providing an innovative analysis of theoretical work in music and literary studies, this book examines how traditional Irish music, including the related song tradition (primarily in Irish), has influenced, and is apparent …

The Organismic State Against Itself: Schelling, Hegel And The Life Of Right, Joshua D. Lambier Apr 2008

The Organismic State Against Itself: Schelling, Hegel And The Life Of Right, Joshua D. Lambier

Joshua D Lambier

Focusing on the political thought of Schelling and Hegel – beginning with the early texts (1796–1802), then moving briefly to Hegel’s well known Philosophy of Right (1821) – this essay revisits the Romantic-Idealist theory of the organic state by returning to its genesis in the turbulent political, cultural and scientific debates of the post-Revolutionary period. Given the controversial nature of its historical (mis)appropriations, the organic idea of the state has become synonymous with totality and closure. This essay argues, however, that the contemporary rejection of organicism relies on narrow interpretations of Romantic and Idealist notions of organic life, interpretations that …

Traditional Music And Song And The Poetry Of Thomas Kinsella, Seán Crosson Dr. Jan 2008

Traditional Music And Song And The Poetry Of Thomas Kinsella, Seán Crosson Dr.

Seán Crosson

Music and song are both important influences on, and themes in, the poetry of Thomas Kinsella. His poetry also features several individuals associated with music, none more frequently than his close friend, the composer Seán Ó Riada, a central figure in the revival in popularity of Irish traditional music since the 1950s. This paper charts some significant developments in Kinsella's work from the late 1950s, and indeed, intriguing parallels, and shared emphases, apparent in the comments and work of both Kinsella and Ó Riada. For Kinsella, his experience of traditional song - described in his poem 'The Shoals Returning' - …

The Erotics Of Mercantile Imperialism: Cross-Cultural Requitedness In The Early Modern Period, Carmen Nocentelli Jan 2008

The Erotics Of Mercantile Imperialism: Cross-Cultural Requitedness In The Early Modern Period, Carmen Nocentelli

Carmen Nocentelli

This article explores the early modern vogue for intermarriage narratives, arguing that cross-cultural unions served as both a crucial instrument of and a privileged metaphor for European imperialism. Adapting medieval precedents to the exigencies of colonial governance and mercantile penetration, plots of interracial requitedness exorcized the specter of European “degeneration” abroad and legitimized the subordination of countries from which enormous profits could be extracted. At the same time, these popular narratives bolstered a regime of domestic heterosexuality that increasingly confined eroticism within the bounds of marriage. With their exotic backdrops and amorous exploits, they celebrated heteropatriarchy while racializing practices and …
