Migrants and Cultural Memory: The Representation of Difference
ISBN: 9781443811149 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume explores the discourses and representations that have circumvented the image that is the Traveller, the Roma (Gypsy) and migrant “Other”. It is generally acknowledged that the globalisation and mass-media dissemination which characterise the current era have overseen a range of complex socio-cultural forces, many of which have blurred the once-reified borders of the post-Enlightenment, “modern”, nation-state. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of cultural diasporas and “traditionally”- nomadic groups such as Travellers, Roma and other migrant cultures. This...

Migrants and Memory: The Forgotten “Postcolonials”
ISBN: 9781847183446 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 145 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume hopes to act as a new marker in the areas of Irish Studies and Migration/Diaspora Studies. It is also, in part, an attempt to give a voice to communities who have frequently found themselves on the margins of the so-called “mainstream” community - the hidden Irish, the hidden European, the migrant, the nomad that reflects the changing face of the “new” and “immigrant” Europe. The scholars and activists writing here have engaged with the questions of ethnicity, identity, racism, cultural expression and the new historiography that characterises those newer disciplines...

New Perspectives on the Irish Abroad: The Silent People?
ISBN: 9780739183717 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The relationship between Ireland and the diversity of its diasporas has always been complex and multi-layered, but it is not until recently that this reality has really been acknowledged in the public sphere and indeed, amongst the scholarly community generally. This reality is partly a consequence of both "push-and-pull" factors and the relatively late arrival of globalization trends to the island of Ireland itself, situated as it is on the Atlantic seaboard between Europe and the US. Ireland is changing however, some would say at an unprecedented speed as compared with many of its...

Postcolonial Artist: Johnny Doran and Irish Traveller Tradition
ISBN: 9781847184412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 105 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The postcolonial experience, as explored by the authors of this volume, focuses on the complex set of cultural and ethnographic processes and strategies of resistance that are the diasporic or migrant Irish experience. As a minority inhabiting the margins of society, Irish Travellers frequently found themselves excluded to the periphery of those unitary constructions of Irishness that accompanied the early decades of Irish independence. Straddling the Traveller/Settled divide, Johnny Doran, whose career reached its zenith in the 1940s, was one of the foremost Irish Traveller artists to have...

Soundweaving: Writings on Improvisation
ISBN: 9781443853446 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "This book is about music improvisation. It forges exciting and provocative new links between a range of theories and practices in texts that explore topics as varied as object-oriented ontology, game theory, ethical responsibility and breath. In improvisatory fashion, this book has been edited so that it weaves the texts amongst each other, subversively inserting a tactile piece of text - a text interlaced, as a woven cloth, among the contributing authors. The writings in this volume are both timely and diverse, exploring as they do an array of interdisciplinary and critical discourses,...

American “Outsider”: Stories from the Irish Traveller Diaspora
ISBN: 9781847183927 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of all of the world’s countries, America is the one that we all think we know. World globalization and the dominance of English language and American idiom makes us secure in our “knowledge” of what the United States is and who her people are. This book jettisons all such pre-conceptions. It affords a window on the American experience that eschews many of the hackneyed representations of old. It throws back the curtains on the hidden lives of a people who quietly live along the dusty weave of a Mid-West highway. Small towns, woods and wayside stops. Like passengers in the rear of the...
