Finding Aid to the Collection of James Brendan Connolly Materials
No full textThe Connolly Collection contains the writings and personal library of James Brendan Connolly (1868-1957).

The Analgesic Potential of Music for Pain
No full textThe importance of personal choice in music listening interventions for pain management has been replicated across several high-quality studies and meta-analyses (Bradt et al., 2015; Basiński, et al., 2021; Lee, 2016; Tsai, et al., 2014). More recently, the role of perceived choice has been shown to increase pain tolerance in an experimental setting using the cold pressor task as a proxy for pain (Howlin & Rooney, 2021). The main aim of this study is to test the extent to which the finding that perceived control of music increases pain tolerance extends beyond a lab setting. This study will also explore whether there are additional analgesic benefits from music that is specifically designed and composed to relieve pain at a population level. In line with models of empirical aesthetics, music complexity will be examined as a mediator of analgesic benefits, due to enhanced engagement mediated by optimal complexity. Finally, this study will examine the role of individual attributes, namely musicality, empathy, and age, in mediating the analgesic benefits for pain

Class, Sexuality and Nationalism: Identity Building in the Prose Writing of Brendan Behan
No full textNathalie Lamprecht Abstract Class, Sexuality and Nationalism: Identity Building in the Prose Writings of Brendan Behan focuses on Irish author, playwright and rebel Brendan Behan's prose fiction. It uses notions of Irish autobiography, memory and narrativity in order to analyse his collected short stories, his only crime novel The Scarperer and his columns, originally published in the Irish Press, as well as his most extensive work, the autobiographical novel Borstal Boy. Due to the autobiographical nature of most of these texts, throughout this thesis biographies of the author function as co-texts. The aim of this thesis is to find out how Behan uses the themes of class, sexuality and nationalism in order to create identity in his prose. Mostly, the author is critical of his time's accepted version of Irishness, creating characters principally based on himself that do not fit the mould
