"‘Using the old names anew’: Derek Walcott and Graeco-Roman Antiquity"
In this Speaker Series, Dr Justine McConnell explores the ways in which the St Lucian poet and dramatist, Derek Walcott, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature, re-imagines tragedy, epic, and the myths they retell.
Derek Walcott once declared, ‘What is needed is not new names for old things, or old names for old things, but the faith of using the old names anew’. For Walcott, this is a strategy that – far from signalling a derivative aspect in his writing – nurtures the creation of new work that recasts older forms without being overshadowed by them. Famously, Walcott denied that his book-length poem Omeros was an epic, but he went on to qualify that statement by asking us to rethink what we understand by ‘epic’. So too, the title of his drama The Isle is Full of Noises evokes Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but the tale it tells is also of a Philoctetes-figure nicknamed Crusoe and the modern exploitation of St Lucia in the name of tourism; and his early play Ione embeds a mashup of several Greek tragedies (Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Seven Against Thebes, Euripides’ Medea and The Bacchae) within a context of Caribbean oral storytelling.
Contesting the imperial power dynamics European works have often been used to propagate, Walcott contributes to the creation of a new body of Caribbean literature and asserts a place for Caribbean art in a global, transhistorical canon.

Cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL(4,Z) II
No full textAbstractIn a previous paper [Avner Ash, Paul E. Gunnells, Mark McConnell, Cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL4(Z), J. Number Theory 94 (2002) 181–212] we computed cohomology groups H5(Γ0(N),C), where Γ0(N) is a certain congruence subgroup of SL(4,Z), for a range of levels N. In this note we update this earlier work by extending the range of levels and describe cuspidal cohomology classes and additional boundary phenomena found since the publication of [Avner Ash, Paul E. Gunnells, Mark McConnell, Cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL4(Z), J. Number Theory 94 (2002) 181–212]. The cuspidal cohomology classes in this paper are the first cuspforms for GL(4) concretely constructed in terms of Betti cohomology

Attracting and retraining talent: lessons for Scottish policy makers from the experiences of scottish expatriates in Dublin
No full textWith a view to contributing research of value to the Fresh Talent Scotland Initiative, this research project has been devised with specific reference to the first of the three goals noted above. Specifically, it is concerned with gaining insights into why talented individuals leave Scotland in the first instance, and thereafter to ascertain whether anything might be done to both stem the outflow and lure back to Scotland some of its most talented diasporeans. Such a goal in turn begets, it will be argued, greater insights into the actual experiences of contemporary diasporeans in the run up to migration and whilst in exile. Using one emerging magnet for Scottish expatriates as a case study, the Republic of Ireland and more specifically Dublin, the project seeks to examine the embroilment of skilled Scottish expatriates in the so called Celtic Tiger phenomenon. The basic purpose of this report is to present insights into the decision making processes that have led migrants to leave Scotland and to move to Dublin, to gain an appreciation of what life has been like for expatriates living in Dublin and what Scotland might learn from these experiences, and finally to review future locational preferences with a view to establishing whether a return to Scotland may be a possibility
