“Our Gaelic Department”: The Irish-Language Column in the New York Irish-American, 1857-1896
Abstract
This dissertation provides a narrative history of “Our Gaelic Department,” an Irish-language column that ran in the New York Irish-American newspaper for nearly forty cumulative years. This was the first weekly column printed in the Irish language in the world; “Our Gaelic Department” not only provided a weekly forum for Irish immigrants to discuss and debate issues of Irish language, nationalism, and politics, it also assisted in forming an international public sphere, in which students and scholars could participate in the development of a transatlantic Irish identity. The department was instrumental in providing educational material for the Philo-Celtic Societies, and it offered an outlet for members of these Irish organizations to submit written Irish. Although often neglected in the scholarly record, the Irish in America were forerunners in what became known as the Gaelic Revival, with the publication of “Our Gaelic Department” helping to forge a revivalist consciousness among the Irish in America, as well as in Ireland.
Appended to the dissertation is an index of nearly 1500 first lines of poetry printed in the Irish-American. Many of these poems have not been previously indexed. Also appended is a selection of Irish prose compositions to “Our Gaelic Department,” including manuscript transcriptions, folklore, translated literature, and formal Irish-language addresses
Is Full Employment Possible Under Globalization? (revised)
No full textTo honor the life work of Professor Sumner Rosen, this lecture examines approaches to promoting full employment at decent jobs within our contemporary era of globalization. The lecture briefly summarizes the theories of unemployment of Marx, Friedman, Keynes and Kalecki. It then addresses the meaning of full employment within the alternative theories and under different historical and country settings. It next considers the issue of the inflation/unemployment trade-off, and the Meidner-Rehn Swedish approach to inflation control under full employment. It concludes by presenting a sketch of something approximating a full employment program for the contemporary U.S. economy, focusing on ending the Iraq war and reallocation public spending toward health care, education, and green growth.�full employment, globalization, theories of unemployment, inflation
The metric tun : standardisation, quantification and industrialisation in the British brewing industry, 1760-1830
No full textThis thesis considers the British beer-brewing industry around 1800 as a case study exploring current themes in the history of science and technology: the imposition of
reliable standards, the use of instruments and quantities, and the nature of industrial growth. I begin by addressing Michael Combrune, author of the first thermometric
brewing account, showing the influence of Boerhaavian fermentation theory and the eighteenth-century agenda for "commercial chemistry" on his work: Combrune's
fellow brewers, however, did not generally rely on the chemical scheme of management he had established, developing instead highly localised thermometric
operations which did not challenge established understandings. Next, I consider the determination of beer strength, focusing here on the brewer John Richardson's
innovation of the saccharometer, a gravimetric philosophical instrument. I show how Richardson presented both the device and the quantity in which it was scaled, later termed the `brewer's pound, ' as offering brewery-specific advantages, in order to ensure its acceptance whilst at the same time denying its roots in the disputatious field of spirits hydrometry. Richardson did not achieve his wider goal of monopolist control over the device, but his project of saccharometric determination was widely taken up, contributing to a significant change in the composition of beer, as brewers moved from using traditional brown- malts to the saccharometrically preferable pales. This development is then reviewed in the context of an analysis of the identity of London porter, the staple brown beer of London: I investigate the relationship of porter's identity to the uniquely vast and industrialised plants which produced it. Finally, I highlight the ambiguous nature of appeals to `science' or `chemistry' before 1830 by discussing the widespread contemporary panic over adulteration, popularly assumed to
be practised by those who associated with chemists and did not pursue a `traditional' approach to brewing. This controversy was settled, I contend, only with the later
development of a common laboratory-analytical context between brewers, pharmacists and public analysts who were able to redefine the concept of adulteration itself
