Narrating the nation? : post-colonial perspectives on Patrick Kavanagh's 'The great hunger' (1942) and Brendan Kennelly's 'Cromwell' (1983)
Get PDFThe nature of Irish post-colonialism is not fixed. The
chronological periods surrounding the colonial era in Irish
history are relatively unproblematic, but the real debate emerges
in the analysis of the effect of the colonial era on perceptions
of national identity and how these perceptions were altered or
underpinned in the post-colonial nation state. The complexities
involved in accurately defining the coloniser and the colonised,
the colonial identity and the post-colonial identity, serve to
illuminate the fact that these concepts are based on
interpretations of complex and unresolved relationships which
have emerged over hundreds of years. To arrive prematurely at
definitive conclusions as to their nature only serves to
perpetuate stereotypes beyond which the post-colonial debate must
move. The best that can be hoped for is that a reasonable and
sustainable position can be found in relation to the larger
question of Ireland's complicated post-colonial identity. The
nature of Irish colonisation and its consequences require the
examination of the plurality of possible interpretations. There
are no fixed boundaries but rather a series of relational
positions which must be occupied on the nature of possession and
dispossession, cultural connectedness and dislocation and
consequent perceptions of national identity
Finding Aid to the Collection of James Brendan Connolly Materials
Get PDFThe Connolly Collection contains the writings and personal library of James Brendan Connolly (1868-1957). The collection includes Connolly\u27s reminiscences, newspaper articles, and galley and page proofs as well as scrapbook clippings. There are also notebooks containing holograph notes on schooners and the navy, letters from Connolly\u27s personal correspondence, and books from Connolly\u27s personal library. James Brendan Connolly (1868-1957) was an Irish-American author of sea-related stories, novels, and nonfiction such as The Book of the Gloucester Fishermen. Born in South Boston, he attended Harvard and was a medal-winning athlete in the first modern Olympics, held in Athens in 1896. He participated in the Siege of Santiago as a member of the 9th Regiment, ran for the 12th Congressional District (South Boston) seat as a member of the Progressive Party in 1914, and worked as a correspondent for such publications as Scribner\u27s, Harper\u27s and Collier\u27s

The Deployment of Protocol Stack Components Using Web Services
No full textMultimedia has varying optimal transport methods. The traditional methods employed by transport protocols are to ship all data through identical protocol stacks. An ideal method would transport each media through an optimized stack constructed solely for that medium, allowing improved multimedia QoS to be achieved even at runtime. Dynamically composable protocol stacks overcome the limitations imposed by generic protocol stacks. A dynamically composable protocol stack allows optimization for particular traffic. Here, protocol layers such as real-time G.711 or PCM conversion capabilities could be deployed to address the impedance matching across heterogeneous receivers. Protocol layers are created by the protocol stack (using a Protocol Profiler) according to a properties argument defined when creating an instance of Stack. The SOAP is a lightweight remote procedure calling protocol for the exchange of structured data in a decentralized environment. SOAP enables programs to run and interoperate with other SOAP applications (called Web services) in a distributed environment. The SOAP protocol is based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Hypertext Transmission Protocol (HTTP), which, it is claimed, makes it a language- and platform-neutral vehicle for RPC over the Internet and through firewalls. This paper describes a SOAP Web service deployed on an apache Tomcat server that enables clients to download protocol stack components as MIME attachments. The deployment middleware framework is named Webber. Webber provides additional flexibility that can be extremely useful for environments that have not been considered by standard generic protocols.</p

Updated paleomagnetic Petermann stack (inclination, declination, relative paleointensity, Virtual Geomagnetic Pole) from Petermann Fjord (Nares Strait, Northern Greenland)
No full textThis paleomagnetic stack was built using cores AMD1902-10GC (data available in PANGAEA, Girard et al., 2024), cores OD1507-04GC, OD1507-41GC, OD1507-40TC (data available in MagIc, Reilly et al., 2019). The stack was calculated as follow: Bin widths of 5 cm CED were used to calculate the Fisher mean of the directions with N the number of cores contributing to the stack for each calculation. The virtual geomagnetic pole (VGP) coordinates were calculated assuming stack declination rotation of 125 degrees +/- 20 degrees
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
