{"title":"Dancing enriched whiteness: race and gender in commercial Irish dance performance from <i>Riverdance</i> to the Trump Inaugural Ball","authors":"Kathryn Holt","doi":"10.1080/09670882.2023.2268549","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09670882.2023.2268549","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn January 2017, Michael Flatley introduced male members of the cast of Lord of the Dance performing at President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Ball. Flatley’s decision for the cast to perform at the Inaugural Ball was widely criticised as showing support for a white nationalist president. In this article, I demonstrate how this performance – and the implicit aligning of Irish dance with white American nationalist rhetoric – were not aberrant but in fact followed a trend developed in commercial Irish dance stage shows of the late 20th century. Through an analysis of the early performances and rhetoric surrounding Riverdance and Lord of the Dance in the mid-late 1990s, I demonstrate how Irish American whiteness is performed in these shows and directly contributes to Irish American identity as a form of what Diane Negra calls “enriched whiteness.” I further argue that the Inaugural Ball performance built on this history, embodying white nationalist hypermasculinity through the use of Irish dance and American nationalist projections alongside the exclusion of women.KEYWORDS: Irish danceIrish Americawhitenessgenderrace Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. “Flatley ‘proud’ to introduce dancers at Trump inauguration,” RTÉ, January 21, 2017, https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2017/0119/846093-michael-flately-could-be-dancing-for-trump/.2.

In Ireland, research on parenting support has been limited, highlighting the relevance of reviewing the interventions available. The objective of this study was to provide an overview of parent- and child-focused policies and research-supported parenting interventions for families with children up to six years old in Ireland. First, the Irish context is described in terms of comparative statistics, and parent- and child-focused policies and services. Second, research-supported parenting interventions are analysed in terms of characteristics and potential to support families at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The identified interventions included elements that have been considered to be effective in parenting support, such as a focus on prevention, addressing more than one area of need, easily accessible services, and continuity between universal and targeted provision. These elements are discussed in the context of Ireland.","PeriodicalId":88531,"journal":{"name":"Irish studies review","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135854948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Irish English and Irish Studies: exploring language use and identity through fictional constructions of <i>laddism</i>","authors":"Cassandra S. Tully, Anne Barron, Carolina P.

In the Irish communicative system, one present-day type of collective masculine identity is that of “the lads.” Previous studies on “laddish” behaviour and performance from literary or social perspectives explored conduct in contexts such as sports, violence, sex, or alcohol. To encourage interdisciplinary research in the field of Irish Studies, this paper analyses the language of “the lads” in literary discourse through corpus linguistics as a contribution to the field of digital humanities. Fourteen novels make up the specialised corpus on which the analysis is based paying attention to verbs of speech and adverbs. The verbs show utterances by “the lads” illustrating and providing aggressiveness and adverbs provide a second layer of meaning. Finally, a number of power struggles these characters experience in interaction are studied to differentiate the status quo of “the lads.”KEYWORDS: Corpus linguisticsIrish StudiesmasculinitiesIrish Englishlads AcknowledgmentsMany thanks to the authors and publishers who granted access to the novels in online format and the copyrights to analyse their novels: John McGahern’s publisher Florence Rees, Paul Murray, Roddy Doyle, and Dermot Bolger.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

The columns’ engagement arose from Ireland’s experience of brutal influenza seasons and, in particular, the 1957–58 pandemic, known at the time as the Asian Flu. The pandemic’s virus killed approximately over a million people worldwide, but until our recent, COVID-inspired interest in historical outbreaks, has received very limited critical engagement. In this article I take Flann O’Brien’s The Dalkey Archive as a case study through which to explore literary studies’ amnesia regarding medical history, specifically the 1957–58 pandemic, subsequent influenza outbreaks, and associated bacterial complications. Weaving together O’Brien’s correspondence, journalism and final completed novel, I propose a new way of understanding The Dalkey Archive, one that deprioritises its connections to politics and presents it instead as a response to the symptoms and strains of pandemics and outbreaks.KEYWORDS: Flann O’BrienMyles na gCopaleen1957–58 pandemicinfluenzabreathmedical history Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. “No Asian ‘Flu Before 1967,” Irish Press, 10 December, 1963, 7. Total deaths in Ireland from the influenza epidemic in 1951 were 2,399, which at the time was the highest recorded figure since 1937 (An Roinn Sláinte, Tuarascáil an Árd-Chláraitheora 1951, 7).2. Myles na gCopaleen is the name under which Brian O’Nolan, sometimes better known as Flann O’Brien, wrote the Cruiskeen Lawn columns. O’Nolan’s various pseudonyms complicate citational practices, but accepted best practice by the Flann O’Brien Society is to refer to the author’s life and general writings under his real name, while using his pseudonyms to refer to his various publications. Thus, O’Nolan worked for the Civil Service, O’Brien wrote At Swim-Two-Birds and Myles (the first name is preferred) wrote Cruiskeen Lawn.3. na gCopaleen, Cruiskeen Lawn, 22 January, 1951, 4.4.
