DIO SALVI IL RESTAURO. L’apporto inglese alla cultura della conservazione dei monumenti
2020
Sebbene già riuscissimo a percepire quanto rilevante fosse l’apporto inglese per aver contribuito alla definizione del restauro modernamente inteso, sino ad oggi mancavano ancora sia una chiara visione d’insieme delle articolate vicende connesse all'affermazione dei princìpi conservativi, sia una più approfondita conoscenza delle fonti documentarie, necessarie al fine di tracciare i profili culturali dei protagonisti e scandagliarne i contributi teorici. La ricostruzione delle vicende è sviluppata entro margini temporali estesi all'incirca per tre secoli, dalla fine del Seicento al principio del Nove-cento, e strutturata attraverso la traduzione e lo studio di testi perlopiù mai circolati i…
Urban regeneration and the economic crisis: past development and future challenges in Dublin, Ireland
2012
Among the medium to larger-sized European cities, Dublin is emblematic of the social and physical impacts of urban economic restructuring. During the economic boom of the nineties the Dublin area benefited of large investments, particularly in the services sectors, and large areas in the inner city were interested by significant process of physical regeneration. This article analyses the general trends in urban development in Dublin, focuses in particular on a case study of the docklands area which provides empirical evidence of the city’s development trajectory, and discusses the key challenges that face future urban development in the city.
Striking a Balance among Security, Privacy and Competition. The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIP)
2015
Following the ECJ decision that declared the Data Retention Directive invalid, the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIP) has been enacted. It is not indisputable whether the DRIP gives more powers to the intelligence services at the detriment of both citizens’ privacy and freedom of enterprise or whether it simply clarifies the nature and extent of obligations that can be imposed on telecommunications service providers based outside the UK under Part 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). The article provides news also on Data Retention Regulations 2014, R (David Davis MP and Tom Watson MP) v Secretary of State for the Home Department and the proposed…
Parity of Esteem: A Conceptual Approach to the Northern Ireland Conflict
2010
This article applies a method of conceptual analysis to understand peace processes in a divided society. Through the analysis of the concept of parity of esteem, this article examines some neglected dimensions of conflict studies, including politicizations, contestations and politicking involving key concepts in peace processes and conflict resolution. The analysis focuses specifically on politics in Northern Ireland, but it also seeks to inform a more general understanding of the dynamics of peace processes and conflict reconciliation.
Digital Soil Mapping in the Irish Soil Information System
2009
Harmonised soil data across Europe with a 1:250 000 geo-referenced soil database will allow for exchange of data across member states and the provide the information needed by the European Commission and European Environment Agency for reporting on issues relating to soil quality under a fu-ture Soil Framework Directive. Within this context, the Environmental Protection Agency of the Republic of Ireland commissioned a project run by Teagasc to produce a 1:250 000 soil map of the Republic of Ire-land. Delivery of this map and associated database is a collaborative effort between Teagasc, the National Soil Resources Institute at Cranfield in the UK and University College Dublin. Environmental…

Contemporary performance art by Helena Walsh: embodiment as empowerment in an Irish context
2016
Ever since the 1970s, performance artists have used their bodies as a means to question the patriarchal control of women. In Ireland, where the body is at the center of debates over contraception, abortion and divorce, feminist performance art has proved particularly pertinent to substitute the real experiential body to the allegorical or fetishized female body. Through her performances, Helena Walsh incites the viewers to respond to the effect of ideology on the physical body. Embodiment, impersonation and incorporation make the body explicit and reopen historical wounds.
Lin et lignes retissés : De la réappropriation de l’histoire dans « Cloth » de Rita Duffy et Paul Muldoon
2020
International audience; This paper focuses on Cloth, A Visual and Verbal Collaboration by Paul Muldoon and Rita Duffy. Muldoon’s poetic text and Duffy’s paintings were commissioned by the Millennium Court Arts Centre in Portadown in 2007 to feature in a collaborative exhibition and catalogue under the general banner “Interrogating Contested Spaces in Post-Conflict Society”. Duffy’s images and Muldoon’s prose poem – which subtly echo W.B. Yeats’s poem “Cuchulain Comforted” – are all about delineating and crossing borders between domestic and institutional spaces; personal and political spaces; garments, skin and psyche; violence and peace; etc. Duffy’s images of vestments, shirts or handkerc…
The British-Irish Border in the Context of Brexit
2020
Przedmiot artykułu stanowią rozważania dotyczące konsekwencji Brexitu dla funkcjonowania granicy pomiędzy Irlandią a Irlandią Północną. Autor wyjaśnia, czym jest ta granica w warunkach, kiedy Wielka Brytania nie jest już członkiem Unii Europejskiej, a więc przebieg tej granicy może stanowić barierę dla swobodnego przepływu osób, towarów, kapitału i usług. Artykuł jednocześnie podkreśla, że wyjście Wielkiej Brytanii z Unii Europejskiej będzie miało istotny wpływ na zmianę funkcji tej granicy, która od tej chwili nie będzie już wewnętrzną, lecz zewnętrzną granicą Unii. Celem artykułu jest zatem analiza konsekwencji tej zmiany z równoczesnym wskazaniem różnych modeli funkcjonowania Wielkiej Br…
A tipper full of skinned limbs : fiction and the Northern Ireland Troubles
2013
This article discusses the potential of a fictional story, a novel, to challenge political narratives in a divided society. I will analyse three novels set during the ”Troubles” (1960s-1998) in Northern Ireland, looking at the ways in which each novel navigates the narrow space between Northern Irish unionism and nationalism, the two dominant narratives in Northern Ireland. I will read the novels politically, interpreting them as rhetorical narratives holding the power to challenge commonplace assumptions. I will apply the ideas put forward by James Phelan concerning the inherent rhetorical nature of narrative in fiction. I will also present Ann Rigney’s concept of cultural memory as an ana…
