Narrating Irish Female Development, 1916-2018 (Edinburgh UP, 2024) studies narratives of Irish female and feminized development, arguing that these postmodern  narratives present Irish female maturation as disordered and often deliberately disorderly. The first full-length study of the Irish female  coming of age story, the book develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology, derived from the belated oedipalization of Joyce's bildungsheld, to read these stories. This study argues that all Irish maturation stories are shaped by the uneven and belated maturation story  of the Irish republic itself, which took as its avatar the Irish woman,  whose citizenship in that republic was unrealized, as indeed was her citizenship in an Irish republic of letters. Dougherty takes the writing  of Irish women as seriously as other critics have taken Joyce's work. Discusses texts by James Joyce, John McGahern, Hannah Lynch, Kate O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Dervla Murphy, Clare Boylan, Nuala O'Faolain, Eavan Boland, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Eimear McBride, Éilís ní Dhuibhne, Melatu Uche Okorie, and Soula Emmanuel Examines the form, narration, and content of fictional, non-fictional, and national narratives Develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology Synthesizes historical, sociojuridical, feminist, post-colonial, and literary historical narratives of Irish development Jane Elizabeth Dougherty is Professor in the School of Literature, Writing and Digital Humanities and affiliate faculty in the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

Acclaimed author of ‘Small Things Like These' and ‘Foster', Claire Keegan, joined Brendan to talk about her childhood, the beauty of pigs, fame and she also chose five songs that have meant something special to her throughout her life.

Description: Jeff Chu, an award-winning journalist, author, and "sort-of-kind-of farmer," joins Jen on the For the Love podcast to discuss his book, Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand. In the book, Jeff shares stories from his time at “The Farminary”, a twenty-one-acre working farm at Princeton's Theological Seminary, where students explore life's biggest questions while cultivating the earth.  Jeff reflects on his own struggles with faith, identity, and the expectations placed upon him as a gay man raised in a conservative Christian environment. His journey reveals the challenges of cultivating, not just plants, but also a spiritual life that is authentic, evolving, and inclusive​.  In this conversation, Jeff, Jen and Amy discuss:  What Jeff learned at the “Farminary” about creating “good soil,” drawing lessons from the rhythms of growth, decay, and regeneration that define life on the land Finding moments of grace and healing. Challenging traditional interpretations of the biblical Parable of the Sower Exploring faith, not as something static, but as something that evolves. Thought-provoking Quotes: “God's love is that lavish and it's there for you. And it doesn't come with the conditions that you might have. It doesn't require you to do anything more than you've already done. It just requires you to be. God's love is big enough to hold that, and your mess, and your beauty, and your frailty, and anything else you might bring to God.” – Jeff Chu “I see folks trying to figure out how to create belonging, not just for themselves, but also for others, and being willing to ask those tough questions out loud, and being brave enough to say, I don't know, but I wonder. Being bold enough to point out not just the ugly things, but also to name the beautiful and hopeful things. Those are all things that give me hope.” – Jeff Chu #JeffChu #GoodSoil #ForTheLovePodcast #SpiritualJourney Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Community First Village / Mobile Loaves and Fishes - https://mlf.org/community-first/ Genesis Gardens - https://mlf.org/genesis-gardens/ 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/4kZZmjN Actually Believing God Loves You Changes Everything: Jeff Chu - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-16/actually-believing-god-loves-you-changes-everything-jeff-chu/ Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand by Jeff Chu - https://amzn.to/4kXozLJ Wholehearted Faith by Rachel Held Evans and Jeff Chu - https://amzn.to/4iZlOrA Does Jesus Really Love Me?: A Gay Christian's Pilgrimage in Search of God in America by Jeff Chu - https://amzn.to/4bZH91N March: Book One by John Lewis - https://amzn.to/4c6xmXI Travel and Leisure magazine editor-at-large - https://www.travelandleisure.com/author/jeff-chu Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan - https://amzn.to/446LUo5 Padraig O'Tuama, poet - https://www.padraigotuama.com/ Kitchen Hymns by Padraig O'Tuama - https://amzn.to/4ccPFdV Maggie Smith, poet - https://maggiesmithpoet.com/ In The Shelter: Finding a Home in the World by Padraig O'Tuama - https://amzn.to/4ccNNBL Jeff Chu's Good Soil Book Tour - https://byjeffchu.com/tour Guest's Links: Website - https://byjeffchu.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/byjeffchu Twitter - https://x.com/jeffchu Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/byjeffchu Substack - https://byjeffchu.com/contact#substack Connect with Jen!

Yeah, these kids are crazy. Yeah, they are a lot…and take a lot out of us. But aren't they also the best? 

V kinih se je zavrtel novi film o delovanju samostanov sester magdalenk na Irskem. Take majhne stvari je posnet po noveli Claire Keegan, postavljen pa je v čas sredi 80.let prejšnjega stoletja. Pogovarjamo se z Olgo Kosanović, režiserko dokumentarca Še zdaleč ne lipicanci. V filmu, ki je bil na ogled v okviru Festivala dokumentarnega filma v Ljubljani, je vzela pod drobnogled birokratski sistem, vezan na pridobivanje avstrijskega državljanstva, obenem se v njem sprašuje o čustveni plati tega, da imaš ali nimaš državljanstvo države, v kateri bivaš. Poročamo tudi o pravkar minulem festivalu dokumentarnega filma v Solunu.

Že več filmov je bilo posvečenih pralnicam, ki so jih na Irskem vodile sestre magdalenke med 18. in poznim 20. stoletjem. Tja so družine poslale nespodobne ženske, dekleta – ocenjujejo, da je bilo teh okrog 30 tisoč – ki so bile pravzaprav zastonj delovna sila. Marsikatero dekle je tam rodilo nezakonskega otroka, ki ga ni smelo obdržati. Šele leta 2014 se je država uradno opravičila za početje teh samostanov. Spomnimo se filma Sestre magdalenke režiserja Petra Mullana ali Philomene v režiji Stephena Frearsa, zdaj pa je o tej temi po noveli Claire Keegan nastal film Take majhne stvari v režiji Tima Mielantsa. Recenzijo je pripravil Gorazd Trušnovec, bere Dejan Kaloper. Družinski oče Bill Furlong se preživlja kot trgovec s premogom na irskem podeželju. Ko okrog božiča 1985 dostavi premog v lokalni samostan, v kleti najde premraženo nosečo mladostnico. Medtem ko se začne poglabljati v zlorabe, ki se skrivajo za zidovi samostana, se sooča tudi z lastnimi travmami iz otroštva, ko je moral v konservativnem okolju odraščati kot potomec matere samohranilke. Irski koprodukcijski film Take majhne stvari pod taktirko belgijskega režiserja Tima Mielantsa je bil premierno prikazan na lanskem Berlinalu in temelji na noveli irske pisateljice Claire Keegan. Filmski fabuli se sicer rahlo pozna, da temelji na kratki zgodbi, vendar je delo v sebi zaključena celota. Na filmskem platnu igralsko dominira Cillian Murphy; pravzaprav se celovečerec osredotoča predvsem na notranji svet njegovega molčečega Billa Furlonga. Je v tem uspešen? Da in ne. Skozi njegovo pretežno pasivno ravnanje spoznamo zelo natančno izrisan mikrokozmos, tako zasebni kot družbeni, toda avtorskim postopkom bi lahko očitali, da gledalca vse preveč neposredno vodijo za roko, da bi delo zraslo v nekaj zares presežnega. Kljub nekaj zanimivim elipsam in režijskim odločitvam kot gledalci vsa spoznanja dejansko dobimo postrežena na pladnju; še večinoma monokromatska paleta krompirjastih, sepija tonov vsaj enako kot k morečemu vzdušju prispeva k občutku instantne stiliziranosti. Pa še za božič se dogaja, razumete? Seveda vse te jasne poante v ničemer ne zmanjšujejo teže grozljive dediščine katoliških zlorab tekom 20. stoletja na Irskem, ki jih je leta 2002 odmevno izpostavil že celovečerec Sestre Magdalenke škotskega avtorja Petra Mullana. V tem pogledu je tudi ogrodje filma Take majhne stvari večna zgodba borbe posameznika proti sistemu. Če smo rekli, da je v igralskem smislu to v celoti film Cilliana Murphyja, pa gre v pozitivnem smislu izpostaviti, da je to vendarle delo o ženskah in skozi pripoved spretno preigra številne vloge, ki so jih morale igrati ali jih še vedno igrajo na življenjski poti Billa Furlonga: od njegovih petih hčera in ljubeče soproge, preko njegove mame in njene delodajalke ter poznejše skrbnice, do »padlih deklet« in sistema represije žensk nad ženskami v samostanu, ki jo pooseblja mati prednica v odlični igralski interpretaciji Emily Watson. Film Take majhne stvari je v celoti soliden in zapusti razumski in čustven odmev. Pred gledalca spretno postavi tudi vprašanje, kako bi ravnal, če bi se znašel v čevljih Billa Furlonga. Bi ostal nemi opazovalec z varne razdalje ali bi bil tisti »drugi« – gre torej za isto vprašanje, ki nam ga zastavi mojstrski, z zlato palmo nagrajeni hrvaški kratki film Mož, ki ni mogel molčati …

Send us a textOn this episode of Speaking Of…College of Charleston, we have a great conversation with Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies and Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College about Irish books and movies. The colleagues first met playing softball with faculty from the English department and quickly became friends. They put their heads together and took a group of students to Ireland for a study abroad program, traveling from Dublin to Galway.“When we do those visits, the students follow our discussions of films, like In The Name of the Father and they're really able to see the landscape and the culture that inspired the movie they they saw on the big screen,” says Glenn.They recount trips around Ireland, emphasizing locations featured in Irish films such as Dublin, Galway, Connemara, and Belfast. Films discussed include The Quiet Man, Michael Collins and Banshees of Inisherin among others, illustrating the socio-political history and cultural identity of Ireland. The episode also touches on significant Irish cinematic movements and celebrates the storytelling legacy and literary richness of Irish culture.The way Kelly's describes the landscape, and the novels are a clear indicator of his knowledge and love for the country. He's an in-demand professor for a reason.“John Huston did a film version of The Dead, which is a very quiet story,” says Kelly. “And it ends with this beautiful scene where Gabriel Conroy is looking out the window at the snow falling onto the streets of Dublin and he imagines it falling across the mutinous Shannon waves and the bog of Allen and out onto the crooked crosses in the graveyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It's the most beautiful prose I've ever read and it's a absolutely beautiful 10 minutes of cinematography too.”Featured on this Episode:Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies at the College of Charleston, has been studying and writing about Irish literature since the 1990s, and in the last fifteen years he's been writing narrative histories about American democracy. His next book, The Biggest Lie: A Hundred Years of American Fascism, 1818-1918, will be out this time next year.Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College, teaches courses on film history and American Cinema as well as special topics courses on topics like Irish Cinema & Hollywood Auteurs.

AudioFile's Leslie Fine and host Jo Reed discuss how this brief novel set in a small Irish town in 1985 is no bucolic Irish tale. Aiden Kelly gives a masterful narration.

As he learns more, he is shaken by the fate of the occupants of the Magdalene schools/laundries for unwed mothers and their babies.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Small Things Like These is a novella by Claire Keegan that centers around Bill Furlong, an Irish coal merchant who discovers exploitation at a local convent. The story is based on the real-life history of the Magdalene Laundries, workhouses where Irish girls and women were forced into unpaid labor. Keegan's book, originally published in 2021, was adapted to film in the fall of 2024. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Keegan and Here & Now's Deborah Becker. They discuss the author's interest in the novella form and why she chose to write a women-centered story with a male protagonist.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

If you're searching for a meaningful Christmas read, this episode is just for you. Join us as we dive into Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These, a novella that proves even the shortest books can make a big difference. Set against the backdrop of a quiet Irish town during the holiday season, this story explores the profound impact one person can have in the face of systemic oppression. In this heartfelt book club discussion, we examine the themes of courage, compassion, and the moral dilemmas faced by ordinary people. We'll explore how acts of kindness and standing up for what's right can resonate far beyond their immediate circumstances, offering hope in even the darkest of situations. Whether you're a seasoned reader or just looking for something inspiring this holiday season, tune in to discover why Small Things Like These is a must-read that lingers long after you've turned the final page.

In a quiet Irish town in 1985, coal merchant Bill Furlong faces a life-altering choice: maintain the status quo or risk everything to do what's right. This is the heart of Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These, a novella that feels like it was written for anyone who's ever faced an ethical dilemma in their work or life. In this holiday episode, you'll hear the quiet but powerful lessons this story holds for nonprofit leaders like you. Whether you're fighting for funding, advocating for change, or simply trying to show up every day for your community, you've likely felt the tension between doing what's easy and doing what's necessary. Skip Ahead: (02:01) What a coal merchant in 1980s Ireland has to teach us about courage, compassion, and standing up to injustice (04:19) How do the quiet, often overlooked moments in nonprofit and public sector work mirror acts of bravery in Small Things Like These (06:28) What ripple effects could your smallest, most courageous actions have in the year ahead Resources Mentioned: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

Clare Keegan's slim 2021 novella about one Irishman's crisis of conscience during the Christmas season, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, has also been adapted into a film starring Cillian Murphy. In this week's episode, MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Joumana Khatib, Lauren Christensen, and Elizabeth Egan.  Keegan's book was also one of The New York Times Book Review's 100 best books of the 21st century. As we wrote, "Not a word is wasted in Keegan's small, burnished gem of a novel, a sort of Dickensian miniature centered on the son of an unwed mother who has grown up to become a respectable coal and timber merchant with a family of his own in 1985 Ireland. Moralistically, though, it might as well be the Middle Ages as he reckons with the ongoing sins of the Catholic Church and the everyday tragedies wrought by repression, fear and rank hypocrisy."  Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

The front window has been well decorated by mom and dad, the Polar Expresses have been ordered, and it is officially Holiday Season. So, what books are you going to buy for your friends and families? Well, let us tell you: - "James," by Percival Everett, Hannah's pick for book of the year (even if it didn't win the Booker). - "Orbital," by Samantha Harvey, which Sam somehow hasn't read yet, but is about astronauts and what it's like to be human (also, it's "James S A Corey," the fake name of two guys who wrote the Expanse series, not "S A Andrews" who doesn't seem to be a person).  - "Lazarus Man," by Richard Price, which should be big, by all rights, but who knows? Seems like a good book for literary dudes. - "The Serviceberry," by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which is great for the right open-minded reader. They have to be anti-capitalist, probably.  - "The Backyard Bird Chronicles," by Amy Tan, who is very much alive despite having been in a band with Stephen King in the 1990s, we think. We also use the word "flexi-bound" in describing this book.  - "The Boston Globe Story of the Celtics," by Chad Finn, who really lucked out with the Cs winning the championship just as he was finishing up.  - "Why We Love Football," by Joe Posnanski, a follow-up to "The Baseball 100," which is easily digestible and fits with the attention spans of teenaged boys.  - "Be Ready When the Luck Happens," by Ina Garten, a memoir by the super-famous chef, who Sam has never encountered in any way for some reason. This involves a sidebar on Martha Stewart. - "Heartbreak Is the National Anthem," by Rob Sheffield, which is shaping up to be one of the first important examinations of what Taylor Swift means for the future of popular music.  - "Small Things Like These," by Claire Keegan, which is going to be even huger, now that there's a movie.  - "Say Nothing," by Patrick Radden Keefe, which is going to be even huger, now that there's a limited series.  - "Wicked," by Gregory Maguire, which is going to be even huger, now that there's a movie, and may get you to buy others of his books, which will likely disappoint you.  - "The Women," by Kristen Hannah, which is emerging as maybe Hannah's most important book, dealing with the Vietnam War as it does and speaking to women about that time in a unique way.  - "Impossible Creatures," by Katherine Rundell, which is emerging as the best book for middle schoolers of the season. 

On today's episode, Alex recommends the Cillian Murphy Irish drama Small Things Like These, directed by Tim Mielants. Based on the novella by Claire Keegan, the film addresses a dark chapter of Irish history from a side angle: the story of a man who realizes he can no longer be silently complicit in the abuse of unwed mothers by the Catholic Church.  Want to discover and watch more under-the-radar films with my expert guidance and a community of movie lovers?

Jenny Biggam is the trailblazing founder of the7stars, the UK's largest independent media company. They're doing things differently- no job titles, equal profit shares and unlimited holiday for everyone. The key to attracting the best people, Jenny believes, is building the best place to work. In this episode, we discuss starting a business, the importance of ‘side hustles' and how to keep people engaged at work. As companies face a crisis of employee burnout and high staff turnover, the7stars marks a new kind of workplace, one built around ‘talent encouragement' and career development. They have been consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, featuring on the Sunday Times' ‘Top 100 Companies to Work For' list for the last 11 years and winning Campaign's Best Place to Work every year since 2020.   Since founding the7stars in 2005, Jenny has also started her own ‘side hustle', a sister agency called Bountiful Cow.

It is impossible to look away from US politics at the moment, and so Darren cannot help but keep his focus on the presidential election. Yet beyond the horse race are larger questions about the health of democracy in the US and indeed around the world, given the pressures democratic systems everywhere are facing. Trump's unconventional (to say the least) political conduct reveals the seams or weaknesses in democratic systems that might have been difficult to see clearly in times of stability. The role of the media is one such example. While voters have been saying for months that Biden's age is a problem, the relative silence in mainstream media on the issue (at least until after the first debate) arguably did not serve the interests of US democracy. To unpack this issue and many others besides, Darren is joined by Eliza Harvey. Eliza is the Executive Producer of the ABC panel discussion program Q+A, having first joined the ABC as a cadet in the mid-2000s and worked in many roles in and around journalism and the media ever since. She is also a US politics junkie, situating her ideally to discuss the current dynamics in the campaign, but also larger questions about the health of US democracy (and how we measure it), and the role played by the media and the public in keeping democracies strong. In a conversation recorded on 1 August, the two also venture predictions for Harris' Vice-Presidential pick, which will be made known within 24 hours of this episode being published! Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Corbin Duncan and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

He and his team were the only international journalists to spend the first 20 days covering the siege of the city of Mariupol. "I just understood that we need to record everything.
