In this episode of Talking History, we're going back in time 10 years to remember how Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote, as we debate what the passing of the marriage equality referendum really meant for Irish history.Featuring: Dr Mary McAuliffe, historian and Director of Gender Studies at UCD, co-editor of ‘The politics of gender and sexuality in modern Ireland' and co-editor of ‘Sexual Politics in Modern Ireland'; Prof Sonja Tiernan, historian of modern Ireland, based at the Royal Irish Academy, and author of ‘The History of Marriage Equality in Ireland: A Social Revolution Begins' and co-editor of ‘Sexual Politics in Modern Ireland'; Dr Brian Tobin, Associate Professor at the School of Law at the University of Galway, author of 'The Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships: Emerging Families in Ireland and Beyond'; and Frances Fitzgerald, former Tánaiste and former Minister for Justice, who introduced that legislation to hold the marriage equality referendum and signed its commencement order that November.

“You have to read in order to develop your mind and develop your ability to think,” Peggy Noonan said. “It's no good to say, ‘Oh, I can't help that I was born in 1990 and everybody has a phone.' Too bad. Put it down.” For decades, Noonan has been a Wall Street Journal columnist and author, known for her Pulitzer Prize–winning commentary on politics and culture. She and Moore reflect on Noonan's career both in journalism and as a speech writer in the Reagan Administration. They talk about Noonan's faith, her love for Christian history, and her long-standing relationship to Roman Catholicism. The two discuss sexual scandals in both church and government, the power of the written word, and the way artists see the world. They consider the concerning potential of artificial intelligence, the value of reading in a world overrun by technology, and the importance of critical thinking in our modern political culture.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke to Clinical Child Psychologist, Dr. Toby Sachsenmaier about what it is like to be a teenager in modern Ireland.

It was revealed that Angelina Jolie asked her kids to give their father, Brad Pitt, the cold shoulder during custody visits to try to build a wedge between them. So often children are used and are hurt during the breakdown of a relationship. How can you avoid this and make sure the process is straightforward when children are involved? Michelle Browne, is senior family mediator and author of “Scars of Divorce: How to avoid them and achieve an amicable divorce in Modern Ireland” and joins Kieran to discuss.

The government should introduce legislation for pre-nuptial agreements. That's the call from Michelle Browne, Senior Family mediator with Browne and Co Mediation in Naas and Author of Scars of Divorce: How to avoid and achieve an amicable divorce in Modern Ireland.

A superb closing episode for the series Movement that revolves on social movements and its analysis from a social as well as a historic perspective, cohosted by Prof. Swen Hutter, Lichtenberg Professor for Sociology at the Freie Universität and the WZB Social Science Center in Berlin.    What is Democracy today, and why the French Revolution such a pivotal point in History? How did religious movements evolve into social movements; Why are we witnessing strong polarization in the world of politics nowadays, and the revival of models of thought in the form of populist nationalism, that we thought to be terminally ill? Our guest, Prof. Bourke, Professor of the History of Political Thought at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of King´s College of Cambridge, whose work focuses on the history of political thought, particularly on the political ideas of the enlightenment and its aftermath, helps us understand these and other inquires, while he brilliantly exposes parallels and differences of today's social movements and events back in history.   In addition, the also Co-Director of the Cambridge Centre for Political Thought, expert on ancient philosophy and political theory in the 19th and 20th centuries, introduces us to Edmund Burke and his vision on the French Revolution, Kant's revolutionizing ideas in regards of the making of identity and self-consciousness as well as Hegel's vision on History and its relevance regarding our contemporary society.     Violence, poverty, inequality, the Climate Movement, and its difficulties to achieve its goals, the idea of the self and its exploration, as well as personal identity and individual agency back in the 18th and 19th Centuries vs. the concept of the self in today's political struggles, all of these and more awaits you in this season's remarkable an exciting final episode of See See by Ceci's second season "Movement”! *Prof. Richard Bourke is also A Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Historical Society. Honored with awards such as the István Hont Memorial Book Prize in Intellectual History, Prof. Bourke's publications range from nationalism and conservatism to political judgement and popular sovereignty, including Irish modern history, the philosophy of history since Kant and the history of democracy. These publications comprise numerous articles and books such as “Peace in Ireland: the war of ideas”; “The Princeton History of Modern Ireland”; “Empire and revolution: the political thought of Edmund Burke”; and his most recent work “Hegel's World Revolutions”.

There's little more universally enticing than a story about someone setting off on a great voyage: an intrepid adventurer protagonist. This week, the book I'm discussing is just that – a journey into unknown frontiers, both geographically and linguistically. Today I'm speaking with author and journalist Lauren Collins. Lauren, a staff writer with the New Yorker since 2008, published her incredible debut novel, When In French: Love in a Second Language, to huge acclaim in 2016. In this episode, Lauren and I get into the idea of language – the experience of being a person who lives between two languages, the evolution and porosity of language, L'Academie Francaise (the three-headed dog that guards French grammar), and some technical aspects of a few high-impact linguistic theories. In our interview today, Lauren told me about the book Je ne suis pas Parisienne, by Alice Pfeiffer (2019) – a series of essays written by a journalist, repudiating the ‘Parisian woman' cliché. Her favorite book that I've probably never heard of is The Smile Revolution, by Colin Jones (2014), a cultural history of smiling.

A conversation with Joe Cleary about his book Outrageous Fortune: Capital and Culture in Modern Ireland, a collection of essays engaging with Irish culture from the time of the literary revival, through the Free State and postwar periods to the Celtic Tiger. Joe Cleary is a professor of English in Yale University, where he teaches on modernism, Irish, postcolonial and world literatures. More recently he has published Modernism, Empire, World Literature (2021) and The Irish Expatriate Novel in Late Capitalist Globalization (2021).  The sound quality here is a bit shagged for the first ten minutes or so but it picks up after, my apologies.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Fintan O'Toole, long-time journalist of The Irish Times, joins us to discuss his acclaimed new book We Don't Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland. Although the book is not exactly a memoir, it is a sweeping journey through the decades of Ireland's evolution from the late 1950s through to today from the perspective of Fintan himself. As someone who lived through the turbulence of the Troubles, the bombings carried out by the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and the Good Friday Agreement, Fintan is uniquely able to tell the story of Ireland in from the mid-20th century to the present. In addition to all of this, Fintan and I will also delve into the issue of Brexit, the possibility of Irish reunification, and the rise of English nationalism and the Little England mentality. Fintan will also comment on the differences between English nationalism and Irish nationalism, give details on the Northern Ireland conflict ( aka The Troubles) and its complexity (we'll discuss not only the IRA but also North Irish Unionists like Ian Paisley), what it means to be Irish, national identity and Catholic identity in Ireland, the theme of "Unknown Knowns" and "Doubleness" in Fintan's personal history of Ireland, Catholic Church child sex abuse scandals in Ireland, conservatism and social control, Us Vs. Them mentalities, Irish economist and diplomat T.K. Whitaker and the Irish gambit, Irish composer Seán Ó Riada and traditional Irish music, the European Union and national identities, and much, much more!

In We Don't Know Ourselves, Fintan O'Toole weaves his own experiences into the social, cultural, and economic changes Ireland faced over his lifetime, chronicling its transition from a reactionary “backwater” to an almost totally open society. He discusses some of  the key changes in Ireland during his lifetime with Radio Free Galisteo's John Shannon including the fall of the influence of the  Catholic Church, the transition from a rural to modern society, and also why Ireland has a soft spot for our own Wild West.Fintan O'Toole is a columnist for the Irish Times and a professor at Princeton University.

Dr Laura Kelly joins Myles to discuss her new book 'Contraception and Modern Ireland A Social History, c. 1922–92'

"Religion and politics are pretty important things in and of themselves, but when you fuse them into a single identity, it actually becomes pretty toxic." The post A Personal History of Modern Ireland with Fintan O'Toole appeared first on Writer's Voice.

Fintan O'Toole grew up in an Ireland undergoing great change but before the country could move forward, it would have to deal with its sometimes dark past.

According to new research in the UK most people prefer to be represented by a barrister with a posh voice than someone with a strong regional accent. 80% said they would prefer received pronunciation or the Queen's English and only 20% said they would be happy with a West Midlands English accent. But how does that translate to Ireland? Do we still have a hang up with with accents? And would we prefer a posh accent to represent us in court? Henry McKean took the streets to ask...

After a 30-year campaign, Yale finally recognized UNITE-HERE as the union representing TAs. Harold Meyerson reports - and also on the Teamsters as they prepare to strike against UPS in August.Plus: If you were planning a future coup, what could you learn from the failure of Trump's efforts on January 6? Fintan O'Toole says it would need a better story—not attacking Congress, but “defending democracy.” He teaches at Princeton, and is the author most recently of We Don't Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland.Also: who'd want to see a movie about Harvey Weinstein? Well, the film She Said, about the two New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein story, is not about Harvey; it's about the system that protected him. And it's really good. Katha Pollitt comments.

Fintan O'Toole was born in the year the revolution began. It was 1958, and the Irish government, in despair because all the young people were leaving, opened the country to foreign investment and popular culture. So began a decades-long, ongoing experiment with Irish national identity.

Margaret Leeson, also known as Peg Plunkett was a Sex Worker and Madame to the elite in 18th-century Ireland.  Companion to Modern Ireland's founding fathers *cough - Colonisers, she was renowned for her wit, intelligence, and charm.  When down on her luck, she published her autobiography in three volumes - giving unreliable customers the option to clear their debts with her, or be named and shamed!   Sources: Book - Peg Plunkett: Memoires of a Whore by Julie Peakman https://dublin.ie/live/life-in-dublin/history-society/  https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/prostitution-ireland  https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/the-liberty-and-ormond-boys-gangs-and-rioting-in-historic-dublin  https://comeheretome.com/2012/11/13/the-pinking-dindies/  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynings%27_Law_(on_certification_of_acts) https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/legislativescrutiny/parliamentandireland/overview/poynings-law/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwellian_conquest_of_Ireland  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Swift

Finding ground somewhere between memoir and history book, Fintan O'Toole documents the spectacular changes that have occurred in Ireland over the past six decades in his latest book We Don't Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Ireland Since 1958.

Dr. Adam Hanna's Poetry, Politics, and the Law in Modern Ireland (Syracuse University Press, 2022) is a richly detailed exploration of how modern Irish poetry has been shaped by, and responded to, the laws, judgments, and constitutions of both of the island's jurisdictions. Focusing on poets' responses in their writing to such contentious legal issues as partition, censorship, paramilitarism, and the curtailment of women's reproductive and other rights, this volume is the first in the growing field of law and literature to monograph exclusively on modern Ireland. Dr. Hanna unpacks the legal engagements of both major and non-canonical poets from every decade between the 1920s and the present day, including Rhoda Coghill, Austin Clarke, Paul Durcan, Elaine Feeney, Miriam Gamble, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Paula Meehan, Julie Morrissy, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, and W. B. Yeats. Poetry from the time of independence onward has been shaped by two opposing forces. On the one hand, the Irish public has traditionally had strong expectations that poets offer a dissenting counter-discourse to official sources of law. On the other hand, poets have more recently expressed skepticism about the ethics of speaking for others and about the adequacy of art in performing a public role. Dr. Hanna's fascinating study illuminates the poetry that arises from these antithetical modern conditions. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Representing Magic in Modern Ireland: Belief, History, Culture (Cambridge UP, 2022), Andrew Sneddon argues that Ireland did not experience a disenchanted modernity, nor a decline in magic. It suggests that beliefs, practices and traditions concerning witchcraft and magic developed and adapted to modernity to retain cultural currency until the end of the twentieth century. This analysis provides the backdrop for the first systematic exploration of how historic Irish trials of witches and cunning-folk were represented by historians, antiquarians, journalists, dramatists, poets, and novelists in Ireland between the late eighteenth and late twentieth century. It is demonstrated that this work created an accepted narrative of Irish witchcraft and magic which glossed over, ignored, or obscured the depth of belief in witchcraft, both in the past and in contemporary society. Collectively, their work gendered Irish witchcraft, created a myth of a disenchanted, modern Ireland, and reinforced competing views of Irishness and Irish identity. These long-held stereotypes were only challenged in the late twentieth-century. Aidan Beatty is a historian at the Honors College of the University of Pittsburgh. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Representing Magic in Modern Ireland: Belief, History, Culture (Cambridge UP, 2022), Andrew Sneddon argues that Ireland did not experience a disenchanted modernity, nor a decline in magic. It suggests that beliefs, practices and traditions concerning witchcraft and magic developed and adapted to modernity to retain cultural currency until the end of the twentieth century. This analysis provides the backdrop for the first systematic exploration of how historic Irish trials of witches and cunning-folk were represented by historians, antiquarians, journalists, dramatists, poets, and novelists in Ireland between the late eighteenth and late twentieth century.

Birth Series, Episode #1 of 4. Symphysiotomy. Probably not a word you've heard before - and if you have, I'm sorry? Symphysiotomy is an obstetric procedure in which a person's pubic symphysis cartilage is cut to widen the pelvis for childbirth. Yes. Gross. I know. For most of the 19th century, symphysiotomy was a new solution to difficult births, and, to some doctors, preferable to Caesarean section, and certainly to the gruesome craniotomy. By the 1930s, though, in countries where childbirth had been medicalized, the symphysiotomy was phased out in favor of the safer C section - except Ireland. While surgical solutions to difficult childbirths increased in American and European obstetrics throughout the twentieth-century generally, it was only in Ireland that the use of symphysiotomy increased. Why, for the love of God, WHY, you ask? Let's dig in.

Very sorry for the lack of an episode last week. Ronan's laptop got wiped. Please share this one far and wide to make up for that crucial week of impact we didn't get there. This week, we deal with that terrible country, Ancient Ireland. We are so glad we live in Modern Ireland where we don't have any of the issues they had to deal with like Leprechauns, Kings, and Newgrange.

Every few months on the Irish side of the internet, a certain debate pops up about the spelling of a word. The word refers to convivial merriment, especially in an Irish context. But should it be spelled crack or craic? The reason this discussion can withstand multiple rounds of debate hinges on the way that the word and the stories of its origins overlap with other recurring debates: on Irish identity and smugness, on Gaeilge and if/when it stopped giving new loanwords to English, and on contrarianism itself. This week, Darach and Gearóidín are joined by Senior Film Critic of the Irish Times, Donald Clarke, who has written about this phenomenon on more than one occasion. He tells the gang about his own lived experience as an Irish migrant in London during Italia 90 when he noticed a change in the spelling and frequency in the term’s use. The gang consider the pivot in Irish identity and perceptions of Ireland around this time and consider if feelings towards the word reflect feelings on this transition. --- Get Kirsten Shiel art prints here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/kirstenshiel/  Order from http://www.dropchef.com using the code “MOFO” mentioned in this podcast for a €15 discount --- Contact the show: twitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor email - motherfocloir@headstuff.org

Catholic Church bashing has replaced “Brit-bashing” in modern Ireland, according to David Quinn of Ireland’s Iona Institute in episode one of Life On Planet Earth. Quinn explains to host John Aidan Byrne how rampant anti-Catholicism has engulfed Ireland where many Irish politicians, once proud of the Irish Catholic identify, are now fearful of public rebuke if they speak up for the Church. Quinn, a prolific writer and columnist for the Sunday Times and Irish Catholic, is a social commentator and conservative activist. He is the author of How We Killed God: and Other Tales of Modern Ireland. In this episode Quinn also explains how Ireland recently lost the pro-life Eighth Amendment that led to the legalization of abortion in Ireland. And Quinn explains why he has a certain sympathy for voters who pulled the plug in favor of Brexit and the UK’s decision to exit the European Union. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-aidan-byrne/support

In Ireland abortion has been a criminal offence since the Offences against the Person Act 1861. In 1983 the Eight Amendment to the Constitution was adopted to give explicit constitutional recognition to the right to life of the unborn while also affirming the equal right to life of the mother. While further amendments to the Constitution in 1992 have seen thousands of women in Ireland travel to the UK each year to have access to abortion services, the position still remains that termination of pregnancy is only permitted in Ireland where there is a real and substantial risk to the mother's life. In the wake of International Women's Day and as debates around the Eighth Amendment continue, this panel discussion will explore how this highly emotive and deeply personal, legal, moral and ethical issue finds its roots in historical and religious approaches to unborn life and women's bodies in modern Ireland, the contemporary legal cases pertaining to abortion and the prevalence and impact of crisis pregnancies in Ireland. Speakers: Dr Georgina Laragy (School of Histories and Humanities, Dr Catherine Conlon (School of Social Work and Social Policy, Professor Ivana Bacik (School of Law), Professor William Binchy (School of Law) with introduction by Professor Jane Ohlmeyer (Director, Trinity Long Room Hub). The Trinity Long Room Hub's ‘Behind the Headlines' discussion series offers background analyses to current issues by experts drawing on the long-term perspectives of Arts & Humanities research. It aims to provide a forum that deepens understanding, combats simplification and polarization and thus creates space for informed and respectful public discourse.

In this episode Diarmaid Ferriter reads from chapter six of his latest book Occasions of Sin: Sex and Society in Modern Ireland published by Profile Books. Using a huge variety of different sources, Occasions of Sin charts the Irish sexual experience over the course of the twentieth century. In tackling the public and private worlds of Irish sex, this book is groundbreaking in its scope and ambition, covering such subjects as abortion, pregnancy, celibacy, contraception, censorship, infanticide, homosexuality, prostitution, marriage, popular culture, social life and the various hidden Irelands associated with sex and sexual abuse. The book energetically and originally engages with subjects traditionally omitted from the mainstream historical narrative. It also details the interaction between church, state, politicians, lobby groups and private individuals as debates raged over family planning, marriage, gay rights and the role of the media.
