Political ideologiesFebruary 2014The IRA 1956–69
Rethinking the Republic
by Matt Treacy
While there have been many books written about the IRA since 1916, comparatively little attention has been paid to the organisation during the 1960s, despite the fact that the internal divisions culminating in the 1969 split are often seen as key to the conflict which erupted that year. This book, newly available in paperback, redresses that vacuum and through an exhaustive survey of internal and official sources, as well as interviews with key IRA members, provides a unique and fascinating insight into radical Republican politics which will be of interest to those interested in Irish history and politics. The author looks at the root of the divisions which centred on conflicting attitudes within the IRA on armed struggle, electoral participation and socialism. He argues that while the IRA did not consciously plan the northern 'Troubles', the internal debate of the 1960s had implications for what happened in 1969.

Roman
by Erwin Mortier, Ira Wilhelm
Joris wächst bei Onkel und Tante auf; sein Vater ist früh gestorben, die Mutter nach Spanien gezogen – viel mehr weiß Joris nicht über sie. In Stuyvenberghe, seinem Dorf, geht es beschaulich zu; der Kirchturm schaut seit Jahrhunderten schläfrig auf die Häuser herunter, und selbst das Schloß mit den hohen, dunklen Zypressen verfällt auf pittoreske Weise. Bis der Gemeinderat eines Sommers bekanntgibt, daß die Gräber auf dem Kirchhof wegen Umbauten verlegt werden müssen. Das heißt: auch das Grab von Joris’ Vater. Von dem hat Joris die allerschönste Vorstellung – und eine alte Keksdose mit wenigen Fotos, der Rest ist: unscharfe Erinnerung, Wunsch, Erfindung und die Geschichten der Verwandtschaft. Als Joris sich in diesem Sommer zum ersten Mal verliebt, wird das Unterscheiden von Erträumtem und Erlebtem, von Wunsch und Realität noch schwieriger. Erwin Mortier erzählt Joris’ Suche nach der eigenen Geschichte, der eigenen Identität mit einem feinen Ohr für Stimmungen und psychologische Details; beschreibt mit meisterhafter Eleganz, wie Joris seine Kindheit anhand von alten Fotos zu rekonstruieren versucht – und nach und nach die feinen Risse in den Bildern erkennt, die er sich von seinem Vater, dem Dorf und der Liebe gemacht hat.

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2023Imagining the Irish child
Discourses of childhood in Irish Anglican writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
by Jarlath Killeen
This book examines the ways in which ideas about children, childhood and Ireland changed together in Irish Protestant writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It focuses on different varieties of the child found in the work of a range of Irish Protestant writers, theologians, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and parents from the early seventeenth century up to the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. The book is structured around a detailed examination of six 'versions' of the child: the evil child, the vulnerable/innocent child, the political child, the believing child, the enlightened child, and the freakish child. It traces these versions across a wide range of genres (fiction, sermons, political pamphlets, letters, educational treatises, histories, catechisms and children's bibles), showing how concepts of childhood related to debates about Irish nationality, politics and history across these two centuries.
