Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between Ulster unionists and the United States during the Home Rule era from 1880 to 1920. As they fought to uphold the Union, Ulster unionists reacted to Irish-American involvement in the Irish nationalist movement with anxiety and fear of the impact on a potential Dublin parliament. At the same time, unionists cultivated an image of a violent and extremist Irish-America in order to counter Irish nationalism and support their own movement. Unionists condemned the American funding of Irish nationalism and United States government interference on the Irish question. However, they were also anxious to show that unionism had international appeal, seeking American support against Home Rule and promoting a self-image of close ties to the United States. This thesis argues that Ulster unionists took a multifaceted and paradoxical approach to America, repudiating American involvement in the Irish nationalist movement while attempting to find opportunities to advance the cause of unionism in the United States. Throughout the Home Rule period, the Ulster unionist record of appeals and responses to the United States was marked by unevenness and contradictions which limited their effectiveness. However, unionists increasingly used an idealized, imagined America to support their own movement. They cited American historical and constitutional examples and fostered an Ulster identity based in part on Scotch-Irish heritage and Protestant connections. Ulster unionists were less insular and more internationally focused than they are generally portrayed. Chapter I introduces the historical context and historiographic framework in which the thesis operates. Chapters II and III provide an overview of the relationship between Ulster unionists and the United States from 1880 to 1920. During this period, unionists attempted to garner American support for their movement while contemporaneously responding to Irish-American nationalism and the involvement of the United States government on the Irish question. Subsequent chapters are arranged thematically, examining the elements of the Ulster unionists’ American strategy. Chapter IV investigates Scotch-Irish ethnic revival and associational culture in the United States, analyzing continued links to Ireland and attitudes toward Irish Home Rule. Chapter V provides case-studies of unionist visits to the United States as they endeavored to counter nationalist influence and build up a unionist following. Chapter VI explores the interconnection of religion and politics in Ulster’s relationship with America. Chapter VII examines the impact of American history and politics on the Ulster unionist movement. Chapter VIII concludes that the inability of Ulster unionists to effectively deal with the United States in the present day has roots in the relationship between unionists and America during the Home Rule era.

Abstract:

Toward the end of the Troubles, the notion of an Ulster-Scots ethnicity, culture, and language began to be pursued by certain unionists and loyalists more desirous of ‘something more racy of the soil’ (Dowling 2007:54). Peace-building in Northern Ireland had undergone something of a cultural turn: the armed struggle over constitutional and civil rights questions began in the eighties to be ‘ethnically framed’ (Brubaker 2004:166). With cultural identity politically potent, the conception of an Ulster-Scots ethnic group began to gain traction with a tiny but influential subsection of unionists and loyalists. Since the nineties, this movement has gained considerable ground. This thesis represents an intersectional investigation of the inclusion of Ulster-Scots education into schools in Northern Ireland. I contend that Ulster-Scots studies represents an ethnicisation of the conception of a discrete Protestant politico-religious “community” within Northern Ireland, holding considerable potential for the deepening of senses of intercommunal differentiation. Rather than presenting the potential for the deconstruction of ideas of difference, such a pedagogy of reifies, perpetuates, (re)constructs and even deepens such ideas of difference by grounding notions of difference in ethno-cultural and genealogical bases. Ulster-Scots is often described as a means of waging cultural war in post-conflict Northern Ireland (Mac Póilin 1999). Contrariwise, I contend that it represents neither the uncritical, sectarian, loyalist pedagogy of its critics nor the pragmatic and innocuous solution to a problem of durable collective identities of its protagonists. Rather, Ulster-Scots education is embedded in the politics of consociational peace. The logic of consociationalism explicitly entails the maintenance of stark boundaries of ethnic difference. This research does not merely critique of Ulster-Scots pedagogy, but calls into question the whole consociational logic in which it, and the Northern Irish peace process in general, has been embedded.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the representation ofmasculinity within a number ofNorthern Irish novels written in the last 15 years. The main focus is the novels of Eoin McNamee, Glenn Patterson and Robert McLiam Wilson, although the works of a number of other authors are also discussed. This thesis has taken a thematic approach to the contemporary Northern Irish novel and attempted to analyse the myriad facets of masculinity as it is imagined in this fiction. This analysis encompasses ideas of femininity and maternity, class and the dominant discourses of masculinity, as they exist in academia and beyond. Masculinity in Northern Ireland is influenced by both the social landscape ofNorthern Ireland and wider social trends, as the novels under consideration are affected both by the forms of masculinity they represent and the formal constraints of the tradition of the novel. One ofthe key aims of this thesis is to disrupt notions of a hegemonic Northern Irish masculinity, based on violent conflict and hyper-masculine sectarian rhetoric, as the only option available to Northern Irish men. The three sections of this thesis were designed to represent the three key facets of Northern Irish manhood; their bodies, their performances and the way in which their subjectivity has been bound up with violence.

Abstract:

A Northern dimension to Irish literature did not spring fully-formed into existence in 1968. This thesis retrieves from the canonical shadows the range of the Northern contribution to the Literary Revival in Ireland. Further, it attempts to show how the achievements of such writers and cultural activists as Alice Milligan, Francis Joseph Bigger, Gerald MacNamara and Joseph Campbell intersected with and critiqued the Revival as it was unfolding in Dublin, particularly in the development of a national drama. This small Northern intelligentists, largely based in Belfast, played a vital role in the development of an Irish cultural manifesto which was intended to be pluralist, modern and anti-sectarian. Belfast, the only city in Ireland to have undergone an Industrial Revolution, was in many ways the most ‘modern’ of Irish cities, and its nationalist writers faced very different political circumstances from their Southern counterparts. Their work reflected this. Milligan, Bigger and MacNamara were all Ulster protestants: they sought (unsuccessfully in the end) to secure Ulster protestantism’s place in the Revival. Milligan combined republicanism with poetry, history, drama and journalism. Bigger constructed a material past for the North in his work as an antiquarian and writer. Macnamara satirized the occult excesses of Yeatsian Celticism, and wrote plays which were hugely popular, yet formally innovative. He was strongly influenced by developments in European drama, particularly expressionism. Joseph Campbell, one of the few catholics prominent in the cultural Revival in the North, wrote a poetry which prefigured that of Padraic Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh and Patrick Kavanagh, but also of poets of the ‘second’ Northern Revival, John Montague and Seamus Heaney. The second part of the dissertation and the introductory chapter argue that the advent in Ireland and Partition in 1921 was the reason that this Northern aspect to the Revival has been all but forgotten. Not only did these writers disappear from the Irish literary scene, later the canon, but their main achievement - the creation of a strong Ulster regionalism which was nonetheless firmly nationalist - was assimilated and re-developed by an Ulster Unionist establishment busy inventing Northern Ireland. Thus, after 1921, now divested of its national foundations, Ulster regionalism became a cultural ballast to partition. The poetry of John Hewitt is examined in this context, alongside the development of a partitionist geography, archaeology and historiography. Finally, it is argued that the nationalist legacies of these early Ulster regionalists were recuperated and reconfigured in the work of Northern catholic John Montague in the 1950s and 60s, culminating in his long poem The Rough Field (1972). In many ways, then, this dissertation seeks in the library and cultural-political history of the North of Ireland during the Revival a proper and hitherto unexplored context in which to read post-1968 Northern poetry.

Full text

Abstract:

The Orange Order is a Protestant fraternal order within Northern Ireland that has branches across the former British Empire. Since its formation in 1795, it has been described as a brotherhood, definitively male with a triumphalist parade culture maintaining Protestant `civil and religious liberties' by celebrating the victory of King William III at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. My dissertation explores the role of gender within Orangeism. Notions of `brotherhood', `sisterhood', and `family' in the lodges are explored, as are the roles of women within Orangeism. In particular, the `family' nature of Orangeism has played a major role in the inclusion of women and children in Orange demonstrations and parades. Evangelical beliefs in women's moral superiority and the necessity of her influence over her family and community provided women with a public presence via Orange processions and female lodges. Men were forced to accept their utility as political mothers who could inculcate Orange values in children and in the wider community through their influence and philanthropic work. In short, Orangeism was never simply a brotherhood; the familial metaphor enabled women to gain influence as `sisters' and to perform various politicized (and sometimes militarized) domestic roles within the public space provided by the order. Orangeism gave them a political base from which to petition, challenge governmental policies they deemed unfair, and to threaten or commit violence when peaceful methods failed.

Full text

Abstract:

The dissertation argues that Ulster Catholic laity inhabited a social and cultural "frontier" through the early modern period. This mentality shaped how Ulster Catholics perceived and conceived their place and community in the rapidly changing religious, socio-economic and political situation in early modern Ulster (c.1680-1830). Though sectarian attitudes and violence are viewed as inherent in Ulster and Irish history generally, this dissertation explores the social and cultural connections between Ulster Catholics and Anglo-Scot Protestant settlers, and the social and cultural world of Ulster Catholics and Catholic converts. By examining several locales and specific Catholic families in the province, a nuanced portrait of interdenominational relationships and Catholic culture and society is forwarded. Additionally, the concerns of daily life and social connections are explored to register the amount of adaptation or resistance to the changing socio-economic and political conditions in Ulster. Moreover, the attempted Tridentine reforms of Ulster Catholic practice by the Catholic upper clergy during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was another "frontier" that was alternately adapted and resisted by the Ulster Catholic laity. Analysis of Catholic diocesan letters, Gaelic poetry and songs, family and estate papers, official state papers, and other contemporary works demonstrates the complexities of local interdenominational relationships and the diverse constructions of a "Catholic community" early modern Ulster.

Abstract:

The historiography of the north of Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries fails to address many key issues regarding the social and material culture of the aristocracy of the region. Existing work has concentrated largely on economic and political questions. This thesis seeks to redress this balance by providing a study of the world of the Ulster aristocracy outside the realms of national politics and land purchase. The work looks at six aspects of aristocratic culture between 1870 and 1925, using the personal and material records of twelve of the premier aristocratic families in the nine county region as a case study to examine changes in the family life, artistic and architectural patronage, and leisure practises of these families. The thesis does not seek to provide a comprehensive cultural history of the aristocracy; however, the discussions contained within this work are relevant to the wider aristocratic and elite culture of Ulster, Ireland, and Britain, and reflect the growing awareness of the landed classes of the rapid social changes of the time. While the study is in many ways central to examinations of contemporary aristocratic culture in Ireland and Britain, the specific intention of the work is to illuminate the (as yet) underexplored lives of these families. The families under examination demonstrate in their patterns of family life, artistic and architectural involvement, and leisure, both an adherence to a wider British-led ‘cultural unionism’, and a growing sense of their distinctive ‘Ulster’ identity. Additionally, the enormous wealth and exalted status of these families set them apart from their less privileged neighbours. The social, financial, and geographical place of these families within the United Kingdom influenced their culture in a distinctive way during this period. By offering a new focus for the study of the history of the north of Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries, this thesis seeks to open up an area of study that has been largely neglected by historians. The topics of discussion have been chosen to engage with some of the more marked weaknesses in the existing historiography, and also to reflect those areas in which archival and material sources are most abundant. The intention of the thesis is to examine the ways in which these families took an active part in adapting their culture during this period. By altering their patterns of consumption and movement to suit contemporary changes, and harnessing and manipulating ideas about the place of the elite within the wider British social climate, these families worked to retain their relevance into the 20th century. The goal of this thesis is to begin to construct what has been termed an ‘occupied past’: the work seeks to provide, not a set of political and economic changes and an analysis of the responses to these challenges, but new research and discussion that more clearly reflects the day-to-day existences of these powerful and privileged families during a period of profound social, political, and economic change.

Abstract:

En 1976, le phénomène punk surgit à Londres, semble remettre en cause certains des codes sociaux et des normes culturelles la société britannique, et est le sujet d’une « panique morale ». La même année, en Irlande du Nord, 297 personnes sont tuées à cause du conflit. Les Sex Pistols invoquent l’anarchie dans leurs textes, mais pour les nord-irlandais, « Anarchy in the UK » est bien plus qu’une chanson : il s’agit de leur quotidien. Pourtant, alors que le conflit fait rage, alors que protestants et catholiques restent cantonnés dans leurs quartiers respectifs, des centaines de jeunes issus de deux communautés que tout semble opposer se retrouvent semaine après semaine dans les mêmes lieux pour partager une passion commune : celle du punk rock. Quelles sont les spécificités que présentent le punk en Irlande du Nord ? Quel impact ce phénomène de culture populaire a-t-il sur les pratiques des jeunes Nord-Irlandais qui participent à cette scène et à cette subculture alors que le conflit bat son plein ? Quels mécanismes permettent aux punks d’imaginer et d’incarner une « Alternative Ulster » ? Afin d’apporter des réponses à ces questions, le présent travail s’attache à retracer l’émergence de la scène punk nord-irlandaise (1976-1983), à analyser les manières dont sont « pratiqués » les lieux sur lesquels elle repose, à interroger l’importance de la tenue et du corps punk et, finalement, à mettre en lumière les thématiques qui traversent la chanson punk In 1976, punk took the United Kingdom by surprise, and for one brief moment, challenged some of the cultural and social assumptions of British society, shocking public opinion and causing an outbreak of moral panic in its wake. The Sex Pistols could sing about it, but for people living in Northern Ireland, “Anarchy in the UK” was more than just a song, it was what they experienced in their everyday lives. Yet, while the conflict raged on, and at a time when cross-community contact had become uncommon, a minority of the North’s youth turned to punk. These young Catholics and Protestants ignored their political and religious differences and met up in streets and record shops during the day, and at night crowded into the few bars and pubs that allowed punk bands to play. What specific features did Northern Ireland punk display? What impact did this popular culture phenomenon have on the practices of the young participants who took part in this scene and subculture in the midst of the “Troubles”? What mechanisms enabled punks to imagine and embody an “Alternative Ulster”? In order to find answers to these questions, we will provide an account of the emergence of the punk scene in Northern Ireland (1976-1983), analyse the ways in which its spaces were “practiced”, examine the importance of punk dress and, finally, explore the themes which appear in punk rock songs

Abstract:

Esta dissertação pretende abordar a questão do conflito na Irlanda do Norte entre as comunidades minoritárias católicas defensoras de uma Irlanda Unida e as comunidades maioritárias protestantes que defendem a anexação da Irlanda do Norte ao Império Britânico, gerando um dos mais sangrentos e mais intensos conflitos da história recente na Europa. O motivo principal que explicou a conflitualidade consiste nas discriminações e desigualdades a que os católicos, enquanto minoria étnica, sofreram por parte dos protestantes visto que a sua participação e direitos na sociedade civil não foram reconhecidos por parte da maioria protestante no território da Irlanda do Norte, o que veio a contribuir para um crescimento do nacionalismo irlandês, baseado numa multiplicidade interminável de vectores económicos, sociais, étnicos, religiosos, políticos, militares (com a presença de movimentos paramilitares) estando intimamente ligados com a ocupação prévia da Irlanda pelos colonos Britânicos protestantes considerada como usurpação por parte dos Católicos nativos da Irlanda desde o século XII. Apesar de se ter chegado a um consenso recentemente em 1998 as hostilidades entre comunidades étnicas na Irlanda do Norte ainda vigoram. Essas hostilidades consistem: na desconfiança de elementos de uma comunidade perante outra motivado pelos traumas passados relacionados com a perda de familiares e amigos, a inexistência de laços de amizade entre republicanos e unionistas motivados por essa mesma desconfiança, episódios esporádicos de mortes de soldados britânicos que faleceram em 7 de Março de 2009, atacados pelo Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) e a ocorrência de mortes de civis motivados por motivos sectários e de disputas internas dentro destes grupos armados levando a concluir que a paz não será permanente na Irlanda do Norte; ABSTRACT: This dissertation pretends to aboard the question of the conflict in Northern Ireland between the minority Catholic unionists defenders of the idea of a united Ireland and Protestant communities who defend the annexation of the Northern Ireland to the British Empire, generating one of the most bloody and intense conflicts in the recent history of the Europe. The main motive that explains the conflict consists in the discrimination and inequalities that Catholics, as an ethnic minority, suffered from the Protestant, being them participation and them civil rights not recognized by the Protestant majority of the Northern Ireland territory, which contributed to the raising of the Irish nationalism based in multiplicity of economical, social, political, religious and military (and the presence of paramilitary movements) factors, being intimately linked with the occupation of Ireland by the Protestant and British settlers, considered as usurpation by the Catholic native people of Ireland, since the XII century. Although of the parts came to a consensus recently in the year of the 1998, the hostilities between ethnic communities remain still remain. These hostilities consist in the mistrust of elements of one community before another community ,motivated by past traumas related with the loss of family and friends, the nonexistence of links of friendship between republicans and unionists motivated by that same mistrust and due to the occurrence of deaths of British soldiers that died in 7th March 2009, attacked by the Real Irish Republican Army (Army) and the occurrence of deaths of civilians motivated by sectarian reasons and internal disputes in the these armed groups, leading to conclude that the peace will be not permanent in Northern Ireland .

Abstract:

This research attempts to describe the material culture of the Gaelic labouring classes living in western Ulster in the Late Medieval period. The research combines ethnohistorical contextual and technical scientific analysis of ‘chance’ finds discovered in the region’s bogs. Technical analysis dates fifteen museum objects, characterises the materials from which they were made, and explores their cultural significance. Absolute dating indicates that one third of the 15 objects analysed relate to the Gaelic lordships of late medieval western Ulster, with the remainder reflecting aspects of Iron Age and Post-Medieval material culture and related cultural pracrices. Contextual analysis of the later medieval objects and their find locations provides new insights into Gaelic Irish culture and landscape interactions in this period and place. In addition, the research explores the trajectory of indigenous materiality in western Ulster beyond the Late Medieval period. To this end, the thesis examines the relationship between Late Medieval indigenous materiality, and the folk material culture that emerges in western Ulster in the Modern period.

This thesis considers the political thought that has been threaded throughout the history of loyalist paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland since the outbreak of the modern troubles in the mid-1960s - a political voice that would often speak in more radical tones than anything else emanating from within a fractured Ulster unionism since the collapse of Stormont in 1972. The overview is grounded upon the historical experiences of the various political fi'onts associated with the Ulster Volunteer Force and Ulster Defence Association and will provide an original and gauged interpretation of the reasons for their comparative lack of success despite considerable promotion and encouragement from external parties. There will be particular focus throughout on the effect of Protestant public antipathy to loyalist paramilitary organisations and to their standard modus operandi regarding both targeting and criminal endeavour.

Abstract:

This study examines the changes to policing in Northern Ireland resulting from the report of the Independent Commission on Policing and how those changes affected the police officers who served throughout the period of change. The study concludes in 2009, ten years after the Patten report, which has been shown to be an important time span when implementing institutional change.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the ideological nexus of nationalism and heritage under the social conditions of neoliberalism. The investigation aims to demonstrate how neoliberal economics stimulate the irrationalism manifest in nationalist idealisation of the past. The institutionalisation of national heritage was originally a rational function of the modern state, symbolic of its political and cultural authority. With neoliberal erosion of the productive economy and public institutions, heritage and nostalgia proliferate today in all areas of social life. It is argued that this represents a social pathology linked to the neoliberal state's inability to construct a future-orientated national project. These conditions enhance the appeal of irrational nationalist and regionalist ideologies idealising the past as a source of cultural purity. Unable to achieve social cohesion, the neoliberal state promotes multiculturalism, encouraging minorities to embrace essentialist identity politics that parallel the nativism of right-wing nationalists and regionalists. This phenomenon is contextualised within the general crisis of progressive modernisation in Western societies that has accompanied neoliberalisation and globalisation. A new theory of activist heritage is advanced to describe autonomous, politicised heritage that appropriates forms and practices from the state heritage sector. Using this concept, the politics of irrational nationalism and regionalism are explored through fieldwork, including participant observation, interviews and photography. The interaction of state and activist heritage is considered at the Wewelsburg 1933-1945 Memorial Museum in Germany wherein neofascists have re-signified Nazi material culture, reactivating it within contemporary political narratives. The activist heritage of Israeli Zionism, Irish Republicanism and Ulster Loyalism is analysed through studies of museums, heritage centres, archaeological sites, exhibitions, monuments and historical re-enactments. These illustrate how activist heritage represents a political strategy within irrational ideologies that interpret the past as the ethical model for the future. This work contends that irrational nationalism fundamentally challenges the Enlightenment's assertion of reason over faith, and culture over nature, by superimposing pre-modern ideas upon the structure of modernity. An ideological product of the Enlightenment, the nation state remains the only political unit within which a rational command of time and space is possible, and thus the only viable basis for progressive modernity.

Abstract:

This thesis traces the migration of Irish Presbyterian clerics to the Thirteen Colonies and the United States over the course of the years 1683 to 1901. Further, it demonstrates that this clerical migration can be used in conjunction with what is already known about Irish Presbyterian migration to America in the eighteenth century to sketch the general shape and parameters of general Irish Presbyterian migration to the United States in the nineteenth century—something which seemed a near impossibility due to factors such as an absence of useable demographic data. In so doing, it posits a solution to a problem that has bedeviled specialists in Irish-American immigration for thirty years: how to find and study Irish Protestant immigrants in the nineteenth century in a way which gives some idea of the overall shape and frequency of the phenomenon. The following thesis is interdisciplinary and broad in the techniques employed, questions asked, and the literature it has consulted, incorporating much developed by historians of religion, ethnicity, culture, Colonial America, the United States, the Atlantic world, Ireland, and Britain in this study of emigration from Ireland and immigration to America.

Abstract:

This thesis identifies the early Irish Ulster Cycle of tales as a rich source of information relating to the nature and significance of sport-like activity in the ancient world. Taking the tales of the Ulster Cycle as its data, this thesis adopts a method of analysis which combines aspects of historical and postmodern philosophical processes. The relationships between and among sport, history, truth and fiction are investigated in determining the contribution that the early Irish Ulster Cycle of tales might offer the historian of sport. Central to this notion is the idea that an examination of the role and significance that sport-like activity plays in the Ulster tales might help produce useful and interesting descriptions and understandings of sport in general and sport history in particular. This thesis addresses several aspects of the role of sport-like activity in the tales, namely: the role of sport-like activity in the development of the Celtic „hero‟; the connection between sport-like activity and combat; the use of sport-like activity in gaining and maintaining social status; and, the role of women in the physical development of the hero. This thesis asserts some important conclusions regarding sport and games in the Ulster tales and their contribution to sport history. The Ulster tales do indeed contain salient references to sport-like activity. Sport-like activity plays a critical role in the definition and status of a warrior. The tales provide evidence of specialised warrior training and an identifiable pattern of martial education of which sport-like activity is a central component. Several women are trained in martial arts and play a primary role in the latter stages of the physical and martial education of warriors. Finally, the sport-like activity in the tales can be seen to contain evidence of an early sport ethic. In essence, this thesis offers a fresh contribution to the understanding of sport in the ancient world by way of an examination of the sport-like activity in the early Irish Ulster tales.
