Is saothar nuálaíoch é Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh agus an Fhís Útóipeach Ghaelach a dhéanann athbhreithniú ar an meon a spreag giniúint agus fás ghluaiseacht na hathbheochana in Éirinn ó aimsir an fin de siècle ar aghaidh. These figures included Éamon de Valera, Agnes O’Farrelly, William Rooney, Henry Morris, Thomas Concannon, Éamon O’Neill, George Moonan, Máire Ní Chillín, Stiofán Bairéad, Michael Mullen, and many others. The purpose of this essay is to examine the educational ideology of the “Irish Fireside Club” and determine its formative and enduring influence upon the leading public figures of the early twentieth century who came of age during the fin de siècle. Its teachings reflected the growing cultural nationalist current in Irish society, as it focused on the academic study of the Irish language, history and literature, along with promoting social instruction concerning equality of the sexes, self-sufficiency, independence and the need for unity to enable social progress. The “Irish Fireside Club” was a newspaper column (attached for most of its lifespan to the Weekly Freeman) that developed into the largest children’s association in Ireland in the late 1880s, with tens of thousand of child members. Return from the west : a poetics of voice in Irish (1999).Coleman, Steve. This dissertation is perhaps unique in its attempt to analyze these dynamics through the medium of voice-the range of practices and ideologies governing the reception and transmission of reported speech. Irish-speakers engage in a complex dialogue with the power and authority of the Irish state, its ideologies, and those of the wider world beyond. I use the history of Ráth Cairn as a framework for investigating the use of traditional forms of rhetoric by rural Irish- speakers in their negotiations with the state. The Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking community) of Ráth Cairn, County Meath, was founded in 1935 as a result of grass-roots political agitation-Irish speakers in the West demanding good land in the East. I also show how unique individuals contribute to and transform these traditions. By studying this process, I show how one tradition constitutes itself as such, while constituting its own tradition bearers as recognizable social persons. Voicing functions through textualizing various behaviors, making them emblems of particular (as well as generic) personalities. On another level, this dissertation explores the connections a local community makes between cultural forms and persons. I argue that these conflicts also involve "voice," since they center on the nature and identities of populations, ideological constructions of who the "best" or most typical Irish speakers are. A range of historical and political issues are centered around the nature and definition of Irish-speaking communities, conflicts over genre, code-switching, dialect and standardization, and the peculiar position of Irish as both a national and a minority language. This dissertation centers on a range of practices in spoken and written Irish involving the construction and transmission of poetic "voice." These range from quotation and imitation in conversation to a whole range of types and uses of direct discourse in verbal art, including literature.
