IASIL ANNUALCONFERENCE

We must keep in mind that change, though lately speeded up, is not the especial attribute of our century: on the contrary, change has ever been at work.Elizabeth Bowen, ‘Listening In’

All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.W.B. Yeats, ‘Easter 1916’

Welcome to Cork

We are delighted to welcome you to University

College Cork. Tá áthas orainn fáilte a chur romhaibh

go Coláiste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh.

UCC last hosted IASIL in 1995, since which time the

extent of change – politically, socially, culturally, and

economically – has been profound, both nationally

and internationally. In 1994 the Celtic Tiger was born

in the pages of the Economist; few could then have

predicted its spectacular collapse and the turbulent

and challenging years that have followed the

economic crash around the world.

In recent years, literature and culture have acted as

resources for understanding and analyzing sometimes

destabilizing political and social changes, as well as

offering a vital alternative to frames of reference that

see value only in economic and financial terms.

Cork City and the Munster region offer a rich

background against which to consider these ideas

and themes. An important port city, Cork has been

part of successive moments of rapid modernization

in Ireland, as well as being the chief city of a region

in which transmission of traditional culture remains

to this day particularly strong and vibrant. To the

east of Cork, Cobh (Queenstown) acted as a point of

departure for over two million emigrants, who went

on to create new lives and new communities as part

of the Irish diaspora. Cork today benefits from a more

diverse population than ever, having in the past 20

years become home to migrants from Europe, Asia

and Africa.

In our choice of Change as a theme for this year’s

conference, however, we recognize the need to

go beyond current social and political concerns in

reflecting on the idea of change: to see change in

historical and cultural perspective; to consider the

shaping role of literature itself; to register the intense,

individual apprehension of moments of change; to

discuss the ways in which new forms and media

themselves generate changes. We look forward to

discussing these and other topics over the course of

the conference, and we hope that you enjoy your time

in Cork.

Wednesday Afternoon Excursions

Afternoon Trip to Cobh An excursion to Cobh Heritage Centre accompanied by Dr Heather Laird will take place on the afternoon of

Wednesday 27 July. The visit will include “The Queenstown Story” exhibition which will introduce delegates to

Ireland’s maritime history, from emigration and convict vessels to the ill-fated Titanic and Lusitania. There will

also be time to see the town of Cobh itself, historically Ireland’s most important port of emigration situated on

one of the world’s largest natural navigable harbours. http://www.cobhheritage.com/

Walking Tour of Cork As an alternative to the Cobh excursion, delegates may also choose to take a free guided walking tour of Cork

to learn about the city’s over 1,000-year history, from its earliest Medieval settlement to its links with Edmund

Spenser and Frank O’Connor.

Tour of Crawford Art GalleryA special guided tour of the “Conflicting Visions in a Turbulent Age, 1900 – 1916” exhibition at Crawford Art

Gallery by its curator Dr Éimear O’Connor, author of Seán Keating: Art, Politics and Building the Irish Nation

(2013) and editor of Irish Women Artists 1800 – 2009: Familiar but Unknown (2010). Tour begins at 15:30 and it

is possible to combine this with the Walking Tour of Cork.
