Seachtain na Gaeilge is an annual celebration of the Irish language, and has been running since 1903. In Poznan in 2020, we marked it at the Faculty of English by inviting visitors from Ireland, France and the Embassy of Ireland in Warsaw to discuss how Irish is being maintained, revived and transformed in the 21st century.

Dr Sara Brennan (Université de Lorraine) discussed how the symbolic use of the language can lead people back to re-engaging with it; Dr Cassie Smith-Christmas (NUIG) explored the place of Irish in the multilingual repertoire of Polish families living in Ireland; Prof. Tadhg Ó hIfearnáin (NUIG) showed how the number of ‘core’ speakers of Irish in one Gaeltacht has not actually decreased, in contrast to the number of ‘casual’ Irish speakers; and Dr John Walsh (NUIG) looked at the revitalisationist founding aims of two community radio stations broadcasting in Irish and how the actual use of the language works out in practice. The seminar was opened by Dominic Berkeley, Second Secretary at the Embassy of Ireland, and the Dean of the Faculty of English, Prof. Joanna Pawelczyk, welcomed both the guests and the audience members, drawn from within and outside the Faculty. The Centre for Celtic Studies and the Faculty of English wish to acknowledge the financial support of the
Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in running this event.

This seminar, as part of *Seachtain na Gaeilge 2020*, and hosted by the Centre for Celtic Studies, looks at the concept of language revitalisation, particularly in the context of the Irish language. Four speakers from NUI Galway and the Université de Lorraine will present papers outlining their understanding of how the revitalisation of Irish can be understood through an examination of the myriad of subtle and new ways of use that the language is being put to in the 21st century.

This is an open event and all are welcome to attend, but RSVP to mhornsby@wa.amu.edu.pl, since space is limited. Cuirfimid fáilte roimh chách!

"The Reason You Walk":
Indigenous Life Writing and Differentiated Citizenship

by

Prof. Dr. Katja Sarkowsky

Friday, February 28, 13:15
Sala Górna, Collegium Heliodori

In the study of Anglophone Canadian literatures, the past fifteen years have seen a surge of interest in the concept of citizenship. In this debate, Indigenous literatures – and Indigenous life writing in particular – serve as a particularly poignant reminder of what Iris Marion Young has called “differentiated citizenship” – citizenship that takes group-specific positionality into account. Indigenous peoples in the US and Canada are often structurally positioned as both citizens of the nation-sate and citizens of tribal nations, and many writers make this complex constellation an explicit concern. In this talk, I will briefly outline the complexities and complication of reading Indigenous life writing as negations of citizenship before I set out to look at two autobiographical texts by Indigenous politicians and activists as stories of citizenship, Wab Kinew’s The Reason You Walk (2015) and Sheila Watt-Cloutier’s The Right to Be Cold (2015). Neither exclusively personal not a mere political tool, it enables both authors, in very different ways, to scrutinize hegemonic understandings of membership and belonging, the tensions of competing allegiances in a multicultural and multinational nation state, and thus to critically negotiate notions of community and political agency between local, national, and even global concerns.

Language and Complex Systems in Text Analysis

by

Professor William Kretzschmar

Friday, January 17, 11:45 a.m.
Sala Górna, Collegium Heliodori

The basic elements of speech (i.e., language in use, what people actually say and write to and for each other) correspond to what has been called a “complex system” in sciences ranging from physics to ecology to economics (Kretzschmar, Language and Complex Systems, Cambridge UP, 2015). I will introduce the principles of complexity science in a non-technical way, and then apply properties of complexity to text analysis. Complex systems shows us, through its property of scale-free nonlinear distributions, the special features of language in any author's work or any group of texts. Common statistical techniques from Natural Language Processing, as in Sentiment Analysis, do not address nonlinear distributions and so they often fail to provide convincing results. The key is to use comparisons effectively, between one author and a group of authors, or between a group of texts and a representation of common language. The everpresent nonlinear curve gives us a good visual means to identify important results. Thus, we can apply the significance of frequency distributions and scaling to problems we need to address with corpora, and do so without having to use highly technical math or statistics.

Definitions of suicide. A discourse analysis

ABSTRACT


Mainstream suicidology has for years been criticised for failing to engage with contextual, social and individual aspects of suicide. Such critique has usually focused on the positivist, quantitative paradigm of dominant suicidological research. In this paper I suggest a new dimension of such critiques by focusing on dominant suicidological discourse – dominant definitions of suicide. My argument is three-fold. First, I argue that, in the definitions, suicide is constructed either by its result (death) or as an event which happens outside any agency or any spatial, temporal or social context. Second, that those who kill themselves are systematically backgrounded in the definitions. Finally, I contextualise my findings by juxtaposing them with representations of suicide in genuine suicide notes, which, in contrast, constructed suicide as primarily social.
