Authors: Ayoub Harith Ghanim , Alsarraj Mohammed F. Ibrahim
Published: May 2022

A New Design single feed dual band micro-strip patch antenna that implemented in GPS applications is presented. The suggested antenna based on two bands of GPS systems. they are L1=1.575 GHz and L2=1.227 GHz. The suggested antenna principally comprises two resonance frequencies with contents square patch, two semi-circle, two rectangular slots, S - shaped slot, two truncated slot and four circle slots in the ground plane, which fed by a 50 𝛺 coaxial probe, with over all area of 94*94 mm2. The software CST Microwave studio is used to build a simulation for the suggested antenna. The results of the simulation showed an impedance for bandwidth of 20 MHz between (1.56 GHz - 1.58 GHz) by using L1 band, while L2 band, it was 20 MHz between (1.21 - 1.23GHz). The results also showed that the circular polarization radiation can be obtained through a probe feeding at one of the diagonal lines of the patch. This antenna can reduce the loss in S11, impedance behavior, Gain and farfield radiation pattern.

Sosialisasi program perlindungan anak ini belum berjalan dengan efektif karena terbatasnya anggaran dan sumber daya manusia. Sedangkan indikator tujuan program belum efektif karena masih kurangnya sosialisasi sehingga masih banyak masyarakat yang tidak mengetahui apa saja tujuan dari program perlindungan anak.

Migration and Representation, from the Bildungsroman to the Testimonial Genre
Authors: Dobie Madeleine
Published: May 2022

Les Messagers (2015) is one of a growing number of experimental films and texts devoted to the subject of contemporary migrations. Over the last decade, productions in a wide array of genres and forms, including documentaries, docufictions, video installations and graphic novels, have attempted to render the situations that migrants regularly experience. The proliferation of these alternative genres and media reflects the urgency of their subject. It also stems from concerns about the assumptions and world-view underlying the public discourse of the “migrant crisis”—not least the perception that there is a fundamental and enforceable distinction between “refugees” and “economic migrants.” In their experimental forms, these works also respond to the unique linguistic, documentary and ethical challenges involved in depicting migration in its dominant contemporary forms. Departing from established conventions for representing migration they explore new, intermedial practices combining video, photography, poetry, testimony, music and dance and navigating among a multiplicity of languages. In Les Messagers, the migrants who appear in the film provide testimony about the harsh conditions experienced by migrants and the deaths occurring daily in the Mediterranean. They reveal that migration can be understood as a message: an act of communication addressed to the world.
Accidental Form, Mediterranean Transpositions, and New Francophonies in Malika Mokeddem’s La Désirante
Authors: Talbayev Edwige Tamalet
Published: May 2022

How may the Mediterranean as method propose a novel critical idiom colored by the specific material history of the sea to bear on current-day reflections on interculturality? With this interrogation in mind, I probe the contours of the new francophonies induced by Mediterranean crossings in a migratory context. I engage in a close reading of Malika Mokeddem’s “Mediterranean nomadism,” examined in relation to her novel La Désirante (2011). I read the eponymous desire underpinning the novel, which surges in the wake of loss and trauma, as a desire for “crossings,” taken in their rich polysemy as physical movement but also, and more important, as cultural and linguistic syncretism. The novel operates a “mise en récit” of identity that follows the ebb and flow of the maritime space here recalibrated as a tabula rasa on which the post-traumatic subject can project and perform her identity. By drawing on Iain Chambers’s work on “Mediterraneo blues” and Catherine Malabou’s Ontologie de l’accident, I examine the ramifications of this Mediterranean transposition of identity on the minor mode by probing the rich tension set up between ontological exile, deterritorialization, empathy for others, and the subject’s relation to (and inscription in) “tout un monde” (234).
Intersignes du Maroc
Authors: Esposito Claudia
Published: May 2022

An examination of the sustained ties between writers-artists Abdellatif Laâbi and Mahi Binebine reveals some of the most urgent questions for the contemporary Moroccan writer-artist in a postcolonial nation run by a heavy-handed State: historical repair through aesthetic innovation, an unremitting reflection on questions of disappearance and (in)visibility, and what it means to create both inside and outside language. Through the image of the penitentiary and of the detained, Laâbi and Binebine wage a critique of constraint and confinement writ large. This chapter investigates the emergence of a cultural aesthetic in Morocco that relies on multiple artistic forms of expression, and invites us into the interstices of form and the transpositions of mediums in order to question the very frameworks from which historico-political critiques arise.
Censorship
Authors: Kennedy Róisín
Published: May 2022

The chapter analyses the impact of censorship and an authoritarian Catholic ethos on the production and display of art in the immediate post-independence period. Three controversies indicate the complexities of this situation and its impact on the exhibition and public perception of modern art. The Free State government rejected Harry Clarke’s stained-glass Geneva Window for the International Labour Office in 1930. Its references to sexuality and to the mildly debauched subjects of contemporary Irish literature made the window unsuitable as a public monument to the new Irish state. The Irish American sculptor, Andrew O’Connor’s monument to Christ the King became mired in controversy. Intended for a site overlooking Dun Laoghaire harbour, the main entrance way into Ireland, it remained in packing cases for decades because of the opposition of influential Catholic clergymen and the deference of local government to their authority. The very public debate concerning Christ and the Soldier by one of Europe’s foremost modernist artists, Georges Rouault in 1942 saw Catholic clergymen and intellectuals siding with modern art and its ability to express communal and spiritual values. All three case-studies reveal how art was used to enforce or to challenge the prevailing climate of censorship and to further wider social agendas.
Facilitating
Authors: Kennedy Róisín
Published: May 2022

Chapter 5 examines the major contribution of Anglo-Irish women artists to the development and wider acceptance of Modern Art in Ireland. It assesses the work and writings of Mainie Jellett whose abstract-cubist painting, Decoration caused indignation when shown in Dublin in 1923. Although initially greeted with suspicion, her pious version of abstract art increasingly appealed to the conservative tastes of the Irish middle classes. This sedate version of the modern movement was assimilated into the cultural horizons of those who were content with the stability which moderate nationalism and Catholicism had brought to Irish life. Having established an influential position in contemporary Irish culture, the work of these female artists was dismissed as derivative in the 1960s. The animosity towards what was now seen as a colonial and provincial tradition of Irish modernism intensified in the following years. The backlash was also gendered in its focus. It coincided with the Troubles which provoked a reassessment of the role of the artist in times of political strife. The latter confusion is exemplified by Micheal Farrell’s Madonna Irlanda, Ireland’s First Political Painting which encapsulates the conflicted attitude towards women in modern Ireland and its compounded relationship with the idea of the nation.

Conclusion
Authors: Brady Deirdre F.
Published: May 2022

This chapter assesses the impact and influence of the Women Writers’ Club and questions the reasons for its occlusion from literary history. As an act of cultural retrieval, it posits that the book reveals new perspectives on the period, challenging received assumptions of a stagnant intellectual scene, and a decidedly male-orientated field. It suggests that methodologies which use the history of the book approach can open the way for future scholarship in examining the role of collaborative networks and connections in cultural production and offers a blueprint for the act of archival excavation. The chapter pinpoints the successes of the Women Writers’ Club as a supportive group of professional women writers, activists, and powerful political women, who promoted women’s writing, and joined with their network of international feminists to drive forward an emancipatory agenda and human rights ethos. Finally, it evaluates its legacy to Irish literary history.

Authenticity and Sincerity
Authors: Smith Carrie
Published: May 2022

The chapter focuses on Moortown Diary (1989), a collection that constitutes a break in style and practice for Hughes. The chapter explores the idea of spontaneous authenticity of composition foregrounded in the published paratext, and how this notion interacts with, or is often placed by Hughes in opposition to, poetic process in the farming poems of Moortown Diary. The manuscripts of the collection allow us to explore Hughes’s description of the poems as ‘improvised verses’ with little or no revision at the end of the farming day as well as placing them in dialogue with Romantic ideas of spontaneity and sincerity in composition. The second half of the chapter rethinks the apparent opposition between authenticity and poetic craft through detailed attention to the elegiac poems for Jack Orchard, arguing that the drafts of these poems reclaim a longer process of composition as Hughes attempts to navigate the difficult road of authentically articulating grief.
The Revolutionary Left
Authors: Hepworth Jack
Published: May 2022

This chapter analyses how republicans negotiated left-wing ideas within an enduring master frame which emphasised the British presence, rather than global capitalism, as its enemy. It disaggregates the structural pressures towards radicalism, particularly in an international context, and the importance of local circuits and milieux in mitigating socialism’s impact on republicanism. While socialism was an important influence throughout the Provisional republican movement, a powerful tradition in Irish republicanism persistently stressed the primacy of the distinctly nationalist struggle, even to the point of national exceptionalism. Analysing republican engagements with the Soviet Union and the so-called ‘Third World’ in the 1970s, alongside republicans’ socioeconomic programmes and leftist critiques in the 1980s, this chapter assesses how divergent interpretations of class politics and networks within the movement informed republicans’ global politics.

Introduction
Authors: Haynes Lloyd
Published: May 2022

One of the most inventive and dynamic horror films of the last 40 years, Sam Raimi’s debut feature THE EVIL DEAD transcends its modest budget and limited resources by embarking on a turbulent and phantasmagorical journey into a gore-soaked Hell. The primary aim of the book is to consider exactly what it is that makes the film function as well as it does – is it simply the overwhelming enthusiasm of the novice filmmakers, or is there some inherent quality in the script, direction or cinematography that allows it to soar high above the dank Tennessee woods where it was shot? The introductory chapter includes a full synopsis of THE EVIL DEAD.
‘The Number One Nasty’
Authors: Haynes Lloyd
Published: May 2022

This chapter focuses on the distribution, exhibition and critical reaction to THE EVIL DEAD. The film was picked up for North American distribution by Irvin Shapiro and New Line Cinema, and it was Shapiro who suggested that Raimi and Co publicise the film extensively in Europe to garner as much international interest as possible. It was at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival that Stephen King, promoting CREEPSHOW, first saw the movie and his glowing endorsement in a ‘Twilight Zone’ magazine article stimulated considerable interest. In Britain, THE EVIL DEAD attracted the attention of Palace Pictures, who distributed the film both theatrically and on video, together with numerous late-night screenings at London’s Scala Cinema. However, the film fell victim to the tabloid press obsession with ‘video nasties’ and THE EVIL DEAD was subsequently banned on video in the UK, with morality campaigner Mary Whitehouse describing it as ‘that evil film’ and ‘the number one nasty’.
The Influence and Legacy of The Evil Dead
Authors: Haynes Lloyd
Published: May 2022

The final chapter examines the film’s two sequels, EVIL DEAD II and ARMY OF DARKNESS, and it’s revival on television with ASH VS. EVIL DEAD. EVIL DEAD II is a bigger budgeted, gleefully outrageous exercise in black humour and flesh-crawling horror, as much a remake as a sequel; ARMY OF DARKNESS is markedly different, set in medieval Europe and with an emphasis on action rather than gore. Also considered are the later films which have been influenced by THE EVIL DEAD, from the neo-noir BLOOD SIMPLE to the body horror CABIN FEVER and the clever CABIN IN THE WOODS. There is also the official remake, EVIL DEAD, which replaces the dynamic attitude of the original with standard horror theatrics.
“Don’t Expect it to Tango; it has a Broken Back.” Re-Animator and 1980s Horror
Authors: Falvey Eddie
Published: May 2022

This chapter positions Re-Animator within the wider landscape of American horror. It explores the shift from the seriousness of 1970s horrors to the rise of the slasher subgenre that peaked in the early 1980s. Placing Re-Animator in the aftermath of these contexts, this chapter considers how the improvement of gore effects marked a shift from slashers to splatter horror films and how that brought introduced a sense of irony that led to the horror-comedies that dominated the mid to late 1980s, starting with Ghostbuters and Gremlins. The chapter continues to state that the appreciation of horror-comedies was often based on the audience’s recognition of their reflexive or intertextual elements. As such, films like Re-Animator were heavily indebted to horror history, as seen in its revitalisation of the mad science subgenre made popular by Frankenstein.
“There’s no Place like old England”
Authors: Corporaal Marguérite
Published: May 2022

This chapter will move beyond existing research on the Dublin-born Mary Davys by examining her underexplored work as a dramatist. It will focus on representations of regional and national identity in The Northern Heiress (1716), in light of two facts that suggest marginality from the cosmopolitan “centre” of London: Davys’s position as a writer from Ireland; and the play’s setting of the city of York, where upper-class people of leisure from the South of England encounter the industrious, money-making classes of the North. The central question will be: in what ways does the play negotiate and even question issues of centre and periphery? A link will be made to the tendency among other London-based Irish playwrights to set their “English” works in the “provinces” and not London.
Reimagining Maria Edgeworth’s The Knapsack (1801) for a Contemporary Young Audience
Authors: McDonagh Fiona , Mac Lochlainn Marc
Published: May 2022

Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth was one of the most prominent writers of adults’ and children’s literature at the turn of the nineteenth century. Having written six plays for children, we may now consider her one of the first Irish Theatre for Young Audience (TYA) playwrights. TYA is a theatrical experience intended specifically for an audience of children. In 1801, Edgeworth wrote The Knapsack, a home theatrical as part of her Moral Tales collection. The play, set in Sweden, deals with a family waiting on news of its loved one’s survival at war, and at times it presents complicated truths about war and social classes. In this chapter, two TYA practitioners consider how this play might be staged in contemporary times. They explore possible performance choices, concerns and challenges that they might negotiate as they ask how this play might speak to a young audience now.

This chapter examines Clotilde Graves’s hit comedy, A Mother of Three (1896), and the play’s use of costume to communicate its message of Social Purity feminism and female economic agency. In the play, Mrs Murgatroyd – the titular mother of three – must disguise herself as a man in the absence of her husband. While theatrically Graves uses female cross-dressing to humorous effect, in her own life she used it for professional advantage, preferring the masculine attire of the New Woman and the gender-ambiguous pen name “Clo.” This chapter explores how, both theatrically and practically, Graves played with blurring the visual boundaries of gender roles, contrasting and combining petticoats and trousers to advocate for a new way for both men and women to be in the world.
Corruption and Socio-Political Tensions in Christine Longford’s Tankardstown (1948)
Authors: O’Connor Kevin
Published: May 2022

Tankardstown or A Lot to be Thankful For (1948) is Christine Longford’s best loved and most successful play. The play is a satire on the attitudes of the Irish nouveau riche counterpointed with the uptight conservatism of the old, landed gentry and the “anthropological gaze” of English visitors to Ireland. Longford’s piercing observations regarding 1940s Ireland include bracing reflections on the nation’s troubled relationships with financial and political corruption. She predicts a future boom/bust economy fueled by local greed and opportunism, thereby displaying an acute awareness of how cynical “cute hoorism” weaves its pervasive influence through all strata of Irish society. To strengthen this contention, the chapter demonstrates that the commercial and political actions undertaken by the character of Mr. Manifold can be compared to the activities of later politicians such as Charles Haughey, Albert Reynolds, Bertie Ahern, Michael Lowry and the Healy-Raes.
A Partial Eclipse
Authors: O’Beirne Patricia
Published: May 2022

This chapter focuses on Patricia Burke Brogan’s Eclipsed, which premiered in Galway and Edinburgh in 1992. Eclipsed highlights the injustice and cruelty inherent in the Magdalen institutions at a time when some laundries were still functioning. Interestingly, Burke Brogan may be considered a witness as well as a playwright; as a novice nun in the late 1950s she worked in the Galway Magdalene Laundry. Eclipsed unambiguously places nuns’ bodies on stage, a decision which puts it at odds with most recent dramatic work engaging with the Magdalene laundries. The stories of the nuns who worked in the laundries remain largely untold as the religious orders involved in the running of the institutions have regrettably refused to allow access to their archival material. This chapter approaches Burke Brogan’s play in an exploratory manner, to contest this “sisterly” silence and to nuance and contextualise the role of the religious in the laundries.
Directing Marina Carr’s
Authors: Scaife Sarah Jane
Published: May 2022

This chapter follows a project that began in Beijing Foreign Studies University in 2008. As part of a workshop in Irish Drama, we concentrated on Marina Carr’s By the Bog of Cats… (1998). The workshop culminated in a public presentation of the two scenes from By the Bog of Cats… in Mandarin and in English. This was to be the start of a project that would take over two years to complete, the full translation into Mandarin of By the Bog of Cats… by Li Yuan. This chapter looks at the practicalities involved in the staging of a play from Ireland with actors and audiences from China. It explores the restrictions, misunderstandings, and joys of attempting to present a play embedded in one culture with a cast and audience members embedded in a very different culture.

Unconscious Casting

“The staging of the wall is an invitation,” Stacey Gregg writes in her notes for her play Shibboleth (2015). This invitation – and the ways in which it was taken up in its Abbey production – is the focus of this chapter. Centred on a group of brickies hired to build a new Peace Wall in a post-Peace Agreement Belfast, Shibboleth explores how the (masculine) violence of the past continues to assert itself in the present. Woven throughout the human drama is the figure of The Wall itself which, under Hamish Pirie’s direction, took on the form of a brassy 1950’s female rockabilly singer, frequently backed-up with vocals from the three women of the play. This chapter interrogates the impact of directorial interpretations of women’s writing and the ways in which these can undermine the themes of the text, particularly as regards issues of gender and representation.
Paternalism and Nationalism in Tagore’s Writings
Authors: Mohite Ragini
Published: May 2022

This chapter shines light on the complex interweaving of paternalism and nationalism in two of Tagore’s political novels: Gora and The Home and the World. It is cognizant that Tagore speaks to key moments of India’s colonial history which include the First War of Independence in 1857, the 1859 Indigo Revolt, the swadeshi movement, and the 1905 partition of Bengal. Gora takes us to the colonial periphery and allows Tagore a mediation on the caste and class-based paternalism often underlying nationalist and reform movements and the complex positioning of Irish soldiers in India in ways pertinent to the discussions of race in contemporary postcolonial criticism. Meanwhile, The Home and the World enables a narrative discourse on nationalist symbolism and the different formulations of nationalism itself. This chapter examines such issues within the framework of international interlocutors like Sister Nivedita and W. E. B. Du Bois, generic innovations, translation, and the proliferation of texts through periodicals.
Yeats and the Purgatorial, Hierarchal Model
Authors: Mohite Ragini
Published: May 2022

This chapter examines Yeats’s engagement with his South Asian interlocutors like Rabindranath Tagore, Mohini Chatterjee and Shri Purohit Swami, and his own anxieties about the Anglo-Irish place in independent Ireland. It will show that Yeats’s spiritualist interests and engagement with concepts like caste and advaita influence not just his poems and esoteric works but also plays like The Countess Cathleen and Purgatory. The chapter makes the case that these influences have some bearing on Yeats’s evolving engagement with ideas of legacy, patronage, inheritance and eugenics through his career—in poetry and other genres of his writing— which have, in recent years, received significant critical attention.
Art on Her Own Terms
Authors: Foley O'Connor Elizabeth
Published: May 2022

The long-term impact of Afro-Jamaican Anansi stories on Colman Smith’s life and work, which has not been previously examined, is the subject of Chapter 4. Looking at Colman Smith’s Anansi stories alongside others from the same period, this chapter demonstrates that her novel variations only increased as she matured as a feminist artist and repeatedly returned to these tales both in print and through her Anansi performances. The chapter then considers Colman Smith’s “music pictures,” which allowed her to experience psychic images that were unleashed through listening to music. Alfred Stieglitz hosted three exhibitions of these paintings at his 291 gallery in New York. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there were many similarities between the reception of her “music pictures” and her Anansi performances. While critics initially praised the imaginative, original, and childlike aspects of Colman Smith’s art, they increasingly lamented her supposed technical deficiencies, and lost interest and even mocked them. I argue that this critical reception discloses the connections between racism and misogyny that permeated her critical reception in both the U.S. and Britain.
Introduction
Authors: Nemmers Adam
Published: May 2022

This chapter introduces the genre of American moderni(ist) epic, drawing from the literary theory of Bakhtin, Lukacs, and Moretti to draw a distinction between ancient, poetic epic (such as The Odyssey) and modern(ist), prose epic (Ulysses). Beginning with the national quest for epic common to the nineteenth century, I chronicle various American efforts to form a “national book” as poetry gave way to prose. This introduction further theorizes about certain innovations that modernism brought to epic in order to better encapsulate and represent the modern world. Finally, I include capsule summaries of each epic novel this volume covers.
A Kind of Communist Pilgrim’s Progress
Authors: Nemmers Adam
Published: May 2022

This chapter fully analyzes H. T. Tsiang’s The Hanging on Union Square, a modern(ist) epic novel that intends to subvert the longstanding American ideology of capitalism. Mr. Nut, the novel’s protagonist, undergoes a radical transformation, from capitalist apologist and “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” to Marxist renegade. Along the way, Tsiang sends him on a proletarian odyssey in Lower Manhattan, as he encounters the city’s down and out and comes to understand the injustice of the American capitalist system, especially during the Great Depression. Full of bizarre happenings and wry, wacky humor, Hanging offers a path to enlightenment for downtrodden Americans, who by following the example of Nut might come to join the Marxist movement and “turn their guns” on the “System.”
Introduction
Authors: Hall Michael Ra-Shon
Published: May 2022

Using the paradox of freedom and confinement to frame African American experiences and expressions of mobility, generally, and travel, specifically, the introduction discusses a host of travel narratives African Americans wrote and published between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As the introduction argues, African American travel narratives do more than document the presence of African Americans as travelers across the globe. They also illustrate the pressing need for comfort and security in travel that motivated the black press to provide such voluminous and foundational coverage of travel conditions as well as advice. The dual perils and possibilities of travel created a situation where African Americans could hardly be certain of their safety in mobility, so they turned to a number of sources for critical information on travel conditions, notably the black press and travel guides (in addition to word of mouth). The black press became a significant source not only due to the diversity of perspectives offered, but also due to the black press’s history of documenting incidents of violence precipitated by European American prejudices against African Americans who dared challenge the logic and practices of white supremacy as it insinuated itself deeply into all aspects of US society.
