Trinity College’s Long Room Hub, a new initiative that is set to transform research in the arts, humanities and social sciences was launched on Wednesday, 14 June 2006 by Senator Maurice Hayes and the Chair of the American Ireland Fund, Dr Loretta Brennan Glucksman. To mark the occasion a colloquium and poster exhibition was held to showcase some of the new research projects in Trinity. This collection is a record of that event. http://hdl.handle.net/2262/1359 2013-05-23T22:21:34Z 2013-05-23T22:21:34Z Rowley, Ellen http://hdl.handle.net/2262/22439 2010-06-03T15:56:38Z 2006-06-13T23:00:00Z

Title: The discourse of Irish architecture, 1945-1990: a social and cultural history of the role and reception of architecture in post-war Ireland Author: Rowley, Ellen Abstract: In the first instance this thesis broadly examines and situates the world of architectural production in Ireland during the period from post-World War II to the early 1990s. It then seeks to interpret both the role and reception of architecture in Irish society at this time.

Title: Images, representations and heritage: moving beyond modern approaches to archaeology Author: Russell, Ian Abstract: This poster describes a new edited volume by Ian Russell. Recent archaeological theory has shown that images of the past have carried a particularly strong resonance within modern social groups. This volume explores the immeasurable impact that the phenomenon of archaeology has had on the representation of the past in the modern world. This volume begins a discourse on the implications of performing archaeology in a world dominated by modern trends of mass production, mass replication and representation of cultural forms and mass consumption of images of the past. The contributors explore to what extent we are experiencing a crisis of representation of the past due to contemporary consumption of mass-produced replicas, simulations, images and experiences of the past. To work through this crisis the contributors in this volume are exploring opportunities for development within archaeological thought and practice. This volume signals a fundamental revision of archaeology - not what it is, but what it can do.

Title: Reflexive representations: an artistic exploration of some archaeological theory Author: Russell, Ian; Cochrane, Andrew Abstract: These exhibitions seek to contest traditional mechanisms for representation and spectatorship by questioning the status that the document and pictorial image play in archaeological discourse. Photomosaics of iconic archaeologists and archaeological monuments are constructed through the manufacture of archives of public images available over internet search engines. By juxtaposing the figures of archaeologists or archaeological artefacts with a collage of public images, the pieces reveal the manufacture of representations of archaeological identities (archaeologists) and that of the artefacts and monuments with which they work.

Title: Late Gothic architecture in Ireland Author: O'Donovan, Danielle Abstract: The aim of this research is the recontextualization of Irish late Gothic architecture. The study seeks to isolate the pattern of architectural development within the country and to place it in a broader European architectural setting. The primary research tool is the analysis of moulding profiles, the patterns carved into masonry by those responsible for designing the building.

Title: Unmarried mothers and infanticide in Ireland, 1900-1950 Author: Rattigan, Clíona Abstract: Infanticide was committed regularly in Ireland during the first half of the twentieth century. It was a crime that was closely associated with unmarried mothers. Most single women charged with infanticide or concealment of birth during the first half of the twentieth century were from working-class backgrounds and had been employed as domestic servants. This project will also examine infanticide cases that were tried in Northern Ireland and bring to light infanticide cases involving Irish women that came before the courts in Britain during the period under review.

Title: The architectural patronage of the early Anglo-Norman lords of Ireland Author: Unkel, Jill Abstract: The aim of my research is to examine the patronage of the early Anglo-Norman lords, both ecclesiastical and secular, and to determine if their voices can be witnessed in the architecture of the monuments that they endowed.

Title: John Rocque’s Exact survey of the city and suburbs of Dublin, 1756: an art historical and archaeological analysis Author: Montague, John Abstract: John Rocque’s four-sheet Exact survey of the city and suburbs of Dublin, 1756, was the most comprehensive and detailed mapping of any city in these islands before the establishment of the Ordnance Survey in the early-19th century. Rocque was responsible for city maps throughout Europe including ones of Rome, Paris and London. However despite their considerable detail and large scale – the London map comprised 24 sheets and measured 7ft by 13ft – they were all limited to the depiction of the city block. The Dublin map, by contrast, was the only one to provide a detailed plan of every single house plot, out-building, avenue, laneway, courtyard and garden, within the precincts of the mid-18th-century city. In my PhD research in the History of Art Department on the 1756 survey, I am looking to make a systematic study of this map as an art historical artefact of rare significance in European cartography, as well as using it as a primary source for the archaeology of the mid-18th-century city.
