Féile na Carraige and the importance of local place
‘…the return to the local can be a form of resistance, a defensive response to globalisation, the struggles of those on the margins to reclaim some form of representation for themselves’- Stuart Hall

Nuair a scíobh fealsúnaí na heagnaíochta, Jean-Jacque Rosseau, fán phoblachtánachas agus fán tsaoranacht thiar i dtrémhse réabhlóideach na Fráince, labhair sé fá ‘shuáilce shibhialta agus fá mhacántacht pholaitiúil’ agus é ag moladh go mbeadh saoránaigh toilteanach ‘féin-íobairt’ a dhéanamh ar son an ‘leasa choitinn’ seachas muid bheith spreagtha ag féinleas agus féinspéis.
Language funding, funding astray
It was in the revolutionary sixties that the renowned activist and writer, Máirtín Ó Cadhain, wrote his final political pamphlet. It was in this essay, ‘the Irish language movement, a movement astray’ that Ó Cadhain spoke of the radical founding principles that had been abandoned by the official state language revival.
‘Voices of the Voiceless- ‘Cultures of Resistance’ October 15, 2015, Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich
‘The real aim of colonialism was to control the people’s wealth; what they produced, how they produced it, and how it was distributed; to control, in other words, the entire realm of the language of real life. Colonialism imposed its control of the social production of wealth through military conquest and subsequent political dictatorship. But its most important area of domination was the mental universe of the colonised, the control, through culture, of how people perceived themselves and their relationship to the world. Economic or political control can never be complete without mental control.’
Proceeds of ‘Language and Resistance’ book donated to Irish Medium Charity TACA
The proceeds raised from a book written on the Irish language revival in the North of Ireland have been donated to Irish Medium Education charity TACA.
