“…49 Finally, for left leaning cause lawyers at least, our own backgrounds as Irish human rights activists may have helped offset some of our baggage as white Northern academics. 50 Finally, qualitative research, particularly with 'politically conscious actors', 51 is always vulnerable to the charge that elite-level interviewees such as lawyers or politicians will speak to a particular political or cultural script. While we make no claims regarding the objective 'truth' of the findings herein, validity checks regarding interviewee data were made before, during, and after the fieldwork to verify (insofar as possible) the accounts offered.…”

This book is about what lawyers do in challenging contexts of conflict, authoritarianism, and the transition from violence. It is also, inevitably, about law, politics, and the ways in which lawyers engage with both. There is, of course, much academic discussion on law as an instrument of repression, a means of legitimating authoritarian regimes, and a key element of how societies in transition deal with the legacy of a violent past. 1 Our analysis is naturally informed by such scholarship. However, our primary focus is upon lawyers as 'real people' working in very difficult circumstances. 2 To find out more about what lawyering was like in such contexts, we conducted over 130 interviews in six sites -

An Irish diasporic translator: Louise Swanton Belloc and the diffusion of Irish writing in nineteenth-century France

Translation rarely features in modern Irish diaspora studies, which have sometimes been accused of an Anglocentric monolingual bias. This article explores possibilities for a renewed attention to Irish diasporic translators in the modern period by recovering the neglected figure of Louise Swanton Belloc (1796-1881), the daughter of an officer in the Irish Brigades in France. Besides producing French versions of English classics, Swanton Belloc did much to disseminate Irish writing and promote Irish causes in 19th-century France. An examination of several translations and of their paratextual apparatus charts Swanton's evolution as a diasporic translator, from an early translation that was categorised as English literature by her French publisher to an increasing assertion of the Irish dimension of the translated material -sometimes bringing out Irish features that were only latent in the original. The discussion of Swanton Belloc's choices and strategies as a translator of and commentator on Irish writing is complemented by references to personal archival material that survives. Finally, the Franco-Irish translator's twofold affiliation to Irish causes and to the English language underscores the paradoxes of mediators whose bilingualism provides an interface between more than two national cultures. Her case suggests that diasporic translation can both find inspiration in and unsettle notions of origins, Irish or other.

Background: The article uses fieldwork conducted among data centre professionals in Ireland to theorize the relationship between “hosting” and local business culture at the heart of data supply chains. Analysis: There has been a growth in data centres in Ireland since the 2007–2008 financial crisis, and technology companies have overtaken finance in the country’s business cultures and strategies. Companies and semi-state institutions use conferences, promotional materials, and knowledge dissemination events to advertise Ireland as a place to host data and business. Conclusion and implications: This article concludes that the logics by which local culture and global business cooperate can be better understood by looking at middle managers and the facilitators of data supply chains in addition to macro-scale processes. Contexte : Cet article se base sur un travail de terrain effectué parmi les professionnels de centres de données en Irlande afin de théoriser la relation entre « hébergement » et la culture d’entreprise locale qui est au cœur des chaînes d’approvisionnement de données. Analyse : On a pu observer une croissance du nombre de centre de données en Irlande depuis la crise financière de 2007–2008. Au même moment, les sociétés technologiques ont pris le pas sur la finance dans les cultures d’entreprise et les stratégies nationales. Les sociétés et les institutions semi-étatiques utilisent les colloques, les matériaux publicitaires et les événements de diffusion de la connaissance dans le but de promouvoir l’Irlande comme lieu d’hébergement des données et des entreprises. Conclusion et implications : L’article conclut que les logiques de coopération entre la culture locale et les entreprises mondiales peuvent être mieux comprises si l’on s’attache aux gestionnaires intermédiaires et à ceux qui facilitent les chaînes d’approvisionnement de données en plus des processus à l’échelle macro.
