Romy Dawson

Thinking about Ireland’s Future, Then and Now
Philipp W. Rosemann
Read Article Summary
€7.00 Purchase Single ArticleWhat would we like Ireland to look like in 2030? In what kind of society do we want to live, on both sides of the border? This seems like a simple question. 2030 is just seven years away, so surely politicians, intellectuals, journalists, and the general public are busy imagining our future. But this is not really happening. Initiatives like Project Ireland 2040, a national development plan for the Republic of Ireland, have in the past several years been overshadowed by emergencies that have demanded all our attention: climate change, Brexit, the Covid pandemic, and now the war in Ukraine. These emergencies have forced us to into a reactive, crisis-response mode. There is a sense that events are unfolding so fast that we can hardly keep up. This raises the question: Are we still shaping our future or are we merely adapting, breathlessly, to the rapid changes that characterize life in the twenty-first century?

Three Parables from Luke- The Vision of Peter Steele SJ
Gerald O’Collins
Read Article Summary
€7.00 Purchase Single ArticleThree parables from St Luke’s Gospel provide themes for sonnets composed by Australian Jesuit, the late Peter Steele (1939–2012) and are quoted here with permission: ‘Man on Donkey’ (Lk 10:25–37), ‘Prodigal’ (15:11–32), and ‘Lazarus at the Gate’ (16:19–31). In none of the three cases does the poet attempt to translate into verse the entire parable. His sonnets regularly take up only sections of the parables.
Beaten, still breathing, as awkward as a dog,
He swags across the donkey, unaware
Of who’s beside them, footsore in the slog
Uphill for shelter and a kind of care. -
Trinity College Chapel Choir: Profiling Chorister Perceptions
Kerry Houston and Marita Kerin
Read Article Summary
€7.00 Purchase Single ArticleThe Trinity College Dublin Chapel Choir is an institution that dates from the seventeenth century. Until recently, however, very little information existed on the chapel choristers themselves. The current study, which is the first study of the chapel choristers to be published, is designed to fill this lacuna. It is composed of two parts, which will be shared across two issues of Studies. This first part covers the findings from an investigation into how current chapel choristers view the musical, spiritual, and social aspects of their experience, revealing new cultural perspectives of affiliation, achievement and agency. But first a historical overview of the Chapel Choir at Trinity College.
