The 1960S

AbstractCountry music has been popular in Ireland since the 1960s, most notably in the work of homegrown performers. Despite the durability of this appeal in the face of huge changes in Ireland and in the Irish music industry over a half-century, it remains curiously underexamined in the literature on Irish popular music. In this paper, I wish to argue the following: (1)Country music did not simply arise ‘naturally’ in Ireland as a reflection of musical or national characteristics: it was promoted as such.(2)Both popular and academic literature on the subject have tended to unreflectively echo the narrative that was introduced alongside the music in order to fix its audience.(3)In so doing, the literature reproduces a set of anxieties about modernity as it arrived in Ireland, about the postcolonial condition and about authenticity, even as it attempts to locate Irish popular music within these concerns.

The Subject

In many medieval calendars the calendar proper for each month is preceded or followed by a verse (or several verses) treating of one (or one each) of the following subjects: (a)the zodiacal sign(b)the number of solar days(c)the number of lunar days(d)the position of the nones(e)the Greek, Hebrew, and Egyptian names(f)the Roman traditions of the name and significance of the month(g)the climatic conditions (aeris qualitates)(h)the evil days (dies Aegyptiaci).The study of medieval calendars has been so much preoccupied with their chronological and heortological aspects that, to my knowledge, these verses have never been the subject of a comprehensive investigation. In many editions they have been omitted as extraneous matter.

I will try to cover three different examples on issues in which the Inter-American and the European Courts have had different approaches, some substantive, some methodological, regarding the following issues: 1.A substantive and radical difference in the approach of the right to appeal a criminal conviction;2.A substantive but slight difference in the approach of cases of involuntary or forced sterilization;3.An example of evolution from divergence to convergence in the subject of access to information; and4.A radical difference in the approach with respect to reparations.

Racial Mix

The use of popular music in post-Vietnam Hollywood war films has varied depending on the war being depicted. Swing, the popular music of World War II, goes almost entirely unrepresented in films depicting that war. Films about Vietnam have exploited the rich resource of popular music from the 1960s to characterize significant racial and class differences among American soldiers, typically pitting black Motown and soul music against white country music. Draft scripts for Apocalypse Now reveal how that film might have used late 1960s rock to emphasize the pathological nature of the American effort in Vietnam. Popular music in films about the all-volunteer, post-hip hop military suggest that racial tensions have abated, with a racial mix of soldiers enjoying a variety of musics. Films about twenty-first-century soldiers have almost no popular music, eliding well-documented practices of contemporary soldiers and denying civilian audiences potential points of connection by way of popular culture.

Tropical Climates

1.I have recently paid a visit to Egypt and Mesopotamia with the object of finding out the particular troubles that are experienced with aeroplanes and engines in tropical climates. My stay in those countries only lasted for a total of 41/2 weeks in July and August, and that, of course, is quite an insufficient time to get complete knowledge of the subject. In many cases I am afraid the information I shall give will be somewhat indefinite, but my main object is to indicate the troubles and leave their solution to other people.2.First as regards the climatic conditions. The general impression I got was that, as regards the effect on aircraft materials, Mesopotamia was very nearly as much worse than Egypt as Egypt is than England, so that although one may get a solution for a particular difficulty in Egypt, it does not necessarily follow that the same solution will get over the difficulty in Mesopotamia.

Semantic Agreement

Two variants of what looks like disagreement between a subject and a predicative adjective are explored: (i)(ii) Having shown how Construction NOM and Construction PROP differ, I demonstrate that the subject of Construction PROP is clausal. I argue that the topmost XP of the subject phrase of both constructions contains a null neuter element. This accounts for the neuter predicative agreement; hence the idea of default agreement or semantic agreement can be dismissed. I also argue that the subject in (ii) contains a vP, the head of which is a null light verb. Other instances of null light verbs in Swedish are identified too. Finally, I propose an analysis that accounts for the close relation between Construction PROP and the corresponding construction with a med-phrase ‘with-phrase’.

Atmospheric Seeing

The subject of this symposium is the fine structure of the solar chromosphere. Progress in this field of reserach will depend to a high degree of the quality of seeing, resp. on the effective angular resolution available on the ground. Today's situation of solar ground seeing has changed distinctly in the last years. I would like to report here a few new aspects, which could be condensed into 3 questions: (1)Are there on the ground ‘good seeing windows’, comparable in quality with stratosphere results obtained from balloon borne equipment?(2)Is there a chance to resolve from the ground the solar scale height, corresponding to about 0.1″.(3)Is there a residual fundamental atmospheric seeing noise resp. a basic limit to the atmospheric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)?

Two Parameter

We begin with Fig. 1, which somewhat aged though it may be still illustrates important aspects of the subject (Gascoigne 1971) (i)There is a clear division of cloud clusters into a blue and red group. The division corresponds to the mass around 2.51M⊙, at which core degeneracy first develops in stars approaching the giant branch. Such stars spend about three times as long on the giant branch and travel higher up it than the slightly heavier non-degenerate stars, and so dominate the colours of the clusters in which they occur.(ii)The red clusters are somewhat less luminous than the globular clusters in the galaxy. Freeman and Chun (1972) have shown from dynamic arguments that the cloud clusters are also less massive, by enough to keep the M/L ratios roughly the same as those in the galaxy.(iii)For a long time it has been taken that the blue clusters are young and the red clusters old. Thus the clouds present us with a truly two-parameter family of globular-like clusters, the parameters being of course age and abundance.

Airscrew development has proceeded along four main lines :– (1)Aerodynamic design.(2)Materials.(3)Adaptation to engine and aircraft.(4)Fans for cooling and ventilating purposes.Section (4) I have omitted. It may form the subject of a paper elsewhere. Section (1) I have barely outlined. It is of great interest, but I have concentrated on Sections (2) and (3) as being of immediate practical concern.
