Nationalism And Identity

The article examines the case of Mir Aulad Ali, the nineteenth-century Professor of Arabic, Hindustani and Persian at Trinity College Dublin. Using a combination of archival material and secondary literature, it is argued that the contextualization of early migrants to Europe is necessary in order to avoid objectification by historians through the label of 'Muslim'. Examining the specific ways in which both Ireland and India viewed one another, it is argued that the nineteenth century brought about a shift in perception. Both countries increasingly sought to establish movements which questioned the colonial hold of the British Empire. The case study of Mir Aulad Ali highlights the complexity of multiple identities. While he defended Islam from slander, there is little evidence to suggest that he was strict in observance. The case of Mir Aulad also highlights how ideas of independence and nationalism permeated and found room in educated circles in both Ireland and India, while at the same time he paradoxically continued to train British Civil Servants for India.

History Of

The letters which follow are concerned with conditions on, and with the management of, an estate in, county Leitrim in the early years of the nineteenth century. They form part of a body of correspondence now belonging to Dr Patrick Logan of Poole Sanatorium, near Middlesborough, and I am grateful to him for permission to quote from and to use the originals of these letters. My attention was first drawn to the documents by Professor T. W. Moody of Trinity College Dublin, when he received copies of them through Professor Séamus Delargy from the late Mr J. J. Mahon, who lived near Drumshambo, and was keenly interested in the history of county Leitrim. Mr Mahon died towards the end of 1952 and since then I have received much help in tracing the whereabouts of the originals from his son-in-law Mr P. J. Brennan, from Dr Joseph Logan, from Mr M. J. Molloy and from Very Rev. John Canon Pinkman, P.P., V.F.; I wish to record my thanks to all of these.

The Way

A rare copy of a first edition of La Légende des Flamens, now in Trinity College Dublin, reveals a number of facts about its position in that library, probably a mid-nineteenth-century acquisition but acquired in the context of existing similar holdings of medieval and early modern French historical writings. Unlike these writings, however, the text takes an explicitly anti-Flemish and pro-French royalist stance. Criticism levelled at the two most recently deceased popes — or at the English — may explain why the author has decided to remain anonymous, or the text may have been conceived as a compilation of documentary sources without need for an author. This article examines the way that the text deploys sources, including a lost work by Giles of Rome, and draws some conclusions about the situation of the author of the text. Publisher François Regnault is considered as a possible author.

Toward the end of the nineteenth century a number of external music examining systems were introduced to New Zealand. Two of them, Trinity College, London, and the Associated Board, gained a strong following and became de facto standards in the absence of a national music conservatorium. This article briefly outlines the beginning of external exams in England and follows their export to various overseas members of the British Empire. Graded music exams as a form of tuition engendered considerable debate as to efficacy, merit, and overall validity. Trinity College arrived first in New Zealand, in 1888, followed by the Associated Board in 1897, and their rapid assumption in the southern city of Dunedin is documented and used as a case study of their progress up until 1916. There is a background discussion on the growth and use of post-nominal letters in the local music teaching profession, and the increasing use of formal qualifications by music teachers is noted. These included the professional diplomas from both schools, and the role they played in the formation of a local professional body is explored.

Organization violations in practice: a case study in a university setting∗I wish to thank all those people who have given support during the period of this case; that they cannot be named is itself part of the social construction of organizations, national disciplines and violations. This article is a revised version of a paper presented at Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism: “Organization(s), Institutions and Violence” Annual Conference, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, 30th July‐3rd August 2001. An earlier presentation of some of this material was made at the EGOS Conference, Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration, July, 2000, and a subsequent related presentation was made at the European Sociological Association Conference, August‐September 2001 (Hearn, 2001b). This last paper was circulated extensively in Helsinki, and specific requests were made to key actors (including Professors Alapuro, Niemi, Valkonen and Wilhelmsson, and Chancellors Ihamuotila and Raivio) to make corrections to any factual information. None were given. I would like to thank Liisa Husu, Steve Linstead, Robert Westwood and anonymous referees for their helpful comments and suggestions, especially on methodological issues, and Wendy Parkin for long‐term collaboration.
