Poetics and Polemics

Poetics and Polemics

Michelle O Riordan

Cork University Press
2021
sidottu
Poetics and Polemics is about the polemical presentation of Irish history in five ballad-style poems in Irish in the period c. 1630-1660. The five poems in question have achieved an iconic status as the ''voice'' of the Gaelic Irish in the turbulent mid-century. The book interrogates each element of the poems in the contemporary context, using literary, devotional, official documentation, and polemical sources in Irish, English, Latin and French, where relevant. Poetics and Polemics presents readings of the poems as literary works, and also as works of contemporary polemic engagement, participating in the vital, vigorous, and multilingual debates of the day. It examines the religious and political loyalties expressed in the poems; it queries the single voice allotted to them. The close readings reveal works that share genre and style essentials, but express, within those constraints, all the nuances, varieties of allegiance, and fractured and tortuous loyalties, that characterized that febrile and convulsed century. Poetics and Polemics completes Professor O Riordan's suite of three works, examining Irish poetry within its genre and historical contexts - The Gaelic Mind and the Collapse of the Gaelic World (Cork University Press, 1994) and Irish Bardic Poetry and Rhetorical Reality (Cork University Press, 2007) being the other two. Poetics and Polemics re-establishes the multivalent voices subsisting in the mid-century poems, and returns agency and art to their shadowy authors.

Irish Bardic Poetry and Rhetorical Reality

Irish Bardic Poetry and Rhetorical Reality

Michelle O'Riordan

CORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
2007
sidottu
This study explores the rhetorical devices used by Irish bardic poets to create poetry of literary worth and abiding interest. A number of poems selected for this study are read with emphasis on the rhetorical characteristics they shared with work of similar status in other parts of Europe in the High Middle Ages.Irish bardic poetry is an expression of medieval European high literary cultures. Its themes, tropes and treatments are, along with being an expression of indigenous Irish literary culture, reflexes of the shared classical culture of the Europe of the High Middle Ages. This work explores the rhetorical reality in the works of poets from the thirteenth (Adamh O Fialan) to the seventeenth centuries (Eochaidh O hEoghusa). Emphasis is placed on the literary world of the poetry, building on the metrical, linguistic, textual studies and editions published by scholars over the last century. The readings presented here reveal the world of Irish bardic poetry as a fully chromatic, vibrant, humorous, scholarly and literary enterprise. Poets participated creatively and consciously in contemporary literary movements, filtering and selecting to suit the sensibilities of the vital indigenous literary culture. The readings offered in this study re-establish the international flavor of Irish bardic profane poetry and, in doing so, return the poet and the poetry to a world in which the literary works have merit in their own right. In this study, bardic poetry is not explored for its immediate historical references to events or to people. The result of this is to cast a bright light both on the literary nature of the poetry and on the vigorous and engaged literary culture in Ireland, abandoning, for once, the necessity to refer everything to the duality of conquered and conqueror.

Snowglobe Mandalas

Snowglobe Mandalas

Michelle O'Hara

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
pokkari
Inside Snowglobe Mandalas: Adult Coloring Book is 25 snowglobes, each filled with a beautiful, highly detailed mandala for you to color. Therapists have recommended coloring for over a decade to help patients relieve stress, focus, manage behavior, reduce anxiety and relax body and mind. Yoga instructors are now suggesting coloring as an alternative to meditation. While both allow us to switch off our minds from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, most people find a greater level of tranquility through coloring and are more comfortable coloring when out in public, such as in a waiting room, on a plane, in a coffee shop, at the park or any other place you have a few minutes to relax and clear your mind.Colored pencils are recommended as they allow you to blend colors, shade, and add highlights or lowlights to your masterpiece. However, feel free to use which ever coloring medium you enjoy most. Each Snowglobe Mandala is black on the opposite side to prevent bleed through onto another pattern. There are also several blank pages in the back of the book for you to tear out and put underneath the pattern you are coloring for added protection. As well as color test pages to test color palettes and coloring tools.Since each pattern is blank on the reverse side, you can display your artwork in a standard 8x10 frame Visit www.coloring2relax.com/freebies to receive 5 free coloring pages, to enter our coloring contests, and to win free adult coloring books.Join our Facebook Group, Coloring2Relax, for coloring tips and to show off your completed artwork.Look for more of our adult coloring books and journals on Amazon Buy and Color 2 Relax

Communicating With Families

Communicating With Families

Michelle O'Reilly; Nikki Kiyimba

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
nidottu
This textbook uniquely highlights the particular complexities of working systemically with couples and families with children. It is designed to be student and practitioner oriented by drawing on real world examples of therapeutic encounters in mental health settings to illustrate how theory can inform practice. Good communication is the cornerstone of good clinical practice and is foundational for building therapeutic alliance. Although therapists and counsellors are often highly skilled in their therapeutic modalities, this book offers additional practical suggestions about how families engage in social actions and positioning themselves and others in their talk. The book also takes wider micro and macro ecological systems within which systemic psychotherapists and counsellors work into account and consider the ways that these larger social influences are experienced within institutional discourses. The book will be a valuable resource across a broad spectrum of professions and researchers, including counsellors, psychotherapists, family therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, play therapists, speech and language therapists, and mental health social workers.

Examining Mental Health through Social Constructionism

Michelle O'Reilly; Jessica Nina Lester

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book explores social constructionism and the language of mental distress. Mental health research has traditionally been dominated by genetic and biomedical explanations that provide only partial explanations. However, process research that utilises qualitative methods has grown in popularity. Situated within this new strand of research, the authors examine and critically assess some of the different contributions that social constructionism has made to the study of mental distress and to how those diagnosed are conceptualized and labeled. This will be an invaluable introduction and source of practical strategies for academics, researchers and students as well as clinical practitioners, mental health professionals, and others working with mental health such as educationalists and social workers.

How the Earth Works

How the Earth Works

Michelle O'Brien-Palmer

A Cappella Books
2002
pokkari
Earth science comes alive for children 6 to 9 through 60 engrossing games, activities, and experiments. Kids “core sample” a filled cupcake and discover plate tectonics by floating graham cracker continents on a molten mantle of molasses. They learn how heat changes rocks by seeing how separate ingredients disappear when they bake Rice Krispie Treats. More activities show what causes earthquakes and what kinds of buildings resist their force. Growing sugar and salt crystals, “fossilizing” plastic insects, and modeling a variety of volcanoes add to the learning and the fun. Eight of the activities are tasty as well as informative. Silly songs help children remember new words and concepts, and a resource section gives inexpensive sources for rocks, minerals, and fossils. All the projects have been tested in homes and schools to make sure they are safe, effective, and fun.

This Is My Body

This Is My Body

Christina Beardsley; Michelle O'Brien

Darton,Longman Todd Ltd
2016
nidottu
Much has been said and written about trans people by theologians and Church leaders, while little has been heard from trans Christians themselves. As a step towards redressing the balance, This Is My Body offers a grounded reflection on people’s experience of gender dissonance that involves negotiating the boundaries between one’s identity and religious faith, as well as a review of the most up-to-date theological, cultural and scientific literature. The book includes contributions from many people associated with the Sibyls, the UK-based confidential spirituality group for transgender people and their allies. People’s stories span many decades and most recount how they have come to reconcile their gender variance with their Christian convictions. These honest narratives follow a series of informative chapters, including ‘Gender Incongruence in the changing social and medical environment’ by Terry Reed.

The Social, Cultural, and Political Discourses of Autism

The Social, Cultural, and Political Discourses of Autism

Jessica Nina Lester; Michelle O'Reilly

Springer
2021
sidottu
Taking up a social constructionist position, this book illustrates the social and cultural construction of autism as made visible in everyday, educational, institutional and historical discourses, alongside a careful consideration of the bodily and material realities of embodied differences. The authors highlight the economic consequences of a disabling culture, and explore how autism fits within broader arguments related to normality, abnormality and stigma. To do this, they provide a theoretically and historically grounded discussion of autism—one designed to layer and complicate the discussions that surround autism and disability in schools, health clinics, and society writ large. In addition, they locate this discussion across two contexts – the US and the UK – and draw upon empirical examples to illustrate the key points. Located at the intersection of critical disability studies and discourse studies, the book offers a critical reframing of autism and childhood mental health disorders more generally.
