Limerick An Invitation to the Emerald Isle Ireland the "Emerald Isle" is both a geographically and culturally inspiring land. It's lush, green, and craggy mountains, rolling hills, and seaside cliffs command one's attention; but its legends, folklore, music, art and literature will captivate one's emotions. It is an island with as rich a history and as diverse a culture as writers, painters and musicians can depict. Ireland is a nation with a complicated history affected by tensions that continue to influence the present; however, today's Ireland is a series of treasures awaiting your discovery! Ireland is not mired in the past but is energetically growing, thriving and improving in harmony with its own history. Today's Ireland is an intriguing mix of art, literature, music, sports, politics, religion, technology and more. As a student in Ireland today, you will be on the cusp of radical modernization and energy without failing to grasp the strength of the historical culture that is endemic to the island nation. As evidence of Ireland's allure, Economist magazine recently named Ireland as the best place to live in the world.

Extractions: Sacred Texts Legends and Sagas English Folklore Index ... Next Introductory Notes Notes and References for ENGLISH FAIRY TALES THE Fairy Tales of England have been treated in rather a step-motherly fashion. That they once existed in tolerable numbers there are still traces in the library list of Captain Cox, published by the New Shakespeare Society, among others, and in odd references in literature and in chap-books. But in the middle of last century the genius of Charles Perrault captivated English and Scotch children with as much force as or, probably, with even more force than he had entranced French ones. Cinderella and Puss in Boots and their companions ousted Childe Rowland and Mr Fox and Catskin. The superior elegance and clearness of the French tales replaced the rude vigour of the English ones. What Perrault began, the Grimms completed. Tom Tit Tot gave way to Rumpelstiltschen, the three Sillies to Hansel and Grethel, and the English Fairy Tale became a of Perrault and the Grimms. This would not have been so serious if English provincial life had been as conservative and tenacious as the provincial life of France, Italy, or Germany. But railways and the telegraph have disintegrated our provincial life much more than continental. And for various reasons the English peasant has never had so vivid a social life as the Bauer or Jacques Bonhomme. Consequently there is less hope of recovering the lost fairy tales of England to such a degree as has been accomplished with such brilliant success in almost every European country during the past thirty years, or still more conspicuously among the Gaels of Scotland by the late J. F. Campbell.

Political correctness has such a grip on Canadian society that discussion of racial origins of the European settlers of that enormous land is confined to private quietly whispered conversation. It has been said that the British are a bastard race, that has neither the right nor the distinct racial heritage needed to proclaim itself the land of a distinct people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Why is it important to establish the argument for a distinct people in the case of Britain and her history? It is important because without a working knowledge of one's cultural and racial origins one is ever at risk of being demoralized when one is told that one's people have no solidifying historical, cultural or racial core. One cannot imagine that, as those Caucasian tribes strove to settle and claim Europe and Britain , anything less than sporadic warfare and land disputes could have taken place. Such were the birth pains of any new nations in the ancient days when the untilled lands, the silent age old wilderness, first felt the foot of the Caucasian tribes.

The oldest Irish literature consists of stories and poems about ancient kings and heroes, which were transmitted orally in Irish.

Extractions: Based on Julian Scaff's new edition of Benjamin's text. "In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain. Mechanical reproduction of a work of art, however, represents something new." Benjamin explains what's new. Bobbie, Gloria (Plattsburgh, USA) Capitalism isn't just an economic or political system, it pervades every aspect of the culture in countries which have adopted it as a way of making a living. "Capitalism affects every aspect of our lives, from the way our children are born to the way our dead are laid to rest. It affects how we think, what we wear, what we eat, where we live, what we buy and how we buy it. There is no part of our lives which is not in some way affected by capitalism." This site is dedicated to the study of this phenomenon. You'll find courses, resources and a potpourri section on themes like cooking, travel and shopping. The site is home to "Anthropological Perspectives on Global Issues", a Global Issues webcourse, taught through SUNY Plattsburgh, which deals with issues prevalent within the culture of capitalism. It is designed as a learning center which supports the course and research into the culture of capitalism.
