Ballynahatty
Just six miles from the center of Belfast, County Down, on the plateau of Ballynahatty above the River Lagan, is one of Ireland’s great Neolithic henge monuments: the 200 m wide Giant’s Ring. For over a thousand years, this area was the focus of intense funerary ritual seemingly designed to send the dead to their ancestors and secure the land for the living. Scattered through the fields to the north and west of the Ring are flat cemeteries, standing stones, tombs, cists, and ring barrows – ancient monuments that were leveled by the plough when the land was enclosed in the 18th and 19th centuries. A great 90 m long timber enclosure with an elaborate entrance and inner ‘temple’ was f...
Monumentalising Life in the Neolithic
One of the principal characteristics of the European Neolithic is the development of monumentality in association with innovations in material culture and changes in subsistence from hunting and gathering to farming and pastoralism. The papers in this volume discuss the latest insights into why monumental architecture became an integral part of early farming societies in Europe and beyond. One of the topics is how we define monuments and how our arguments and recent research on temporality impacts on our interpretation of the Neolithic period. Different interpretations of Göbekli Tepe are examples of this discussion as well as our understanding of special landmarks such as flint mines. The ...

De dader, die algauw door de media wordt omgedoopt tot 'de Priester', is echter ongrijpbaarder dan elke misdadiger waar Mulcahy ooit mee te maken heeft gehad.

Kruisiging
Brand een kaars. Zeg je gebeden op. De Priester komt eraan...Dublin wordt geplaagd door gruwelijke aanvallen op jonge meisjes. Voor elke aanval slaat de dader een kruisje en daarna laat hij zijn slachtoffer over aan de genade van God, wat hem de bijnaam `de Priester oplevert. Als de dochter van een diplomaat wordt aangevallen en voor dood wordt achtergelaten, gebrandmerkt met een roodgloeiende crucifix, wordt rechercheur Mike Mulcahy op de zaak gezet.Mulcahy is een doorgewinterde politieman, maar deze gruwelijke daad gaat zelfs zijn ergste verbeelding te boven en de Priester is gevaarlijker en ongrijpbaarder dan elke misdadiger waar hij ooit mee te maken heeft gehad: een engel des doods met een ziel die zwarter is dan de hel. Terwijl de media op hol slaan en de stad wordt overspoeld door paniek, moet Mulcahy de Priester tegenhouden voor hij zijn duivelse missie kan voltooien

The Golden Thread
This two-volume edited collection illuminates the valuable counter-canon of Irish women's playwriting with forty-two essays written by leading and emerging Irish theatre scholars and practitioners. Covering three hundred years of Irish theatre history from 1716 to 2016, it is the most comprehensive study of plays written by Irish women to date. These short essays provide both a valuable introduction and innovative analysis of key playtexts, bringing renewed attention to scripts and writers that continue to be under-represented in theatre criticism and performance. Volume One covers plays by Irish women playwrights written between 1716 to 1992, and seeks to address and redress the historic absence of Irish female playwrights in theatre histories. Highlighting the work of nine women playwrights from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as thirteen of the twentieth century's key writers, the chapters in this volume explore such varied themes as the impact of space and place on identity, women's strategic use of genre, and theatrical responses to shifts in Irish politics and culture.
Being and God in Aristotle and Heidegger
This enlightening study examines the relationship between being and God in Aristotle and Heidegger. Focusing on the methodology of each thinker, Catriona Hanley contrasts their beliefs on the infinite or finite nature of being, and on GodOs role therein. The author also offers some indication of how modern thinkers might rethink the relation of the finite to the infinite, based on the work of these two philosophers. Being and God in Aristotle and Heidegger is a valuable book for philosophers of religion.
