Title	Controle Manual
Description	Controle Manual, a play with acid and provocative humor that questions what it means to be human, portrays a young couple, Mark and Violet, at a time when the excessive use of technology to correct imperfections, or simply to improve physical abilities, had become possible and normal. However, the couple tries to resist this phenomenon and the society that approves and facilitates it. While Mark and Violet await the birth of their first child, unexpected and compromising revelations emerge, which threaten their world, their bodies and their perfect relationship. This project is part of a larger scope of research and extension to promote Irish theatrical and poetic culture by the Center for Irish Studies and also of a research project on contemporary Irish theater written by women (2015-2021) coordinated by Prof. Dr. Alinne Balduino Pires Fernandes.

CALL FOR PAPERS

VIII FORUM OF NÚCLEO DE ESTUDOS IRLANDESES AT UFSC: SPACES, PLACES AND PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIES OF IRELAND

Guest speakers: Dr Paul Delaney (Trinity College Dublin); Dr Deirdre Flynn (Mary Immaculate College); Northern-Irish writer Lucy Caldwell.

Spaces change over time. They may change due to climatic disasters, war, gentrification, or economic crises or booms, to name but a few reasons. Spaces also become places once they are embedded with affect and cultural signification, to paraphrase from Denise Lawrence-Zuniga (2017). In the specific case of Irish Studies, Gerry Smyth (2001) has stated that the interest in “the Irish local place” persists. The study of spaces has its
origins in geography, but is here extended and applied to the study of the arts and literature.

In the 8th edition of UFSC’s Irish Studies Forum, we invite contributors to submit proposals on how certain spaces in both Ireland and Northern Ireland have changed over time. How have they been shaped so that they become places of affect, memory, or trauma? How are they represented in Irish literature, drama, and cinema?

Proposals for papers that address the theme of the event – Spaces, Places and Psychogeographies of Ireland – including comparative, translation, or intersectional studies, of 15-20 minutes, should include:

Author’s name
Title of paper
Abstract (150-200 words) and
Author’s bio (100-150 words),

in Times New Roman 12, preferably in English, although Portuguese is also accepted.

Please submit your proposals to ufsc.nei@gmail.com by August 9th, 2024.

The event will be held in person, with no registration fee. Proposals covering othertopics within Irish Studies will also be considered, based on availability of slots, at thediscretion of the organising committee.

Cultura em Ação | Meu nome, posso te falar o meu nome? – Uma produção radiofônica

Title	Cultura em Ação \| Meu nome, posso te falar o meu nome? – Uma produção radiofônica
Description	Cultura em Ação: Apresentação de ações culturais e artísticas apoiadas pela SeCArtE – UFSC. Este projeto contempla a tradução e montagem da peça teatral My Name, Shall I Tell You My Name?, (1989), de Christina Reid (1942-2015), no formato de drama radiofônico, incluindo um processo de pesquisa sobre drama radiofônico no país e no mundo, com foco para as produções em língua inglesa. Para a execução deste projeto, a equipe vinculada realizará, sob a coordenação da Profa. Dra. Alinne Balduino Pires Fernandes, atividades de: pesquisa, estudo, ensaio, produção, gravação, edição e divulgação, com posteriores exibições para a comunidade acadêmica e o público em geral, além de construir um acervo com as informações e documentos encontrados durante o processo. A peça de dois atores, permeada por analepses e solilóquios, trata da solidão de um velho avô, Andy, ex-combatente da I Guerra Mundial em nome da coroa britânica, e da jovem Andrea, que deixa seu avô em Derry, em busca de uma vida mais promissora em Londres. A peça, que expõe preconceitos políticos e raciais no Reino Unido do fim dos anos 1980, pode ser um instrumento para reflexão crítica de questões contemporâneas brasileiras. Este projeto faz parte de um escopo maior de pesquisa e extensão para divulgação da cultura teatral e poética irlandesa do Núcleo de Estudos Irlandeses e também do um projeto de pesquisa em teatro irlandês contemporâneo escrito por mulheres, em andamento no Departamento de Língua e Literatura Estrangeiras (DLLE), sob coordenação da Profa. Dra. Alinne Balduino Pires Fernandes. Espera-se com este projeto publicizar não apenas esse espetáculo, mas desenvolver um gênero já pouco trabalhado no país, o drama radiofônico.

Title	Interview with Marina Carr
Description	Marina Carr (1964- ) is a playwright from Dublin. Carr holds a BA in English and Philosophy from the University College Dublin, alongside an honorary Doctorate of Literature from the same institution. Carr’s debut play, Ullaloo, was published in 1989, and since then, she has acquired an incredibly prolific career. Some of her most notable works include Portia Coughlan (1996), By the Bogs of Cats (1998), Woman and Scarecrow (2004), and Hecuba (2015). As of 2024, her most recent play is Audrey or Sorrow (2024). Carr has won various prizes for her body of work, including the Irish Times Playwright Award (1998), the Macaulay Fellowship, the Hennessy Award, and the Windham-Campbell Literature Award (2017). In addition to her writing career, Carr has also taught at universities, such as University College Dublin. In this interview, Carr discusses contemporary theatre and the process of playwriting, sharing insights on the creation of a character, while describing anecdotes of her life. Aside from the aforementioned, considering her then-released adaptation of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (2016), Carr sheds light on the practice of adapting a novel, the production aspect of a play, and language, most specifically about how Hiberno-English shapes her art. Furthermore, Carr converses about writing and politics, questioning the meaning of writing and writers in a larger socio-political context alongside the importance given to the author over the art and the culture of the man-messiah. The interview was conducted by Alinne Fernandes, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in the English Department, at the Henrique Fontes Auditorium-UFSC in Florianópolis, Brazil as part of the II Jornada do Núcleo de Estudos Irlandeses, “Protean Spaces in Irish Literature, Theatre and Film”, on November 7th, 2017.

Title	Interview with Stacey Gregg
Description	Stacey Gregg (1983- ) is a writer and director from Belfast. Gregg has a BA in English from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Documentary Film-Making from Royal Holloway. Having written numerous plays for theatre, her first full-length play, Perve, was performed by Abbey Theatre in May 2011, and proceeded to win the BBC Radio Drama award at the 2012 Stewart Parker Trust Awards, Gregg’s other plays include Override (2013), Shibboleth (2015) and Scorch (2015). In 2021, Gregg directed and wrote her first feature film, Here Before, which won Best Film at Galway Film Fleadh. Aside from theatre and cinema, Gregg also wrote for television, including The Innocents (2018) and The Frankenstein Chronicles (2015-2018). As of 2023-2024, Stacey Gregg is a Seamus Heany Fellow. In this interview, Gregg talks about theatre: the reception and circulation of her plays in Ireland and Northern Ireland; the forerunners of female playwrights and how she fits in these conversations; and the differences and similarities of writing for other mediums, such as cinema. Aside from the aforementioned, Gregg also discusses the sociopolitical landscape of Northern Ireland and the Troubles: how the event and its consequences and her identity as a Northern Irish influences her works. Furthermore, in dialogue with the theme of the V Jornada do Núcleo de Estudos Irlandeses, Gregg theorises about science-fiction and technology, inquiring about boundaries and wanting to transgress its limits. The interview was conducted by Alinne Fernandes, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in the English Department, online as part of the V Jornada do Núcleo de Estudos Irlandeses – Intersections Of Irish Literature, Theatre And Technology, on November 12th, 2021.
