Zombies and Dante's InfernoDr. Kim Paffenroth, Iona College, will speak on "Zombies and Dante's Inferno." This presentation considers how contemporary zombie literature and films offer us insights into Dante's Inferno, by giving us a secularized,almost "demythologized" version of his ideas of sin and damnation. We'll look at the nature of sin, the relative weight of the various sins, and consider how modern versions of Dante's story can adapt his vision. |

"The Irish Language in Eastern Canada, 1700-1900 OR is fánach an áit a bhfaighe tú gliomach"The public is invited to attend a lecture by Dr. Ken Nilsen of the Department of Celtic Studies at StFX University. The lecture will take place on Friday, March 19, 2010 in Nicholson Hall 16, 2nd floor at 3 pm. The paper will look at the evidence that exists for the presence of the Irish language in Eastern Canada. Although undoubtedly thousands of native Irish speakers immigrated to Canada in the period 1700-1900 they have left very few traces of their language. The paper will conclude with a brief discussion of why the Irish situation was so different from that of Scottish Gaelic. |
