There are still one or two spaces available in the "Media and Culture in Ireland" Program. The Communication Department and the English Department at Northern Illinois University are again this year conducting the four week summer program at Dublin City University from June 22 to July 18. In its sixth year, the program focuses on Ireland's struggle to define its own cultural identity (pre-modern, post-modern, post-colonial) in a world of American and British media domination. Students learn about Irish social and economic history and literary traditions as a backdrop to understanding Ireland's development of a modern, indigenous media industry--with intensive screenings of historical and contemporary Irish films both at the university and at the Irish Film Centre. Irish media artists like Jim Sheridan, media critics like Michael Dwyer, and academic scholars like Luke Gibbons present guest lectures in addition to lectures by NIU faculty Jeff Chown and Robert Self. More information is availabe at the program's web site: http://www.niu.edu/acad/english/irish_media.html Anyone interested should contact Bob Self ([log in to unmask] 0r 815-895-3238) right away. ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama.
