Whether it is in struggles over political, cultural, or epistemic authority, we consider historical narratives as a key site for the construction and contestation of power. For this reason, we are interested in exploring how canons and archives are constituted, how hegemonic visions of the past are articulated and propagated, and how counter-narratives emerge to challenge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-right is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7eb86478 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-89b4c9e9 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ahi.maynoothuniversity.ie\/contested-histories\/about\/\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n  <div id=\"sa_wordcloud\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 280px;\"><\/div>\n  <script>\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() {\n      function cw_updateWordCloud() {\n        const sawContainer = document.getElementById(\"sa_wordcloud\");\n        if (sawContainer) {\n          const {\n            clientWidth: sawWidth,\n            clientHeight: sawHeight\n          } = sawContainer;\n\n          d3.select(\"#sa_wordcloud svg\").remove();\n          const sawWords = [{\"id\":\"1\",\"word\":\"conflict\",\"weight\":\"3\"},{\"id\":\"2\",\"word\":\"memory\",\"weight\":\"3\"},{\"id\":\"3\",\"word\":\"nation\",\"weight\":\"3\"},{\"id\":\"4\",\"word\":\"violence\",\"weight\":\"2\"},{\"id\":\"5\",\"word\":\"commemoration\",\"weight\":\"2\"},{\"id\":\"6\",\"word\":\"culture\",\"weight\":\"2\"},{\"id\":\"7\",\"word\":\"colonial\",\"weight\":\"1\"},{\"id\":\"8\",\"word\":\"peace\",\"weight\":\"1\"},{\"id\":\"9\",\"word\":\"imperial\",\"weight\":\"1\"}].map(w => ({\n            text: w.word,\n            size: w.weight * 17\n          }));\n          const sawWordColor = d3.scaleOrdinal(d3.schemeCategory10);\n          const sawLayout = d3.layout.cloud()\n            .size([sawWidth, sawHeight])\n            .words(sawWords)\n            .padding(5)\n            .rotate(() => ~~(Math.random() * 2) * 90)\n            .fontSize(d => d.size)\n            .on(\"end\", cw_draw);\n          sawLayout.start();\n\n          function cw_draw(sawWords) {\n            d3.select(\"#sa_wordcloud\").append(\"svg\")\n              .attr(\"width\", sawWidth)\n              .attr(\"height\", sawHeight)\n              .append(\"g\")\n              .attr(\"transform\", `translate(${sawWidth \/ 2},${sawHeight \/ 2})`)\n              .selectAll(\"text\")\n              .data(sawWords)\n              .enter().append(\"text\")\n              .style(\"font-size\", d => d.size + \"px\")\n              .style(\"fill\", d => sawWordColor(d.text))\n              .attr(\"text-anchor\", \"middle\")\n              .attr(\"transform\", d => `translate(${d.x}, ${d.y}) rotate(${d.rotate})`)\n              .text(d => d.text);\n          }\n        }\n      }\n\n      window.addEventListener(\"resize\", cw_updateWordCloud);\n      cw_updateWordCloud();\n    });\n  <\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group full-width-row home-projects is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group full-width-row-inner is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"ccgo-root\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contested Histories Bringing together scholars from across a wide range of disciplines, the Contested Histories group is committed to fostering new and innovative research on the construction and mobilisation of competing narratives of the past.
