Imagining Modern Ireland: An introduction to Modern Irish Culture Studies
Course Number:
IS1106
Course Description:
This module provides an integrated interdisciplinary introduction to the ways in which Irish writers, musicians, and film-makers have participated in the formation of Irish identities from the cultural revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century to the present. It considers the extent to which writers and film-makers, in Irish and in English, and those involved in the revival of Irish music and dance have been actively involved in imagining and re-imagining Ireland and Irishness during the modern period. Issues to be addressed will include Ireland’s transition from a traditional to a modern society, language, gender, and the connections between cultural production and the imagined 'nation'.
