IR120.ii** Imagining Modern Ireland: An Introduction to Irish Culture Studies

2 5 2 hour examination

*EN464 Negotiating Identities: Aspects of Twentieth-Century Irish Writing This course provides an introduction to twentieth-century Irish writing and considers how writers in Irish and in English have participated in the negotiation of modern and contemporary Irish identities. Through a close critical reading of key selected texts in Irish and in English, it will investigate the ways in which writers have constructed and deconstructed models of Irish identity from the literary and cultural revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through to the new millennium. The texts chosen for consideration include extracts from the work of James Joyce, Pádraig Ó Conaire, Patrick Kavanagh, Máire Mhac an tSaoi, John McGahern, Edna O’Brien, Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Seamus Heaney, Brian Friel, Eavan Boland, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. ** IR120 Imagining modern Ireland: An introduction to Irish culture studies This course 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. 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’. NB. The following module is available to Visiting Students from Hobart and Smith and Union Colleges only in the first semester and to Visiting Students from Willamette University only in the second semester.
