Affecting Irishness : Negotiating Cultural Identity Within and Beyond the Nation, Paperback / softback Book

Affecting Irishness : Negotiating Cultural Identity Within and Beyond the Nation Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael O'Sullivan, James P. Byrne, Padraig Kirwan

Part of the Reimagining Ireland series

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection of new essays addresses a key debate in Irish studies.

While it is important that new research endeavours to accommodate the new and powerful manifestations of Irishness that are evident today in our globalised economy, these considerations are often overlooked.

The writers in this book seek to reconcile the established critical perspectives of Irish studies with a forward-looking critical momentum that incorporates the realities of globalisation and economic migration. The book initiates this vital discussion by bringing together a series of provocative and thoughtful essays, from both renowned and rising international scholars, on the vicissitudes of cultural identity in a post-modern, post-colonial and post-national Ireland.

By including work by leading scholars in the fields of film studies, migration and Diaspora studies, travel literature and gender studies, this collection offers a thorough twenty-first-century interrogation of Irishness and provides a timely fusion of international perspectives on Irish cultural identity.
