Re Imagining Ireland Irish Culture In Transition

This landmark collection marks the publication of the 100th book in the Reimagining Ireland series. It attempts to provide a «forward look» (as opposed to what Frank O'Connor once referred to as the « backward look») at what Irish Studies might look like in the third millennium. With a Foreword by Declan Kiberd, it also contains essays by several other leading Irish Studies experts on (among other areas) literature and critical theory, sport, the Irish language, food and beverage studies, cinema, women's writing, Brexit, religion, Northern Ireland, the legacy of the Great Famine, Ireland in the French imagination, archival research, musicology, and Irish Studies in North America. The book is a tribute to Irish Studies' foundational commitment to revealing and renewing Irishness within and beyond the national space.

Accompanying DVD is a videorecording of the television program produced by Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Paul Wagner Productions in association with Radio Telefís Éireann, and originally broadcast in 2004.

This collection of essays examines the theme of liminality in Irish literature and culture against the philosophical discourse of modernity and focuses on representations of liminality in contemporary Irish literature, art and film in a variety of contexts.

This volume presents the latest research from Irish studies scholars across a range of disciplines, including history, literature, theatre, photography and folklore, and generates new insights into the dynamics of cultural remembrance in Irish society. It offers an overview of the recent cross-fertilization between memory studies and Irish studies.

The writers in this text 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 Reimagining Ireland series will soon have one hundred volumes in print; this book brings together a selection of essays from the first fifty volumes, chosen to give a flavour of the diversity of the series. It showcases the work of a talented array of established and emerging scholars currently working in Irish Studies.
