We Irish? - Formations, Forms, and Transformations: Irish Identities
N.Y.U., Ireland House, March 6-7, 1999
This conference aims to begin a multidisciplinary discussion of Irish
identities based on the notion that a uniform conception of Irishness is
questionable. Examining cultural identities expands the consideration of
the various forms of Irish identities. The transformation of these
identites is an indication of changing social structures. In going beyond
the idea that there is an origin, whether physical, political, social, or
textual, from which Irish identities emanate, this conference will examine
how different practices are organized into diverse identities. Speakers
and panelists will explore the processes and practices involved in
constructing and analysing cultural identities.
We invite scholars from all disciplines working on issues of identity in
Ireland to join us in a set of workshops and panel discussions on the
following topics.
Migration Sexual Identities
Travelers The Gaeltacht
Translation Religious Identities
The European Union Autobiography and Biography
Colonial Formations: Ireland and Great Britain
Whiteness in Ireland: Racial Identities
We welcome 15-20 minute papers, in Irish or English, which treat any of
the above topics. Papers might address a set of empirical, collected, or
created data/texts as an occasion for thinking through questions of
identities in Ireland.
