CALL FOR PAPERS
Representations of Irish Identity in Modern Irish Poetry
This panel is intended to explore the ways in which Irish Identity is
interpreted, codified, embraced and rejected in poetry by Modern Irish poets.
For eight hundred years Ireland has constantly been a contested site for
political and economic identity, yet Irish literature, music, and art very
often displays a fierce commitment to a social or individual identity
primarily defined by its "Irishness." In a country forced to make so many
changes, how has this conceptualization of what it means to be Irish remained
constant? Then again. . . has it?
Papers may interpret the panel topic somewhat broadly, but those which
consider how Irish identity has specifically changed in the 20th century
and/or look ahead to changes that may accompany the new millennium are
especially welcome.
Deadline for submission of paper or 300 word abstract: July 15, 1999
email submissions (of abstracts only, please) are welcome
