Divided Loyalties?: Identity and Ambivalence in the
Celtic Periphery
This session asks participants to investigate the
extent to which post-colonial theories about
“ambivalence” or the pervasive rubric of “internal
colonialism” help or hinder our understanding of the
philosophical, historical and literary writings of
Welsh, Scottish and Irish people during the long
eighteenth century. How did key figures negotiate
and reconcile the multiplicity of their national and
regional identifications? Did various groups consider
themselves to be victims and/or purveyors of cultural
and political imperialism? The panel seeks both
investigations of individual authors as well as more
general papers on the theoretical pitfalls or
advantages of using post-colonial theory to interpret
the politics of the British Isles.
