Transnational Revolutionaries: The Fenian Invasion of Canada, 1866
ISBN: 9783034319225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The organization of several thousand Irish American men into a military outfit, which then attempted to invade Canada from within the United States, is a significant historical event that remains largely unexplored from an Irish and Irish American perspective. This study offers a fuller exploration of the details behind the Fenian invasion, asking why Irish immigrants were motivated to shape American international policy and examining the ways in which the Fenians defined identity as a transnational phenomenon. By taking a fresh look at the Irish foray, the author reveals new aspects to Irish...

Culture War: Conflict, Commemoration and the Contemporary Abbey Theatre
ISBN: 9783034301374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Irish National Theatre Society began its centenary in 2004 with ambitious theatrical events at home and abroad. By the end of the year, however, the company was close to financial ruin, culminating in its dissolution and subsequent reestablishment. The financial crisis was only one element of controversy during the centenary year. During this period, the remit of the Abbey Theatre as a house for the performance of Irish identity and new Irish writing was brought into question. While debates unfolded over the artistic and financial crises, many commentators queried the very nature of, or...

Southern Ireland and the Liberation of France: New Perspectives
ISBN: 9783034301909 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This collection of essays sets out to correct an injustice to citizens of the Irish Free State, or Twenty-Six Counties, whose contribution to the victory against Nazi Germany in the Second World War has thus far been obscured. The historical facts reveal a divided island of Ireland, in which the volunteers from the South were obliged to fight in a foreign (that is, British) army, navy and air force. Recent research has now placed this contribution on a secure basis of historical and statistical fact for the first time, showing that the total number of Irish dead (more than nine thousand) was...

New Vocabularies, Old Ideas: Culture, Irishness and the Advertising Industry
ISBN: 9783039119783 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Advertisements are often viewed as indices of cultural change, just as the advertising industry is often imagined as innovative and transformative. Advancing from an alternative position, which borrows much from practice-based research, this book instead highlights the routinisation of practices and representations in advertising. Drawing extensively from his own study, the author uses Irishness to investigate the relationship between cultural symbolism in advertising and the cultural vocabularies of advertising practitioners. While globalisation and immigration to Ireland have putatively...

Stereotypes, Ideology and Foreign Correspondents: German Media Representations of Ireland, 1946-2010
ISBN: 9783034322225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book examines German media representations of Ireland from 1946 to 2010, from the post-war period to the years of the so-called Celtic Tiger and Ireland's subsequent economic downturn. It charts both the patterns and the inconsistencies in depictions of Ireland in the weekly publications Der Spiegel and Die Zeit, as well as in German cinema. Cultural stereotypes may be employed in the furthering of a problematic cultural essentialism; however, they may also be used to play with readers' or viewers' expectations. They may be juxtaposed with newer cultural... This book examines German media representations of Ireland from 1946 to 2010, from the post-war period to the years of the so-called Celtic Tiger a... |

From Stage to Page: Critical Reception of Irish Plays in the London Theatre, 1925-1996
ISBN: 9783034302661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 299 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In December 1921 the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed, which led to the creation of the Irish Free State and the partition of Ireland the following year. The consequences of that attempt to reconcile the conflicting demands of republicans and unionists alike have dictated the course of Anglo-Irish relations ever since. This book explores how the reception of Irish plays staged in theatres in London s West End serves as a barometer not only of the state of relations between Great Britain and Ireland, but also of the health of the British and Irish theatres respectively.
For each of the eight... In December 1921 the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed, which led to the creation of the Irish Free State and the partition of Ireland the following year....

The Gun and Irish Politics: Examining National History in Neil Jordan's 'Michael Collins'
ISBN: 9783039118885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In the 1990s, Irish society was changing and becoming increasingly international due to the rise of the Celtic Tiger . At the same time, the ongoing peace process in Northern Ireland also fuelled debates on the definition of Irishness, which in turn seemed to call for a critical examination of the birth of the Irish State, as well as a rethinking and re-assessment of the nationalist past. Neil Jordan s Michael Collins (1996), the most commercially successful and talked-about Irish film of the 1990s, was a timely contributor to this process. In providing a large-scale representation of...

'Hear My Song': Irish Theatre and Popular Song in the 1950s and 1960s
ISBN: 9783034319157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Arguing that certain song types constitute forms of collective memory, this book explores Irish theatre from the 1950s and 1960s to show that songs provide valuable insights into changes in the popular consciousness. As well as illuminating the performances and reception of the plays, it also challenges orthodox narratives of de Valera's Ireland.

The Female and the Species: The Animal in Irish Women's Writing
ISBN: 9783039119592 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Describing the Irish as female and bestial is a practice dating back to the twelfth century, while for women, inside and outside of Ireland, their association with children, animals and other savages has had a long history. A link among systems of oppression has been asserted in recent decades by some feminists, but linking women s rights with animal advocacy can be controversial. This strategy responds to the fact that women s inferiority has been alleged and justified by appropriating them to nature, an appropriation that colonialism has also practiced on its racial and cultural others....

No Country for Old Men: Fresh Perspectives on Irish Literature
ISBN: 9783039118410 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Once a country of emigration and diaspora, in the 1990s Ireland began to attract immigration from other parts of the world: a new citizenry. By the first decade of the twenty-first century, the ratio between GDP and population placed Ireland among the wealthiest nations in the world. The Peace Agreements of the mid-1990s and the advent of power-sharing in Northern Ireland have enabled Ireland s story to change still further. No longer locked into troubles from the past, the Celtic Tiger can now leap in new directions.
These shifts in culture have given Irish literature the opportunity to... Once a country of emigration and diaspora, in the 1990s Ireland began to attract immigration from other parts of the world: a new citizenry. By the fi...
