This book investigates Ireland's translation of interculturalism as
social policy into aesthetic practice and situates the wider
implications of this 'new interculturalism' for theatre and
performance studies at large. Offering the first full-length,
post-1990s study of the effect of large-scale immigration and
interculturalism as social policy on Irish theatre and performance,
McIvor argues that inward-migration changes most of what can be
assumed about Irish theatre and performance and its relationship to
national identity. By using case studies that include theatre,
dance, photography, and activist actions, this book works through
major debates over aesthetic interculturalism in theatre and
performance studies post-1970s and analyses Irish social
interculturalism in a contemporary European social and cultural
policy context. Drawing together the work of professional and
community practitioners who frequently identify as both artists and
activists, Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland
proposes a new paradigm for the study of Irish theatre and
performance while contributing to the wider investigation of
migration and performance.
