This book charts the journey, in terms of both stasis and change,
that masculinities and manhood have made in Irish drama, and by
extension in the broader culture and society, from the 1960s to the
present. Examining a diverse corpus of drama and theatre events,
both mainstream and on the fringe, this study critically elaborates
a seismic shift in Irish masculinities. This book argues, then,
that Irish manhood has shifted from embodying and enacting
post-colonial concerns of nationalism and national identity, to
performing models of masculinity that are driven and moulded by the
political and cultural practices of neoliberal capitalism.
Masculinities and Manhood in Contemporary Irish Drama charts this
shift through chapters on performing masculinity in plays set in
both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, and through several
chapters that focus on Women's and Queer drama. It thus takes its
readers on a journey: a journey that begins with an overtly
patriarchal, nationalist manhood that often made direct comment on
the state of the nation, and ultimately arrives at several arguably
regressive forms of globalised masculinity, which are couched in
misaligned notions of individualism and free-choice and that
frequently perceive themselves as being in crisis.
