Northern Ireland is frequently characterized in terms of a "two
traditions" paradigm, representing the conflict as being between
two discrete cultures. Proceeding from an analysis of the
historical and religious context, this study demonstrates the
reductionist nature of the "two traditions" model, highlighting
instead the complexity of ethnic identities and cultural
traditions. It thus shows why attempts at reconciliation like the
Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which seeks to promote the concept
of a "parity of esteem" based on this identity model., are fraught
with difficulties. Reflecting on the applicability of the concept
of multiculturalism in the context of Northern Ireland, the author
proposes a re-conceptualisation of Northern Irish culture along
lines that steer clear of binary oppositions. From the Contents:
'Webs of Significance'; Dis-membering the Past; Divided by Common
Cosmologies; A Discourse in Difference; The Process if
'Cruthinitude'; Un Unclaimed Tradition; Ethnic Nationality; The
'Fuzzy Frontier'; The 'Common Ground'
