Written from the perspective of a scholar and performer,
Traditional Music and Irish Society investigates the relation of
traditional music to Irish modernity. The opening chapter
integrates a thorough survey of the early sources of Irish music
with recent work on Irish social history in the eighteenth century
to explore the question of the antiquity of the tradition and the
class locations of its origins. Dowling argues in the second
chapter that the formation of what is today called Irish
traditional music occurred alongside the economic and political
modernization of European society in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries. Dowling goes on to illustrate the public
discourse on music during the Irish revival in newspapers and
journals from the 1880s to the First World War, also drawing on the
works of Pierre Bourdieu and Jacques Lacan to place the field of
music within the public sphere of nationalist politics and cultural
revival in these decades. The situation of music and song in the
Irish literary revival is then reflected and interpreted in the
life and work of James Joyce, and Dowling includes treatment of
Joyce's short stories A Mother and The Dead and the 'Sirens'
chapter of Ulysses. Dowling conducted field work with Northern
Irish musicians during 2004 and 2005, and also reflects directly on
his own experience performing and working with musicians and arts
organizations in order to conclude with an assessment of the
current state of traditional music and cultural negotiation in
Northern Ireland in the second decade of the twenty-first century.
