In The Globalization of Irish Traditional Song Performance Susan
Motherway examines the ways in which performers mediate the divide
between local and global markets by negotiating this dichotomy in
performance practice. In so doing, she discusses the globalizing
processes that exert transformative influences upon traditional
musics and examines the response to these influences by Irish
traditional song performers. In developing this thesis the book
provides an overview of the genre and its subgenres, illustrates
patterns of musical change extant within the tradition as a result
of globalization, and acknowledges music as a medium for
re-negotiating an Irish cultural identity within the global. Given
Ireland's long history of emigration and colonisation,
globalization is recognised as both a synchronic and a diachronic
phenomenon. Motherway thus examines Anglo-Irish song and songs of
the Irish Diaspora. Her analysis reaches beyond essentialist
definitions of the tradition to examine evolving sub-genres such as
Country & Irish, Celtic and World Music. She also recognizes
the singing traditions of other ethnic groups on the island of
Ireland including Orange-Order, Ulster-Scots and Traveller song. In
so doing, she shows the disparity between native conceptions and
native realities in respect to Irish cultural Identity.
