Civic Identity and Public Space - Belfast Since 1780 (Paperback): Dominic Bryan, Sean J. Connolly Civic Identity and Public Space - Belfast Since 1780 (Paperback)
Dominic Bryan, Sean J. Connolly; As told to John Nagle
R916 Discovery Miles 9 160 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Civic identity and public space, focussing on Belfast, and bringing together the work of a historian and two social scientists, offers a new perspective on the sometimes lethal conflicts over parades, flags and other issues that continue to disrupt political life in Northern Ireland. It examines the emergence during the nineteenth century of the concept of public space and the development of new strategies for its regulation, the establishment, the new conditions created by the emergence in 1920 of a Northern Ireland state, of a near monopoly of public space enjoyed by Protestants and unionists, and the break down of that monopoly in more recent decades. Today policy makers and politicians struggle to devise a strategy for the management of public space in a divided city, while endeavouring to promote a new sense of civic identity that will transcend long-standing sectarian and political divisions. -- .

Orange Parades - The Politics of Ritual, Tradition and Control (Paperback): Dominic Bryan Orange Parades - The Politics of Ritual, Tradition and Control (Paperback)
Dominic Bryan
R742 Discovery Miles 7 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume provides a detailed ethnographic and historical study of the Orange Order parades, relating the disputes over the right to march to the structure and historical development of Orangeism in Northern Ireland. While a number of existing studies recognise the importance of parades in the politics of Northern Ireland, no major study until now has singled out the Orange Order for close scrutiny - or looked at the changing ways in which the parade rituals have been exploited or coopted by specific groups and politicians at different periods of time. This anthropological study examines the Orange Order parade throughout its history, looking at the development of the parades, the history of disputes over the parades, the structure and politics of the Orange Order, the development of loyalist bands, the role of social class in Unionist politics - and the anthropology of ritual itself. The result is an addition to the general literature on ritual which should be of interest to anthropologists, those working in peace and conflict studies departments, and anyone interested in contemporary Irish history and politics.

Consuming St. Patrick’s Day (Hardcover, Unabridged edition): Dominic Bryan, Jonathan Skinner Consuming St. Patrick’s Day (Hardcover, Unabridged edition)
Dominic Bryan, Jonathan Skinner
R1,877 Discovery Miles 18 770 Out of stock

There is probably no national day that has such global popularity as St. Patrick’s Day. On St. Patrick’s Day, it is reputed that ‘Everyone is Irish’. What are the factors and factions that give the day such popular appeal? Is St. Patrick’s Day the same around the world – in Japan, Northern Ireland and Montserrat – as it is in the Republic of Ireland and the United States? Just how does ‘Irishness’ figure in the celebration and commemoration of St. Patrick’s Day, and how has this day been commoditized, consumed and contested? Does St. Patrick’s Day ‘belong’ to the people, the nation or the brewery?This edited volume brings together the best St. Patrick’s Day and Irish Studies scholars from the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, Irish studies, diaspora studies, and cultural studies. The volume thematically explores how St. Patrick’s Day has been consumed from the symbolic to the literal, the religious to the political. By doing so, it offers a fresh examination of its importance in contemporary society. This volume will thus appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Irish diaspora studies, and Irish historians and scholars, as well as to anthropology, sociology and cultural studies students interested in exploring St. Patrick’s Day as a case study of globalization, migration and commoditization.
