Polish-Irish Encounters in the Old and New Europe (Paperback, New edition): Sabine Egger, John McDonagh Polish-Irish Encounters in the Old and New Europe (Paperback, New edition)

The cultural, political, social and economic interaction between Ireland and Poland has a long and complex history. This volume hopes to contribute to an emerging debate around the issues concerned by looking at alternative frameworks for understanding the relationship between the two countries. While the topic has attracted growing interest among researchers from various disciplines in recent years, this is the first book dedicated to exploring this cultural relationship in the context of Polish migration to Ireland. The essays in this collection tease out significant strands that connect the two countries, including literature, visual media, education, politics and history. Examining Polish-Irish relations in their wider historical and cultural context allows for new definitions of Irish, Polish and European identities in the New Europe. Especially important in view of the challenges and opportunities that a multicultural Ireland faces after the hard landing of the Celtic Tiger, this book provides new perspectives on a substantial and vibrant cross-cultural relationship.

A collection of scholarly articles and essays by dancers, scholars of ethnochoreology, dance studies, drama studies, cultural studies, literature, and architecture, Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture: Connections in Motion explores Irish-German connections through dance in choreographic processes and on stage, in literary texts, photography, dance documentation, film, and architecture from the 1920s to today. The contributors discuss modernism, with a specific focus on modern dance, and its impact on different art forms and discourses in Irish and German culture. Within this framework, dance is regarded both as a motif and a specific form of spatial movement, which allows for the transgression of medial and disciplinary boundaries as well as gender, social, or cultural differences. Part 1 of the collection focuses on Irish-German cultural connections made through dance, while part 2 studies the role of dance in Irish and German literature, visual art, and architecture.

From the Margins to the Centre - Irish Perspectives on Swiss Culture and Literature (Paperback): Patrick Studer, Sabine Egger From the Margins to the Centre - Irish Perspectives on Swiss Culture and Literature (Paperback)
Patrick Studer, Sabine Egger
R2,140 Discovery Miles 21 400 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Arising from a colloquium held in Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, in March 2004, this volume offers fresh insights into Swiss culture and literature from an Irish perspective. It brings together articles by writers and scholars from various academic fields including cultural studies, linguistics and literature. The book is a reflection of the multifaceted interests of Irish academics in Switzerland as a cultural space in the heart of Europe. Ireland as a vantage point, situated at the western margin of the European continent, offers new perspectives from which differences as well as surprising parallels between the two cultures become visible and from which Switzerland appears in a different light. The volume critically addresses questions of identity in Swiss literature and culture and discusses them from various angles - by analysing the representation of minority cultures in Swiss literary and media discourse, by reading Swiss literature in an intercultural context, but also through accounts of Irish visitors in Switzerland and Swiss writers travelling to or living in Ireland.

In Literatur und Medien sind Bahnhoefe, Flughafen, Hafen, Parkplatze (und die damit assoziierten Verkehrsmittel) allgegenwartig. Das gilt auch fur Fluchtlingslager und deren Umgebungen. Angesichts transnationaler Mobilitat als Alltagserfahrung sind "Transitraume" (Foucault), "Raume" (de Certeau), "Nicht-Orte" (Auge) und "liminale" Raume (Turner) im "Grenzbereich" (Lotman) zu einem unubersehbaren Topos geworden. In der Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturtheorie tragt das Konzept des "spatial turn" dieser Entwicklung Rechnung. Transitorische Begegnungen in Grenzbereichen sind zugleich eine Herausforderung fur das offene Konzept der Interkulturalitat. Dies diskutiert der vorliegende Band anhand von Fragen wie diese: Was fur Begegnungen finden in Transitraumen statt? Stellen derartige Begegnungen bestehende Identitatskonzepte in Frage? Kann ein Transitraum einen Rahmen fur Transdifferenz oder Hybriditat bilden? Wie beeinflusst die Bewegung in verschiedenen Transportmitteln sinnliche und kulturelle Perspektiven? Wie unterscheiden sich Raume in verschiedenen Gattungen, Medien oder Kunsten? Wie stehen sie miteinander in Bezug? Experten interkultureller Germanistik aus aller Welt antworten darauf in ihren Beitragen aus literatur-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftlicher Sicht.

The excavation of shell middens and mounds is an important source of information regarding past human diet, settlement, technology, and paleoenvironments. The contributors to this book introduce new ways to study shell-matrix sites, ranging from the geochemical analysis of shellfish to the interpretation of human remains buried within. Drawing upon examples from around the world, this is one of the only books to offer a global perspective on the archaeology of shell-matrix sites.

"A substantial contribution to the literature on the subject and . . . essential reading for archaeologists and others who work on this type of site."--Barbara Voorhies, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Coastal Collectors in the Holocene: The Chantuto People of Southwest Mexico
