This groundbreaking collection reframes how popular culture in Ireland and Ireland in popular culture can be understood. The essays examine in unique ways, local and global Irishness, focusing on current versions of traditional culture and new modes of representation, how issues such as gender, sexuality, and race shape contemporary postmodernism in Ireland. From Fanfic to Orange Parades, from Boybands to the Blessed Virgin Mary, from Celebrity Tourism to the Gaelic Athletic Association, the essays address new territories.
This collection explores popular culture in Ireland and Ireland in popular culture, from Fanfic to Orange Parades; from boybands to the Blessed Virgin Mary; from celebrity tourism to the Gaelic Athletic Association. The essays examine local and global Irishness, focusing on how gender, sexuality and race shape Irish 'postmodernity'.
Since the 1960 publication of her first novel, "The Country Girls,"
award-winning Irish writer Edna O'Brien has been both celebrated
and maligned. Praised for her lyrical prose and vivid female
characters and attacked for her frank treatment of sexuality and
alleged sensationalism, O'Brien and her work seem always to spawn
controversy, including the past banning in Ireland of several of
her works. O'Brien's attention to "women's" concerns such as sex,
romance, marriage, and childbirth has often relegated her to
critical neglect at best and, at worst, outright contempt. This
essay collection promises to be a long overdue critical
reevaluation and exciting rediscovery of her oeuvre.
