Reimagining Ireland
The concepts of Ireland and Irishness are in constant flux in the wake of an ever-increasing reappraisal of the notion of cultural and national specificity in a world assailed from all angles by the forces of globalisation and uniformity. Reimagining Ireland interrogates Ireland's past and present and suggests possibilities for the future by looking at Ireland's literature, culture and history and subjecting them to the most up-to-date critical appraisals associated with sociology, literary theory, historiography, political science and theology.
Some of the pertinent issues include, but are not confined to, Irish writing in English and Irish, Nationalism, Unionism, the Northern Troubles, the Peace Process, economic development in Ireland, the impact and decline of the Celtic Tiger, Irish spirituality, the rise and fall of organised religion, the visual arts, popular cultures, sport, Irish music and dance, emigration and the Irish diaspora, immigration and multiculturalism, marginalisation, globalisation, modernity/postmodernity and postcolonialism.
The series publishes monographs, comparative studies, interdisciplinary projects, conference proceedings and edited books.
A major intervention in Irish Studies. Irish Studies have come back to Ireland itself. The Reimagining Ireland series is at the cutting edge of what it means to be Ireland. (Prof. Luke Gibbons)
