FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
British Association for Irish Studies Biennial Conference, Staffordshire
University, 6th- 8th September 2002.
Disruptions & Continuities in Irish Politics, Society & Culture
Plenary speakers: Declan Kiberd and Maria Luddy.
After Dinner Speaker: Terry Eagleton
>From the Flight of the Earls to Partition, from the Famine to the Easter
Rising, Irish history and culture has often been presented as a sequence of
disruptions and conflicts; a situation summarised in D.P Moran's
declaration
that Ireland was the location of 'A Battle of Two Civilisations'. However,
other readings suggest that continuity has at least as significant a place
as disruption, as indicated by the longevity of folk traditions and musical
styles, the perpetuation of key literary and theatrical genres, and the
still outstanding issues of religion, gender, class, identity, and
language.
Papers are invited which address these key issues of 'disruption' and
'continuity' from all disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
We are particularly keen to provide a forum for postgraduate researchers.
Proposals for papers and panels (200 words) by April 30th 2002 to:
