“Overlapping Territories”: Geographies Of Irish (Post)Modernity
The title takes its cue from Edward Said who so eloquently insists on the importance of interrogating the geographical dimensions to ‘Culture’. A critical examination of the production of culture becomes all the more pressing when one considers a recent symposium dedicated to what is now widely called Irish Cultural Studies announced that this emerging sub-discipline now issues “cultural cache.” No doubt this has much to do with the emergence of postcolonial studies - along with the body of poststructuralist theory associated with it - and its application in an Irish context. Such (re)formations call for critical reflection and I see this session as creating a space for dialogue on Irish Cultural Studies within a broad geographical framework. Papers for the session might include some of the following themes:
Colonial and postcolonial geographies
Literature and territoriality
Travel and travel writing
Producing national geographies
Sexuality and space
The relationship between Irish culture and politics
Locating Ireland in the Atlantic World
Please provide the following details:
(1) Name, institutional affiliation and contact information
(2) A few lines on your proposed topic (50 words or thereabouts)
(3) Participant number which I require in order to submit you to the session. You will receive a participant number automatically after you submit you abstract at AAG web page (www.aag.org).
Best regards,
David Nally
