DESCRIPTION
This module explores the intersection between landscape, culture and literature in modern Ireland. It examines how ideas of 'placemaking' and 'sense of place' are defining features of Irish cultural traditions, particularly as expressed in Irish literature. Through a close reading of texts written in the English language, the module examines how the Irish landscape (and ideas of space and place) has played an important role in shaping the Irish cultural and literary imagination. It will also look at the ways in which Irish writers in the English language tradition deal with a sense of displacement which is a characteristic of the Irish experience in the modern period. Key critical approaches include: ecocriticism, environmental humanities, translation studies and cultural geography.
