Paperback. Condition: New. Irish Revivalist playwright J. M. Synge is often regarded as a realist. Yet what happens when his work is analysed through wider performance studies and situated alongside less familiar historical contexts? By addressing this question, Hélène Lecossois offers new and valuable perspectives on Synge's plays while at the same time engaging with the complexity of his treatment of a range of performance practices - from keening at rural funerals to the performances of 'native villagers' in the entertainment section of International Exhibitions. What emerges from her study is a dramatist acutely aware of the ability of theatre in performance to counteract relentless forward-moving narratives of modernity. Through detailed, contextualized case studies, the book simultaneously makes meaningful contributions to performance studies and opens up theoretical questions of performance relating to the status of the object on stage, the body on stage and theatrical time.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a scholarly investigation of multiple temporalities in Irish cultural life. It brings together fifteen essays written by historians, visual art and literary and cultural critics, the purpose of which is to stimulate forms of reading and approaches that are more accommodating both to Ireland's colonial history and to a contemporary present dominated, among other issues, by immigration, economic precariousness, and the spectre of racism. Upsetting teleological chronology, the contributions in this book explore through a variety of prisms the ways in which the geological and colonial past, the unstable present and an uncertain future fold into each other in Irish arts, culture and society, thus enabling new vistas and innovative reappraisals to come to the fore. A wide-ranging, rich volume that examines the way in which the past continues to exert force on the present in Irish culture, from the representation of racial and ethnic minorities in Irish film to narrations of trauma in contemporary literature from across the island. Foregrounding the work of both established and up-and-coming scholars, The Presence of the Past offers insight into knotty questions concerning time, memory, history and trauma in Ireland.' - Dr. Oona Frawley is Associate Professor at Maynooth University.…
