The politics of Irish memoryperforming remembrance in contemporary Irish culture /[electronic resource] :Emilie Pine. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2011. - 1 online resource (1 v.)

Includes bibliographical references (p. 185-194) and index.

Past Traumas: Representing Institutional Abuse -- The Remembered Self: Irish Memoir, Past and Present Selves -- The Exiled Past: The Return of the Irish Emigrant -- Embodied Memory: Performing the 1980-1 Hunger Strikes -- In Memoriam: Remembering the Great War -- Haunted Pasts: Exorcising the Ghosts of Irish Culture.

Irish culture is obsessed with the past. While representations of the past have always been an integral element of Irish culture, they are now one of its most compelling subjects. The tone that characterizes this subject is trauma. Emilie Pine explores the trauma and anti-nostalgia that dominates so much of contemporary Irish culture, placing it in the context of the international memory boom. This provocative study sheds new light on writers, film-makers and playwrights, from Nuala O'Faolain to Neil Jordan, and from Frank McGuinness to Marina Carr. The book addresses the issues that most preoccupy Irish society in the early twenty-first century: the traumas of institutional child abuse, suicide, emigration, the legacy of the hunger strikes, and the question of how to commemorate the Irish dead - and reveals how Irish culture plays a key role in resolving the traumas of the past.
