Shonk, Jr., B.A., M.A., M.A.T. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “IRISH BLOOD, ENGLISH HEART”: GENDER, MODERNITY, AND “THIRD-WAY” REPUBLICANISM IN THE FORMATION OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC Kenneth L. Shonk, Jr., B.A., M.A., M.A.T. Marquette University, 2010 Led by noted Irish statesman Eamon de Valera, a cadre of former members of the militaristic republican organization Sinn Féin split to form Fianna Fáil with the intent to reconstitute Irish republicanism so as to fit within the democratic frameworks of the Irish Free State. Beginning with its formation in 1926, up through the passage of a republican constitution in 1937 that was recognized by Great Britain the following year, Fianna Fáil had successfully rescued the seemingly moribund republican movement from complete marginalization. Using gendered language to forge a nexus between primordial cultural nationalism and modernity, Fianna Fáil’s nationalist project was tantamount to efforts anti- hegemonic as well as hegemonic. At the same time that the party sought to dissolve both the Free State and remnants of British Colonialism, it made concerted efforts to construct a new nation along republican lines. Responding to a feminized même by its political opposition, Fianna Fáil established political legitimacy by forging a delayed-Enlightenment aesthetic that triumphed reason, democratic values, and pacifistic insurrection. Faced with the challenges of fierce opposition as well as those associated with the creation of a new nation, Fianna Fáil offered a corrective by clearly delineating that which was acceptable in terms of both tradition and modernity, political agency, as well as constructs of femininity and masculinity. In contrast to the public revolutionary feminist, Fianna Fáil established clear frameworks of appropriate womanhood commensurate with its republican ideology. The party offered a varied level of political agency to women as they were to be both consumers and physical embodiments of a Fianna Fáil-based republic. In contrast, yet symbiotically related, de Valera’s party confronted the economic challenges of the era by creating a socio-economic aesthetic that heralded the party’s masculine, activist economic policy. Having established what was acceptable, the party made a concerted effort to other, or queer, that which did not fit within its nationalistic aims by highlighting their opponents’ inability to fit within the party’s heteronormative binary. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Kenneth L. Shonk, Jr., B.A., M.A., M.A.T. “Real names be proof.” -Minutemeni Since this project began in the spring of 2003 as a seminar paper at California State University, Fullerton, a great number of people contributed to its improvement and to my training as a historian. As such, this dissertation is reflective of the efforts and care given during the last seven years. While at Fullerton, I was fortunate to work with a number of professors, including Cora Granata, Robert McLain, and Jochen Burgtorf, all of whom offered the encouragement and guidance that enabled me to continue work on this project at the doctoral level. It was during this time that I met Daniel McClure and Heather Carter—both of whom have offered unwavering and invaluable friendship, critiques, and unabashed support for my work. Daniel and Heather contributed untold hours in editing drafts and contributing ideas for this project. Though I am grateful for their contributions to my work, I am far more grateful for their continued friendship, not to mention that of their respective spouses, Jennifer McClure and Terry Carter. At Marquette University, I have had the pleasure to work under Timothy G. McMahon, who has offered nothing but positive critiques, support, and élan for this project. It is unlikely that there exists a finer, more dedicated mentor. Irene Guenther played a key role in expanding the project into the realm of cultural history, not to mention encouragement in taking a wider, European scope. Much of the theoretical approaches taken in this project were done so under the guidance of Phillip Naylor, who was unwavering in his interest and dedication to this project. To these three—my dissertation committee—I owe my eternal gratitude. I would be remiss if I neglected to thank Julius Ruff, James Marten, Jana Byars, Lezlie Knox, Carla Hay, Alan Ball and Thomas Jablonsky, all of whom contributed to my training as a historian at Marqeutte. While at Marquette, I was fortunate to forge friendships with a number of colleagues, each of whom either read drafts, contributed ideas, or were encouraging of my efforts. This includes Adam Stueck, Ann Ostendorf, McKayla Sutton and Jodi Eastberg. During the writing process, a great many people not yet mentioned contributed to the dissertation and to whom I offer my thanks. This includes Jason K. Knirck, of Central Washington University, whose work inspired and shaped my own, not to mention his encouragement and willingness to share ideas. Sean Farrell at Northern Illinois University has been generous in his encouragement and interest. To Bairbre ni Chiardha, to whom I owe much in her efforts to help me with the Irish language, as well as her cousin Claire Carey who opened her home in Dublin making my stay in Ireland all the more pleasant. Go raibh mile maith agat. Marianne Elliott has been instrumental in introducing me into the larger field of Irish history. i Minutemen, “History Lesson, Part 2,” Double Nickels on the Dime, SST Records 028, 1984. ii Any work of history is only as good as its sources, and therefore I am grateful to the library staff at Marquette University, California State University, Fullerton, the University of Wisconsin at Madison and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. In Ireland, Lisa Collins and Kate Manning at University College, Dublin Archives, Mary Broderick of the National Library of Ireland’s Ephemerae Collection, Liam Cullen, Head of Research for the Fianna Fáil party, Bertie Ahern for offering to expedite the process with Fianna Fáil, and all the staff at the National Archives of Ireland have my eternal gratitude. A lifetime of appreciation must be given to my parents, Ken and Linda Shonk, who have always supported my efforts no matter how illogical. And finally, to my wife Suzan who has been a constant source of joy, friendship, and support throughout this entire process. To these three I dedicate this dissertation. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………..…….i LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………………..iv LIST OF TERMS IN IRISH………………………………………………………….vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS……………………………………………………….viii CHAPTERS I.

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely.
