  • From the Old to the New World: Cinematic Offers of Spiritually
    FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW WORLD: CINEMATIC OFFERS OF SPIRITUALLY RECUPERATIVE TRIPS TO THE EMERALD ISLE* Rosa González Casademont Universitat de Barcelona Abstract The recuperative retreat undertaken by Yeats in “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”The ( Rose, 1893) from the drab reality of London’s “pavements grey” to an Irish scenery of solitude and natural harmony where he would find “some peace,” has being persistently rehearsed by Irish expatriates. However, it is in the cinematic portrayals of Ireland, often made by outsiders, where, notwithstanding the changed economic, political and social circumstances experienced by the Republic, the idealisation of rural Ireland and the healing powers of the island’s supposedly primitive lifestyle and values that people escaping from the stresses of urban life and competitive environments have endured longer. By considering the presence, and frequently random use, of anachronistic and clichéd cinematic signifiers of Irishness, the paper highlights both the recent proliferation of offerings of an Emerald Isle that does not exist beyond the screen and a regret concerning the films’ missed opportunity of inter- rogating and building on the vast corpus of the Irish diaspora’s narrativised history. Key words: Cinematic Irish clichés, Ireland as an Arcadia, exogenous expectations of Ireland, Celtic spirituality, romcoms, travel cinema. 119 Resumen La restauradora escapada que Yeats hiciera en “La isla del lago de Innisfree” (The Rose, 1893) desde la realidad monótona de las “aceras grises” de Londres a un paisaje irlandés de soledad y armonía natural donde encontrar “un poco de paz,” ha sido persistentemente emprendida por generaciones de expatriados irlandeses. No obstante, es en las representaciones cinema- tográficas de Irlanda, realizadas a menudo por extranjeros, donde han perdurado por más tiempo la idealización de la Irlanda rural y de los poderes curativos que los supuestamente arcaicos valores y estilo de vida de la isla aportan a las personas que huyen de entornos competitivos y del estrés de la vida urbana.
