Dragging up the Past: Subversive Performance of Gender and Sexual Identities in Traditional and Contemporary Irish Culture Jeannine Woods This chapter places contemporary drag performance in Ireland within a historical context of dissident, subversive elements of Irish popular culture. The practice of drag, as a performative and political strategy with the potential to disrupt and destabilise fixed gender dichotomies and heteronormative hierarchies of identity, is an international phenomenon associated with the LGBT movement. Drag performance among the LGBT movement in Ireland as explored here serves as a performative practice that queers dominant and intersecting discourses on gender, sexuality and national identity; it also reinflects Bakhtin’s conception of the carnivalesque in a critical engagement with the field of the political. As a practice that draws both on the queer and the carnivalesque, critical drag performance in Ireland both engages with local, national and international cultural politics and also resonates with aspects of traditional Irish popular culture, notably in the context of traditional wake games.

    “I’m Coming Out” The expression of queer identity through Irish nightclub flyers, 1980s—2000s Emer Brennan 2018 Visual Communication Design IADT Dun Laoghaire !i This dissertation is submitted by the undersigned to the Institute of Art Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire in partial fulfilment for the BA (Hons) in Visual Communication. It is entirely the author’s own work, except where noted, and has not been submitted for an award from this or any other educational institution. Signed:____________________________________________________________________ Title image: GAG nightclub flyer, Niall Sweeney, 1996 Courtesy of the Irish Queer Archive Abstract This dissertation examines the expression of queer identity through Irish nightclub posters and flyers from the Irish Queer Archive in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. It gives a cultural and historical context of Ireland and it’s relation to the LGBT community and maps out political and cultural shifs that create social change and set the basis for a more accepting society and community. Further investigation is made into queer culture and how international queer culture affects and influences Ireland at the end of the 20th century. With the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Ireland in June 1993, the boom in club culture and the opening of super clubs in the mid 1990s, a new social scene was created in Dublin for people of all genders, sexualities and interests. The graphic design and production of the flyers and posters for gay nightclubs and events not only created the beginning of a new social scene in Ireland, but also of a new distinct graphic style that is very specific to Dublin and very specific to the time.

  • CHROMA. Exhibition Guide. IMMA, Dublin. 2019
    IMMA PROJECT SPACES 06 DEC 2019 - 29 MAR 2020 CHROMA Large Print Guide Chroma, A Book of Colour – June ‘93 by Derek Jarman is an intensely personal exploration of colour, written during the final year of the artist’s life as his eyesight failed him. Described as an AIDS autobiography, Chroma is also a work of visceral prose, merging aesthetic and queer thinking with the intensely personal, and politically reactive. Published in the same year as the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the Republic of Ireland, Chroma subverts perceived populist norms and is, by default, an inclusive read. Taking this as its cue, CHROMA explores a prism of protest in various guises of play, art, dance, film, language, politics and poetics. Project themes include bodily relations to colour and space, identity politics, cultural blindness, forced anonymity, and the theatrics of (in)visibilities. Embracing the self-determination and quest for personal freedom that underlines many LGBTQ personal histories and experiences, the project will build new alliances across the queer community, providing a dazzling plinth to co- host a multivocal programme of discussions, screenings, workshops and experimental performances. The project interweaves chromatic musings, evocative memories and archival reflections on continued desires to integrate and transform society. Featured projects include Club Chroma by artist and designer Niall Sweeney of Pony Ltd., who turns the gallery into a glittering stage for celebrating colourful community. This draws on Pony’s Page Two Queer Notions, Alternative Miss Ireland collective studio archive, and longstanding manifesto of subverting conformity through dancing, dressing-up and having fun. Featuring interactive agitprops and projected imagery from twenty five years of the Alternative Miss Ireland scene, Niall calls on visitors to unite in becoming agitators, visionaries and glorious outsiders.

Over the past five decades, there has been a transformation in attitudes to / representations of sexual identities in Ireland. Ever since 1983, when a broad-based protest march moved through Dublin in response to the gaybashing and murder of Declan Flynn in Fairview Park, street demonstrations, guerrilla theatre, and public performance have been used by Irish queer activists to protest the pathologising of sexualities and impact of biopower on all of our lives. Focusing on the street theatre of “The Diceman” [Thom McGinty], this essay captures the public staging of Irish queer resistance in 1980s/90s Dublin. Drawing on Judith Butler’s theory of performance activism (and its roots in Hannah Arendt’s work), it explores the The Diceman’s key role in creating a public identity for Irish LBGTQ+ people in the period before the decriminalization of (male) homosexuality in 1993.

And we have achieved a reputation for successfully publishing non-fiction works on crime, terrorism, and memoirs, sport , environmental and social issues. Last year saw the creation of a new imprint, Book Republic. This imprint was set up to combat the traditional model of publishing which, in today’s increasingly uncertain market, often makes it com- mercially unviable to give new authors a chance to get published.
