By 1987 the historically revolutionary and impoverished Republic of Ireland emerged as one of the economic miracles of Europe, due to “The Celtic Tiger” boom. By joining the EC and through the introduction of progressive politics, the former provincial nation started its process towards modernization, which has allowed its inhabitants to enjoy a higher standard of living. However, becoming a global nation has undermined the traditional values on which the Republic had been built, offering new social models and alternative forms of families. Historical revisionism has also provided a fresh reading of the Irish bloody past, all of which has taken Irish people to face unprecedented questions about their past and future identity. As a result, ambivalences and institutional inconsistencies -typical of a period of social transition in the history of this nation- have emerged, forcing Irish people into a process of “re-imagining Ireland” in order to become a more tolerant and pluralistic society for its own people, for foreigners but also for those who once decided to leave their homeland and constituted the Irish diaspora. The purpose of this research work is to analyse representations of contemporary Ireland and the process of reconstruction of individual and national identities, as they are reflected in two contemporary novels by Irish writer Colm Tóibín, one of the most acclaimed post-nationalist literary figures today, in Ireland and abroad. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The research problem I have been interested in the area of Irish Studies since I attended a seminar on the “Narratives of the Irish Diaspora” in 2006 -as part of the undergraduate seminars I was required for my Bachelor‟s Degree course. Since then I have been working on this field as a member of three projects in the Department of Foreign Languages of the National University of La Pampa: “Irlandeses en Argentina: recuperación de fuentes, traducción y crítica” (2007-2010), “Las Américas e Irlanda. Estudios culturales y traducción” (2011- 2014) and “Literatura irlandesa: estudios socio-críticos y traducción como diálogo intercultural”, since 2015. In my previous explorations within Irish Studies I researched on the narrative of the Irish diaspora in Argentina, covering a period between the late 1800s and the early 1900s. For this second stage of my investigation I have focused on contemporary Irish literature in English, in order to analyse the impact of transcendental cultural changes in more recent Irish fiction. A new socio-political scenery has emerged in the Irish territory in the last three decades, characterized by the economic success of Ireland, its incorporation to the globalized world, a low unemployment rate and a greater freedom gained by some groups considered, until recently, as a minority. These phenomena have also allowed Ireland to start overcoming the diasporic period that affected it from the end of the 17th century to the mid-20th century, which left the country with one of the highest emigration rates in history. Within this recent socio-political and economic background, new patterns of individual and collective identity have emerged together with new cultural forms, which clash with traditional beliefs and values. As a result, identity crises and contradictions - common in the confluence of the past and the present- challenge Irish individuals in this changing social context. Thus, in spite of being fictional constructions, novels become the most useful literary genre to portray several aspects of the social reality in which they are produced or contextualized. 1.2 Purpose and objectives The purpose of this research work is to analyse the representations of contemporary Ireland and the process of reconstruction of individual and national identity after the numerous transformations that have taken place in the Irish society since the late 1980s, as they are represented in two contemporary novels by Irish writer Colm Tóibín: The Heather Blazing (1992) and The Blackwater Lightship (1999). The most general objective of this work attempts to determine what intersections can be established between the concepts of identity, time and space/place in the corpus under analysis, and to what extent these issues can be associated to the process of re-inventing itself that Ireland has been undergoing during the last thirty years. 1.3 Hypothesis and research questions Tóibín‟s fictions interrogate the problematic relationship between republican ideology, constitutional discourse and social reality in modern Ireland. For this research work I chose two of Tóibín‟s novels since he is considered as one of the most prominent figures within the literary movement of contemporary Ireland as well as one of the main Irish revisionists of these times. Therefore, my hypothesis is that like many other contemporary Irish novels, Tóibín‟s novels faithfully depict key socio-political transformations that took place in Ireland by the late 1980s and early 1990s, which have had a tremendous impact on the identity of that country. In addition, and as a result of their personal lifestories, Tóibín‟s protagonists have identities in crisis, which are crossed by the identity crisis of the Irish nation. Through my research, I intend to answer the following questions: How do Tóibín‟s characters manage tensions and contradictions while they attempt to rebuild their individual and collective identity in the context of the latest socio- cultural and political changes? What narrative strategies are used by the author in order to represent the identity of the Irish characters as “fragmented”? In particular, what role do place and time play in these works by Tóibín? 1.4 Previous research To my

  • Ágnes Zsófia Kovács Sweet Duplicity: Jamesian Moral Ambiguity in Colm Tóibín’S Brooklyn
    “Sweet Duplicity: Jamesian Moral Ambiguity in Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn” Mítoszok bűvöletében: Ünnepi kötet Virágos Zsolt Kálmán 70. születésnapjára. / Enchanted by Myth. A Volume for Kálmán Zsolt Virágos on his 70th Birthday. Németh Lenke, Zoltán Simon, András Tarnóc, and Gabriella Varró, eds. Debrecen: Kossuth UP, 2012. 82-87. Ágnes Zsófia Kovács Sweet Duplicity: Jamesian Moral Ambiguity in Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn Colm Tóibín (1955) the internationally renowned Irish novelist published his sixth novel Brooklyn in 2009, which won the Costa Book award the same year. It relates the story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irishwoman who emigrates to the US looking for a better life in the 1950s. The book is a fascinating read both because of how it handles the problem of cultural difference between the US and Ireland of the 1950s and also because of the detached storytelling, the use of point of view limited to the perspective of one character, that allows for multiple readings of the same imaginative scenario. Incidentally, both themes, the negotiation of cultural difference and the limited point of view triggering diverse reactions tie the book in with Tóibín’s other novels, his avowed psychological interest, the so called Jamesian legacy. In this essay, I am going to pinpoint those elements of Brooklyn that create a moral dilemma constructed along Jamesian lines. I claim that the subjects of illicit love, misguided loyalty, and moral ambiguity in the novel are themes that are connected to the Jamesian power of secrets Tóibín continues to explore. In order to make my position clear, first I am exploring those elements of the plot in Brooklyn that lead to Eilis’s moral dilemma about secret lovers.

  • We Can Work It out Lyrics Pdf
    We can work it out lyrics pdf Continue Michelle Carvo Apple iPods, such as Nano and Touch, come with a variety of features thanks to the addition of apps and games. However, the main feature of the iPod is the ability to play songs. Playing these songs is easy enough, but making the lyrics of the show on the iPod a little more difficult. By following a few specific steps, you'll be able to add and do the texts show on your iPod. Manually add lyrics to each song on your iPod that you want the lyrics to be shown during the game. Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't do this automatically for you, so you'll need to add lyrics by opening iTunes, clicking on the song right and selecting Get Info and then Lyrica. Enter the text or copy/paste them, and then click OK to save them. Re-synchronize the songs you've added lyrics to your iPod. You can do this by selecting a file and dragging it onto the iPod logo on the left side of the menu. Start the iPod app on your iPod. Choose a song to play on your iPod. Tap the center of the screen while playing the song on iPod Touch. Click the Center button on classic or Nano. The lyrics will now be shown on the screen. Click on the center of the screen or the Center button again to make the texts disappear. You know these annoying lyrical sites that instantly try to freeze your computer back into the Stone Age?

  • DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Before She Goes to America, Eilis Believes
    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Before she goes to America, Eilis believes that, “While people from the town who lived in England missed Enniscorthy, no one who went to America missed home. Instead, they were happy there and proud” (pg 26). Why do you think the Irish had such a rosy view of America? How are Eilis’s expectations met upon her arrival? 2. As Eilis begins night classes in accounting, she notes the divisions between Italian and Jewish students, and the lack of English or other Irish students. At work, she must confront racial integration when Bartocci’s opens its doors for the first time to black customers. How does Eilis react to the divisions among Europeans immigrants from different countries, as well as those between white and black Americans? How are the traditional ethnic lines of Brooklyn beginning to break down in the 1950s? 3. When Eilis and Tony first meet, she seems more interested in him as an escape from her troublesome housemates than as a genuine romantic interest. Tony, however, is clear about his love for Eilis from the start. Why do you think Eilis is hesitant in her feelings? Is a relationship with such uneven attachment doomed from the start, or do you believe that one person can “learn” to love another over time? 4. Some characters in the novel are referred to as Miss or Mrs., while others are identified by their first name. Does this reflect their relationship with Eilis? Why would Colm Toibin make this stylistic choice? How would your perception of the characters in Brooklyn be different if Tobin had written the novel from the “first- person” perspective of Eilis? 5.

TThe Pale (An Pháil in Irish) or the English Pale (An Pháil Shasanach or An Ghalltacht) was the part of Ireland that was directly under the control of the Eng- lish government in the late middle ages. It had been reduced by the late 15th cen- tury to an area along the east coast stretching from Dalkey, south of Dublin, to the garrison town of Dundalk. The inland boundary went to Naas and Leixlip around the Earldom of Kildare, towards Trim and north towards Kells. In this district, many townlands have English or French names. Dublin Castle was built upon the site of the previous Viking settlement in Dublin. The Castle was the site of many historic events concerning the ruling of Ireland since it was established under orders from Norman King John of England in the early 13th century. The medieval fortress had four corner towers linked by high curtain walls which were built around a large central enclosure. It had a moat supplied with water diverted from the River Poddle and a draw bridge. Its secu- rity was never breached. It was adjacent to the site of Dubh Linn or black pool, a water source from which the capital city has derived its name.
