    Fragmentation and Vulnerability in Anne Enright´S the Green Road (2015): Collateral Casualties of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland

    International Journal of IJES English Studies UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA http://revistas.um.es/ijes Fragmentation and vulnerability in Anne Enright´s The Green Road (2015): Collateral casualties of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland MARIA AMOR BARROS-DEL RÍO* Universidad de Burgos (Spain) Received: 14/12/2016. Accepted: 26/05/2017. ABSTRACT This article explores the representation of family and individuals in Anne Enright's novel The Green Road (2015) by engaging with Bauman's sociological category of “liquid modernity” (2000). In The Green Road, Enright uses a recurrent topic, a family gathering, to observe the multiple forms in which particular experiences seem to have suffered a process of fragmentation during the Celtic Tiger period. A comprehensive analysis of the form and plot of the novel exposes the ideological contradictions inherent in the once hegemonic notion of Irish family and brings attention to the different forms of individual vulnerability, aging in particular, for which Celtic Tiger Ireland has no answer. KEYWORDS: Anne Enright, The Green Road, Ireland, contemporary fiction, Celtic Tiger, mobility, fragmentation, vulnerability, aging. 1. INTRODUCTION Ireland's central decades of the 20th century featured a nationalism characterized by self- sufficiency and a marked protectionist policy. This situation changed in the 1960s and 1970s when external cultural influences through the media, growing flows of migration and economic transformations initiated by the government, together with the weakening of the Welfare State, progressively transformed a rural new-born country into an international _____________________ *Address for correspondence: María Amor Barros-del Río.

  • Addition to Summer Letter

    Addition to Summer Letter

    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

    Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 153-164. https://doi.org/10.24162/EI2021-9981 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI From “dead saint” to “lyreless Orpheus”: Post-traumatic Narrativization of Myths and Fairy Tales in John Banville’s The Sea and Anne Enright’s The Gathering Héloïse Lecomte École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France Copyright (c) 2021 by Héloïse Lecomte. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. In The Sea (2005) and The Gathering (2007), John Banville and Anne Enright incorporate modernist and postmodernist intertextuality into accounts of bereavement. While the shattered existence of the protagonists is seemingly devoid of religious belief, they mobilize the palimpsestic immemorial past of mythological and fairy-tale intertexts to make sense of broken realities. The narrators’ self-portraits and invocations of lost people and places, oscillating between reminiscence and mythification, underscore postmodernism’s play with canonical stories. Both authors use mythological syncretism to express their characters’ quest for meaning: while Greek, Egyptian and Norse gods invade The Sea’s modern-day “Atlantis” (132), The Gathering is peopled with subverted Christian and Irish figures. However, rather than restoring coherence, myth and fairy-tale tropes are suffused with desperate irony, and the magic spell woven by mythological counterpoints turns out to be a post-traumatic, grimacing reflection of the characters’ troubled psyches, or an obfuscating screen. By interweaving and debunking seminal myths and tales, Banville and Enright give life to personal myths that bespeak the characters’ deep-seated sense of loss and disenchantment.
