  • 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.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA James Joyce and The
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA James Joyce and the (Post)Modern Irish Conscience A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of English School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kevin Farrell Washington, D.C. 2013 James Joyce and the (Post)Modern Irish Conscience Kevin Farrell, Ph.D. Director: Rebecca Rainof Mas, Ph.D. This study explores the body of literature surrounding the Easter Rising of 1916 to account for that revolution’s influence upon the development of Irish fiction. Using Ulysses and Finnegans Wake as my primary examples, I argue that James Joyce’s literary innovations emerged partially in response to the ideology expressed by prominent nationalists. Over the past thirty years, postcolonial studies of Joyce’s fiction have revealed the extent to which the author’s aesthetic innovations occurred in dialogue with, and in opposition to, both British Imperialism and Irish Nationalism. While such work has proven profitable, scholars have yet to sufficiently account for Joyce’s response to the Easter Rising, one of the defining moments of modern Irish history. This study endeavors to find that response by tracing the dialectic between the ideology of the Rising and Joyce’s emergent postmodern aesthetic. Through rhetorical analysis of poetry, essays, speeches, and letters produced by the Rising’s most prominent leaders, and texts written by other Irish nationalists, I argue that the Military Council of 1916 established the grounds for their rebellion in reference to a “grand narrative” of Irish national destiny, fashioned around the telos of the Irish Republic.

    IRISH FICTION AND DRAMA OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR (1915-2015): NARRATIVIZING TRAUMA, MEMORY, AND THE COMBATANT IN A DIVIDED IRELAND By ANDRÉA CALOIARO A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Andréa Caloiaro To my loving mother and father, Mary and Ozzie Caloiaro, and my unceasingly supportive wife, Lillian Vargas-Caloiaro ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My deepest love and heartfelt gratitude go first to three of my family members, my parents, Ozzie and Mary Caloiaro, and my wife Lillian Vargas. This project would not have come to be if it were not for their unfailing loyalty, support, and words of encouragement. They have believed in me whenever my confidence wavered, and for that I could not be more grateful. While I owe them a debt that can never be fully repaid, I will do my best through love and devotion. Secondly, for their generosity in time, intellect, and for the invaluable advice they have afforded me over these past five years, I also express my sincere gratitude to my committee members, Dr. R. Brandon Kershner, Dr. Marsha Bryant, Dr. Phillip Wegner, and Dr. Jessica Harland-Jacobs. A special thanks goes to my director, Dr. Kershner, whose groundbreaking dialogical and cultural studies approaches to Joyce and Irish Studies have indelibly shaped my own critical methods and classroom pedagogy. Dr. Kershner is an ideal teacher and mentor; his openness to new ideas and his encouragement for this project have truly made my graduate experience an unforgettable time of scholarly freedom and development.
