  • Electronic Literature in Ireland
    Electronic Literature in Ireland James O’Sullivan Published in the Electronic Book Review at: https://electronicbookreview.com/essay/electronic-literature-in-ireland/ Licensed under: Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License *** Literary Ireland has long embraced experimentation.1 So, in an artistic community that typically gravitates towards the new, it is culturally anomalous to see that electronic literature2 has failed to flourish. Ireland, sitting at the nexus between the North American and European e-lit communities, should be playing a more active role in what is becoming an increasingly significant literary movement. This article provides a much needed account of the field of electronic literature as it exists at present within an Irish context, simultaneously exploring those circumstances which have contributed to its successes and failures. Doing so rectifies a major gap in the national media archaeologies of this field, presenting an incomplete yet untold culturally specific literary history. While a complete literary history of Ireland’s e-lit community3 cannot be accomplished within the constraints of this single essay—there will inevitably be limitations in scope, practitioners I have failed to acknowledge, writings I have missed in my review—what can be achieved here is the beginning of a discourse which will hopefully flourish in years to come. Electronic Literature as Community What makes for a literary movement? In many respects, literary movements are, like any cohort, little more than the coming together of like-minded individuals who share a common interest in a particular ideology or practice—communities are about a shared culture, some elusive thing that binds.

  • Ecocriticism & Irish Poetry a Preliminary Outline
    Estudios Irlandeses , Number 6, 2011, pp. 54-69 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Ecocriticism & Irish Poetry A Preliminary Outline James Mc Elroy The University of California, Davis Copyright (c) 2011 by James Mc Elroy. 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. This article offers a brief thumbnail sketch of how Irish poetry has situated “nature” inside its competing narrative forms. Beginning with Irish poetry’s earliest lyrics and concluding with some of Ireland’s most recent, and most experimental, writers, the goal of the piece is to introduce some rudimentary eco-critical theory as a means of better understanding how nature acts as a complex cultural and political semiotic, so often overlooked, in Irish literature. En route, the article examines and in part deconstructs those critical categories that have often divided Irish literature into two distinct ecological camps: the picturesque (read colonialist/tourist) and the oral (read native/indigenous). The article also considers the importance of ecofeminist theory and asks how critics might better read Ireland’s women poets as nature poets in their own right. In closing, the piece turns its attention to a number of recent poets, both men and women, who have exceeded the picturesque/oral divide and now require eco-alternative readings of nature as we enter the second decade of the 21st Century. Key Words. Nature, ecocriticism, picturesque, oral, ecofeminisim Resumen. El artículo ofrece una breve reseña de cómo la poesía irlandesa ha situado a la ‘naturaleza” en el centro de sus variadas formas narrativas.

Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry. Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still, For poetry makes nothing happen: it survives In the valley of its making where executives Would never want to tamper, flows on south From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs, Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives, A way of happening, a mouth.1 So W.H. Auden wrote in his elegy for W.B. Yeats. His view that poetry does not do political work is one shared by many people, poets included. While some lines of verse may be held aloft as a rallying cry and others might memorialize those who have fallen, few sonnets directly exert a revolutionary fervor.

General Since the arrival of the New Modernist Studies roughly two decades ago, scholarship in modernism has been reliably eclectic, founded on a combination of interdisciplinarity and historicism that equally attends to global and local phenomena in constructing a robust cultural history of the period. Modernism, according to contemporary critics, flourishes across continents, time periods, and the arts, its boundaries moving in a constant yet welcome state of flux.

This article offers a brief thumbnail sketch of how Irish poetry has situated “nature” inside its competing narrative forms. Beginning with Irish poetry’s earliest lyrics and concluding with some of Ireland’s most recent, and most experimental, writers, the goal of the piece is to introduce some rudimentary eco-critical theory as a means of better understanding how nature acts as a complex cultural and political semiotic, so often overlooked, in Irish literature. En route, the article examines and in part deconstructs those critical categories that have often divided Irish literature into two distinct ecological camps: the picturesque (read colonialist/tourist) and the oral (read native/indigenous). The article also considers the importance of ecofeminist theory and asks how critics might better read Ireland’s women poets as nature poets in their own right. In closing, the piece turns its attention to a number of recent poets, both men and women, who have exceeded the picturesque/oral divide and now require eco-alternative readings of nature as we enter the second decade of the 21st Century. Key Words. Nature, ecocriticism, picturesque, oral, ecofeminisim Resumen. El artículo ofrece una breve reseña de cómo la poesía irlandesa ha situado a la ‘naturaleza” en el centro de sus variadas formas narrativas.
