ENGL 40431 - Transculturation in Irish Literature

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course considers the vexed topic of cultural change in the context of colonialism by examining key texts originally written in Irish (or a mixture of Irish and English) from a range of time periods, including works of comedy, satire, lament and protest. We will consider the critical literature on transculturation and examine primary texts and consider how they change over time and what they seem to suggest about how people negotiate competing sociocultural and economic imperatives. Knowledge of Irish is helpful but not necessary; translations will be provided along with original texts. Requirements: enthusiastic participation, several short and one long term paper.
