Known for its way with words and proliferation of writers, Irish culture is also notable for the (relative) absence of a visual imagination. Why this predominance of word over image? In this seminar, the tensions between verbal and visual expression in Irish culture will be examined, from its basis in the eighteenth century aesthetics of 'the sublime' in Edmund Burke and the painter James Barry, to the visual effects of nineteenth-century Irish romanticism in painting, fiction (e.g. Lady Morgan) and melodrama (e.g. Dion Boucicault), and the modernist experiments of James Joyce. Special emphasis will be placed throughout on the competing claims of narrative and spectacle, time and space, on the Irish cultural landscape, with a view towards analyzing the distinctive features of an emergent Irish/Irish-American cinema, as evidenced in the work of John Ford, Neil Jordan and others.
