Particular attention is paid to the intersections of political and cultural impulses that led to the creation of the two states in the twentieth century\u2014the Republic and Northern Ireland\u2014and to understanding how both subsequently operated as states. To do this, the course explores how ideas of what constituted Irish identity have been proposed, have come to assume hegemonic force, have been debated and resisted through political and cultural activities, as well as through modes of historical interpretation. <br \/><strong>Objective<\/strong>: The course intends to further students\u2019 skills in understanding how literary and other cultural texts interact with political and historical events. To this end, students will be introduced to some of the major texts in twentieth-century Irish literature and history. They will also be introduced to some of the major debates in Irish Studies such as postcolonialism, revisionism and nationalism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: small;\"><strong>Syllabus<\/strong>:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Session 1: Outlining the course and organisation of presentations<br \/>Session 2: Locating Ireland<\/strong><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Overview of Irish history and culture up to the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century<br \/><strong>Session 3: Colonialism and Nationalism<br \/><\/strong>Lecture: 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century Irish nationalism<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Seminar: The Famine; Celticism; Cultural nationalism<br \/><strong>Session 4: The Literary Revival<br \/><\/strong>Lecture: The Revival and the founding of the Abbey Theatre<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Seminar: W.B.
