Irish-Chinese Literature Event

UCC recently hosted a lively collaborative workshop with leading Irish literature scholars from China. The event was titled "Mapping History: Contemporary Irish and Chinese Literature". The attendees were warmly welcomed by Professor Chris Williams, Head of the CACSSS, and Dr Ă“rla Murphy, Head of the School of English and Digital Humanities. Both spoke of the historic and productive ties between Cork and Shanghai, and between scholars from UCC and China.
The two-day event saw papers on Irish and Chinese authors, including Yan Ge and Anna Burns. There were papers on Seamus Heaney by Dr Adam Hanna (UCC, English) and Professor Zeng Guie (Head of the Centre for Irish Studies, Shanghai University). This workshop came about as the result of a joint initiative between Professor Kiri Paramore (UCC Asian Studies and Confucius Institute) and Professor Zeng Guie. It was partly funded by the Shanghai-Cork Twin Cities grant.
