FUAIM Lecture: Dr Stephen Millar. Music, Conflict, and Culture War in Northern Ireland
|
For thirty years, Irish republicans, Ulster loyalists, and British state forces fought for control over the six counties of Northern Ireland during a period euphemistically referred to as the Troubles. Today, in the absence of physical conflict, loyalists and republicans are engaged in a culture war wherein language, music, murals, parades, and sports are used to mark territory and claim symbolic space. |
