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. | Music | Department of Music | /en/fmt/music/events/previous-events/050226---dr-stephen-millar.html |
