Irish Keywords Symposium

7 Nov 2024

Irish Keywords, a symposium hosted at University College Cork with support from the University of Virginia (New Literary History) and the Future Humanities Institute.

Date: 7-9 November, 2024

Abstract

A symposium of scholars who come together to analyze some of the critical and cultural vocabulary belonging to the field of Irish studies and to extend the reach of Irish Studies into a consideration of philology and power. Irish Keywords uses and interrogates Raymond Williams’s methodology, putting it under cultural pressure while opening it up to critical discussion via a selection of freighted examples. The symposium will result in a special issue of the journal New Literary History, co-edited by Claire Connolly (UCC) and James Chandler (University of Chicago).
