    How do we see ourselves? How do we see each other? Questions of identity feature largely in our everyday lives: Advertisements try to sell us things to improve our lives because “they fit us”. A particular set of clothes is turned into a brand which a group of people uses to identify who belongs to them and who does not. In literature, too, questions of belonging somewhere – to a group, to a people, to a nation – are discussed widely, though this is sometimes not apparent from the very outset. In this volume, four essays discuss questions of identity and gender, of identity and nationality in English, Irish and Canadian/Sri Lankan texts ranging from the early nineteenth to the twentyfirst century. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-033-0

    Par un autre exemple de méthode synthétique, les œuvres de deux poètes irlandais contemporains, Seamus Heaney et daran Carson, sont ici comparées pour ce qui est de la façon dont ils traitent de l'histoire. Au delà du contexte irlandais post-colonial où la littérature se trouve aux prises avec l'histoire et l'historiographie, cette étude se poursuit par une réflexion plus générale sur les rapports qu'entretient la poésie moderne avec l'idéologie.

  4. ANU Productions and the Performance of Otherness

    Taking my lead from Ric Knowles’s analysis of interculturalism 'from below’ (Knowles, 2017, 2), the focus of this essay is on the representation of ‘otherness’ in three productions of Ireland’s multi‐award‐winning company ANU Productions: their 2014 play Vardo about ‘travellers’ in an inner‐city community; their 2016 play Sunder, in which contemporary Chinese characters were placed in a centenary production about Ireland’s failed revolution; and in their 2019 production, Faultline, where a previously unknown Black British singer emerges from the Irish Queer Archive. ANU Productions’ intercultural strategy contests monocultural constructions of Ireland, by throwing spectators, without exposition, into often historical scenes featuring characters from other worlds, nations, races and ethnicities. These characters, by their very visual and aural presence in performances ostensibly of monocultural historical experiences, refract and at times challenge essentialist tendencies to write histories of nation. ANU’s focus has always been on ‘others’, the bystanders to history, on those absent from historical constructions. But in their folding of the present into the performed past, a folding the company calls ‘NOW THEN NOW’, new ‘others’ emerge as bystanders, inviting us to stand by them as well.

    This multidisciplinary collection of articles illuminates the ways in which the concept of female deviance is represented, appropriated, re-inscribed and refigured in a wide range of texts across time, cultures and genres. Such a choice of variety shows that representations of deviance accommodate meaning-making spaces and possibilities for resistance in different socio-cultural and literary contexts. The construct of the deviant woman is analysed from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives, revealing insights about cultures and societies. Furthermore, the studies recognise and explain the significance of the concept of deviance in relation to gender that bespeaks a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity. ; Tiina Mäntymäki, Marinella Rodi -Risberg, Anna Foka: "Introduction" 9 // Anna Foka: "Beyond Deviant: Theodora as the Other in Byzantine Imperial Historiography" 29 // Wang Lei: "Ghosts and Spirits as the objet a in Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from Make -Do Studio" 49 // Sanna Karkulehto and Ilmari Leppihalme: "Deviant Will to Knowledge: The Pandora Myth and Its Feminist Revisions" 69 // Tiina Mäntymäki: "Carnivalesque Masquerade.

    The Irish playwright, Friel is among the most prominent contemporary writers. In his works he deals mainly with socio-cultural issues in Ireland. His 1980 play, Translations focuses on the problem of language and cultural colonization in Ireland. Hailed as a postcolonial work, the play is not limited to the depiction of the problem; it presents some suggestions and probable solutions to the problem, especially with a different look at the role and significance of “translation”. While showing a tangible picture of colonial struggles, it tries not to depict a one-sided picture of the problem. The present paper focuses on Friel’s different view toward Irish colonization and Irish cultural nationalism. The objective of the paper is to show how Friel looks differently at the function of language and the crucial role of “translation” in colonial struggles.
