Irish Representations In The Films Of Jim Sheridan And Neil Jordan, Jeffrey K. Jack Jan 2005

Irish Representations In The Films Of Jim Sheridan And Neil Jordan, Jeffrey K. Jack

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This thesis explores four films from "second wave" directors Jim Sheridan and Neil Jordan: The Crying Game, The Butcher Boy, The Field, and The Boxer. In these films, Sheridan and Jordan add complexity to previously static film representations of Irish society and culture. The study analyzes the modifications Sheridan and Jordan make to the cultural and political representations of the "first wave" of Irish films, relating theoretical developments more traditionally used in literary studies, including "postcolonialism" and "postmodernism." It also explores how these four films have influenced more recent developments in Irish cinema, including the recent shifting of the settings …

John Boyle O'Reilly & Moondyne (1878), Susanna Ashton

Publications

Arrested for treason against the British Crown and deported to the penal colonies of Australia, the Irish revolutionary John Boyle O'Reilly managed to escape to the United States and within a few years became one of Boston's most prominent political and literary figures, one of the best known Irish immigrants in the United States, and one of the most charismatic individuals of the late nineteenth century. He wrote some of the most popular poetry of the period as well as one obscure but swashbuckling novel, Moondyne (1878), based in part upon the spectacular


Celtic Traditions, Lindsay L. Stewart Jan 2000

Celtic Traditions, Lindsay L. Stewart

Senior Scholar Papers

The essence of the project is to approach the legends and myths through the senses, placing them in the memory and into the viewers imagination by means of narrative imagery and fantastical sounds. Despite growing up on the west coast of Scotland I never knew the stories of the Celts, they have only recently become a part of my imagination. They are fresh to my mind, full of life, color and mystery. The world of the Celts is a wonderful place to play in. I do not propose to pass on a dictatorial view of the stories I have found. …

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore Jan 1992

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore

Honors Theses

PREFACE: I would have to cite the five months I spent in Cork, Ireland as the biggest motivating factor behind this paper. I knew next to nothing about Northern Ireland before this period. Soon after my arrival in Cork, however, I became fascinated with the socio-religious anomaly to the north of me. Since I became a religion major at Colby, I have always been interested in liberation theology. As I read about the poverty, injustice and violence that pervades Northern Ireland, I was reminded of the context in which Gustavo Gutierrez, Tissa Balasuriya, and Elsa Tamez write and live. The …

The Attitude Of Yeats And Stephens Toward The Irish Fairy World Compared With The Traditional Attitude, Josephine M. Purtell Apr 1930

The Attitude Of Yeats And Stephens Toward The Irish Fairy World Compared With The Traditional Attitude, Josephine M. Purtell

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of the fairy world in modern Irish literature should prove rather interesting to Americans because there are so many conflicting ideas in the minds of casual readers of Irish literature. The person who would pick up Yeats' drama, "The Land of Heart's Desire" might, be led to believe that the work of modern Irish writers is thoroughly imbued with a fantastic spirit; while he who would read "The Silver Tassie" or "Juno and the Paycock" by O'Casey might draw the conclusion that the spirit of scientific scepticism which is so prevalent in the world today has affected the …
