Objetivos

The aim of this course is to facilitate the students’ informed contact with some of the dimensions of a culture that, in spite of its international popular and academic importance, has only exceptionally been studied in the Portuguese universities. In accordance with the curricular practice of the Department of Anglo-American Studies, the contents of this course concentrate on the cultural and literary dimensions of the Irish reality.

Programa

The course intends to study a set of texts capable of revealing the complex social, economic and political factors that determine and are determined by the cultural and literary sphere. In accordance to a perspective particularly concerned with the representations of historical processes, namely those with a greater impact on the construction of collective identities, a special consideration will be given to the importance of language in Irish culture and literature. Such a consideration includes not only the traumatic loss of the ancient language, Gaelic, but also, through the adoption of English, the condemnation of the Irish historic path to the ‘accidents of translation’. Our purpose is, thus, to explore a cultural and artistic production marked by rupture and renewal. The study of the play ‘Translations’ (1980), by Brian Friel, located in 1836, will function as the starting point for a double movement, both backwards and forward in Irish history.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The nature of the course will demand, especially during the first classes, that the teacher conveys a set of coordinates and problems regarded as important for the prosecution of the study. However, and given the textual basis of the course, it will be indispensable to rely on the regular and active participation of students, both orally and through written assignments, which will find its necessary expression in the evaluation.
