Ireland in the Concert of Nations
L’Irlande dans le concert des nations
This volume explores different aspects of Ireland, its history and cultural as well as artistic expressions, around the theme of the concert of nations, since independence and the partition of the country back in 1922. The angle chosen is at once historical, political and aesthetic. The two parts of the book – the political and the artistic – reflect the multidisciplinary approach of Irish studies in France, and the desire to give substance to this theme well beyond the most obvious question of ...

AfterwordThis volume explores different aspects of Ireland, its history and cultural as well as artistic expressions, around the theme of the concert of nations, since independence and the partition of the country back in 1922. The angle chosen is at once historical, political and aesthetic. The two parts of the book – the political and the artistic – reflect the multidisciplinary approach of Irish studies in France, and the desire to give substance to this theme well beyond the most obvious question of international relations between states.
The book follows in the footsteps of the Decade of Commemorations that marked the centenary of the events ranging from 1912 to 1923 in Ireland. It bears witness to the abundant historiographical and creative activity of the early twenty-first century. It examines the increasingly complex issues and imaginaries of migration and diaspora, on a planet that seems to be shrinking, reminiscent of the “global village” described by Marshall McLuhan as early as 1967, where socio-economic, political and environmental questions and crises arise and collide more dramatically than ever.
