So, the chances are that you and/or people you know have a stake in understanding how Ireland and its people have been represented in films. We will look at films made by Irish filmmakers in Ireland and in the diaspora, as well as Hollywood’s Ireland, which has done so much to shape Americans’ views of the country. We will study how cinema relates to Irish nationalism; Irish history, including the Troubles; the role of the Church in Irish society and culture; and at the economic impact of the “Celtic Tiger” and its aftermath. We will also look at how films are used to advertise Irish cultural capital vis-à-vis Britain and the United States. These representations will be examined against Irish realities. Evaluated work will include active participation in class discussion, short response papers, and three or four longer essays. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Sophomore, Junior, or Senior class standing.
