Learning Beyond the Classics: Screening the Irish Troubles
Description
This Learning Beyond the Classics course looks at how political conflict in Ireland, from the 1916 Rebellion and the War of Independence up to and including what became known as “The Troubles” in the North of Ireland, has been represented on screen. The class will analyze a wide variety of cinematic texts, from mainstream commercial Hollywood to independent Irish and British films. Certain seminal events such as Bloody Sunday and the 1981 Hunger Strikes, which have a diverse representational history on screen, are given particular attention offering insight on how the representation of Ireland’s history continues to shape contemporary politics and impacts filmmaking practices both in Ireland and worldwide.
