Ementa

Esta disciplina busca mapear como diferentes formas artísticas narram, performam e respondem ao cenário e aos conflitos políticos irlandeses nos séculos XX e XXI. Considera-se aqui a política em suas múltiplas dimensões: identitária, pós-colonial, de classe, de gênero e religiosa. Entre as sombras da Páscoa de 1916, as continuidades do Conflito da Irlanda do Norte, o boom do Tigre Celta e as reverberações do Brexit, exploraremos como artistas irlandeses têm construído respostas a discursos homogeneizantes acerca da identidade nacional, dando forma à memória coletiva e aos conflitos que atravessam a experiência insular. O curso articula teoria narrativa, teoria da performance e teoria política, propondo uma reavaliação das formas como o storytelling representa, critica ou reimagina a nação.

Programa

1.⁠⁠A ilha narrada: nação, território e identidade em Joyce, Yeats e Synge

2.⁠⁠ Ecos do Conflito: vigilância, silêncio e linguagem em Burns, McNamee e Kennedy

3.⁠Políticas do afeto e da precariedade: Carr, McPherson, McDonagh e Rooney

4.⁠⁠⁠Canção, juventude e iconoclastia: O’Connor, Hozier e Fontaines D.C.
