Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Irish cinema (which throughout its history has heavily relied on Irish literature for sources, inspiration, and re-interpretation) provides privileged access to an analysis of some of the major myths of Irish cultural identity. It is particularly interesting to see how a variety of different perspectives (especially those that suggest modernisation and globalisation) run counter to the stereotypes of a Catholic Gaelic Rural Ireland which dominated the country's (self-)image for the better part of the 20th century.
The following films (plus the corresponding 'literary' texts) are proposed for close scrutiny:
- 'The Quiet Man' (1952; dir. John Ford; based on short story by Maurice Walsh)
- 'The Dead' (1987; dir. John Huston; based on short story by James Joyce)
- 'The Field' (1990; dir. Jim Sheridan; based on play by John Keane)
- 'Korea' (1995; dir. Cathal Black; based on short story by John McGahern)
- 'Man of Aran' (1934; dir. Robert Flaherty; referenced in Martin McDonagh's play 'The Cripple of Inishmaan')
