Festival, Ritual and Commemoration

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module will critically examine festival, ritual and commemoration in Ireland and their intersections with, and constructions of, national identity. It will demonstrate links between historical and contemporary performance practice by exploration of the development of practice through the lens of modern day engagement. This will be examined by means of both practical and critical literary engagement. Arenas of exploration will be at local, national and international levels.
