Media and Culture in Ireland
Ireland
Term: Summer
Dates: Please contact us for updates.
Description:
Students will become sophisticated in issues of international culture via an immersion in Irish politics, history, literature and media. Ireland's role in the European economic community has attracted wide interest from those interested in the mechanics of social change. The Irish film industry stands as a model for understanding media's role in those developments and students will be introduced to leading scholars and practitioners in that area.
Highlights:
Lectures/question-answer sessions will be provided by eminent Irish scholars and authors, including Professor Luke Gibbons, co-author of Cinema and Ireland (1989) and the author of Transformations in Irish Culture (1996). In addition, there will be prominent Irish film and television directors as guest lecturers who will present their media productions. Major Irish authors will also present readings from their work. Students in previous years have visited such local cultural and historical sites as the Abbey Theater, Glendalough Monastic site, Kilmainham Gaol, Trinity University's 'Long Room' and attended the Galway Film Festival.
