Eve Patten is Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and Professor of English at Trinity College, Dublin. A scholar in nineteenth and twentieth-century Irish and British literaturę and cultural history, she is editor of the volume of essays, Irish Literature in Transition, 1940-1980 (Cambridge University Press, 2020), and author of a book about representations of Ireland’s revolutionary decade in English writing, Ireland, Revolution, and the English Modernist Imagination (Oxford University Press, 2022). She is currently collaborating with the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen’s University Belfast on the Ireland’s Border Culture project (funded by the HEA Shared Island programme) which will produce a digital archive of border-related literaturę and visual art. She has recently co-edited Dublin Tales, a volume of short stories by Irish writers on the subject of Ireland’s capital, published by OUP as part of their City Tales series in 2023.
This seminar will consider the concept of a ‘culturalborderscape’ (McCall,2021), in relations to the history and cultural geography of Ireland’s borderregion. Since the partition of the Island in 1921, and the introduction of aboundary line to demarcate Northern Ireland from what would become the Republic of Ireland, the idea of a border has been understood largely in military and administrative terms, as a zone of restriction. The‘Ireland’s Border Culture Project’, set up in 2022 by Trinity College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast (with Irish government ‘SharedIsland’ funding) has attempted to understand the border differently, in terms of cultural production – in short, the production of a distinct culture generated through literature, theatre, memoir, film, photography and painting. We will look at a selection of the items included on the project’s website borderculture.net (launching 23 Sept 2024) and consider the ways in which artists and writers have depicted and responded to the history of the is land’s century of partition.
