The Irish Independence: A hundred years of perspectives and the effects of new policies
The signature of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921 was a landmark in Irish history, but a controversial one. It did not put an end to the tug of war between Free-Staters and Anti-Treatyites, but deepened the schism which led to the civil war between 1922 and 1923. The undivided Ireland dreamt by many had already been made impossible by the Government of Ireland Act of 1920, which created separate parliaments for Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland. From 1916 to 1923, a series of seminal events took place that shaped the island politically and socially. The events that led up to and followed the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty must be analysed and understood from multiple perspectives.
The XVI Symposium of Irish Studies in South America – organized by the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies in South America (ABEI), the Brazilian public universities Fluminense Federal University (UFF), Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), and the W.B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies – intends to promote discussions among scholars from many fields and different parts of the world to promote a deeper understanding of the impact of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in the past 100 years. This event encourages transdisciplinary approaches to the complex narratives and memories which arise from that period in artistic, cultural, historical, political and social spheres.
The 2021 Academic Committee welcome papers about, but not exclusively, the following topics:
- The building of nation and its narratives
- Historical links of the Americas and Ireland
- The literature of revolutions and independence
- Travel narratives, diaries, letters, photographs and other means of narrating independence
- Brexit and its impact
- Reception of Irish literature
- Folklore and ethno-music
