Yet the categories of Irish culture and Irishness are highly performative effected through a wide range of social practices cultural formations discursive utterances and in timely need of critical address. As social and political change continue to have enormous effects on Ireland and its diaspora it has become more important than ever to engage with performances in and of Irish culture. This new paperback edition of Crossroads: Performance Studies and Irish Culture examines Irish culture through some of the paradigms and vocabularies offered by performance studies. As the title of the book makes clear Brady and Walsh return to the evocative metaphor of crossroads to signal the intersection of disciplines. The roads mapped here are metaphorical and real multiple and mobile. Practices epistemologies temporalities geographies and identities splinter in their wake clearing the ground for the emergence of nuanced understandings of performance and cultural politics.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Crossroads: Performance Studies And Irish Culture\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Walsh Fintan\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781137425713\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 255 Pages, 9 Illustrations, Black And White; Xiv, 255 P. 9 Illus.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/27\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: British \u0026amp; Irish History","brand":"Walsh Fintan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49613609861425,"sku":"IN-G-9781137425713","price":56.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781137425713.jpg?v=1724607393","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781137425713-crossroads-performance-studies-and-irish-culture","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
