Imaginary/Real Ireland

=20

The theme of the 2006 AEDEI Conference is Imaginary/Real Ireland. Few =
places have been imagined and dreamed of as Ireland has. Ireland's =
multi-faceted, shifting reality down through history can be viewed from =
a variety of angles: the magical and visionary traditions, the nostalgic =
Ireland(s) of the diasporic memory, the sense of bilocation derived =
from imagined/real frontiers, the post-colonial reversal of =
stereotypical roles or the preference of story-telling to history. Where =
does the real Ireland lie hidden in the new hybrid, multicultural Irish =
society, both north and south of the Border? Is there a real Ireland at =
all? Contributions are invited to explore these two separate yet =
intermixed levels of the real and the imaginary in Ireland from an =
interdisciplinary point of view, involving the social sciences, the =
media, the visual arts, music, history or literary and film studies.
