Excursions Vol. 5 No. 1 "Boundaries"
'To be inside and outside a position at the same time – to occupy a territory while loitering sceptically on the boundary – is often where the most intensely creative ideas stem from. It is a resourceful place to be, if not always a painless one.' - Terry Eagleton

1. Title
Found Poetry and/as Pedagogy
2. Background
The territory of 'the popular' is a contested one, not least in an Irish context. While discourses, ranging from politics to aesthetics, regularly claim to know what is popular and why, there is no consensus as to what defines the popular: is it a function of mass and majority, or is it rather an essentialist category springing from the folk tradition of a given region or site?
This problem of definition and delimitation has etymological roots. Popular literally means 'of the people', but what of the Germanic alternative to the Latin root 'populus': the folk?
Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. -- Old Theater Adage (Edmund Kean)
