In 1973, both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland officially
entered the European Union. During the thirty years that followed, the =
face
of Ireland and Irish identity were drastically altered: Between 1970 and
1980, the population of the Republic rose from 3 million to 3.5 million;
Between 1996 and 2000, 200,000 foreigners entered the country, half
returning Irish emigrants and half other foreign nationals and asylum
seekers. Since 1996, over a quarter of the 160,000 immigrants has come =
from
countries outside of Europe and America. International scholarship tends =
to
view Ireland as a mythic tourist spot, the locus of a nationalist =
struggle,
or a forum for rethinking the changes wrought in the move from modernity =
to
postmodernity; but new problems come with the social complexities of
involvement in the world economy and a newly diverse citizenship, and
Ireland's new face demands a long-overdue change in the scope of Irish
Studies.=20

=20

This conference examines the recent changes wrought by Ireland's rapid
modernization and entrance into a world economy, as well as the =
neglected
story of Irish internationalism throughout history, and the history of =
Irish
diasporas. The organizers hope additionally to challenge the traditional
limits of the discipline of Irish studies beyond the interest with
nationhood and identity politics.

=20

Keynote speakers include Professor David Lloyd and Professor Harry =
White.
David Lloyd, Professor of English at the University of Southern =
California,
is the author of Anomalous States: Irish Writing and the Postcolonial =
Moment
(Duke, 1993), Culture and the State (Routledge, 1993, with Paul Thomas) =
and
Ireland after History (UNDP, 1999). Harry White, Professor of Music at
University College Dublin, is the author of The Keeper's Recital: Music =
and
Cultural History in Ireland, 1770-1970 (Cork and UNDP, 1998) and the =
editor
of Musical Constructions of Nationalism: Essays on the History and =
Ideology
of European Musical Culture, 1800-1940, (Cork, 2001).

=20

This conference is being generously co-sponsored by: the Poetry and =
Poetics
Program, Center for International Studies Norman Wait Harris Memorial
Foundation Fund, the English Department, the Anthropology of Europe
workshop, Ethnoise! Ethnomusicology workshop, the Mass Culture workshop, =
and
