Overview

The lectures will explore theoretical issues regarding nation(s), nationalism(s), national identity and will focus on case material related to Ireland and its relation to Britain during the long 19th century.

Goals
• to introduce students to Irish history or to add to their previous knowledge of Irish history (for those who followed the third-year class on the history of Ireland)
• to lay out the key concepts, theories and typologies of nationalism.
• to identify some of the major debates within the study of nationalism and within the study of Irish nationalism.
• to investigate the relationships between nationalism and other social processes, such as language, religion, class, gender, political regulation and globalization.
• to illuminate the ways substantive case material informs theory-making.

A booklet provided in class will include a selection of Irish primary sources as well as extracts from theoretical material. These extracts are taken from books or articles and will be fully referenced in the booklet. Useful books include:
