Representing Violence and Northern Ireland

Catalog description

From 1968 to 1998, the Six Counties of Northern Ireland experienced a sustained period of politically motivated violence and terrorism. The period known as The Troubles has left an indelible mark on Northern Ireland and its literature, often summed up in Seamus Heaney's famous dictum: whatever you say, say nothing. This course explores the history, ethics, and representation of the Troubles in Northern Irish Literature. CO: COM 101 .
