Luke Gibbons is Professor of Irish Literary and
Cultural Studies at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. His
publications include Gaelic Gothic: Race, Colonialism and Irish Culture
(2004), Edmund Burke and Ireland: Aesthetics, Politics and the Colonial Sublime
(2003), The Quiet Man (2002), Transformations in Irish Culture (1996),
and (with Kevin Rockett and John Hill) Cinema and Ireland (1988). He is
currently preparing Joyce’s Ghosts: Ireland, Memory and Colonial Modernity
for publication.
This talk will discuss the Irishness of
Irish art in terms of form rather than representation, contending that the most
important aspects of a work's relation to its culture lie in aesthetic
qualities often considered as lying outside history, or beyond questions of
power and politics.
