| 備考/ NotesNotes |
This course will explore the themes of identity and culture in four works of modern Irish literature and in the respective films/recitations based on those works. Each of these works, in different ways, explores the fundamental human experience of understanding oneself through the lens of one’s cultural background and the interplay between individual and community identity.
In James Joyce’s story ‘the Dead' from Dubliners (1914), Gabriel Conroy, the main character, struggles with his identity in relation to Irish culture, often feeling detached from the strong nationalistic feelings prevalent at the time, and is drawn towards a more Europeanized perspective. Similarly, in Joyce’s novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), the young protagonist, Stephen Dedalus, rejects his family’s religion and his nation to escape from the confines of societal expectations and pursue his personal/artistic identity.
In W. B. Yeats’ poem ‘Easter, 1916’, from Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1920), the speaker expresses a deep ambivalence about the Irish Rising of Easter 1916 against British rule. The speaker is conflicted about the value of sacrificing everything for the sake of a public cause and questions whether that sacrifice was worth the human cost.
In his play Philadelphia, Here I Come! (1964), Brian Friel narrates the cultural conflict that his young protagonist, Gareth O’Donnell, experiences on the eve of his migration to America. Marginalized by his own culture, Gareth experiences cultural bereavement even though he has not become an immigrant yet. In the play, American culture is seen as serving conflicting roles to Gareth, who experiences an uneasiness about his cultural identity. On the one hand, it serves as an escape from his sense of loss, and, on the other hand, as a threat to his sense of self.
Students will engage in an analytical study of various literary texts, each of which interrogates the complex issue of personal identity within a broader societal context. Unique features of the writing style of each of the works on the course will be analyzed, such as the comic irony of Joyce, the ambiguity of Yeats and the stream of consciousness of Friel. Assigned materials for class should be read in advance, and students will be expected to make a serious effort to participate in class discussions. In addition to the study of the literary texts, students will view scenes from film adaptations, and listen to recitations, of the works studied in class which concern the themes of culture and identity. Although the film adaptations and recitations used are faithful to the literary texts studied, it is hoped that students will also gain a new and deeper insight into the themes of the course through the medium of adaptations.
