AB Transcultural Insights into Contemporary Irish Literature and Societyexamines the transcultural patterns that have been enriching Irish lit-erature since the twentieth century and engages with the ongoing dia-logue between contemporary Irish literature and society. Driven by thegrowing interest in transcultural studies in the humanities, this volumeprovides an insightful analysis of how Irish literature handles the delicatebalance between authenticity and folklore, and uniformisation and diver-sity in an increasingly globalised world. Following a diachronic approach,the volume includes critical readings of canonical Irish literature as anuncharted exchange of intercultural dialogues. The text also explores theexternal and internal transcultural traits present in recent Irish literature,and its engagement with social injustice and activism, and discusses loca-tion and mobility as vehicles for cultural transfer and the advancementof the women’s movement. A final section also includes an examinationof literary expressions of hybridisation, diversity and assimilation toscrutinise negotiations of new transcultural identities. In the light of thecompiled contributions, the volume ends with a revisitation of Irish studiesin a world in which national identity has become increasingly problem-atic. This volume presents new insights into the fictional engagement ofcontemporary Irish literature with political, social and economic issues,and its efforts to accommodate the local and the global, resulting in a re-shaping of national collective imaginaries.
