How shared histories impact on the representation of national identity is not something that has been fully explored in Irish curatorial practice to date. It is possible that this is because Ireland has only recently been affected by global mobility. This thesis is an attempt to establish how artists and curators can facilitate more open and pluralistic representations of national identify in exhibitions of contemporary art. Examining the term nation and looking at representations of national identify is a complex process that often reveals contradictory arguments. Global mobility has created what could be termed a crisis of representation in the contemporary Irish visual arts. This crisis of representation is addressed over four...

The United Kingdom, a sovereign state to the northwest of continental Europe, consists of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Consequently, there is "no common stratum of administrative unit encompassing the United Kingdom". Because there is no written document that comprehensively encompases the British constitution, and owing to a convoluted history of the formation of the United Kingdom, a variety of terms exist which are used...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John of Fordun was a Scottish chronicler. It is generally stated that he was born at Fordoun, Mearns. It is certain that he was a secular priest, and that he composed his history in the latter part of the 14th century; and it is probable that he was a chaplain in the St Machar's Cathedral of Aberdeen. The work of Fordun is the earliest attempt to write a continuous history of Scotland. We are informed that Fordun's patriotic zeal was roused by the removal or destruction of many national records by Edward III and that he travelled in England and Ireland, collecting material for his history. Collectively, this work, divided into five books, is known as the Chronica Gentis Scotorum. The first...

The history of Ireland remains to be written, for the purpose of Irishmen remains yet to be achieved.

This book explores the context of early Australian- Irish emigration history and the settlement experiences of women of Irish descent. It analyses the cultural and social histories of a group of nineteenth century Australian born women of Irish emigrant heritage to understand how they negotiated the issue of home in their writing. Terms of self-expression used by the respective women writers suggest that Ireland was a central theme that shaped and influenced the ways they saw themselves as Australian women. Home was a problematic construct when referenced from the perspectives of gender, nationality and ethnicity. Their Irish emigrant heritage helped them to negotiate Australia's cultural topography enabling them to challenge, make sense...
