Between 2012 and 2022 Ireland is officially marking a “Decade of Centenaries” in which the country reflects on seminal events that led to the birth of the state. The Third Home Rule Bill passed in the British Parliament in 1912, effectively paving the way for Irish independence (albeit within the empire). After a tumultuous decade, 1922 saw the final establishment of the Irish Free State, with the island having been partitioned in 1921. The most significant single event in this decade was arguably the Easter Rising of 1916. At that point Ireland was still governed under the Union with Great Britain, and the constitutional path to Home Rule had been postponed because of the outbreak of World War I. In this context the Easter Rising was staged by a relatively small group of radicals who took over key buildings in Dublin and proclaimed an Irish republic. A short week of fighting with the British Army ensued, during which Dublin was completely devastated and the leaders of the Rising were imprisoned. The subsequent execution of the leaders outraged the public and rallied more widespread sympathy for a radical agenda. The historiographical agreement—to the extent it exists—has largely been that as a military maneuver, the Rising was a spectacular failure, but as a symbolic performance of blood sacrifice it was a roaring success.1 While the Rising itself failed to achieve its goals of a united, Gaelic, and socialist republic, historian Diarmaid Ferriter has argued that it came to be seen as the point from which all subsequent Irish history begins.2","PeriodicalId":43507,"journal":{"name":"EIRE-IRELAND","volume":"57 1","pages":"110 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66305048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Greek Tragedy and Irish Politics in the Decade of Commemorations","authors":"I. Torrance","doi":"10.1353/eir.2022.0009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/eir.2022.0009","url":null,"abstract":"The Decade of Commemorations has seen an unusually dense proliferation of adaptations of Greek tragedy in Ireland. Twenty-two works are discussed here, including translations and versions reimagined through stage, screen, and novels. Although Irish authors have a strong tradition of rewriting Greek tragedy, among them Marina Carr, Seamus Heaney, Brendan Kennelly, Derek Mahon, Frank McGuinness, and many others before them, including W. B. Yeats, the density of Irish versions of Greek tragedies performed in the past ten years has been striking.1 It is argued here that the political focus of the commemorations and the nation’s reflection on historical traumas go hand in glove with this surge in adaptations. This is explained by the fact that Greek tragedy is an inherently political art form, and that Irish versions of Greek tragedy are strongly tied to the emergence of the Irish Free State, the formation of which the formal commemorations recall. There is regrettably no space here to do justice to the depth and complexity of individual adaptations. Rather, the aim is to demonstrate how Greek tragic myth has been widely and consistently deployed in Ireland during the Decade of Commemorations (at the time of writing) in order to raise issues of political significance, both overtly and in a more oblique fashion. Two main mythological sagas addressing the Trojan War and the traumas at Thebes respectively emerge as the most frequently produced, while other mythologies concerned with female trauma also appear (Medea, Elektra, Myrrha).
