This
interdisciplinary course deals with the history of Irish culture, based upon the effects
that are visible on the countryside. This is an intensive course in which students study
aspects of the unique culture that has formed the Irish character. The term will consist
of trips to sites of outstanding historical importance and natural beauty, along with
detailed discussions of the highlights of Irish literature, art and history. Students will
study a diversity of topics, including: pre-historic architecture, the archaeology of the
Dingle Peninsula, Celtic society and customs, medieval monasticism, the Famine, Irish
film-making and aspects of Irish literature and art. The course is taught through a
combination of on-site lectures, seminars and field study to allow students to experience
Ireland and Irish culture in-depth and at first-hand. Evening guest lectures, theatre
trips, art exhibitions and music events complement the programme to provide a dynamic
insight into Irish culture. |
