In contrast to the research that has hitherto been mainly interested in military facts, Nikolaus Braun pursues a primarily legitimizing conflict, a political war of faith in which the symbolic level was just as decisive as military realities. The investigation goes far beyond a conventional story of propaganda and press: not only flags, songs, postage stamps, uniforms, etc. became carriers of national propaganda, but also funerals, hunger strikes, executions, but also the entire foreign policy and large parts of the warfare downright staged. Braun traces how the possibilities of thinking and acting mutually stimulate, condition and block each other, thus making the inner logic of an apparently irrational conflict visible.

Ireland appears to be in the throes of a remarkable process of social and economic change. This text scrutinizes the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the deceptively simple metaphor of the ""Celtic Tiger"".

Ce livre démontre comment certaines composantes de la communauté unioniste nord-irlandaise - notamment le Parti Unioniste et l’Ordre d’Orange - ont récemment lancé une véritable campagne culturelle destinée à repenser l’image identitaire du « peuple britannique d’Ulster » et à briser le carcan des mythes fondateurs de la communauté : le siège de Londonderry et la bataille de la Boyne. Cette nouvelle image identitaire se crée à partir de plusieurs récits qui permettent à la communauté de s’imaginer sur une échelle plus vaste en repoussant ses coordonnées spatiales et chronologiques. Ces récits évoquent l’héritage millénaire des Cruthin, habitants aborigènes de l’Ulster préhistorique, l’émigration presbytérienne vers l’Amérique, ainsi que les échanges linguistiques et culturels entre le Nord de l’Irlande et l’Écosse. Cette réécriture de l’histoire identitaire débouche sur un « désenclavement » de l’espace imaginaire de la communauté unioniste ; elle ouvre la voie vers une remise en question globale des versions nationalistes de l’histoire irlandaise.

The book knits together two of the most significant themes in the social and cultural history of modern Ireland - mass emigration and religious change - and aims to provide fresh insight into both. It addresses the churches' responses to emigration, both in theory and in practice. The book also assesses how emigration impacted on the churches both in relation to their status in Ireland, and in terms of their ability to spread their influence abroad. It first deals with the theoretical positions of the clergy of each denomination in relation to emigration and how they changed over the course of the nineteenth century, as the character of emigration itself altered. It then explores the extent of practical clerical involvement in the temporal aspects of emigration. This includes attempts to prevent or limit it, a variety of facilitation services informally offered by parish clergymen, church-backed moves to safeguard emigrant welfare, clerical advice-giving and clerically planned schemes of migration. Irish monks between the fifth and eighth centuries had spread Christianity all over Europe, and should act as an inspiration to the modern cleric. Tied in with this reading of the past, of course, was a very particular view of the present: the perception that emigration represented the enactment of a providential mission to spread the faith.

La Grande Famine fut et demeure en Irlande un traumatisme majeur dont les effets se perçoivent dans l’inconscient collectif, l’économie, la langue, la culture mais aussi dans la littérature. Les quinze contributions rassemblées dans le présent volume étudient des œuvres de genres divers (roman, nouvelle, théâtre et poésie), dont les dates de publication s’échelonnent du XIXe au XXIe siècle. Toutes ont pour thème fédérateur la Famine et montrent bien que l’événement, qu’il soit traité par des auteurs ayant été ou non à son contact, fait l’objet de différentes interprétations. La Famine en effet reste une réalité historique difficilement saisissable.
