Who's Afraid of the Celtic Tiger?
Economics, Trade and the Undead in Irish Culture
The death of the Celtic Tiger has risen to the forefront of many debates concerning twenty-first-century economics in Ireland. Various literary and historical perspectives attempt to make sense of Ireland's modernity and nationhood by challenging, celebrating and sometimes even slaying a metaphorical Celtic Tiger. What do we mean when we refer to the Celtic Tiger? Is the Celtic Tiger really dead? Will the death of economic prosperity lead to a reanimation of previous cultural and literary formations in Ireland? Should we be afraid of the (un)dead Celtic Tiger? The 2011 New England ACIS regional conference will explore the topic of Irish culture, trade and economics. Papers in all Irish Studies disciplines are encouraged, as are all papers on Irish subjects that do not specifically address the conference theme. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate. Proposals for panels are welcome.
Papers should not exceed 20 minutes in length.
Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words.
The deadline for submission is September 2, 2011.
