Redefining Irishness in a Globalized World
Emerald Publishing Limited (Verlag)
978-1-83797-942-4 (ISBN)
In this multimedia work, author Yaqoub BouAynaya delves into perceived Irishness and how identity in Ireland evolves within an ever-changing society. Yaqoub examines how identity-related values impact individuals’ engagement in their perceived social reality and studies their representation at the local, national, European and global levels. Additionally, chapters explore the evolution of nationalism and its connection to the postcolonial Irish nation state in the context of European governance and globalization. Discussing and often deconstructing ‘Irish’ national identity, the author incorporates still portraits which expose the reader to variations of Irishness. Drawing on focus groups and analysis of transcribed conversations, Yaqoub presents contemporary attitudes towards identity, ethnicity and citizenship within both Irish and global contexts.
Reimagining 'Irish' identity on a uniquely intimate level, this richly thoughtful work aspires to a more egalitarian society in Ireland, Europe and beyond, encouraging readers to rethink their own national identities in turn.
Yaqoub BouAynaya is Lecturer in Sociology at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), Ireland. In 2006, Yaqoub studied photojournalism at the renowned Danish School of Journalism and has been an ardent photographer ever since. He was awarded Masters of Philosophy in Race, Ethnicity & Conflict (2011) and successfully defended his PhD thesis in Sociology in 2016 at Trinity College Dublin (2016). The appeal of photography for Yaqoub, especially photojournalism, is the unspoken word.
