This course is designed to deepen awareness and appreciation of Ireland’s cultural landscape as it is expressed in the great Irish sagas’ use of location and space, landscape and place, by examining how these are manifest. The overall premise is to assist the students’ understanding of the concept of cultural representation with subsequent application of this understanding through the contemplation of the great Irish Sagas in the context of landscape, Irish based paintings, sculpture, music, subsequent literature, folk art and industry. It will examine specific and emblematic examples of the interdependence and cross-fertilization of mythology and the land with culture and poetry, painting, drama, music, and folklore. This incarnation of IRSH 3213 is a Travel Abroad course.
