Field Day and the Translation of Irish Identities: Performing Contradictions [Hardcover]

This book examines Field Day's cultural intervention into the Northern Irish 'Troubles' through individual readings of the fourteen plays produced by the enterprise. It argues that at the heart of this project were performances, in a variety of different forms and registers, of an ethics of translation that disrupted notions of Irish identity.Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction.
