Abstract:

Toward the end of the Troubles, the notion of an Ulster-Scots ethnicity, culture, and language began to be pursued by certain unionists and loyalists more desirous of ‘something more racy of the soil’ (Dowling 2007:54). Peace-building in Northern Ireland had undergone something of a cultural turn: the armed struggle over constitutional and civil rights questions began in the eighties to be ‘ethnically framed’ (Brubaker 2004:166). With cultural identity politically potent, the conception of an Ulster-Scots ethnic group began to gain traction with a tiny but influential subsection of unionists and loyalists. Since the nineties, this movement has gained considerable ground. This thesis represents an intersectional investigation of the inclusion of Ulster-Scots education into schools in Northern Ireland. I contend that Ulster-Scots studies represents an ethnicisation of the conception of a discrete Protestant politico-religious “community” within Northern Ireland, holding considerable potential for the deepening of senses of intercommunal differentiation. Rather than presenting the potential for the deconstruction of ideas of difference, such a pedagogy of reifies, perpetuates, (re)constructs and even deepens such ideas of difference by grounding notions of difference in ethno-cultural and genealogical bases. Ulster-Scots is often described as a means of waging cultural war in post-conflict Northern Ireland (Mac Póilin 1999). Contrariwise, I contend that it represents neither the uncritical, sectarian, loyalist pedagogy of its critics nor the pragmatic and innocuous solution to a problem of durable collective identities of its protagonists. Rather, Ulster-Scots education is embedded in the politics of consociational peace. The logic of consociationalism explicitly entails the maintenance of stark boundaries of ethnic difference. This research does not merely critique of Ulster-Scots pedagogy, but calls into question the whole consociational logic in which it, and the Northern Irish peace process in general, has been embedded.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between Ulster unionists and the United States during the Home Rule era from 1880 to 1920. As they fought to uphold the Union, Ulster unionists reacted to Irish-American involvement in the Irish nationalist movement with anxiety and fear of the impact on a potential Dublin parliament. At the same time, unionists cultivated an image of a violent and extremist Irish-America in order to counter Irish nationalism and support their own movement. Unionists condemned the American funding of Irish nationalism and United States government interference on the Irish question. However, they were also anxious to show that unionism had international appeal, seeking American support against Home Rule and promoting a self-image of close ties to the United States. This thesis argues that Ulster unionists took a multifaceted and paradoxical approach to America, repudiating American involvement in the Irish nationalist movement while attempting to find opportunities to advance the cause of unionism in the United States. Throughout the Home Rule period, the Ulster unionist record of appeals and responses to the United States was marked by unevenness and contradictions which limited their effectiveness. However, unionists increasingly used an idealized, imagined America to support their own movement. They cited American historical and constitutional examples and fostered an Ulster identity based in part on Scotch-Irish heritage and Protestant connections. Ulster unionists were less insular and more internationally focused than they are generally portrayed. Chapter I introduces the historical context and historiographic framework in which the thesis operates. Chapters II and III provide an overview of the relationship between Ulster unionists and the United States from 1880 to 1920. During this period, unionists attempted to garner American support for their movement while contemporaneously responding to Irish-American nationalism and the involvement of the United States government on the Irish question. Subsequent chapters are arranged thematically, examining the elements of the Ulster unionists’ American strategy. Chapter IV investigates Scotch-Irish ethnic revival and associational culture in the United States, analyzing continued links to Ireland and attitudes toward Irish Home Rule. Chapter V provides case-studies of unionist visits to the United States as they endeavored to counter nationalist influence and build up a unionist following. Chapter VI explores the interconnection of religion and politics in Ulster’s relationship with America. Chapter VII examines the impact of American history and politics on the Ulster unionist movement. Chapter VIII concludes that the inability of Ulster unionists to effectively deal with the United States in the present day has roots in the relationship between unionists and America during the Home Rule era.

Abstract:

L’étude de l’identité de la communauté des protestants d’Ulster s’articule en deux parties, la définition de l’identité de cette communauté et son intégration dans une identité plus vaste. L'identité de cette communauté s'articule autour de 5 thèmes, la supériorité du protestantisme pour les cadres, pour les classes populaires, le respect du contrat, l'Empire, la disparition d'un mode de vie typiquement protestant. Comment cette communauté se définit-elle par rapport à la nation britannique et à la nation irlandaise? Les protestants d’Ulster se sentent irlandais même s’ils n’ont pas réussi à imposer leur définition de l’irlandicité, de même avec les Britanniques. Mais ils ne font partie ni de la nation irlandaise ni de la nation britannique. Ils comprennent ce double rejet comme la preuve que ce sont des Irlandais et des Britanniques supérieurs. Ils veulent faire partie non pas de la nation britannique mais de l’Etat britannique. C’est l’Empire qui a masqué cette différence
First, I studied Ulster Protestants identity by defining 5 themes, the superiority of Protestantism, whether for uneducated or for educated classes, the idea that Ulster Protestants keep their words, the Empire, and the end of a protestant way of life. Once Ulster Protestants identity defined or outlined, I tried to see how it fits within Irishness and Britishness. However Irishness and Britishness are related to two nations, the Irish Catholic nation and the British Protestant one whereas Ulster Protestants can not be said to be a nation. But they definitely call themselves Irish and British even if both nations reject them. They explain their being rejected by defining themselves as a superior breed of Irish and British people. They want to belong to the British state and not to the British nation, the difference in the definition of Britishness is bridged by the Empire, even if Ulster Protestants do not define it the same way as British people do

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis looks at Bulmer Hobson, the Irish nationalist and Quaker. It is not concerned with the later phase of Hobson's career, fi•om 1908 when he was based in Dublin, but with the earlier one in Ulster. The thesis charts Hobson's formative years and the important influences on him during this period. The early part of the thesis pays particular attention to Hobson's Quakerism and nationalism and the interaction between the two. It looks at the development of this synthesis which provided the basis for Hobson's 'defensive warfare' programme which served as a blueprint for achieving independence from the British and which Hobson applied through the Irish independence movement, Sinn Fein. As part of this the thesis looks at Hobson's early work, both with and in setting up cultural nationalist organizations in Belfast. From here, the thesis goes on to look at how Hobson incorporated Quaker and nationalist influences into his later nationalist work in Ulster, paying particular attention to the work of Hobson's organization, the Dungannon Club. The second part of the thesis looks at the formation and expansion of this organization and its successor, the Sinn Fein League. In looking at both, the thesis examines the two organizations' relationships with other Sinn Fein and non Sinn Fein organizations, as well as the advanced nationalist organization, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB). While the thesis is concerned with Hobson's career in Ulster, it does not look at this in isolation from the rest of the Irish nationalist movement; instead it links it to wider developments in Ireland, Britain and America. As part of this, particular attention is paid to organizations like the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Independent Orange Order, the United Irish League and Clan-naGael. The thesis looks at how Hobson tried to pull these various organizations together, as part of a new 'Young Ireland' movement based around his socioeconomic programme, but it recognises this ultimately failed.

Abstract:

This thesis examines how football reflects the identity of a specific community of Ulster unionists living in Northern Ireland. The central hypothesis at the heart of this study concerns the multifaceted nature of unionist and loyalist identity within a subgroup of Protestant, working class supporters of Glentoran Football Club residing in east Belfast. The thesis demonstrates that these supporters exhibit a multitude of identity positions that are influenced by historical, political and spatial factors and are neither constant across time nor consistent in any one individual. It is also established that among this group of Irish league supporters are a significant number of individuals who are able to exhibit a liberal unionist stance, contrary to the more intransigent views that have often been presented in previous work as representative of loyalist football supporters. Theoretically, this thesis is underpinned by a number of perspectives on national identity, the nation and nationalism and specifically those elements of theory that are most pertinent to the analysis of unionist identities and their expression. The study reveals that the identities that cohere around Glentoran FC lie on a continuum of identities that reflect Ulster British, civic, political and liberal unionism, Ulster Loyalist, ethnic and cultural unionist identity positions. In total, fifty people were interviewed, having been chosen through a mixture of purposive, snowballing and theoretical selection techniques. The sample consisted mainly of those who supported Glentoran, but also of those who had significant experience with the club such as players, staff employed by Glentoran FC and personnel within the Irish Football Association with significant experience. In addition to interviews, participant observation at 16 Glentoran matches was undertaken between May 2006 and May 2013 and documentary analysis was carried out to gather further information and to verify some of the statements made during interviews.

Mathis, Kate Louise. "Evolution of Deirdriu in the Ulster Cycle." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9813.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between the character 'Deirdriu', depicted within Longes mac n- Uislenn, and the woman later referred to as Derdri, Deirdri, Deirdre or Derdrinne. It explores the initial construction and gradual evolution of this character, in relation to the manuscript tradition of Longes mac n-Uislenn and its descendants within the Ulster Cycle. It is proposed that the characterisation of Deirdriu constitutes a form of commentary upon the flawed nature of Conchobor mac Nessa’s kingship of Ulster, but that she is not a figure of sovereignty in the sense in which it has been understood by previous critics of the tradition. The thesis reassesses the contents, structure, and manuscript tradition of the textual witnesses to Longes mac n-Uislenn and Oidheadh Chloinne hUisneach, its later development, and assesses the validity of regarding both tales as primarily concerned with the portrayal of Deirdriu. It is argued that several distinct strands of material relating to the relationships between Deirdriu, the sons of Uisliu, Conchobor mac Nessa and Fergus mac Róich may be identified, ranging from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern period, and that these strands have exercised varying levels of influence upon subsequent revisions of these relationships, up to and including the period of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Irish Renaissance. The conclusions of this thesis proceed from close textual analysis of the primary source material, supplemented, where appropriate, by narratological theory. Chapter 1 introduces the issues to be considered, and reviews the relevant literature to date. Chapter 2 outlines the methodological approaches adopted throughout the following textual analysis. Chapter 3 defines the episodic structure of Longes mac n-Uislenn, and analyses its contents. Chapter 4 presents a detailed consideration of the Glenmasan Manuscript, the earliest extant witness to Derdriu’s evolution within the Early Modern period. Chapter 5 argues that the characterisation of Deirdriu within the Ulster Cycle constitutes a form of commentary upon the flawed nature of Conchobor mac Nessa’s kingship of Ulster – within the earlier tradition – and upon the compromised honour of Fergus mac Róich within the later.

Brennan, John. "Ulster's uncertain menders? : the challenge of reintegration and reconciliation for Ulster loyalists in a post-ceasefire society." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2017. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.725489.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis critically analyses the process of building peace in the post-ceasefire space of Northern Ireland, from the perspective of loyalist ex-combatants attempting to reintegrate as part of a Disarmament Demobilisation Reintegration (DDR) programme. It does this to understand the challenges loyalist ex-combatants face as they move from ’uncertain defenders’ to becoming peacebuilders, or uncertain menders. In drawing on French post-structuralists, the thesis develops a conceptual framework, to critique the Liberal Peace, which expects ex-combatants to play a positive role in the reintegration process and promote reconciliation once a peace settlement has been agreed. This compilation of loyalist ex-combatant experiences then deepens knowledge on how post-Cold War peace theory shapes the way of doing peacebuilding in an increasingly neoliberal global environment. Learning from loyalist ex-combatant experiences then helps explain the everyday challenges marginalised and disadvantaged groups face in a post-ceasefire space, not just in Northern Ireland but in other conflict zones attempting to regenerate societies emerging from violent conflict. Based on these everyday challenges the thesis establishes that in the absence of a formal DDR programme, or a positive peace, many ex-combatants, and other marginalised groups, become susceptible to the coercive manipulation of local political and civil society elites, post-ceasefire paramilitary agency and international funders, who use neoliberal governmentalities to shape the conduct of conduct in peacebuilding to affect a wider societal transformation, from violent conflict towards peace and neoliberalism. With this paradigmatic shift away from tackling the underlying causes of violent conflict and promoting social justice, the thesis establishes that neoliberalism increasingly produces a ‘violent peace’ that increases, rather than reduces, the potential for polities to relapse into violence. To help resolve this negative peace, the thesis concludes with the promotion of ‘radical hope’ where subaltern critical agency may non-violently guide polities from violent conflict towards a post-neoliberal peace.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine civic society in Ulster towns from the mid to late .' eighteenth century. The study will also make comparisons and contracts between the towns that were developing rapidly throughout the century. It will study the econonic, social and political development of Derry and Strabane and the towns of east Ulster, Armagh, Belfast, Carrickfergus, Newry and Lisburn. The thesis will trace the commercial growth of these towns, examining the type of industries that were established and the various goods that were imported and exported. It will also look at the role of the merchantile community, especially in relation to Belfast. The study will also examine the social life of Ulster towns. It will provide an anlysis of the various type of events enjoyed both by the elite and general populace that took place throughout the province. They included the siege commemorations in Derry, street processions in Belfast, the theatre, balls, concerts, cock-fighting and horse racing. The thesis will also explore the different type of clubs and societies that were established in the different towns. The thesis will also look at politics in Ulster in the eighteenth-century. It will examine the role played townspeople and the merchant classes in urban politics. Beginning in the 1750s, the study will trace how the politicisation of Ulster towns developed through the establishment of 'patriot' clubs, mass circulation of pamphlets and the election of 'independent' candidates. In the end a more in-depth anlysis of civic society in eighteenth-century Ulster will have emerged.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite recent interest in masculinities and the Northern Ireland peace process, the gender dynamics of Ulster Loyalism has yet to capture serious interest among scholars. This research attempts to address this omission in the literature that informs our understanding of Loyalism. The research was conducted with groups of UDA and UVF aligned young men, who participated in a series of workshops. Groups of older Loyalist men and Loyalist women also participated in focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The thesis focuses on three aspects of Loyalist masculinity. Loyalism is presented as a highly gendered form of military masculinity, deeply rooted in local community narratives and social and cultural practices. Loyalist masculinity is not monolithic, but instead is understood as multiple and fluid. The thesis addresses how allegiance to patriarchal hypermasculinities damaged the emotions of Loyalist men and left many struggling with relationship problems, substance abuse, and mental health issues relating to the conflict. The thesis also explores the extent to which Loyalist men are engaging in transformation, if and why Loyalist men have changed, and in what forms this change takes. It understands the transformation of Loyalist masculinities as the transcending of patriarchal values and the will to dominate. It outlines the uneven nature of transformation of Loyalist men and describes the factors that influenced their transformation as twin pressures that both simultaneously encourage and discourage change in Loyalist men as Northern Ireland advances further into a post-violent terrain.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of the Irish revolution on the communities of east Ulster between the years 1920 and 1922. It focuses on the mainly Protestant counties of Antrim and Down where loyalist violence was more intense and frequent than that of republicans. The aim is to explore the nature of loyalist violence and its relationship with the wider conflict in Ireland. Historians have focused their efforts on republican and state violence. By utilising hitherto unused sources, this thesis sheds light on the factors that shaped loyalist violence. It explores the importance of how events in southern Ireland influenced conflict in the north-east. Other factors are considered, such as the role of crowd psychology and territoriality. Loyalist rioters believed they acted on behalf of the unionist community, but the attitudes of ordinary unionists to violence were wide-ranging. This thesis explores these attitudes alongside the dynamics of popular unionist politics. It discovers that the unionist community harboured a diverse range of views on violence, the Unionist party leadership, nationalists and the British government. Many unionists took an active part in the revolution, most clearly by enrolling in the Ulster Special Constabulary. Questions are asked of this force, such as who joined and why. It is argued that ordinary people enrolled and in terms of occupational background the B Specials largely reflected east Ulster society. The assumption that the u.s.c. was recruited from more extreme unionists is challenged and structural explanations are offered for acts of unauthorised violence from special constables. The place of the nationalist community within the context of revolution and unionist militancy receives detailed attention. Nationalists were deeply divided between Sinn Fein and constitutionalists. This thesis offers insight on how this division manifested itself in east Ulster and how nationalists reacted to the revolution.

Ó, Luain Kerron Rónán. "Popular collective action in Catholic Ulster, 1848-1867." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2016. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.709687.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis, by examining the attitudes of Catholics who engaged in collective action in Ulster during the years 1848-1867, challenges the prevailing historical consensus that the period between the Famine and the Land War was one in which Catholic Ireland was content within the Union. It documents five key social and political forms of collective action that existed in Catholic Ulster during these years, and the mentalities which such action derived from. The work concludes that, in contrast to those scholars who maintain that nationalism was only imported into the north from the 1880s onwards, its lineal antecedents can be traced back to the years 1848-67 at least, if not much earlier. Moreover, when considering the accumulated forms of collective action in the province during these years it becomes clear that at least some Catholics were not being absorbed into an accommodation with British power; on the contrary, the culture and behaviour of those Ulster Catholics who practiced collective action exhibited a variety of disaffected mentalities which were inherently inimical to the state and, in the case of political forms of organisation such as the Confederates and the Fenians, were explicitly hostile to the British government.

Full text

Abstract:

L'insurrection irlandaise de 1641 fut le premier soulèvement majeur de la population catholique de l'île après la fin de la conquête de l'Irlande en 1603. L'insurrection débuta dans la province d'Ulster, récemment colonisée par un programme officiel d'implantation de protestants britanniques, et a longtemps été représentée comme un massacre prémédité et généralisé de protestants par des catholiques. Cette étude vise essentiellement à confronter la représentation dominante de l'insurrection à ce que l'on peut savoir de la réalité locale de ce soulèvement. Il s'agit à la fois d'étudier la place de cet événement dans l'histoire irlandaise et d'analyser sa signification quant au processus de colonisation qu'il interrompit. Ce travail, fondé sur l'exploitation des témoignages des victimes de l'insurrection, cherche à fournir un éclairage différent sur le sujet, en se concentrant sur les conditions de vie locale et les relations intercommunautaires existant avant et pendant l'insurrection
The 1641 rising was the first major insurrection of the Catholic population of Ireland since the island was finally conquered in 1603. The rising started in Ulster, where British Protestants had recently settled as part of the official scheme for the plantation of the province. The 1641 rising has long been represented as a general premeditated massacre of Protestants by Catholics. This study seeks to confront the dominant representation of the insurrection with what can be known of the local history of the event. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse both the place of the rising in Irish history and its meaning as regards the colonising process it interrupted. This research is based on the exploitation of the depositions left by the victims of the rising and tries to throw a different light on the matter by focusing on the local living conditions and cross-community relations that existed before and during the insurrection

Abstract:

This thesis explores the representation ofmasculinity within a number ofNorthern Irish novels written in the last 15 years. The main focus is the novels of Eoin McNamee, Glenn Patterson and Robert McLiam Wilson, although the works of a number of other authors are also discussed. This thesis has taken a thematic approach to the contemporary Northern Irish novel and attempted to analyse the myriad facets of masculinity as it is imagined in this fiction. This analysis encompasses ideas of femininity and maternity, class and the dominant discourses of masculinity, as they exist in academia and beyond. Masculinity in Northern Ireland is influenced by both the social landscape ofNorthern Ireland and wider social trends, as the novels under consideration are affected both by the forms of masculinity they represent and the formal constraints of the tradition of the novel. One ofthe key aims of this thesis is to disrupt notions of a hegemonic Northern Irish masculinity, based on violent conflict and hyper-masculine sectarian rhetoric, as the only option available to Northern Irish men. The three sections of this thesis were designed to represent the three key facets of Northern Irish manhood; their bodies, their performances and the way in which their subjectivity has been bound up with violence.

Abstract:

A Northern dimension to Irish literature did not spring fully-formed into existence in 1968. This thesis retrieves from the canonical shadows the range of the Northern contribution to the Literary Revival in Ireland. Further, it attempts to show how the achievements of such writers and cultural activists as Alice Milligan, Francis Joseph Bigger, Gerald MacNamara and Joseph Campbell intersected with and critiqued the Revival as it was unfolding in Dublin, particularly in the development of a national drama. This small Northern intelligentists, largely based in Belfast, played a vital role in the development of an Irish cultural manifesto which was intended to be pluralist, modern and anti-sectarian. Belfast, the only city in Ireland to have undergone an Industrial Revolution, was in many ways the most ‘modern’ of Irish cities, and its nationalist writers faced very different political circumstances from their Southern counterparts. Their work reflected this. Milligan, Bigger and MacNamara were all Ulster protestants: they sought (unsuccessfully in the end) to secure Ulster protestantism’s place in the Revival. Milligan combined republicanism with poetry, history, drama and journalism. Bigger constructed a material past for the North in his work as an antiquarian and writer. Macnamara satirized the occult excesses of Yeatsian Celticism, and wrote plays which were hugely popular, yet formally innovative. He was strongly influenced by developments in European drama, particularly expressionism. Joseph Campbell, one of the few catholics prominent in the cultural Revival in the North, wrote a poetry which prefigured that of Padraic Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh and Patrick Kavanagh, but also of poets of the ‘second’ Northern Revival, John Montague and Seamus Heaney. The second part of the dissertation and the introductory chapter argue that the advent in Ireland and Partition in 1921 was the reason that this Northern aspect to the Revival has been all but forgotten. Not only did these writers disappear from the Irish literary scene, later the canon, but their main achievement - the creation of a strong Ulster regionalism which was nonetheless firmly nationalist - was assimilated and re-developed by an Ulster Unionist establishment busy inventing Northern Ireland. Thus, after 1921, now divested of its national foundations, Ulster regionalism became a cultural ballast to partition. The poetry of John Hewitt is examined in this context, alongside the development of a partitionist geography, archaeology and historiography. Finally, it is argued that the nationalist legacies of these early Ulster regionalists were recuperated and reconfigured in the work of Northern catholic John Montague in the 1950s and 60s, culminating in his long poem The Rough Field (1972). In many ways, then, this dissertation seeks in the library and cultural-political history of the North of Ireland during the Revival a proper and hitherto unexplored context in which to read post-1968 Northern poetry.

Abstract:

En 1976, le phénomène punk surgit à Londres, semble remettre en cause certains des codes sociaux et des normes culturelles la société britannique, et est le sujet d’une « panique morale ». La même année, en Irlande du Nord, 297 personnes sont tuées à cause du conflit. Les Sex Pistols invoquent l’anarchie dans leurs textes, mais pour les nord-irlandais, « Anarchy in the UK » est bien plus qu’une chanson : il s’agit de leur quotidien. Pourtant, alors que le conflit fait rage, alors que protestants et catholiques restent cantonnés dans leurs quartiers respectifs, des centaines de jeunes issus de deux communautés que tout semble opposer se retrouvent semaine après semaine dans les mêmes lieux pour partager une passion commune : celle du punk rock. Quelles sont les spécificités que présentent le punk en Irlande du Nord ? Quel impact ce phénomène de culture populaire a-t-il sur les pratiques des jeunes Nord-Irlandais qui participent à cette scène et à cette subculture alors que le conflit bat son plein ? Quels mécanismes permettent aux punks d’imaginer et d’incarner une « Alternative Ulster » ? Afin d’apporter des réponses à ces questions, le présent travail s’attache à retracer l’émergence de la scène punk nord-irlandaise (1976-1983), à analyser les manières dont sont « pratiqués » les lieux sur lesquels elle repose, à interroger l’importance de la tenue et du corps punk et, finalement, à mettre en lumière les thématiques qui traversent la chanson punk
In 1976, punk took the United Kingdom by surprise, and for one brief moment, challenged some of the cultural and social assumptions of British society, shocking public opinion and causing an outbreak of moral panic in its wake. The Sex Pistols could sing about it, but for people living in Northern Ireland, “Anarchy in the UK” was more than just a song, it was what they experienced in their everyday lives. Yet, while the conflict raged on, and at a time when cross-community contact had become uncommon, a minority of the North’s youth turned to punk. These young Catholics and Protestants ignored their political and religious differences and met up in streets and record shops during the day, and at night crowded into the few bars and pubs that allowed punk bands to play. What specific features did Northern Ireland punk display? What impact did this popular culture phenomenon have on the practices of the young participants who took part in this scene and subculture in the midst of the “Troubles”? What mechanisms enabled punks to imagine and embody an “Alternative Ulster”? In order to find answers to these questions, we will provide an account of the emergence of the punk scene in Northern Ireland (1976-1983), analyse the ways in which its spaces were “practiced”, examine the importance of punk dress and, finally, explore the themes which appear in punk rock songs

Abstract:

Ulster-Scots studies and ecocriticism are two areas of literary criticism that have burgeoned in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This thesis provides an original contribution to knowledge by employing ecocritical methodologies to analyse UlsterScots poetry published between 1790 and 1850. This thesis adds to the awareness of UlsterScots literature as a transcultural form ofIrish and Scottish writing. It also demonstrates that interd iscipl inary ecocritical approaches successfully enlighten the engagement of U IsterScots poetry, as a unique from of cultural expression, with the natural world. This thesis provides a study of poetry from six of the foremost Ulster-Scots poets of the Romantic and early Victorian eras. A range of poems that engage with nature and environment are analysed in this thesis using applicable methodologies from ecocriticism. The primary aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between Ulster-Scots poetry and nature, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Representations of human ecology, natural phenomena and the physical environment are analysed in the poems studied in this thesis, in particular to establish how they are mediated by literary, linguistic and cultural traditions. This thesis reveals that Scottish and eighteenth-century neoclassical genres form a major basis for the Ulster-Scots poetic engagement with nature and the environment, ofthis era. The pastoral genre is also particularly prevalent in Ulster-Scots poetry and reflects both a literary-cultural preference, and the rural, agricultural habitat that is a genuine everyday experience for many of these poets in Ulster. As a consequence the complex social and environmental impact of agricultural improvement, in the latter half of the eighteenth century, and the advance of urbanisation and industrialisation in the nineteenth century, in the north of ireland; are major themes in Ulster-Scots poetry of this era.
