Abstract
Remembering the Troubles is a dossier collecting articles based on an afternoon discussion workshop as part of the “Languages of War” series held at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies on Language, Culture and Translation held in March 2005. The papers discussed the themes of memory and forgetting with particular reference to two books on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974, The Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, by Don Mullan, and Later On. The Monaghan Bombing Memorial Anthology, edited by Evelyn Conlon, both of whom were present at the workshop. The dossier is divided into three parts. The first is an introductory section in which Raffaella Baccolini discusses different approaches to memory and forgetting in relation to the theme of trauma, and Patrick Leech gives a general introduction to the 1974 bombings. The second section, “Remembering Monaghan”, consists of four papers discussing the theme of memory, remembering and forgetting as they emerge in Evelyn Conlon’s collection. The third expands the discussion to include a consideration of the theme of memory in relation to the Belfast of the period of the “Troubles”. This section includes a previously unpublished autobiographical account of Don Mullan’s experiences on a placement in a Protestant Youth Club, Parkmore, in Belfast. The dossier closes with a “Postscript” by Evelyn Conlon.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
