Examining a diverse corpus of drama and theatre events, both mainstream and on the fringe, this study critically elaborates a seismic shift in Irish masculinities. This book argues, then, that Irish manhood has shifted from embodying and enacting post-colonial concerns of nationalism and national identity, to performing models of masculinity that are driven and moulded by the political and cultural practices of neoliberal capitalism. Masculinities and Manhood in Contemporary Irish Drama charts this shift through chapters on performing masculinity in plays set in both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, and through several chapters that focus on Womens and Queer drama. It thus takes its readers on a journey: a journey that begins with an overtly patriarchal, nationalist manhood that often made direct comment on the state of the nation, and ultimately arrives at several arguably regressive forms of globalised masculinity, which are couched in misaligned notions of individualism and free-choice and that frequently perceive themselves as being in crisis. 001441314 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001441314 650_0 $$aIrish drama$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism. 001441314 650_0 $$aIrish drama$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001441314 650_0 $$aIrish drama$$xNorthern Irish authors$$xHistory and criticism. 001441314 650_0 $$aMasculinity in literature. 001441314 650_6 $$aThéâtre irlandais$$y21e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001441314 650_6 $$aThéâtre irlandais$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001441314 650_6 $$aThéâtre irlandais$$xAuteurs nord-irlandais$$xHistoire et critique. 001441314 650_6 $$aMasculinité dans la littérature. 001441314 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001441314 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441314 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aO'BRIEN, CORMAC.$$tMASCULINITIES AND MANHOOD IN CONTEMPORARY IRISH DRAMA.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z3030840743$$w(OCoLC)1259587951 001441314 852__ $$bebk 001441314 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-84075-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441314 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441314$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441314 980__ $$aBIB 001441314 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441314 982__ $$aEbook 001441314 983__ $$aOnline 001441314 994__ $$a92$$bISE
